Innovex E-Motion Ball
Innovex Golf is venturing into the ball market with the introduction of the E-Motion golf ball for 2008. The ball is designed for a tour-preferred trajectory off the tee, with a soft feel and plenty of bite on the greens.
The ball's "Progressive Motion Dual Core" is so-called because Innovex says the core senses and reacts to club loft and swing speed at impact, feeling firmer off the tee and on longer shots, but producing a softer feel off the scoring clubs.
The "Aeroblend" cover is a proprietary design with a 392-dimple pattern and a dimple design that the company believes provides bite on approaches and short shots to the green, but promotes roll on putts.
The 3-piece-construction ball will have an MSRP of $35.95 per dozen.
Sun Mountain RainFlex Outerwear
Sun Mountain's RainFlex line of outerwear is expanded for 2008 with the addition of new colors and patterns and construction improvements, as well as the brand new RainFlex HD suit. The RainFlex HD has a more traditional drape than the "regular" RainFlex suit, and more stretch.
Construction improvements include zipper tunnels, adding additional protection against the rain and leakage; locking zipper pulls to keep the zippers secured; and shoulder gussets that improve freedom of movement.
The RainFlex men's line includes full-zip jacket, long sleeve pullover, short sleeve pullover, vest, and pants. The Women's line includes long sleeve jacket, short sleeve jacket, long sleeve pullover, and pants. Pieces range in price from $100 to $215.
