Srixon RKT and ZXi, Garmin S72, Rapsodo MLM2XPRO: the six October 2026 golf launches in stock now, and which to buy

October brought new Srixon drivers and irons, Garmin's flagship golf watch, Rapsodo's first new launch monitor since the MLM2PRO, Foresight's entry camera unit and Takomo's first putter. All six are on sale now. What each one is, the spec that matters, and whether to buy or wait.

Titleist T150 review: one degree stronger than the T100 at the same price, and the only Titleist iron in the LPGA bags we track

The 2025 T150 is a T100 with a 1mm-longer blade, a muscle channel through the 7-iron and every loft a degree stronger. Lottie Woad and Lydia Ko play it as a full set; no PGA Tour bag in our file does. Who it suits, and who should save the fitting.

Ping G440 K review: the straightest driver Ping makes, and a premium over the G440 Max worth paying only for wide misses

Ping launched it in January 2026 and has held its price while the G440 Max was marked down, so it now costs nearly half as much again as the Max. The extra stability is real. Whether it is worth that depends on where on the face your bad drives come from.

Callaway X Forged review: the forged cavity back Ruoning Yin, Jeeno Thitikul and Minjee Lee use as scoring irons

Ruoning Yin's most recent published bag runs X Forged from the 7-iron down, under a hollow-body 5 and 6. Jeeno Thitikul and Minjee Lee also start it mid-set, with a different long iron above. That is the right way to buy it, too.

Srixon ZXi5 + ZXi7 combo set: the stock split is at the 7-iron, and 9 of the 10 ZXi7 tour bags we track switch sooner

Srixon now sells the blend its staff have played for two years as a single seven-club set. Its stock join sits at the 7-iron. Ryan Fox, Shane Lowry and four more tour bags switch at the 6, and three at the 5.

Cleveland RTZ review: in 11 of the 80 tour bags we track, and marked down now that RTZ 2 is out

Eight tour pros in our records carry RTZ as their entire wedge set, Ryan Fox won the Open with it, and Cleveland has just cut the price because RTZ 2 went on sale on 4 September. The new one changes the grinds, not the steel, which makes the old one the buy for most golfers.

Bettinardi HLX 6.0 review: a putter maker's forged wedge with two grinds where Vokey has six

Bettinardi's sixth-generation forged wedge brings more grooves, less offset in the lower lofts and some of the best milling detail in golf, at roughly Vokey money. The fitting matrix is eleven configurations deep, and that is the number to weigh before the looks.

McLaren Golf Series 1 review: a metal-injection-moulded blade for the player who was buying a blade anyway

The supercar company's first golf club is a muscle-back made by metal injection moulding, sold by the head and backed by Justin Rose. Take the badge off and there is a serious iron underneath. It is still a blade.

Review

Krank Formula Fire Pro review: Bryson's driver is a 105mph head, and Krank sells slower swingers a different face

A handmade long-drive driver from a brand with long-drive titles to its name and a US Open in its marketing. The interesting part is what Krank's own fitting chart says: this head is for 250-yard hitters, and nearly everyone else gets steered to a thinner face.

Review

Titleist GTS2 review: the forgiving head that tour bags play at 9 degrees

Titleist sells this as the stability model, and the four bags on our roster that carry one are all set at ten degrees or under. That gap between how it is marketed and how it is actually used is the most useful thing about it.

Review

Takomo Ignis D2 review: three weight ports became one, and the driver got better

The R&A took the original Ignis off the conforming list over one arrangement of its sole weights. Takomo's answer was to delete the arrangement — a single rear port instead of three — and the mass that freed up went to the perimeter, where it does more good anyway.

Tour Edge Exotics Milled Wedge review: three bounce letters instead of the grind alphabet

On sale today, at roughly half what a Vokey costs, with a milled face and a KBS shaft. The clever part is not the price. It is that the whole line is sold on three bounce profiles rather than a wall of grind letters nobody can decode.

Titleist T100 irons review: the most-played iron in the bags we track

Eight of the 53 tour setups we maintain carry them — double the next model. At around {{price}}, here's the honest read on who that actually makes them right for.

Titleist GT3 driver review: the adjustable one, for players who actually adjust

The compact, lower-spin half of the GT pair, and the most adjustable driver Titleist had made. Worth it only if you will use the track — here's how to tell.

PING S259 review: the wedge that finally stopped being a Ping-owner's default

PING's 2026 wedge builds on the tour-winning S159 with a groove strategy that changes by loft and six sole grinds across 46 to 62 degrees. The question is whether that is enough to move anyone off a Vokey.

Mizuno Pro M-15 review: the distance iron for people who don't want a distance iron

Mizuno's Modern Series finally makes a players' distance iron a good ball-striker will look at twice. The catch is where the extra yardage actually turns up.

Evnroll EZPZ review: the putter for everyone who tried zero torque and put it straight back

Guerin Rife watched the industry spend two years chasing zero torque and has shipped the opposite idea. It looks normal at address, which is the entire point.

TaylorMade Qi Max HL: the irons for golfers who've been told to swing faster for twenty years

High-launch irons get written about as a compromise for people who've lost something. That framing is wrong, and it's kept a lot of golfers playing clubs that don't work for them.

Review

Callaway Opus SP review: the wedge in four tour bags while everyone buys Vokey

Callaway's Spin Pocket wedge lands a lower, spinnier flight for about the same money as a Vokey. It is the one I would buy for firm turf and full shots, and the wrong call if your short game lives in soft sand.

L.A.B. DF3 review: the putter the tour keeps switching to

Callaway Quantum Triple Diamond review: distance for the faster swing

A low-spin head built for golfers with the speed to use it — not the forgiving all-rounder, and it's not pretending to be.

TaylorMade Spider ZT review: the zero-torque putter for Spider loyalists

The first zero-torque mallet from a major brand, with a Tour win already on the board. Is it the most natural way into 2026's biggest putting trend?

Odyssey Ai-ONE Jailbird review: the value pick of the zero-torque boom

Reviewers keep calling it the most stable zero-torque putter they have tested — at roughly half the price of the big names. Is it the smart buy?

TaylorMade MG5 review: the wedge that keeps spinning when it matters

Fresh grooves bite hard out of the box — but the real win is how long that spin survives the wet, the rough and the range.

PING i240 review: forgiveness you can feel, feedback you can trust

A compact cavity-back that flatters mishits without numbing the good ones — the set most mid-handicaps should actually be playing.

TaylorMade Qi4D driver review: forgiveness you can feel, speed you have to earn

The driver TaylorMade is keeping in the bag through 2027 — the first time since 2001 they've skipped an annual release. Here's whether it's the one to settle on.

PING G440 Max review: the forgiveness benchmark, quietly brilliant

If you slice, spray it, or just want to stop losing balls off the tee, this is the 2026 driver to buy — the most forgiving big-stick going, and a genuine buy-once club.

Takomo 101 MKII review: the irons quietly embarrassing the big brands

Scotty Cameron Phantom review: the mallet that justifies the obsession
