Buy now or wait?

Our read, not the brands’. It’s opinion, built from their announcements and the models they replace, and each one covers its whole category.

Putters
Stability is the 2026 putter story. Zero-torque designs came from Odyssey, TaylorMade (Spider ZT Max), PXG, Vice, Wilson, Tour Edge, L.A.B. (VZN.1i) and Bettinardi (Antidote Hexperimental #7 and #9), with Mizuno's M.Craft X Z2 and Z3 due Oct. 30 as 2027 models. Vice, Wilson and Mizuno each describe lining the shaft axis up with the head's center of gravity so the face resists rotation. Classic shapes got attention too, from Scotty Cameron's Studio Style additions and Mizuno's forged M.Craft City to Bettinardi's BB Series and L.A.B.'s first heel-shafted LINK blades. Women get PING's G Le4 Anser 2D, Louise and Oslo and Wilson's 33-inch women's 606 and Lakeview. Our read: roll several on a real green, and get your length and lie checked.
Balls
Ball launches bunched up in January: Titleist's Pro V1x Left Dash, AVX, Tour Soft and Velocity, Callaway's Chrome Tour, Chrome Tour X and Chrome Soft, Bridgestone's Tour B, Wilson's Staff Model, XXIO's HYPER RD and Tour Edge's Hot Launch. TaylorMade's TP5 and TP5x followed in February with a microcoating that TaylorMade says lays an ultrathin, even coat over the dimples, and Srixon's Q-Star Tour arrived in March. We found no women-specific 2026 ball launch in our audited U.S. releases through Sept. 14. Our read: choose on flight, spin and feel around the greens, and test a few on the short game before you commit.
