The European Ryder Cup Team will again be wearing ProQuip weatherwear. Leaving nothing to chance, team captain Paul McGinley has been intimately involved with the his team’s rain suits.

Captain McGinley selected Scottish company ProQuip Golf to design his team’s rain gear. The company has designed Ryder Cup gear 20 times for the European and American teams combined.

General manager of ProQuip Golf, Russell Brooks said:

“We first sat down with Paul McGinley in March 2013 to start planning the European Team weatherwear.

At every stage Paul displayed an exacting attention to detail and drew upon his vast expertise of how to play golf in all weather conditions. Together we have created outerwear that could prove a 13^th man for Team Europe if bad weather hits this week.”

Here’s a look at what the captain has selected to shield his side from the elements.

Technology: 2014 European Team Rain Suit by ProQuip

Exclusive DX5 fabric, unique to ProQuip, delivering ultra-lightweight, super soft feeling outer layer that is virtually silent to swing in

DX5 is a microfibre Polyester outer face fabric with a ground-breaking hydrophilic membrane, featuring millions of tiny pores, each significantly smaller than a water droplet

The pores allow air to escape without water getting in, delivering the highest levels of breathability and waterproofing available in golf clothing today

The suit is seam sealed with an innovative inner film called PU Microporous, delivering total waterproofness

Lightweight inner mesh lining for warmth, breathability and close fit with mid-layers

Raglan sleeves, with an extended one-piece seam from underarm to collarbone, providing greater freedom of movement around the shoulders, arms and upper torso

Side adjustor panels to eliminate fabric interference and best-fit around the midriff area
Waterproof zippers with storm flap protection

Each player has been supplied with two waterproof jackets, two playing tops and three pairs of trousers – a total of 84 pieces of weatherwear for the team.

New Level launches new 480-DB irons, blending performance and forgiveness

New Level has been making some really good golf equipment since the company started up in 2018. Offering irons that are more geared towards the better player, precision has been a fundamental philosophy for New Level in creating irons and wedges.

The 480 line of irons has been the flagship of the brand, and the newest member of that team is the 480-DB iron that is now open to pre-orders. A new cavity design is what the whole 480 line is about, and the 480-DB takes advantage of that with added ball speed and a larger sweet spot.

For players who require their irons to offer the best feel, rest assured the DB is a fully forged (from 1020 carbon steel) one-piece golf club. No multi-piece, hollow design with this iron.

While the 480-DB is the next generation of the popular 902-OS, New Level didn’t follow the current trend in golf by chasing distance with the new iron. They actually weakened the lofts on the 480-DB with the spec sheet showing a 33-degree 7-iron and 45-degree pitching wedge. These lofts allow the DB to have less offset while still offering consistent distance off the face.

A traditional design was also at the forefront of the new irons to make sure that golfers with an eye for detail can look down at them with confidence that they will perform under any condition.

A weight low in the back cavity will allow their master club builders to dial in the perfect weight for the golfer, no matter the length or shaft being used. New Level believes that the new 480-DB is one of the most forgiving one-piece forged irons on the market today. A pre-worn leading edge on the sole should get through the turf quickly and with reduced digging for better turf interaction.

You can pre-order the New Level 480-DB right now on the New Level website.
