G/Fore offers new colors in 3rd year, shoes to come
Sick of wearing an all-white golf glove? So was G/Fore founder Mossimo Gianulli, who has expanded his company’s golf glove color options to 22 in its third year.
The new colors are called Jade, Pine, Pacific and Harvest. Customers can order one of these single-colored gloves or 18 others on the company’s website for $35 each.
For those who want a little more flair while golfing, they can order gloves from two different collections: the Limited Luxe and the Rocky Collection. Gloves from both of these collections also sell for $35 each.
The Rocky Collection, inspired by Robert Rock, are gloves that are mostly white. But there are five different color options for the stitching and the company’s logo, which has four different-facing G’s on it. The Limited Luxe collection gives golfers eight different models to choose from, with the thumb and closure being a different color than the base color.
The $35 price tag puts these G/Fore gloves on the pricier end of the golf-glove market. FootJoy’s most expensive glove is the Pure Touch Limited, which sells for $30. Most other premium gloves sell for around $20.
For golfers who want to try their hand at designing their own gloves, there is also that option on the G/Fore website. For $50, buyers can select the base color, thumb color, tab color, trim color and size of the glove.
“G/Fore gloves weren’t designed in a cubicle and tested in a factory,” Gianulli said. “They were born out of a desire to express myself while playing, and to help inject a little more fun and flair back into the game.”
Learn more about Gianulli and his company’s gloves from his interview with GolfWRX’s Zak Kozuchowski. In it, he discusses his company’s new golf shoes that are due out in September 2013.

Spotted: Axis1 prototype broomstick putter
We have seen an uptick in longer putters out on the professional tours with players gravitating toward either counterbalanced or broomstick styles. As a refresher, A “broomstick” putter is a long putter that is usually built to a length that goes up to your chest. If you have seen Adam Scott putt in a tournament recently, he uses what is classified as a broomstick putter.
Axis1 might not be the most common brand in the world of putters but they have been around a while, most notably in Justin Rose’s bag.
Axis1 is known for a putter that doesn’t look traditional but a design is used to get the center of gravity to the center of the club face, aligned with the shaft. This technology keeps the face aligned with the ball throughout the stroke. More traditional putters rotate around the shaft axis, which doesn’t align with the center of the putter, making it easier for the putter face to not be square to the target at impact.
This week at the Valero Texas Open, we spotted a prototype Axis1 putter in a long broomstick version. The head shape looks very similar to the current Axis1 Tour-HM putter that the company currently makes, which is a more squared-off mid-mallet. The prototype looks to have a similar multi-material head with a 304 stainless steel face mated to a composite back. Twin site lines run together, on the topline and on the flange, to create a longer line for aligning the putter. The steel face has a fairly shallow milling to it, and the flowing heel hosel connects to the aggressive shaft bend.
A matching black shaft is installed, and at the grip end is Super Stroke’s Zenergy Tour 1.0 two-piece in white and black. No word on if or when this will come to retail yet.
