The Munich golf trade show is tonight winding down as various brands have revealed their line-ups for 2009. Callaway has been in the spotlight having launched two new drivers, Diablo and FT-9 and three new iron models X22, X22 Tour and X Forged. Odyssey has also launched a new range putters. The Odyssey Trion, 2-ball F7 and Rossie Blade are all interesting shapes that are set to attract their fair share of attention.
Yonex has launched a new range of clubs called VMX. We also spotted a new Adams driver called Insight Tech and a new Srixon range called WR.

So with all this new equipment to try in the forthcoming weeks, it s an exciting time. You can read full reviews of each of these clubs online and in the magazine as soon as we ve had the chance to try them.
