TRUE linkswear to Debut All-New LUX Hybrid at 2023 PGA Show in Orlando, Fla.
TACOMA, WA – TRUE linkswear (TRUE), purveyors of ultra-comfortable, modern golf footwear designed for the rigors of walking amid the elements, will debut the all-new LUX Hybrid at the 2023 PGA Show Jan. 24-27 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla.
The LUX Hybrid is a performance-driven, athletically-inspired golf shoe designed to look like a traditional saddle shoe but built with TRUE’s market-leading technology. With over 1,000 rounds of PGA and LPGA TOUR golf played in the LUX Hybrid by TRUE Ambassadors like Joel Dahmen and Christina Kim, high-level player feedback led to creating a comfortable, durable shoe that performs at the highest level of the game.
To create the LUX Hybrid, TRUE designers took the modern performance and heritage design from the LUX Knit and elevated the aesthetic, fit, and function. A leather saddle was added for a cleaner, premium, classic golf aesthetic with additional midfoot stability. The LUX Hybrid also includes TRUE’s new Achilles heel pad, its TPU heel stabilizer, and a high-retention elastic heel lock system for an elevated fit and feel. With updates to the midsole compound and insert and improvements to the overall construction – the LUX Hybrid is TRUE’s highest quality and most comfortable TOUR performance shoe yet.
The LUX Hybrid is available in three high visibility core colors, black, grey and white, and two limited heritage collection colors, admiral and cognac. Weighing 11.2 ounces (based on a men’s size 9), the LUX Hybrid is offered in men’s sizes 7-11.5, 12, 13, 14 and 15 with an MSRP of $195.

World No. 2 Nelly Korda Signs Multi-Year Agreement with TaylorMade Golf
CARLSBAD, CA – TaylorMade Golf and World No. 2 on the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings Nelly Korda have agreed to a multi-year partnership beginning at this week’s Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions at Lake Nona.
The eight-time winner on the LPGA Tour, major champion and Olympic Gold Medalist will play a full bag of TaylorMade equipment and TP5 golf ball.
With testing still ongoing, at Lake Nona this week Korda’s TaylorMade staff bag will feature:
- Stealth 2 HD 9.0° driver
- Stealth 2 15.0° 3-wood
- Stealth 2 21.0° 7-wood
- P·770 5-6 irons, P·7MC 7-PW
- Milled Grind 3 50°, 54° wedges
- TP5 Golf Ball
Korda’s consistent delivery and desired draw shot shape made the Stealth 2 HD driver a perfect pair as she noted liking the look and feel of the draw bias head. In her irons, the 2023 P·770’s gave Korda added height to be able to hold greens from the 180-yard range, while in shorter irons the 2023 P·7MC’s provide the dispersion and distance control she was looking for.
After testing the TP5x and TP5 golf balls, Korda decided on TP5 as she was able to maintain a desired trajectory with softer feel and more spin around the greens.

Wilson Golf Reimagines Dynapower™ After 70 Years
CHICAGO, IL — Nearly 70 years after Wilson Sporting Goods Co. redefined expectations around power and distance in the iron category, the company today announced the re-launch of its Dynapower franchise. The complete equipment line includes adjustable drivers, fairway woods, hybrids and irons that will be available for pre-order on Wednesday, Feb. 22.
In 1956, Wilson introduced the original Dynapower iron and its patented bore-through hosel design that revolutionized weight distribution. By drilling weight out of the hosel, Wilson was able to redistribute weight directly behind the hitting area for more power. The 2023 Dynapower irons build on this same weighting concept to redefine distance. Using exclusive Dynapower A.I. modelling, Wilson analyzed thousands of permutations to identify the perfect variable thickness option for each section of the face to make more of the clubface hot, especially center-to-toe where approximately 85 percent of shots are hit.
Dynapower Iron Highlights:
- High MOI / low CG head design: Dynapower irons feature a high MOI head design for stability on off-center hits and a low center-of-gravity that fuels high launch and steeper descent angles.
- Powerful player-preferred head: Dynapower irons feature a pleasing top line and optimal offset for a powerful and balanced look at address.
New for 2023 is the family of Dynapower adjustable drivers, fairway woods and hybrids. New Dynapower drivers are available in two high performance options – Carbon or Titanium – each offering thousands of custom fit settings. Complementary fairway woods and hybrids round out the offering, all available in men’s and women’s options.
Dynapower Carbon Driver Highlights:
- Neutral bias, low-spin head design: The adjustable Dynapower Carbon driver was designed for tour caliber performance. Carbon panels on the crown and sole help produce a lower spinning, mid-launch ball flight that allows maximum workability and maximum distance.
- Dynamic face thickness: The PKR2 dynamic face thickness is optimized over the extended area of the clubface to power faster ball speeds.
- Dynamic one-click hosel adapter: The new six-way adjustable hosel allows players to change their loft and spin in a matter of seconds.
Dynapower Titanium Driver Highlights:
- Neutral-to-draw bias, High MOI head design: The new Dynapower Titanium driver was designed to deliver tour-level power with maximum forgiveness. A 16-gram rear weight helps produce a high MOI driver head with a deep, rear CG that delivers forgiving, mid-to-high launch angles with a neutral-to-draw bias.
- Dynamic face thickness: The PKR2 dynamic face thickness is optimized over the extended area of the clubface to power faster ball speeds.
- Dynamic sixone-click hosel adapter: The new six-way adjustable hosel allows players to change their loft and spin in a matter of seconds.
Dynapower Fairway Woods Highlights:
- Dynapower Fairway Woods feature rear weighting and variable face thickness to deliver the fastest ball speeds over the entire face for higher, soaring ball flight.
- High MOI head design: Dynapower fairway woods features a 12-gram rear weight to produce a stable, high MOI club head that delivers forgiving, higher launch angles.
- Advance, tour-inspired head shape: Tour player testing resulted in a flatter profile for a clean setup behind the ball.
Dynapower Hybrids Highlights:
- Dynapower Hybrids showcase a low center of gravity (CG) and variable face thickness to deliver easy-to-launch ball flight, precise distance and tour-player preferred, flatter profile for a confident setup.
- High MOI head design: Internal weighting positions the CG low and back to produce a high MOI clubhead for more forgiveness and higher launch angles.
- Advance, tour-inspired head shape: Tour player testing resulted in a flatter profile for a clean setup behind the ball.
The Dynapower clubs are available for pre-sale on Wilson.com starting Wednesday, Feb. 22 and at select retail locations beginning March 1.
