Best new equipment introduced in ‘24

I keep saying that I would love to see a solid comparison of these two sets of irons.
being able to do that personally would be AWESOME lol
 
I don't play the Chrome Tour ball, but for the masses, it seems to have had the biggest impact.
 
Mizuno 245 - slightly bias, first Mizuno set for me

Smoke driver
SM10 Vokeys
 
Liked the feel of Ti Fusions when I demoed them. Like Opus and the tech behind both...
For me, however, it has to be Chrome Tours. They're like the complete package for me. Great short game spin, good feel off the putter, excellent launch and low spin off driver. And did I mention downrange dispersion.
 
Does the 2025 AC Club membership count as equipment???

Currently I'm choosing the GT Drivers and Fairways, especially the fairways.
 
Ai smoke face tech
LAB putters
7 wood

A few that stand out to me.
 
I'll go with the things I've used

AI smoke driver - a miracle worker
C524 - best fairway I've ever hit
 
Limit3d irons.
 
L.A.B. DF3 Putter owned 2024
 
Cobra Limit3d irons.
 
Actually in my bag it’s the Callaway Ai smoke series of drivers. Every driver is long when you hit the sweet spot. Callaway managed to somehow make everywhere on the face long.
 
Ai one putters for me. Particularly the #7
 
Ai Smoke driver and Chrome Tour balls.
 
So many choices. It seemed like companies were really pushing innovative ideas this year. The best tech I’ve tried for an extended time was the Ai Smoke driver. It was ridiculously forgiving which snowballed into better results and then better swings. Short term testing the JPX 925 irons are pushing forgiveness across the face in irons similar to what I saw in the Ai Smoke driver.

Not tested but as others mentioned the Limit3d irons sound very intriguing. So Cobra for showing what can be done with 3d printing, which is still wild to me. Titleist’s composite that tunes acoustics and sounds like metal is pretty cool too. Both of these have to get at least an honorable mention in my list even if I haven’t hit either.
 
I haven’t tried a lot of new stuff in 24’ but what I have, I would say the Callaway Ai Smoke TD Max drivers… I am blown away by the performance in this limited release.
 
Ti Fusion and Limit3d win for story.

Chrome Tour wins for sheer performance
 
Edel Array putters.

Basically a putter system from fitting through build and afterward.

If you want to change something (e.g. stroke changes and you want to try a different hosel shape) you don’t have to buy a new putter, just buy the new hosel and swap it in.
 
I mean, it HAS to be the LIMIT3D irons by a mile. It's completely groundbreaking and will change iron design moving forward.

The only thing close might be the Odyssey AI inserts.

Chrome Tour's, while they have been phenomenal, aren't groundbreaking per se. They aren't out there changing the game of the golf ball market at least I don't believe.

I think they come close. There have been a few balls recently that claim to have the low driver spin, distance, etc. coupled with high short game spin. I think the CT's take that with feel and bring it home with the downrange dispersion. Love the Limit3d irons both the look at the tech. I wonder if there weren't finish questions with the Ti Fusions, if they would be the number 1 pick for a lot of folks on this thread. I hit both the Limit3d and Fusions at demo days, and the Fusions were unlike nothing else I've hit before. Now, the Cobra's, felt great and not at all what I'd expect from a 3d printed iron, which could be considered a good thing for people.

The limit3ds will change how every company looks at making irons. It’s an astronomically different process, and as 3D printing moves forward and becomes more economical, that is the direction many will look to move towards. The production time and precision you can get with it is completely unmatched.

I just don’t see how the chrome tours can be on that level at all. Even the TI fusions can’t say they reinvented anything that I recall after reading about them, even if they are fantastic.
 
For me, it has to be the DF3 Broomstick because I waited through so many delays to finally get my hands on it and it lived up to all expectations.
 
I'm surprised this thread doesn't have more pages already. Lot of new gear out there this year and we've seen on other threads how good the products are and how much some of us really love them.

I wonder if it’s because so many of the loved 2024 products are incremental improvements of the previous generation of the design? Look at how little buzz and excitement there was around the Qi10. It was a difficult to be excited by a stealth 3 with a new name and color scheme. The #1 ranked male and female golfers in the world both play Qi10 drivers and there is almost no hype or excitement for the club.
