Our Fearless Top 10 Golf Equipment Rumors for 2013

As the 2012 golf season comes to an end and prices of 2012 gear start to fall like the leaves on the trees, the speculation about the new 2013 golf equipment begins.

Most golf equipment manufactures do not release information about their 2013 product line until after the first of the next year and usually around the time of the National PGA Convention which happens in late January.

But throughout the fall and into winter we start to get bits and pieces of information that starts to circulate around the industry about what new and exciting products may be on the horizon.

Most of the information is from second or third-hand sources and usually ends up on discussion boards where the rumors grow from there.

So with no further adieu and with no guarantee of any of its accuracy, here are the top 10 hottest golf equipment rumors for 2013 that are being circulated around to date:

1.  TaylorMade will be coming out with their latest iteration of the "R" driver which would mean the R13 Driver. Do they take the risk of using the unlucky number 13 which is next in number sequence from the current R11? I can see TaylorMade doing it and coming up with a new clever Marketing campaign touting that the new 13 is now a lucky number... 
2.  Nike Golf will be coming out with two new lines of equipment: one being a "Tour" line targeted at low handicap golfers and another line targeted at the mid-to-high handicap golfer. Both lines will feature new drivers, fairways and hybrids.
3. Cobra Golf will be coming out with an update to the AMP driver called the AMP Cell Driver. These drivers will be available in 4 different colors and with a wrench the loft can be adjusted from 8.5 degrees up to 11.5 degrees.
4. There will also be a new Cobra AMP Cell Pro Driver available in 2 colors with loft adjustable from 7.5 degrees to 10.5 degrees. The AMP Pro Cell driver will also have an upgraded tour-level shaft.

6. Callaway will feature a new update to the highly successful RAZR-Fit driver with the driver head available in 4 different colors
