Nike Golf releases a video of its athlete’s reactions and perspectives on its new VR Pro Combo irons. Lots of starpower included such as Michelle Wie, Paul Casey, Stewark Cink, and Mr. Molinari. Plus another win on the Nike scoreboard for its VR franchise LPGA Tour star with Suzann Pettersen’s win at the Sybase Matchplay. Guess the combination of blades, split cavity, and pocket cavity design in an iron set is really catching on and enabling Tour players to win.  Let’s see if that translates to the rest of us.

Red Bull USA releases this video of NASCAR driver Brian Vickers and LPGA youngster Alexis Thompson giving each other “driving lessons” on their respective tracks. Filmed in Phoenix, Arizona, at the Firebird Racetrack and Troon’s Whirlwind Golf Club at Wild Horse Pass. Vickers gets his NASCAR car going really fast and Alexis looks scared shitless in some scenes. Sick doughnut burnout scene with Thompson behind the wheel too. Lots of heat around this LPGA pro, and Vickers sure knows how to drift a golf cart and get it on two wheels.

ONOFF unveils a well-designed 2011 shoe lineup. The high quality craftsmen start with a wooden mold that builds the shoe from the inside out. ONOFF adds a well-cushioned sole and a hyper elastic layer that also runs the entire length of the foot. For traction, the shoes add traditional Stinger III spikes and specially designed dot grips built into the outsole as auxiliary spikes. The Japanese also water tested the shoes for 2 hours in over 4cm of H2O to make sure your feet stay dry in their spikes, even under the most extreme conditions. Available in black or white colorways.

Japanese golf clothier ONOFF releases its new 2011 polos in a dazzling array of colors and stripes. Abit progressive as the Japanese always are, you can beat the soft woven cottons and fine detail stitching and discreet logos. These ONOFF shirts will keep the heads turning because hardly anyone even knows about the brand this side of the Pacific.

Tyler, the Creator, released this promotional video for his album, Goblin (dropped May 10), featuring his alter-ego “Thurnis Haley.” In this comedic skit, Haley, who is an avid golfer, recounts some of his golf course experiences that included someone taking his balls.

Delofted had a chance to swing by the Psycho Bunny offices in NYC for an exclusive look at some of the new and exciting product soon to be released at retail. Big thanks to the crew there — Robert, Greg, Carolina, Michael, and of course, Mr. Godley. The brand is hot off its last season of sold out polos, shirts and sweaters at high-end stores like Saks, Barneys, Nordstroms, and Neiman Marcus. Not to mention the blue-checked with white collar button-down shirt (rocked by PGA Tour Pro Cameron Tringale in our video) which stocked out in mere days. Psycho Bunny is gearing up for some serious style domination on and off the golf course. The company is also launching a new website, blog, and online store in June. So be on the lookout for that. Must cop some crazy cool now. We have so many photos we had to break it up into two parts – Part 1 now, Part 2 to follow shortly.

Keep reading for more intel and the exclusive photos… seriously.

Some of us at Delofted have been privileged enough to play a few rounds walking with the Ogio Velocity on our shoulders. Jackpot. With the UltraLite Performance, you can definitely notice the lighter load than with other bags. At only 3.6lbs without clubs, it’s like a feather but durable enough to take a beating and travel. We love the eight pockets, water holder, and new O-Shox strap system that keeps the bag in place. We’d also opt for the brighter colors, as these bags are too good to blend in.
