Over 1,000 companies, and 42,000 industry professionals were on hand to see the latest in golf equipment, apparel and accessories for 2012.

Here's a look at some of the new and innovative products for 2012:

Odyssey Flip Face Putter

The best putter innovation at this years show was by far the Odyssey flip face, use the wrench to loosen the set screw and simply choose whether to go with the firm feel of a metal insert for slower greens or the white hot insert for a softer feel on fast greens, absolutely genius!
