The Paris Golf Show 2025: A Celebration of Innovation and Tradition
The Paris Golf Show 2025 once again brought together golf enthusiasts and professionals at the Paris Event Center from March 15 to 17. This event, held at the Porte de la Villette, offered a unique blend of innovation and tradition, providing attendees with the opportunity to test various golf clubs, explore prestigious European destinations, and indulge in regional gastronomic delights.
French Putters in the Spotlight
One of the standout features of the Paris Golf Show 2025 was the introduction of new French putters. The Nîmes-based company Kantik launched its range of hyper-modular putters, designed to adapt to the user’s needs and preferences. José Modesto, a representative from Kantik, explained,
Our putters are aligned with the target. We’re not talking about zero torque; the torque is oriented towards the target and stable. No putters with these characteristics were made before. We designed them in a configuration and could no longer move. The putters are adaptable in LIE, Swing Weight, Loft… We offer a whole range of visual benchmarks to adapt to the psychomotor preferences of the player.
A good putter is a putter that we do not need to adapt. It is the putter that adapts to the characteristics of the player
Kantik joins Runner, another high-end French company in the adaptable putters segment.
Number Simulators
Indoor golf solutions were a significant highlight, with many simulator cages scattered around the event. Companies like Golf at Home and Addon Golf showcased their products, which have gained popularity due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Maxime Kubyn from Golf at Home explained,
Golf at Home comes from TPG (Practice Golf). We designed everything that exists in indoor golf according to four axes: practice, simulator, educational tools, putting green. For a simulator, we provide the complete solution according to the needs and budget of the person from 7000 euros all inclusive.
Alvin Paty from Addon Golf added,
We are present in three countries and we can install our high-end simulators for passionate amateurs or professionals who could for example give courses on simulators. The simulators are on the rise with the possibility of playing whatever the weather conditions and even in the evening after work. The market has been growing since the COVID in particular. The dates of Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods also give a nice ad. We also have the feeling of participating in the democratization of golf in France by allowing people to discover golf as we would go to bowling or billiards with friends.
Italian Fashion in the Spotlight
Italy’s renowned fashion industry was well-represented at the Paris Golf Show 2025. Raimondi showcased an elegant, customizable range of golf shoes, while Wave Futura offered futuristic yet elegant textiles.
The representative from Raimondi stated,
Our shoes are fully customizable and we can even print your initials on leather. We offer models for men, women, and children. We take very precise measurements of each foot to adapt the two shoes to both feet.
The representative from Wave Futura added,
The textiles are made in Italy with a very comfortable, breathable, and solid material. We have all the scales in catalog and everyone can find a clothing adapted to their needs.
Marie-Valois, another Italian brand, also showcased its elegant and refined designs, originally created by the French Ms. Valois at the end of the last century.
Innovation at the Service of the Environment
Two French companies, Another Swing and Golfiller, highlighted their eco-friendly initiatives. Another Swing dives to recover lost golf balls from water hazards, while Golfiller offers a range of recycled golf balls.
Arthur Derderian, Managing Director of Another Swing, explained,
We clear by diving. Then we sort, we treat, we wash and recondition in Lyon. We offer several quality ranges. We manage to recycle 90% of the balls we collect. We pass once a year in our 140 partner golf courses, in particular to prevent the bullets from staying so long and the varnish deteriorates in the environment. We sell from -50% for the best balls and the prices then descend.
High-Tech and Ingenious Innovations
Egolf Series introduced a classification tool to track progress and compare performance with friends or community members. Jonas Huberlant, from Egolf Series, explained,
We are an organizer of competitions with friends. You can enter your score during or after its game and share it with whom you want. We then enter a classification and we can possibly win lots in net and gross. You can create your public or private group. Competition over a month, a week, a year. The application is free. There is no paper card which is good for the planet.
The key word is freedom! Freedom to play together or when everyone has time. And then we look at the ranking. When we are affiliated with a club, our golf appears attached to our name and we can click on the golf course to have details on the golf course. So it also makes it possible to put the golf courses forward.
Stéphane Barras, a pro teacher in Crans-Montana, developed Myhole, an ingenious metal piece designed to improve putting skills. In collaboration with MyPutter and the Putters MLA, Myhole offers a range of features to enhance putting.
Glamh, a small family company based in La Rochelle, offers a solution to keep rangefinders handy and easily accessible during play.
Looking Ahead
The Paris Golf Show will move to Cannes next year, with Marc Assous at the helm once again. This event promises to continue its tradition of showcasing the latest innovations and bringing together the golfing community.
