Ride to drive
The Milwaukee Golf Caddie is a specialized accessory that combines a certain subset of men’s two greatest passions — a.k.a. golf and their Harley (apologies ladies). If you’re the proud owner of 1995 to Current Road King, Road Glide, Tour Glide, Street Glide or Electra Glide, then the Golf Caddie’s current offerings will fit on [...]
Hidden Help
Golf is hard. Truth be told, we make it harder than it has to be. We’ll buy drivers and putters the size of snow shovels, but for some reason, we insist on playing irons beyond our abilities. Callaway Golf is offering a chance to make amends for years of frustration and futility with the RAZR [...]
Bulk in regulation
With just enough fleeting warmth to squeeze in a few final rounds, late Fall golf is all about layers and preparation. The latest from Nike Golf, Full Zip Wind Jacket ($85) is the perfect outer layer solution for moderate weather. Windproof and water-resistant the jacket weighs in slighty over a feathery 5 oz. The real [...]
Their playability is anything but limited
Nike Golf’s latest metal wood offerings have just been released and while the “Limited Edition” moniker caught our eye, an upgraded face technology is what grabbed our attention. Nike is unveiling its own multi-face thickness technology with NexCOR and when coupled with an enhanced compression channel results in a hotter club face and higher ball [...]
A method to the Madness
Following up on the success of the Method Putter, Nike Golf aims to expand their beachhead, quite literally, with a larger mallet. Building off the Method Core platform, the new Drone ($200) boasts some of the highest MOI (face stability) of any flat stick on the market. More stability means more forgiveness on mishits and [...]
Rethinking the Forged Iron
For most golfers, the idea of playing a forged iron is a little scary. Forged irons have always been reserved for better players who need to shape shots and never miss the center of the club face. The rest of us are far more concerned with hitting the ball straight and true. Mizuno Golf is [...]
Silent Sherpa
The golf course can be an excellent sanctuary for those in search of peace and quiet. That is until the clanking of clubs from the foursome behind you ruins everything. Well, maybe that’s our inner Judge Smails talking — but banging your sticks together while on the move still isn’t a good thing. Ogio’s new [...]
Forget Fore, Yell "Incoming!"
Cobra first introduced the Long Tom driver back in the 1970′s. At the time, its 46″ shaft may have been considered excessive, but considering that many of today’s drivers are close to, if not longer, Cobra was ahead of their time. Today’s next generation boasts a full four feet of ball smashing goodness. Yeah, you [...]
Flex your golf muscle
Bio-metrically correct footwear has taken the sports industry by storm, and golf is no exception. The best golf swings are derived from a rhythmic tempo and solid balance. While it was once thought better to have a solid platform (e.g. the shoe’s sole) from which to hit, the push toward lower profile, more grounded spikes [...]
Everything, and the kitchen sink.
When TaylorMade launched their Burner Irons they knew they had a great club. The Burner 2.0 has made TaylorMade the number one selling iron company in golf. While that was great for a large segment of the golfing world, the Burner’s supercharged speed and distance didn’t always work for those who occupy the mid-to-low handicap [...]
White Widow
With the success of the original Spider Putter, TaylorMade has brought back the Ghost Spider Putter ($180), this time with a fresh coat of paint and a new face insert. Turns out the white finish is 80% more reflective than traditional black providing a sharper image for better mental focus. That may not seem like [...]
Houston, we are a go for launch
At its core, golf is a game of mastering consistency. And while you may not put much thought into teeing up your ball, minor variations in height can have an adverse effect on your shot. The Epoch S3 Golf Tee ($8) takes the guess work totally out of the equation. Using the site’s Sweet Spot [...]
Might as well call it iPutt
Agent Smith: “Do you hear that sound Mr. Anderson? … that is the sound of inevitability”. And pictured right is also an inevitability. Merging the infinite possibilities of apps and the relenteless frustration of putting, Ping has developed the iPing App (free), and a corresponding cradle ($30). When combined the two serve as a bona [...]
BBQ to the back nine
Known more for their traditionally styled golf apparel Ashworth continues their foray into goods that look as good off the course as they play on it. The Cardiff ($120) is a spikeless golf shoe constructed with tumbled leathers and rich suede accents — perfect for going from a Sunday afternoon BBQ to the back nine. [...]
This new putter hits the bulls-eye
Considering that 40-60% of your strokes for any given round happen on the putting surface, it’s amazing people don’t spend more effort improving that facet of their game. Selecting the right flat stick is certainly a good first step. The Odyssey DART Putter ($179) (Direction and Realignment Technology) takes alignment to a new level. Try [...]
