In my opinion, golf balls with urethane covers tend to perform best when used with short shots and play around the green. My only issue with urethane covered balls is that they are very expensive. From Titleist Pro-V1, to Callaway Chrome Soft, to high-end Bridgestone golf balls, they all perform well, yet are very costly. Trust Golf Balls is a company that’s been producing golf ball cover technologies for over 25 years to nearly all of the world’s top ball…
I’m always in search of the next great golf glove. A few common big-brand names dominate the retail shelves and pro shops . . . do these brands really represent the best gloves that are available? I’ve previously reviewed a number of glove brands that aren’t well known and have found all of them to offer a superior fit, function and value than the big brands. Maintaining this blog’s fine tradition of reviewing new and innovative products, I now am…
Everyone wants to hit the golf ball farther. I’ve never been a long-hitter, yet I’ve always felt that I have the ability to do so. I’ve tried many golf training aids that have made big promises to increase my game’s distance, none have made an impact. Having the ability to turn more around your body more I always believed was the key to more distance, yet no training aids I’ve seen have helped with that until now! I’ve always believed…
If you like to stand out from all the others on the golf course, then you should consider customizing your club shafts. Shaft Wraps are exactly as the name implies – a special wrap that sticks to your club shaft. The company, Shaft Wraps, manufacturers wraps with nearly countless options to choose from . . . solid colors, national pride, aggressive and pastels (the ladies may like). Simply put, Shaft Wraps are an easy way to show off your individual…
Transferring your weight, at just the right moment during your golf swing, is extremely important. Doing this move correctly leads to better ball strikes, which ultimately allows for more powerful contact with the ball and lower scores. And yet, I’ve not found a simple training aid that helps with weight transfer until now. The Pin High Pro Swing Aid helps establish the muscle memory required to consistently and repeatedly complete the swing sequence. Properly transferring your swing weight is key…
I’ve been tinkering with my golf swing and wanted to watch myself on video to get a visual on my swing mechanics. I tried a product called the Qlippy, which holds your phone in place, allowing you to take videos of your swing while on the golf course or on the range. The Qlippy is one of the most affordable and flexible golf video tools on the market. The Qlippy’s 2 rotating arm sections and a ball joint allows for…
When on the links, carrying a divot tool in your pocket is a required accessory. The Exact Golf Tool is much more than a basic divot tool – it’s actually a 5-in-1 multi-function tool that includes a golf club groove cleaner, a ball marker, a cigar holder and a golf grip holder (keeps grips dry). I found the Exact Golf Tool to be just the right size – not so large that it’s difficult to carry in my pocket and…
I’m probably one of just a few people who enjoy practicing putting. I can always be found at the practice green at least 30 minutes prior to golfing – some days I go to the club to just practice my putting. With this said, I also change putters every few years, and sometimes I change during the same year. I’m always looking for that magic putter, yet I know it’s not the ‘sword’; it’s the ‘swordsman’. I’ve previously reviewed several putter…
We’ve all had those golf “situations” – really unique lies and we’re just not sure what to do. Well, the Quick Caddie has the answers, and conveniently attaches to your golf bag for quick-access. From how to handle a ball lie above your feet to a plugged ball in the bunker, or hitting out of a deep rough, the Quick Caddie will give you the necessary “tip” to get you out of your bind. Simply rotate the easy to use…
There are hundreds of golf tees to choose from and I think that I’ve tried almost all of them. I find that using the same tee for multiple rounds is a huge plus, and a tee that places your ball at a consistent height each and every time is also a huge plus. The Bugle Tee is the topic of this review. In addition to the features that I’ve mentioned above, perhaps the best feature available on the Bugle Tee is…
