Golf stores and pro shops generally all share the same brands including Nike, Puma, Adidas, Footjoy and Under Armour. These are all terrific brands, but I’m always looking for premium golf apparel that is high quality, unique and a step-above. I stumbled upon the VUGA brand and decided to try a polo shirt and a pair of golf pants to see how they compare with a few of the better known brands in my wardrobe. Specifically, I went with the…
As long as I’ve been a golfer, my preferred go-to golf glove brand has been FootJoy. I’ve tried others over the years, but I’ve always gone back to FootJoy because I preferred their glove’s fit and feel. I’m always searching for those newest, latest and greatest golf products . . . which is how I came across the Mokom brand of golf gloves. Mokom makes gloves for Golf, Football, Baseball and Tennis. I found their golf gloves to be the…
The weakest part of my golf game is putting. I find it quite difficult to read the breaks in the greens, especially on putts going sideways or up and down hills. I’ve tried numerous things and there are some very good products like Sure Putt (which I’ve reviewed) which help, but I wanted to know all the breaks similar to what the Tour Pro’s know. They get these awesome green books at each event which shows all the breaks from…
I’ve reviewed several golf tees over the past year. Although some of the tees were very good, they were all capable of doing just a single function – tee up a golf ball. The Zoom Golf Tee does several useful things in addition to teeing up your golf ball at the same height each time. The Zoom Golf Tee has a head that allows for your ball to sit perfectly, aligning with the sweet spot of your golf club. The…
When playing in the morning, the dew on the greens and the fairways gets your grips wet. Wet grips can make swinging the golf club or putter very uncomfortable because you just can’t get that feeling of control. I typically use either a towel, or a product called Grip Dry (reviewed last year), to keep my golf club grips dry when playing in the morning, or when the grass is wet Recently, I discovered a new product that’s easier to…
While at the PGA show, I tested a very unique putter grip from a company called Forward Golf. . After 5 or 6 dead-straight practice putts at the show, I decided that I had to try Forward Golf’s grip on my own putter to see for myself if their grip performed in a real environment. I ordered their Mid-size putter grip from Forward Golf and it arrived on time and as promised. Forward Golf offers grips in several sizes. Their…
As we all know, there are countless of divot tools available in the market . . . and I’ve reviewed a few. Most are simple, plastic and get the job done. Some divot tools also have a ball marker attached, which I find to be convenient as I feel that anything that reduces the number of ‘things’ in my pocket is a plus! Birdicorn’s all-in-one divot tool is far from ordinary as it also functions as a ball marker holder,…
At the PGA show, I came across a company called Stance Check, who has developed specialty glasses that helps the golfer better coordinate their connection between eye movement and a full club swing. I was intrigued as I had previously only heard talk of eye-position influencing putting . . . never full shots. Stance Check glasses look very similar to traditional sunglasses, except the Stance Check glasses include a special plastic cover that shields your non-dominant eye. Nothing actually makes…
There are an infinite number of ways to putt the golf ball, and there are hundreds of putters available in the marketplace. Yet all these putters have one thing in common – their steel shafts are virtually identical. During my quest for a “better putter”, I’ve gone through more than a dozen putters over the last 10 years, all in a failed search find a putter that will really improve my performance. After a lot of research, I may have…
After noticing that Justin Rose was playing with a uniquely styled flat, green colored putter grip at a recent PGA tour event, I did my research and found that Justin’s grip was made by the Flat Cat Golf Company. Flat Cat’s grips are USGA approved, are offered in 5 assorted colors with more colors on their way soon. Realizing that all Flat Cat grips have flat sides, I decided to order their “Slim”, “Svelte”, “Pistol”, and their new ”Solution” grip.…
