I have been thinking about how to have less stress while golfing, so I started looking at CBD, which I have been hearing a lot about. CBD does not get you “high” but helps with anxiety and other focus type of issues. I decided to try a CBD which contains NO THC at all from a company called ViB. Instead of trying to explain CBD, I thought it best to include what the company says about their CBD gum here,…
Playing in the cold fall and winter months is definitely not ideal, but sometimes you just got to play golf regardless of temperature. When temperatures get below 50, it’s cold and add in the wind and it’s time to layer up. I was playing golf one day and it was in the 40’s and I was pretty cold, so when I got home I starting doing some research as to what could help make the round a little bit better.…
I’ve been playing with Callaway PM grind wedges for about 3 years, since I saw Phil using them on tour, and I must say I play really well with them. However, I’m always searching for something that works better, whether it’s easier bunker shots, getting the golf ball to check up quicker, or less chunks and skulls. I noticed a really unique looking golf wedge on Instagram and had to give it a try, as it truly looks like no…
I got fitted about 2 years ago for a driver at high end fitting company. It was a very cool experience and I was there for about 1.5 hours trying numerous drivers and shaft combinations. I hit over 100 shots and after everything was said and done, the fitter told me I need to upgrade to a higher end shaft which would improve my dispersion. I ordered a new Callaway driver with an Accra shaft. I had never heard of…
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…
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…
Today’s golfer keeps his/her Smartphone with them while on the course and finding easy-access ways to view incoming text messages and emails is a hassle. I golf with my phone in my cart’s small compartment, and when I hear that I have an incoming message, it’s a scramble to get to my phone. The Click Caddie allows you to keep golfing without ever missing a call, text, or email. By using the Click Caddie’s very strong magnet or its silicone…
I’ve played with virtually all the major putter brands – from Scotty Cameron to Ping and Odyssey to TaylorMade. I continue to search for a putter that has what I consider to be the perfect balance of feel, weight and roll. For the past 10 years, I’ve chosen to use mallet-style putters and typically add 1 or 2 to my arsenal annually. When I came across a premium direct-to-consumer putter at a very reasonable price (around $100), I had to try…
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…
