There is a lot of cool gear in the golf equipment world that doesn’t always fit neatly into Most Wanted Tests or Buyer’s Guides. You still want to know how it performs. In our We Tried It series, we put gear to the test and let you know if it works as advertised.

What We Tried

Cayce custom headcovers.

Hi, I’m Chris and I’m a golf-obsessed member of the MyGolfSpy team. As the Director of Business Development, I generally work as a conduit between our staff and other golf companies. I also get to opine on our fabulous weekly podcast, NoPuttsGiven (shameless plug), and, as time allows, collect my thoughts into ramblings on equipment or other golf topics.

But, like many of you, I can’t wait for the next brown box to show up on my doorstep.

Hogan Equalizer II Wedges – Key Takeaways

Hogan’s new Equalizer II wedges feature Progressive Center of Mass, slightly larger head, and thinner top line compared to the original Equalizer.Optional Texas Grind sole offers extreme heel and toe relief for open face shots and help on tight lies.Designed by legendary Hogan club builder Ronnie McGraw.

The updated Ben Hogan Equalizer II wedges round out a busy spring for Hogan. In the past month, we’ve seen a new mallet, new putter finish options and last week’s game improvement Edge EX irons.

To be sure, none of it has been earth-shatteringly revolutionary or particularly innovative. But for a company that went bankrupt a little over four years ago, the new releases are all healthy vital signs. As for the new Equalizer II wedges, they too are neither earth-shatteringly revolutionary or particularly innovative.

It is, however, a nice-looking 1025 forged wedge with enough CG and grind features to be interesting. The Equalizer II is also the final piece of Hogan’s visual rebranding, as the entire lineup now features the iconic Hogan sunburst logo. And for true Hogan aficionados, the name of the club designer – one Ronnie McGraw – is definitely appealing.

Depending on how you view your golf equipment, logos and designers may matter neither a jot nor a tittle. But depending on how you view your wedges, there may be enough to the Equalizer II to warrant your attention.

Let’s take a peak, shall we?

PING releases 11 new putters in 2021 based upon their Putting Lab Design (PLD) program.The putters feature multi-material construction and new dual-hardness, grooved inserts.MSRP of $249 (Harwood is $349).

Today we see the official release of the new PING 2021 putter line-up. If you paid close attention to the Most Wanted Blade Putter and Most Wanted Mallet Putter articles, you have had a glimpse of some of the new models. Though not even released yet, two of the new PING putters scored top-10 finishes in the mallet category and a new blade finished fourth overall. Obviously, it’s tough to keep something a secret when it performs so well.

Thankfully, we can now spill all of the beans about these new PING putters. In fact, there are quite a few beans that we need to discuss. In 2021, we see the return of the grooved insert, a continuation of the multi-material construction, a solid mix of new and old favorite head shapes. Like I said, lots of beans.

Let’s take a look at the general features of the new PING 2021 putter line and then explore some specific models.

2021 PING putters: The Return of the Insert

One of the most striking things about PING’s 2020 Heppler putter line was the complete lack of face grooves. PING wanted the Heppler line to be a firmer complement to the softer Sigma 2 putters. Since these 2021 putters will essentially be the replacement for the Sigma 2 line, it makes sense that the insert would return.

From Rory McIlroy's game to Brooks Koepka's knee to Jordan Spieth's return, the Masters told us a lot about the state of golf.

The Best Drivers for Slow Swing Speeds

Today, we reveal our test results for the best drivers for slow swing speeds. If this applies to you, you owe it to yourself—and your game—to read on.

Our mission is to understand and discover which piece of equipment best serves each  individual golfer. Our 2021 Most Wanted Driver Test featured 38 different models—34 real human testers with 34 uniquely different swing characteristics. In the end, 18,000-plus shots of data allow for a breakdown of the best drivers for three different swing speed categories: high, mid and slow.

Today, we will feature the data surrounding the best drivers for slow swing speeds (up to 90 mph). If your driver swing speed falls in this range, this article is for you.

The Best Driver for Slow Swing Speeds: Callaway Epic Speed
