Hitting a slice is one of the most frustrating ailments in golf. Here are three ways you can rid yourself of the nasty shot.

Bryson DeChambeau made headlines for winning the U.S. Open. Part of the story was his latest foray into what, by mainstream standards, qualifies as unusual, perhaps even oddball, equipment choices.

The one-sentence summary? Bryson is playing 3D-printed irons with faces that have bulge baked in.

That last part of the design is uniquely Bryson but it may be enough to make you wonder if you need bulge on your irons.

What are Bulge and Roll?

Before we get to that, let’s take a step back and explain what bulge and roll are and what they do.

Integral to metalwood design, bulge and roll are present on every driver, fairway wood and hybrid face. There’s an element of semantics at play here because both are just more specific ways of saying curvature.

If you play a matte golf ball, I suggest putting it into retirement. Now while they might look cool, I can tell you right now that after testing, they actually cut your spin almost in half.

Moisture’s present on damn near every golf shot that we hit. And with a reduction in friction from that moisture, it’s pretty much game over for you.

There’s a reason we don’t see them on tour.

We’ve done extensive testing on matte golf balls and can conclude that they are hurting, not helping your game.

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:

The Duca Del Cosma Davinci golf shoes. Premium spikeless golf shoes that aim to blend fashion and function.

Who Tried It:

Connor. Director of Content and resident sneakerhead. I’m a sucker for leather. Yes, I’m a bit of a snob. And, no, leather isn’t always better. There’s just something about the smell of a brand-new pair of leather shoes that speaks to me. Bottle it up and sell it at Bath and Body Works, please!

Premium Versus Performance

Duca Del Cosma is known for taking classic golf silhouettes and upgrading them with premium leathers. The Davinci is no different. This blucher-style shoe features a full Italian leather upper atop a rubber spikeless outsole.

While I tend to prefer premium shoes for my personal use, I’ve often had trouble finding a premium pair that matches the performance of the typical synthetic stuff.

Famous holes-in-one have occurred throughout golf history, often during high-profile tournaments or by notable players. Here are some memorable ones:

1. Tiger Woods (1997 Phoenix Open)

Tiger Woods' hole-in-one on the 16th hole at the Phoenix Open is one of the most famous in golf history. The 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale is known for its rowdy crowds, and Woods' ace caused an eruption of excitement from the spectators.

2. Gene Sarazen (1935 Masters)

Gene Sarazen's double eagle, often referred to as "the shot heard 'round the world," was technically not a hole-in-one but a double eagle (albatross). However, it's one of the most famous shots in golf history. Sarazen holed his 4-wood from 235 yards on the par-5 15th hole, helping him win the tournament.

3. Tom Watson (1980 British Open)

Tom Watson's hole-in-one on the 6th hole at Muirfield during the third round of the 1980 British Open is another iconic moment. Watson went on to win the tournament, securing his third Open Championship.

4. Rory McIlroy (2015 Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship)

Rory McIlroy made a memorable hole-in-one on the 15th hole during the second round of the 2015 Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship. It was McIlroy's first hole-in-one as a professional golfer.

Ewen Ferguson won the BMW International Open for his third European tour title -- and clinched a spot in The Open taking place in his native Scotland this month.
