Every so often while I’m mindlessly scrolling on social media, I see something that stops me dead in my tracks.
You can already guess why this one caught my eye.
I’m a sucker for cool shoes. Especially shoes that are unique. The new Greyson x Merrell Agility Peak 5 Zero definitely fits the bill.
I know what you’re thinking: Is it a trail shoe or a golf shoe?
It’s both. It’s probably the perfect shoe for slicers … you’re going to need something that can handle the woods!
Golf is touted as a sport with long-term health benefits. With the ability to play from a young age all the way into your golden years, it is a fantastic activity for promoting physical wellness. Another important aspect I feel the need to shed light on is the mental health benefits the game of golf can bring.
We are seeing professional athletes today becoming much more transparent on their struggles with mental health. As someone who has had their own struggles, I think this is a great thing because it helps to lessen the stigma surrounding these issues. While golf can certainly be a mentally challenging sport, the stimulation it provides can help to counter the difficulties that come with mental health problems. This article will look at different ways golf can help to benefit mental health.
In a study by Harvard Medical School and the University of Queensland, it was hypothesized that one of every two people worldwide will develop a mental disorder at some point. Performed across 29 countries and including 150,000 adults from varying backgrounds, it is a stark reminder that anyone can suffer from one form of mental illness or another at any time. Utilizing as many resources as possible to combat and prevent mental illness, including golf, are incredibly important.
Golf provides an opportunity to improve and maintain our mental health in a variety of different ways from regular social interaction to being outdoors, getting physical activity and beyond. Let’s take a look at how these areas can help to keep our mental wellness in a good place.
While I am known to enjoy the occasional solo round, golf is a game best played with friends and family. Many studies have shown a positive correlation between social interaction and mental health. The emotional support we receive by maintaining social connections helps to reduce the effects of daily stress and can help to foster a sense of meaning and purpose in life. From the range to the course to the 19th hole, golf gives us a chance to talk to someone whether it be about the highs or lows of life or simply the round we are having and provides an outlet for support.

Sub 70 is no stranger to MyGolfSpy Forum testing. We have featured several of their products in testing opportunities over the years. This time around, it’s their new Pro V2 fairway woods.
This new fairway wood from Sub 70 is packed with technology. It features their Dual Face Technology, which has two separate faces filled with a TPE resin in between. The forward face has variable face thickness to help increase ball speeds across the face and increase distance for golfers.
The Pro V2 also features a dual-weight system for ball flight, swing weight and MOI adjustability, as well as a carbon fiber crown. Standard weights feature a two-gram front weight and a nine-gram rear weight, with extra weight options available.
As there is no adjustable sleeve on the Pro V2, it is offered in three lofts from 15 to 21 degrees (3-wood to 7-wood).
Sub 70 claims the Pro V2 is the ultimate in power and workability—which is where you come in.
