Testers Wanted: CaddyDaddy Claw Gloves

For many golfers, a golf glove is an afterthought. A quick try-on in a shop and they are set for the season. For others, it is a critical piece of equipment that gets swapped out every few rounds. Regardless of which golfer you are, the golf glove plays an important role in control, feel and performance on the golf course.

About CaddyDaddy

Known for their travel bags, CaddyDaddy offers more than just a way to transport your golf clubs and gear. They also offer a line of golf gloves that claim superior grip, performance and durability.

With four models in the Claw lineup, CaddyDaddy has options that should fit any golfer. What separates the Claw gloves from traditional gloves is the material used and the durability claims. The Claw gloves are not made of leather but of suede and mesh. They claim to be machine washable and last up to, and even past, 25 rounds depending on the model. That is a lot of golf for a single golf glove.

Another distinguishing feature is the silicone grip. Rather than a flat palm, the Claw gloves include silicone striping that adds to the grip as well as the durability of the gloves.

The final differentiator is that they claim to hold their shape longer. Traditional leather gloves stretch and wear, which can lead to a tight fit at first, but they tend to stretch over time. The Claw grips claim to hold their shape and fit for longer and are more breathable due to the mesh.

AI Is Hurting, Not Helping Your Game

There’s no denying the buzzword that is AI (artificial intelligence). Both inside and outside of golf, AI has taken over meeting rooms, research labs, even our smartphones.

It’s not lost on me the impact that AI is having, specifically on golf clubs. I’m a big fan of the Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Driver and there are plenty of other clubs this year whose tech stories center around artificial intelligence.

In that sense, AI can be helpful. I’m hitting better drives than ever with my new Callaway driver. That said, AI has started to creep into our search engines, namely Google. This new feature from Google is doing more to hurt your golf game than help it.

In a world where it’s already hard to trust the information that’s so readily available to us, Google’s new AI search feature is making it harder to find the truth.

Let me explain.

We Tried This Absurdly Stable FootJoy Golf Shoe

What We Tried:

FootJoy Tour Alpha Carbon Triple BOA is FootJoy’s absurdly stable modern Tour shoe with Carbitex OmniFlex carbon fiber and a triple BOA Fit system.

Your Tour Alpha Triple BOA Tester

Tony Covey. MyGolfSpy’s resident BOA advocate. Shoelaces were invented 5,500+ years ago. I think we can do better, people. Laces are for suckers.

About the FootJoy Tour Alpha Carbon Triple BOA

It’s not a stretch to describe the Tour Alpha Carbon Triple BOA as the most technologically advanced shoe in the FootJoy lineup. While it’s not billed as such, what we’re talking about is a killer collab: FootJoy x Carbitex x BOA.

It kinda feels like all we’re missing is a Malbon logo.

With that, you get a robust assortment of FootJoy tech, including:

We Tried It: The Stewart Nero Cart Bag

What We Tried:

The Stewart Nero cart bag, a golf bag designed for use with the company’s remote carts like the Q Follow and VERTX Remote.

Who Tried It:

John Kennedy, who does not own one of those fancy remote carts and did his best with what he does have (arms).

Quick Facts

Price: $299Material: Synthetic leatherWeight: 7.5 pounds Dividers: 14Pockets: 9 to 12, depending on what you consider a pocket

Brief Overview

Stewart’s Nero cart bag will likely be more appealing if you already have—or are planning to buy—one of Stewart’s remote carts. Their overall aesthetics complement each other and the company’s product page suggests they are a “perfect” match.

If you don’t have one, you’ll have to decide how it matches up with the best cart bags currently available. Compared to the ones on our list, it’s in the middle of the pack for price and weight.

What I Liked

Materials and Construction

The Nero bag’s exterior is primarily all-black “tour-grade” synthetic leather. You, like me, are probably familiar with the implication that this means it’s the same kind of stuff a pro would use on the PGA Tour. But it turns out there’s no standard definition for the term and the actual quality of “tour-grade” material can vary widely across brands.
