Testers Wanted: Arias Golf Canada TB-30 Chipper

About Arias Golf Canada

Founded in 2015 by J.R. Robert, it took Arias Golf Canada two years to perfect their first model for the public. What sets Arias Golf Canada apart? They are a small, family-run business based in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. However, their irons, wedges, or chipper, all with zero offset and sometimes a bit of onset, truly differentiate them.

Robert and Arias believe many golfers struggle adjusting from drivers and woods, which have some onset, to irons with varying degrees of offset.

What is Offset and Onset?

Offset is the distance between the leading edge of the face of an iron or wedge and the front part of the hosel pointing to the target at address. It means the leading edge sits behind the hosel.

Onset is the opposite. The leading edge is ahead of the front part of the hosel.

Arias says one thing is clear: “For all golfers who dislike the look of offset on their irons and wedges, offset is a useless, annoying feature that should never be there.”

How to - Longer Drive

Hitting a longer drive in golf involves a combination of technique, body mechanics, and practice. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you achieve this:

  1. Select the Right Equipment:

    • Use a driver that suits your swing style. The shaft flex, loft, and clubhead size can all impact your driving distance. Get fitted by a professional if possible.
  2. Set Up Properly:

    • Stand with your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart for stability.
    • Grip the club comfortably — not too tight.
    • Position the ball inside the front heel. This encourages an upward strike, which is key for distance.
    • Tilt your spine slightly away from the target. Your head should be behind the ball.
  3. Aim and Alignment:

    • Align your body (feet, hips, shoulders) parallel to your target line.
    • Aim the clubface directly at the target.
  4. Backswing:

Lululemon Just Signed Its First Tour Pro: Here’s What He’ll Be Wearing

The start of the new year also signals a changing of the guard on the sponsorship front. Perhaps overshadowed by the news of Tiger Woods leaving NIKE and Jason Day signing with Malbon is this: lululemon just signed Min Woo Lee, a budding golfer from Australia, to an apparel deal.

“I’m excited to partner with lululemon to bring my sense of fun and freshness to the game and lead the way for a new generation of golfers,” said Min Woo. “The quality of lululemon’s golf collection speaks for itself – it’s smart, clean, and stylish, which is exactly how I want to feel on the course.” 

Min Woo is Lululemon’s first PGA Tour player, but not their first professional athlete. Current athletes in the Canadian athleisure giant’s stable include fellow golfer Lydia Ko, NBA Star Jordan Clarkson and Seattle Seahawks wideout DK Metcalf.

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock for the last decade, you’re familiar with lululemon. The brand’s cult-like following and penchant for buttery-soft fabrics has them poised for a big 2024.

Now, with Min Woo on staff, perhaps lululemon can gain some market share on the links from competitors like Greyson, Ralph Lauren and more.
