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:
Melin hats. Melin is known for premium performance hats so I had to find out if they’re worth the hype. How good can a hat really be? I did my darndest to find out
Who Tried It:
Connor. Director of Soft Goods Testing and resident sneakerhead. I believe golf is better with a pair of cool shoes and comfortable joggers. I’m a firm believer that a good hat can counteract a bad swing (not really—I just tell my wife this so that she’ll buy me new hats).
A Melin for your Melon
What’s so special about Melin’s hats and why the heck do they cost twice as much as your everyday golf hat? I took upon myself the burden of finding out. Yes, I risked it all to try these hats for you (with a little help from other employees around the office). One man can only wear one hat at a time, after all.
So what makes Melin so special? Technology. Despite what we simpletons think, hats can be chock-full of technology. Melin hats are designed to be water-resistant, sweat-resistant, anti-microbial and they float. Science rules!
If you're looking for more yards off the tee, you must focus on hitting up on the ball, says GOLF Top 100 Teacher Jonathan Yarwood.

Perrine Delacour overcame morning rain to fire a bogey-free 63 for a one-shot lead in the Portland Classic.
As we age, our flexibility and strength deteriorate as well as the distance of our drives. I was surprised when I saw the following chart displaying Driving Distance by age and by handicap. This data was accumulated by all users of the Arccos Golf Caddie Smart Sensors so it must be the average for all of the hits and mishits for every male player as the numbers seem low.
According to the chart below, low handicap players in the age range of 70 to 79 have an average drive of about 215 yards and a mid-range handicap player is averaging about 180 yard drives.
Male driving distance based on age and handicap. Face it: As you age your driving distance drops off. Move UP!
Every golfer that I play with, admit that they are losing distance with every club as they age. Unfortunately, most of the aging golfers hate to consider moving up the a forward tee. To compensate for their shorter hits they tend to swing faster and mess-up more shots.
Best Tips for Aging Golfers to Lower Their Handicaps
1/ Move up to the tees where you successfully reach the green in 2 shots on par 4 holes.
2/ Don’t swing harder, swing smarter. Tee up your drives so that half of your ball is above your club head when it’s resting on the ground. If you aren’t getting good altitude with your drives, slope your shoulders back in your setup. Setup with your ball forward and power your driver up as your club arcs upward.

The new Mizuno T24 wedges pull off a pretty neat trick. They represent the same answer to two completely opposite questions.
The answer to both questions is simple, yet cryptic: “Well, cowboy, the new Mizuno T24 wedges aren’t going to change your mind.”
But the two questions are diametrically opposed. The first question asks, “Do you never think of Mizuno when it comes to wedges?”
The answer? “Well, cowboy, the new Mizuno T24 wedges aren’t going to change your mind.”
On the other end of the spectrum, the question, “Are you one of the enlightened few who has gamed – and liked – Mizuno wedges?” can be answered with the exact same sentence.
