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 adidas MC80, the newest golf shoe from the Brand with Three Stripes. First introduced as a part of the adidas x Bogey Boys collaboration, the MC80 golf shoe looks to become a mainstay (dare I say flagship?) model in adidas’s spikeless golf shoe lineup.
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. My neighbors are starting to get concerned about the amount of golf shoes that show up at my door.
Need to Know

First impressions are everything. The MC80 is a far departure from the prototypical adidas golf shoe. It’s traditional yet sporty. Everything about the adidas MC80 is about as far away from the Codechaos line as you can get. Instead of a polarizing, love-or-hate-it design, the MC80 is just cool.
I’m a huge fan of the classic look, something that has been missing from the adidas golf shoe lineup. Enough about how the MC80 looks. That’s far from my favorite thing (oh, the adidas MC80 gets much better).
My first rain suit made me look more like I was Gorton Fisherman’s younger sister than a golf professional on a rainy day.

Things have changed and Galvin Green is making sure that performance, fit, color and style are all parts of the best women’s golf apparel on the market. The new Galvin Green Collection for the fall has more than 30 bold styles and seven new garments.
The Details
Available Aug. 16 More than 30 styles, seven new garments Combination of sustainable and long-lasting garmentsUltra-modern styles with waterproof and GORE-TEX technologyBehind the Collection
Galvin Green wanted to create a fall line that allows women golfers to dress with ultra-modern style and class even when the temperatures start to cool. Playing golf with extra clothes on can be a bit tricky. Style and fashion are great but we don’t want to lose rotational ability or feel due to the extra clothing.
According to Product Manager Sofia Ask Klason, “we expect the new designs to be especially popular with those golfers seeking some of the most sustainable, long-lasting garments on the market without compromising on the incredible attention to detail that we take great pride in at Galvin Green.”

Hybrid golf clubs, often referred to simply as "hybrids," are a type of golf club that has become increasingly popular among golfers of all skill levels. They were introduced to the market as a hybrid between long irons (typically 2-5 irons) and fairway woods. Hybrids are designed to combine the best characteristics of both clubs to make it easier for golfers to hit the ball higher, farther, and with greater accuracy.
Here are some key features and benefits of hybrid golf clubs:
Clubhead Design: Hybrids typically have a clubhead design that combines elements of both irons and fairway woods. They have a wider sole and a lower center of gravity (CG) compared to long irons, making it easier to launch the ball into the air.
Forgiveness: Hybrids are more forgiving than long irons, which means that even if you don't hit the ball perfectly on the clubface, you're more likely to get a decent result. This makes them a great choice for golfers who struggle with consistency.
Versatility: Hybrids can be used in a variety of situations on the golf course. They are especially useful for hitting from the rough, fairway, or even out of fairway bunkers. They can also be used for chip and run shots around the green.
