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:

Rhoback Golf Apparel. Your dad’s favorite apparel brand and your mom’s favorite golf influencer’s favorite apparel brand. I put three popular Rhoback items to the test including a Rhoback polo, quarter-zip and hoodie. 

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. 

What the heck is Rhoback?

That cute little dog logo you’ve seen on the shoulder of influencers and golfers galore? That’s Rhoback. Based in Charlottesville, Va., (a few hours up the road from MyGolfSpy HQ), the guys there set out to create apparel that can seamlessly transition from activity to activity. 

I’ve been wanting to give their stuff a try for a while. That time has come.

Making sure your golf grips properly fit your hands is vital. If you are wearing a size XL or, in some cases, even a large golf glove, you may need a jumbo golf grip. Let’s take a look at five options and the potential benefits of switching to a jumbo golf grip if you do, in fact, need it. 

Who should use a jumbo golf grip? 

In general, jumbo/oversized grips are for golfers with large hands. If your fingers wrap around the grip too much and dig into your palm, chances are you need a larger grip. 

As well, jumbo/oversized grips may help golfers with arthritis who experience pain when gripping the club. 

If you want to use an online fitting chart to determine the exact size grip you need there are a few options to choose from: 

How do oversized golf grips help? 

Some players say they can swing faster with lighter grip pressure with a jumbo grip as they feel they have a more secure grip with less fear of the club slipping through impact. 

The Problem

Not all bags have convenient spots to clip golf gear or towels. Even when bags do have specific locations for accessories, they can be covered or made less accessible when put onto a push or power cart. Is there a product that would be easy to use and customizable to alleviate these potential issues?

The Solution

Introducing the Magnetic Golf Bag Clip, a small metal clip-on plate which can be placed on your bag to conveniently hold your magnetic towel or rangefinder.

I am a recent convert to using a golf rangefinder. Unfortunately, I have yet to find a convenient place to put it for easy access on both my stand and cart bag. The case it came with was nice but, given the zipper and my fear of losing it, I often place it in a bag pocket or cart mesh where it gets bumped around and is not conveniently accessible.

I play a lot and use both bags, depending on course and weather, so I need something which is transferable. Enter the Metal Golf Bag Clip. This broke the bank for all of $8 and has been a game-changer.

Searching through Amazon, I came across this simple product and thought, “What the hell? Why not give it a try? If it doesn’t work, maybe I can use it for something else. If it does then all the better!”
