Well folks, another week, another avalanche of golf gear hitting the shelves faster than your tee shot finds the adjacent fairway. Let’s dive into what’s new, what’s noteworthy and what’s making me roll my eyes while my credit card weeps in the corner.

Tech and loosely related accessories

Foresight × Vessel dropped a Premium Sling Bag designed specifically for GC Quad and Quad Max (also works with GC3). Now you can carry your $20,000 launch monitor in something that screams “I spent all my money on golf tech but still had enough for this fancy-boy bag.” It’s the golf equivalent of putting gold rims on a Ferrari – unnecessary but damn if it doesn’t make you feel special.

Arccos released their annual distance insights report, providing further evidence that the only thing average golfers need less than a rollback is a few more three-putts. “Sure, let’s make the ball go shorter!” The USGA: Proudly solving non-existent problems since 1894.

“Game-changing” footwear

True Linkswear just dropped their LUX² collection which they claim was “shaped by Tour insight, refined over years, tested, tweaked, and torn apart until perfect.” Funny, that’s exactly how I’d describe my marriage after I explained how much these shoes cost. I suppose the cost is justified because, hey, they “didn’t rush it”.

PAYNTR released their Trainer X 001 LE with a “full-grain leather upper.” Apparently, normal synthetic materials weren’t cutting it for those high-intensity wrist exercises needed to text your buddy that you’ll be late for your tee time. Finally! Cow-based technology for your half-hearted pre-round stretching routine.

You’ve heard the basics: stand shoulder-width apart, knees flexed, stay balanced. What if your swing still feels off? Golf stance width affects your rotation, balance, and contact more than most golfers realize. Sometimes, the difference between flushing it and chunking it is just a couple of inches. Here are three setup rules to help you find the right stance width for your swing.

Your stance width needs to fit you

Wouldn’t it be great if there were an exact measurement for how wide your golf stance should be? There isn’t. Since there is no one-size-fits-all stance width, you have to do some experimenting to come up with what you consider your stock stance.

A drill for this, seen in the video from Titleist below, is called the Thigh Kiss Drill.

The drill:

Start in a wide, athletic stance (like you’re playing defense in basketball).Place a golf club across your thighs.Make a mock turn toward the target.If your thighs can’t “kiss” during the turn, you’re too wide; narrow your stance slightly and start to establish your baseline.

Use the shoulder rule to build a repeatable setup

Take some of that feedback you learned in the drill above, and now work on setting up a guide for yourself to narrow down these positions. As a general rule, your stance width should change as follows:

Have you ever completed an online clubfitting tool and wondered, What is your golf shot trajectory? What is it with a driver, and what is it with an iron? Are you low, medium, or high? What exactly defines low, medium, and high trajectories? I think many of us can determine when we might be low and when we might be high, but when does low become medium and medium become high? I have done a few online fittings, and my recent experience with PING’s webfit made me want to figure this out, once and for all.

The Basics

So let’s start by defining what trajectory means:

At its most basic concept, trajectory refers to the height and flight path of the ball after impact. The distance the ball flies, the accuracy of the shot, and how the ball lands. It’s a critical element that influences distance, accuracy, and how the ball behaves when it lands. Either bombing your drive, hitting, or getting the precision shot with your iron, knowing your shot’s trajectory can take you from good to great.

What Is Golf Shot Trajectory?

Trajectory is the path the ball takes and the vertical height it reaches. The trajectory the golf ball reaches is influenced by several  factors:

Club loftLaunch angleSwing speedSpin rateAngle of attackWeather conditions (wind, temperature, humidity)

Understanding how these factors impact your trajectory will aid you in determining the right club to use.

Mackenzie Hughes of Canada shot a 2-under 69 in windy conditions Friday for a share of the second-round lead with Cristobal Del Solar of Chile in the Myrtle Beach Classic.

Nelly Korda, Somi Lee and Andrea Lee share the second-round lead in the LPGA Tour's Mizuho Americas Open.

Keith Mitchell followed a career-best round with a 3-under 67 to maintain a one-shot lead after two rounds of the Truist Championship.

Sixteen-year-old Charlie Woods, son of Tiger Woods, failed in his second attempt to qualify for the U.S. Open.

Odyssey has added two new models to their Square 2 Square line of Stroke Balanced putters, and they are going to get people talking.

As a refresher, Odyssey unveiled the first three Square 2 Square models last fall. These new Stroke Balanced putters were zero-torque versions of three classic Odyssey designs: the Jailbird, Seven, and Double Wide.

In addition to being Stroke Balanced, the new S2S Max 1 and Max Stripe models incorporate other proprietary Odyssey putter technologies such as the Ai-One insert and Stroke Lab shaft. Those assistive technologies are value-adding inclusions, and give these new models a distinctive Odyssey feel.

In fact, nearly all aspects of the S2S Max 1 and Max Stripe are characteristically Odyssey.

All except one.

Hey, who doesn’t love a good surprise? 

I’m a lucky guy because it’s my job to hit golf clubs. Every year, we know the big OEMs are going to deliver quality stuff because, well, they’re good at what they do. We’re rarely disappointed.

The surprises usually come from the fringes. I may only be a sample of one, but of all the irons I’ve tried this year, the new forged sticks from Maxfli are the surprise club of 2025.

We first saw these new Maxfli irons back in March. We’ve since had the opportunity to learn how and why DICK’S went about creating them, and to get them on the course for some real world experience. After a few rounds, maybe they shouldn’t be that much of a surprise.

Forged goodness from the folks at DICK’S

Maxfli has been a DICK’s Sporting Goods store brand since 2008, but its history goes back at least a century to England and The Dunlop Rubber Company. In the late 19th century, Dunlop was a leading tire manufacturer and, like so many tire manufacturers have over the years, it branched into golf and tennis.
