H4: ShotScope shot tracking for the non-watch wearerProLX+ combines H4 with an updated laser rangefinderH4: $149.99; ProLX+: $349.99; ProLX (rangefinder only): $249.99Available March 31

The new-for-2022 ShotScope H4 and ProLX+ should be music to the ears of non-watch-wearing golfers everywhere.

Ever since appearing on the scene in 2017, ShotScope’s wrist-mounted devices have been the choice of stat-tracking golfers who didn’t want to lug their phones with them. But it had no answer for golfers who hate wearing watches.

Other than to say, “Here’s ARCCOS’s number.”

The new H4 unit and the unique combo that is the ProLX+ laser rangefinder aren’t groundbreaking technology. But for the Scotland-based ShotScope, both products represent creative ways to get into, or onto, more golfers’ bags.

A new year of golf is upon us, does that mean it’s time for a new ball? We know that golfers regardless of level can benefit from playing a single type of ball every round, but what ball will be best? While there can’t be one ball that will be best for every golfer, we can at least use data to give a decent start. Through countless hours of testing and shots, the balls on this list deserve your consideration.

1. Titleist Pro V1

The Key Point: If you want quality, consistency, and performance ball after ball, the Pro V1 remains a no brainer.

This shouldn’t surprise anybody. For two decades, the conversation around the best premium ball to use has always begun with the Titleist Pro V1 and this list will be no different. Both in the Ball Lab and robot ball testing, the Pro V1 is the model of consistency and performance, taking top marks in both settings. The ball’s profile meets the widest variety of golfers of the Titleist lineup and rarely would ever be a bad choice. The Titleist Pro V1 comes at a price premium, but for many the value is still there for the level of trust it provides. It remains one of the best golf balls you can buy.

Every year, adidas is in the running for the top five of our Most Wanted Shoe Tests. One shoe, in particular, has always been a solid performer: the TOUR360.

But why? For the most part, little has changed visually over the years. But what you get with the TOUR360 is much more than what you see.

When Boost Technology, previously found only in their running shoes, was introduced in the TOUR360 golf shoes was a monumental breakthrough for adidas Golf.

I’ve tried every TOUR360 model even before coming to work for MyGolfSpy. Even before the introduction of Boost Technology, the sexiness of the TOUR360 had me hooked.

I know what you’re asking. What’s the difference from last year’s model? We will get to that later. But I agree with you. It looks the same as last year—just a different color combo.
