Let’s talk about limited-edition golf gear. You know the stuff. Major-themed releases, co-branded headcovers, high-end wedges with a fancy new finish, a driver that costs more just because it’s got a special logo or paint job. Every year, brands roll out these exclusive drops and, every year, golfers line up or rush to websites to get them.

But here’s the question: Is it all worth it? Are these rare releases something special or are we just getting played by marketing hype? Let’s break it down like a group of golfers kicking back after a round, debating the latest gear.

The appeal: It’s cool, it’s exclusive and often looks fantastic.

There’s something about owning a piece of gear that not everyone has. Whether it’s a Masters-inspired bag, a special-edition Scotty Cameron or a custom F1 collab driver, these drops bring a level of exclusivity that feels different. And let’s be honest, they usually look awesome. Having a rare club or a one-of-a-kind cover in the bag? That’s a conversation starter.

For some golfers, it’s not just about performance but rather about collecting something unique. Maybe it’s a putter that celebrates a major win or a wedge stamped with a design that’s never coming back. If you’re into golf history or just like cool gear, it’s easy to see the appeal. But is that feeling of exclusivity worth the price tag?

The skepticism: Paying extra for what exactly?

Then there’s the other side of this debate for the golfers who look at these drops and say, “Really? It’s the same club with a new paint job.” Let’s be real. Most limited-edition clubs aren’t actually different in performance. That driver with the special finish? It’s the same head as the stock model. That putter with the cool engraving? It rolls the same as the one at your local shop.

Golf Pride's new Align Max grips double down on the company's reminder ridge technology by making it 25 percent higher.

The post Golf Pride’s new Align Max grips accentuate this popular feature appeared first on Golf.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from years of covering golf equipment, it’s that grips might be the most overlooked piece of performance equipment. We frequently mention that the ball is the only piece of equipment you use on every shot but the grip is literally the only point of contact between you and your club on every swing (in this story, putts count as swings). Despite that reality, most golfers treat grips with all the consideration of a subway handrail.

Golf Pride wants to change that mindset with its new ALIGN Max grips. The case is compelling.

The evolution of reminder grips

For those unfamiliar with golf’s grip history (I’m guessing that’s 99 percent of us), reminder grips were once the standard. We’re talking 90 percent of all grips in the ’50s and ’60s. But as mass production took hold, round grips became the norm – almost entirely because they were easier to manufacture and install.

Fast forward to today where 25 to 30 percent of PGA Tour players use reminder grips but the average golfer largely ignores them.

Said another way, Golf Pride believes ALIGN is barely scratching the surface of its potential.

I have the distinct feeling many Philadelphia Eagles fans are still celebrating their team’s Super Bowl win. Odds are that there are a few revelers on Bourbon Street who have been awake since Sunday night chanting “Fly, Eagles, Fly” with increasingly raspy voices.

Those of you who have decided to keep the victory celebration going all the way through Mardi Gras have my blessing and my admiration. Just make sure you are back home in time for the victory parade.

Anyway, Bettinardi would like to help you keep the victory celebration going with a putter that commemorates the Eagles’ Super Bowl victory. This way, you can celebrate the 40-22 trouncing of the Chiefs every time you reach for your putter.

A Queen B fit for a champion

The Super Bowl LIX Championship putter is a spud-neck Queen B milled from 303 stainless steel. While those are important features, Eagles fans will be more impressed with the plethora of Philadelphia Eagles branding.

Eagles colors are all over the putter including the triple sight lines. The face is a special Eagles-inspired double-milled FIT Face. Bettinardi first milled the face with their famous micro-honeycomb pattern, then milled it again with “Eagles” all across the face.

While I would love to have a simulator at home, that’s not the case and I know I’m not the only one. When I want to practice golf indoors on a cold or rainy day, I keep things simple. Here are five drills that don’t require anything fancy like a simulator or a launch monitor.

The pause chipping drill

Chipping at home is one of my favorite ways to practice. Purchase golf balls like the Almost Golf Balls that won’t damage anything inside your home. Even if you have a small space to work with, a little half swing is a great way to work on your consistency and strike. This drill works well to help that transition from backswing to downswing.

How to Do It:

Set up an alignment stick along your target line.Swing so the club is at first parallel, about waist high, and pause for three seconds before starting the downswing.Focus on feeling the arms and body working together without one rushing the other.It’s more of a tempo drill than anything else and it’s a great way to gain some confidence around the green.

The chair drill: Stop swaying in your backswing

I use this drill on the driving range with an alignment stick. It helps you become more aware of your turn and reduce your backswing sway.

When indoors, you can do it with a chair in place. You don’t even have to use a club for this drill but if you have the room to swing with a club, go for it.

How to Do It:

Place a chair next to your trail leg.Make your normal backswing and stop at the top to check:Did your hip move into the chair? (Too much sway)Did your hip stay inside while rotating? (Correct motion)

The towel putting drill

Putting is the easiest thing to practice at home. One of the complaints I hear from amateur players is that the carpet speed or putting mat speeds never feel the same as the course.
