If you're a beginner golfer, you might be asking yourself how many clubs are permitted in a golf bag, and what is each club's role?

Making clean, solid contact with the ball is crucial for accuracy, distance, and consistency. Here’s how to improve your ball-striking ability:

1. Maintain Proper Posture

• Stand with a slight knee bend and a straight back.

• Keep your weight balanced between both feet.

• Maintain a slight forward tilt at the hips for better rotation.

2. Keep Your Head Still

• Avoid excessive head movement during your swing.

With its advanced golf ball printing capabilities, TaylorMade has been full throttle on limited edition golf balls. I expect there will be something special for the Masters, but this week we’re biding our time with the release of Limited Edition TP5 pix Darts golf balls.

The new balls (available in both TP5 and TP5x) feature a darts-inspired pix pattern, including darts and a dartboard. The 501 player number is a reference to 501 – the most common game played in darts.

As with other Limited Edition TaylorMade ball offerings, the TP5 Darts comes in a themed box, which appears to include reprints of autographs from TaylorMade staffers and a Cricket scoreboard.

If the relationship between golf and darts isn’t apparent, TaylorMade is inviting you to throw darts and knock down flagsticks.

Barbecue sauce.

Tour Edge updates their Wingman line with Wingman 800 putters.The Wingman 800 models feature high MOI designs and a new milled face pattern.A VIBRCOR polymer layer behind the face softens the feel at impact.Available April 15 with a MSRP of $169 at TourEdge.com

Are you looking for a new putter but have a limited budget? Tour Edge’s new Wingman 800 series could be just what you are looking for.

Budget-conscious golfers are well aware of Tour Edge’s reputation of producing quality putters at price points that are hundreds of dollars below their competitors.

The Tour Edge Template putter line included a wide range of head styles, all priced at $129. The predecessor to this new line, the Wingman 700 line were high MOI mallets priced at $199.

For those of you who dig math, the new Wingman 800 line is priced at $30 less than the previous version.

When does that ever happen in the golf equipment world?

Golf on TV has experienced a noticeable uptick in 2025. But what's driving the growth? And is it here to stay?

We’re just over two weeks away from the Daytona 500 of golf, better known as the Masters.

(I’m not sure if anyone else calls it the Daytona 500 of golf. I do know, however, that no one calls the Daytona 500 the Masters of NASCAR.)

Anyway, the onslaught of Augusta-inspired limited-edition golf gear marches on. Some are cool and some are (pimento) cheesy but we have to tip the cap to Golf Pride. Its new Golf Pride Honorary Starter Collection is all cool with zero cheese. It’s chock-full of green and white but precious little yellow. There are just enough azaleas to make the horticulturist in you happier than a Sunday back-nine eagle.

What is the Honorary Starter Collection?

Golf Pride is dressing up its go-to grip, the Tour Velvet®, in a slick green-and-white outfit. Thankfully, Golf Pride did not go overboard with azaleas. The Honorary Starter is tastefully trimmed with white floral etching plus a single azalea on the cap and another one by the logo.

Golf Pride’s new Reverse Taper® putter grip is the other member of the Honorary Starter Collection. This one isn’t quite as understated as the Tour Velvet® with Augusta-green branding and “springtime in northeast Georgia” artwork. The original Reverse Taper has a kind of dull, antiseptic look to it. This first major-of-the-year makeover is pretty dang sweet.

Viktor Hovland is back. After a year and a half of frustration and swing tweaks that never seemed to click, he held off Justin Thomas to win the Valspar Championship by a shot. Two birdies through the Snake Pit sealed the deal and gave Hovland his first PGA Tour win since 2023.

Like all wins on Tour, there’s a formula that includes nerves, timing, mechanics and, of course, equipment. In this case, the driver in his bag stands out.

A $399 reminder that performance doesn’t always expire

A PING G425 LST, released in 2021 and currently selling for $399 in limited lofts, got the job done for Hovland.

The G425 LST (Low Spin Technology) is a better-player driver with a 445cc pear-shaped head designed to reduce spin. It features a moveable 17-gram weight for tuning ball flight and a forged T9S+ face to enhance ball speed. It’s built for control, distance and flight shaping.

In MyGolfSpy’s Most Wanted testing for mid swing speeds in 2022, the G425 LST finished best for distance and ranked near the top in Strokes Gained. It also earned high marks for shaping and overall performance. The one common complaint? The sound.

The Cleveland HiBore XL driver is my driver of choice for the 2025 season. That, dear readers, is a hill I’ll die on.

Until I choose not to. That’s my right as an adult.

As MyGolfSpy’s resident grown-up (my take) or old fart (the rest of the staff’s take), I take my share of abuse from my treasured colleagues. That abuse has been turbocharged ever since the HiBore XL, my beautiful Dorito-looking sunuvabitch, finished where it did in this year’s MyGolfSpy driver test.

“Barba, we gotta get you a real driver….”

“Dude, you must have been ‘high’ when you ‘bore’ that driver…”

A swing change requires commitment. But if you’re hesitant to commit, now might not be the right time for one. Does that mean you’re stuck at your current handicap? Not necessarily. You can adjust your game to lower your scores without overhauling your swing. Consider these eight solutions to see if they could work for you.

Dial in your carry distances

While this may seem obvious, most amateur golfers are shaky on their true carry distances with each club. Get on a launch monitor or simulator and record carry distances for every club. Make a note of each one and keep it with you when you play.

Keep your short game boring

The Phil Mickelson flop shot is fun to hit when it works. However, the golfers who have the best short game are those who use the simplest shots. The bump and runs and even putts from off the green reduce your overall risk and eliminate the blowups.

Pick a stock shot off the tee

If your reason for wanting to make a swing change is the fact that you hit a fade off the tee, start to embrace that fade. Trying to hit a fade on some holes and a draw on another is too much work and creates room for error.

Even professionals have a go-to shot they prefer (or comes naturally to them) and stick to one primary shot shape.

Golf cart customization is fun, especially since you can do a lot of it yourself. My golf cart has been my preferred way to get around for years. I won’t say I have all the latest and greatest upgrades but even small tweaks have made a big difference. If you own a golf cart and want to start making it the perfect ride for you, here are 10 ways to customize it.

Golf Cart Underglow Light Kit

Sometimes, we see a golf cart in our neighborhood and my kids say, “That’s a party cart.” A “party cart” essentially means a golf cart with an underglow light kit. Are they wrong?

The Universal Fit Golf Cart LED Light Kit has 256 lighting modes and a music sync feature. It is designed to work with a 12V-65V battery input and fits a wide range of golf carts including E-Z-GO, Club Car and Yamaha. It comes with a wireless remote.

Red Amber LED Stop/Turn/Signals Brake Light

The Upgraded Golf Cart Tailgate Light Strip adds extra visibility and style to your cart with bright running lights, sequential turn signals and brake lighting. Designed for easy installation with a clear wiring setup and IP67 waterproof rating, it’s a great way to enhance safety and make your golf cart stand out.

Universal Golf Cart Trailer Hitch

The Golf Cart Trailer Hitch with a two-inch receiver makes it easy to tow small trailers, haul gear or attach accessories to your cart. Whether moving yard equipment, bringing extra supplies to the course or adding a cargo carrier, the trailer hitch is a worthwhile customization. It’s designed to fit most Club Car, E-Z-GO and Yamaha models and installs easily so you can put your cart to work when needed.

We’re seeking three dedicated golfers to test and provide feedback on the latest TaylorMade P-790 irons. This is an opportunity to evaluate the performance claims of these renowned clubs and share your insights with the MyGolfSpy Forum community.​

About the TaylorMade P-790 irons

The P-790 irons have been a staple in the player’s distance category, known for blending distance, forgiveness and a sleek design. The latest iteration introduces several potential enhancements:

New 4340M Forged Face: This material is 20 percent stronger than previous versions, allowing for a thinner face that delivers increased ball speed. Additionally, it expands the sweet spot by 24 percent, aiming to provide more consistent performance across the face.
FLTD CG (Flighted Center of Gravity): By strategically placing up to 40 grams of tungsten, these irons are designed to offer higher-launching long irons and more controlled trajectories in the scoring clubs.
Refined aesthetics: The latest P-790 features a thinner topline and improved sole geometry for better turf interaction, enhancing the overall look and playability.

Will these changes and enhancements result in an overall package that is far and away better than the previous version?
