At MyGolfSpy, we see and test a ridiculous amount of golf gear. It’s easy for things to get lost in the shuffle—hell, most of them do. We try damn near everything, but remember… really remember… almost nothing. But every once in a while, a club sticks. Not necessarily a Most Wanted winner. Maybe not even a top performer. Just a club that, despite the churn-and-burn life of a gear junkie, stays in the workbench drawer because you never know.

Even as technology has advanced—sometimes by more than a decade—these are the ones I’ve kept around (four of the five, anyway). And deep down, despite knowing better, a little part of me still believes that maybe, just maybe, I’ll put one of them back in the bag some day.

Before we get started …

This is my list. If you asked anyone else at MyGolfSpy (and maybe we should), their list of the most iconic drivers of the MyGolfSpy Era would probably look different. Frankly, my brain short-circuits at the thought of what my colleague John Barba might include (something absurd, no doubt).

With that out of the way, let’s get to it.

Adams 9064 LS

It’s hard to believe it’s been almost 15 years since we tested the Adams 9064 LS and, honestly, it’s probably the first driver I ever truly fell for at MyGolfSpy. If I wanted to make a case for it being ahead of its time as a low-spin, aerodynamic design, I absolutely could. Whether that’s true or just me being nostalgic, I don’t really care.

Spiked golf shoes are notably more expensive than spikeless but with that added cost come assorted benefits such as extra stability and traction. In our 2025 testing of 20 spiked models, most were priced at $180 or more. However, a few standout options deliver strong performance without breaking the bank. Here are the best affordable spiked golf shoes worth considering.

Skechers Go Golf Elite Vortex Rival

The Skechers Go Golf Elite Vortex Rival is the best option if you are looking for an affordable spiked golf shoe in 2025. While you might assume a shoe like this wins our “Best Value” category, it actually wins “Most Comfortable” because of the midsole and arch support.

Any time you look at affordable golf shoes, there will be a trade-off. With the Skechers Go Golf Elite Vortex, that tradeoff is traction. While the traction is not terrible, it was the least impressive performance attribute of the Elite Vortex Rival.

It’s easy to talk about the best golf driver of the year, like the Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond. Even the longest driver of the year, the Titleist GT2, gets plenty of attention.

You know what doesn’t but should? The driver in fourth place.

This year, that driver is the COBRA DS-Adapt Max K.

If you want to know more about the 2025 driver no one is talking about but should be, here’s what you need to know about the COBRA DS-Adapt Max K.

The fourth-longest driver of the year

The longest driver of the year, the Titleist GT2, had an average total distance of 252.02 yards. The COBRA DS-Adapt Max K was 251.03 yards – just one yard less. If you have trouble generating the distance you want off the tee, consider the Max K.

Evnroll updates their 2023 V-Series line and adds the new Carlsbad putter line.The V-Series blade and mallets are modular in design.The Carlsbad line includes one blade and one mallet at a lower-than-usual price point.Available now at Evnroll.com with a MSRP of $429 for the V-Series line and $249 for the Carlsbad line.

The “Sweetest Face in Golf” just got less expensive. That’s right, I said LESS expensive. 

At a time when everything in golf is getting pricier, Evnroll’s new Carlsbad putters are hundreds of dollars less than the majority of other putters.

Less expensive is great but are they any good?

The short answer to that question is yes, they are very good putters. They are Evnroll putters, after all. These new putters may cost less but they are still packed with Evnroll’s assistive putting technologies.

If that wasn’t enough good putter news, Evnroll has also updated their V-Series line with new models. The Evnroll V-Series received significant refresh back in 2023. Those 2023 putter models all featured modular hosels, adjustable weights and swappable rear flanges.

We tested the COBRA DS-Adapt Max K, X, LS and MAX D in 2025 and now have a clearer picture of how the lineup compares to the competition. The goal is to determine whether the COBRA DS-Adapt is worth the upgrade. While some new drivers on the market are $649, COBRA’s latest lineup is $549. That’s still a significant investment so it’s best to have the facts before deciding. Here is what you need to know about the COBRA DS-Adapt drivers.

COBRA DS-Adapt 2025 driver results

Two COBRA drivers finished in the top 10 in our 2025 Best Golf Driver test. The DS-Adapt Max K was the best we saw from COBRA with a fourth-place finish. The DS-Adapt LS finished eighth thanks to its distance capability. The DS-Adapt X was strong in the accuracy department but couldn’t produce the distance you get from the LS or the K.

Why the COBRA drivers would be worth upgrading to

Here are a few reasons you may want to consider upgrading to a COBRA DS-Adapt driver in 2025.

You want forgiveness without sacrificing distance

The COBRA DS-Adapt Max K finished in the top 10 for forgiveness and the LS was not far behind. We measure forgiveness by looking at the consistency of carry distance, ball speed and shot dispersion. One tester said the COBRA Max K had “very consistent center strikes. It’s forgiving across the entire face.”

Adjustability matters to you

The new COBRA DS-Adapt drivers feature the new FF33 hosel system. This system allows for 33 unique settings to give more adjustability in the head. While the accuracy scores on the COBRA drivers were not always the highest, you may be able to fine-tune some of that with the extra adjustability.

As a golfer who rides more than he walks, I’m always looking for golf cart accessories to make my round as hassle-free as possible. I don’t want to have to fumble around trying to find my phone as it slides around the storage area in the dash (or drive back two holes after realizing it fell out). Whether you use course-provided carts or have a golf cart of your own, the right accessories are important in keeping you organized instead of tossing everything in the dash and hoping for the best. Check out these items below to see if they can make your life easier for every round.

Stripebird Magnetic Phone Holder

If you’re like me, you use your phone throughout the round to track shots or get distance to greens. It is a pain to have to grab it out of the cupholder or storage bin, check your numbers, put it back and then wash, rinse and repeat. This magnetic phone holder from Stripebird allows you to mount your phone to the post of the golf cart, keeping it in plain site as you make your way down the fairway. Say goodbye to wasted time with access right at your fingertips.

Overhead Storage Bag

This accessory is geared towards the golfer who, like me, owns their own cart. When you own your cart, there are things you put in that NEVER leave. This can lead to limited storage space. Utilize the space above your head with this convenient net. Gone are the days of wasting a cupholder spot for your bug spray. It’s also a great place to store snacks if you are a parent of small children who enjoy hitting the links with you. Do yourself a favor and snag one.

Rokform G-ROCK

I may ruffle some feathers here as the crowd is strongly divided but I am in the camp of playing music on the course (no, you won’t hear me from three fairways over). Golf is a social game and that social time is made even better with some great tunes. This speaker from ROKFORM has an internal magnet that allows you to stick it right to your cart instead of placing it in the dash. Waterproof, shockproof and dustproof, it is made to withstand all elements with 24-hour battery life to boot. If you’re looking for a new speaker for 2025, you’ve found it.

CLUBRALLY Steering Wheel Mount

If you prefer having everything right at your fingertips (or are guilty of forgetting things on the cart post), this steering wheel mount from CLUBRALLY is the accessory for you. It’ll hold your phone, pencil and ball marker front and center. Get your yardages with ease and have a ball marker handy at all times.

Before we look at the five things you didn’t know about the new Nippon NS PRO MODUS3 Tour 110 iron shaft, let’s look at one thing that should be painfully obvious.

It, along with its MODUS3 brethren, has the longest name in all of shaft-dom.

So, for our purposes today, let’s call it the Nippon NS PRO MODUS3 Tour 110 something simple, like the MODUS Tour 110. NS PRO will be implied, as will the superscript 3. My fingers will be happy for the next thousand words or so, and you’ll be pleased with the brevity.

The Nippon MODUS Tour 110 is the sixth and, presumably, final member of the MODUS3 family, although nothing is ever etched in stone. The Tour 110 brings balance and symmetry to the family, but there’s more to it than just numerology.

Let’s dig in.
