It’s shocking to see ads for GOLF Training Aids that promise an instant fix for multiple swing problems. Of course, those ads are designed to get your attention. It really would be wonderful if all of their promises could instantly or ever come true.

I really admire the golf instructor who is promoting a wrist “clicking” device that will solve problems for “90% of golfers who struggle with mis-hits like fat shots, thin shots and shanks.” That really is an amazing promise. His offer is a solution for your poor “wrist position”. Of course, you need a flat or slightly bowed wrist on your down swing, but you also need the right posture, ball position, weight transfer, shoulder orientation, head position, hip and shoulder rotation and it all has to happen in a specific sequence in order to hit the sweat spot with the correct launch angle.

His offer promises consistently flush contact on ever shot and his promises continue on and on. That’s the dream of every golfer. I’m just using this ad as an example of the wonderful image that advertising creates in order to make a sale. If the ad was 50% true then most of their customers would be scratch golfers in no time. Fat Chance!

GOLFSTR+ Solutions
When I developed GOLFSTR+, professional golfers and trainers quickly pointed out 5 more uses as this training aid can be used for many more solutions than a Straight Leading Arm Trainer. Learning to play golf well is more than “a one trick pony”. There are so many unique requirements for a great game of golf. That’s why each club has its own characteristics to solve every possible combination of problems that you face in every round of golf.

I quickly realized that training with a training aid is only the starting point for great golf. When I launched GOFLSTR+, I realized that a continuous training program was needed to encourage customers to explore new ways to improve their games. To help golfers everywhere, I have created a Swing Tip Blog every week for the last 10 years. Finding useful tips from pros which I share in blogs, help me improve my game and I hope that they do the same for you too.

LIV Golf CEO and commissioner Greg Norman met with federal lawmakers on Capitol Hill on Wednesday to lobby on behalf of the new circuit being financed by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, and his message was met with mixed reviews.

Adam Scott and Hideki Matsuyama will face off against Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele in the opening match of the Presidents Cup, where the U.S. team figures to have a sizable advantage.

The U.S. team features five of the top 10 players in the world, including No. 1 Scottie Scheffler. The International team will try to be Buster Douglas to the American's Mike Tyson.

Which company makes the best putters? Odyssey? Scotty Cameron? PING? TaylorMade?

They all do. Right?  It just depends on how you ask the question.

With that, it’s fair to suggest that independent brand Evnroll Putters has claimed a position within the industry that is unlike, and unmatched, by others.  Before you hoist the torches and pitchforks, hear me out.

I’m not suggesting that the Mount Rushmore of putters should feature a single face. More so, that the piece of real estate now owned by Evnroll is well protected and possibly provides it with a perpetual competitive advantage.

It’s an audacious stance to be sure. But does it have merit?

LIV Golf's Greg Norman says he has been asked not to attend the QBE Shootout, an event he founded and has hosted since 1989. "Why one might ask? Perhaps it is because I am helping to give golf a new heartbeat ..."

LIV golfers have signed a letter sent to the chairperson of the Official World Golf Ranking asking that the OWGR retroactively include LIV Golf results in its rankings. LIV players have not received points for their finishes so far.

A lot has changed in the sport of golf since the last Presidents Cup tournament. Here's a look at the schedule, competitors and what's at stake.

You’ve heard about them, maybe seen them too. Everyday products are being hyped in your Twitter and Instagram feeds. They’re sometimes endorsed by pros, celebrities, and influencers alike. But do they live up to the hype? We take a closer look.

Hi, I’m Harry and I am a professional golf shoe tester. (Yes, they exist.) I actually test a lot of things at MyGolfSpy and play professionally when I’m not checking and comparing specs on gloves, rangefinders, bags, ball retrievers, etc. You can call me the Director of Soft Goods Testing here at MGS. You can also just call me Harry. That’s fine, too.

LIV Golf CEO and commissioner Greg Norman will be in Washington this week to meet with lawmakers to discuss the golf circuit and address concerns about its controversial ties to Saudi Arabia.

Salted Smart Insoles were one of the best products to come through the doors here at MyGolfSpy HQ. But somehow they have made it even better.

We tested the Smart Insoles back in October 2020 and loved what they were putting down. The insoles are designed to provide real-time feedback with your weight pressure in various sports. But why is understanding weight pressure especially important in the game of golf? Well, if you don’t use weight pressure properly, you end up just using arms, hitting slices/hooks, thinning shots …  It’s not a pretty picture.

So dive in with me to see what’s been updated with the Salted Smart Insoles and why the pros use their weight pressure effectively to hit those 300+ bombs.

What’s New?

The new Smart Salted Insoles are 188 grams lighter than the original version. That might not sound like much but it certainly makes a difference. They have also shaved the height and thickness of the insole without sacrificing comfort or stability.

The first app version had some bugs and wasn’t very user friendly. However, the updates have made it very easy to use and navigate. You can scroll through golf tip videos, look at your old swings, compare your swing to a professional—the list goes on.

OUR JOB IS YOUR GAME

Wedges. Other than putters, the one category where distance is last on the priority list. Instead, accuracy, consistency and spin efficiency are of utmost importance.

Here are the best wedges of 2022. Let’s take a look!

MOST WANTED SCORING

We have reformulated our 2022 Most Wanted results to a 100-point scoring system. This new system better identifies golf clubs to potentially help you shoot lower scores.

For wedges, we’ve split our key metrics into three categories: accuracy, consistency and spin. Each category is weighted through proprietary methodologies.

Max Homa chipped in from nearly 33 feet for birdie on the closing hole, then watched as Danny Willett shockingly three-putted from inside 4 feet on Sunday to give Homa his second straight title at the Fortinet Championship in California.

British Open champion Cameron Smith made his decision to leave the PGA Tour for LIV Golf pay off Sunday when he closed with a 3-under 69 for a three-shot victory in the LIV Golf Invitational-Chicago.

Steve Stricker shot a 64 in the Sanford International, and then he won with a birdie on the first extra hole against Robert Karlsson.

Andrea Lee recovered from two early bogeys and pulled away with five birdies on the back nine Sunday to close with a 6-under 66 and win the AmazingCre Portland Classic for her first LPGA Tour title.

Robert MacIntyre beat U.S. Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick on the first hole of a playoff to win the Italian Open on the Marco Simone course outside Rome that will host next year's Ryder Cup.
