2022 BEST GOLF BAGS + PUSH/ELECTRIC CARTS COMBINATIONS

Readers have been asking, “What is the best golf bag/push cart combo?” Although there are literally hundreds of possible combinations among the various stand bags, cart bags, push carts and electric carts, we put together the best options just for you.

There are bag/cart companies which have designed combinations to keep your bag stable and upright. But if you didn’t like either their bag or their cart, then it wasn’t attractive to buy the combo. However, there are alternative solutions.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could change your setup for your driver and for your irons to hit more fairways and Greens In Regulation? That’s every golfers dream and I believe that Hank Haney has given us a few great setup ideas for more consistent hits with better direction controlled.

Hank Haney, Martin Chuck and Danny Maude have recently been bombarding blog followers with opportunities to purchase swing tips which will solve your inconsistent swing problems. They are promising to fix your swing using 1 to 10 balls at a practice range. I have not purchased their programs but wanted to provide the key tips that they shared on their promotional videos.

Basic Setup
I’m NOT going to detail the basic setup that you can find on any YouTube training video as the proper grip and stance should give you the proper distance from your ball for consistent hits. Whatever you do in your swing, your distance from you shoulders to your ball must be the same at impact as it was during your setup. Don’t pull your leading shoulder away from the ball before impact. Increasing the distance of your leading shoulder away from the ball will cause toe hits (which look like a major slice). Test for this problem by spraying foot powder on the face of your clubs as your impact should be on the center of the face.

Driver Grip Tip Setup
After you line up your shot and take your stance on a line parallel to your target line, rotate your club across your body and parallel with the ground, with the face of your driver pointing perpendicular to the ground. Adjust your fingers by holding the grip of your club in your fingers (not your palms), [You may want to rotate the face of your club 2 degrees forward to add draw to your shot). Without changing your grip; bend forward and rotate your club back down to your ball with your shaft pointing at your belt buckle.

Your swing will feel strange with this finger grip, but your result will be straight. You may want to use a swing thought of shallowing your driver at the start of your downswing to launch your club head from the inside and up my target line.

Greg Norman wrote the LIV Golf circuit "by any fair, objective and impartial review" should be awarded Official World Golf Ranking points for its events in the very near future.

The PGA Tour's top players aren't ready to reveal what was discussed during a meeting with Tiger Woods, but many insist they're on the same page in terms of what the tour needs to do in its ongoing battle with LIV Golf.

MyGolfSpy Ball Lab is where we quantify the quality and consistency of the golf balls on the market to help you find the best ball for your money. Today, we’re taking a look at the 2022 Titleist Tour Speed To learn more about our test process, how we define “bad” balls, check out our About MyGolfSpy Ball Lab page.

About the Titleist Tour Speed

The Tour Speed is unique among Titleist urethane-covered golf balls. While all things Pro V1 and AVX feature cast urethane covers, the Tour Speed is Titleist’s only injection-molded (TPU) urethane ball. It’s also notable that the Tour Speed is made alongside the Velocity and TruFeel at Ball Plant 2, not at Ball Plant 3 where the premium stuff is made.

The original Tour Speed caused a stir among regular readers of Ball Lab. While the performance is intriguing (we found the Tour Speed to be surprisingly long off the tee), its Ball Lab score, while still within the average range, is the lowest of any Titleist ball tested to date.

My role as a golf coach is often to help my students neutralize the manner in which they deliver the club to the golf ball. I might help them with less slice, longer shots or simply a higher or lower ball flight. Today’s lesson will give a simple assist to any golfer looking to improve the trajectory of their shots. Whether you’re looking to hit the ball higher or lower the following video will help. Watch….

For a lower ball flight:

Hold the club in your lead hand and elevate the lead wrist

Place the trail hand on the club so that it is less ‘on top’ and more ‘alongside’ the grip

Have a sense throughout the swing that the club face is stronger and more downward

Lamkin UTx Golf Grip – A one of a kind, full-cord grip with a tacky feel.

YOUR LAMKIN UTX TESTER

Phillip Bishop. Most of the time, I have a grip on Most Wanted Testing. However, today, I have a dance with Lamkin’s Tri-Layer Technology.

LAMKIN PAST & PRESENT

Since 1925, Lamkin has been a leader in golf grip manufacturing. Elver Lamkin began the process in 1925 from his own garage. From there, Lamkin grew. Eventually, they touted a 60 year relationship with one of the greats, Arnold Palmer. 90 years have come and gone, and Lamkin has become “one of the most trusted brands in golf”.

Presently, Lamkin has a budding relationship with a current phenom, Tony Finau. With it, the opportunity to showcase one of its top selling grips – Lamkin UTx. Tony currently utilizes this grip, especially during his recent back-to-back victories. Now, what makes this grip different from every other grip?

A player who was invited to attend Tuesday's meeting told ESPN that it will include many of the top 20 players in the world and a handful of other influential PGA Tour members who haven't defected to LIV Golf.
