Titleist has added AVX and Pro V1x to its RCT golf ball lineup.RCT balls provide better spin capture in indoor settings.Retail price is $64.99 a dozen. Available now.

While I’m sure many were hoping that Titleist’s next big ball announcement would be the full retail availability of the Pro V1 Left Dot, the addition of AVX and Pro V1x Left Dash to the RCT lineup will have to serve as the next best thing.

About RCT Golf Balls

As a quick refresher, Titleist debuted RCT (radar capture technology) earlier this year with the release of Pro V1 RCT and Pro V1x RCT.

Developed by Titleist in partnership with TrackMan, the idea behind RCT is to provide better spin resolution and, ultimately, more reliable spin data in indoor and limited-flight environments where the ability of Doppler-based launch monitors to accurately capture spin rates is otherwise a little dicey.

The key to the technology is a special mark printed on the mantle layer (under the urethane cover) of the golf ball. In addition to eliminating the need for one of those silly metal dot stickers, RCT simply works better.

How long have you had your wedges? Ever tried groove sharpeners?

Chances are if you’ve been holding on to those old wedges as most of us do–they’re like security blankets. However, the wedge is the quickest deteriorating club in your bag, which means loss of spin, accuracy, and distance control.

Studies suggest you should be replacing your wedges every 75 rounds! That can get expensive… quickly.

In today’s episode of Golf Science we’re diving in on groove sharpening and whether or not it can breathe new life into your old wedges. We conducted a test with 15 different golfers – guaranteed one to match your game.

Adding a SYNLawn GreenMaker Putting Green to My Backyard

We all have our golf bucket lists. Maybe you want to play Pebble Beach, break 80 or even achieve those goals simultaneously. Those two things are on my list as well. Additionally, I have longed to build a putting green in my backyard.

I recently read an article stating that the worst golf tip ever was “to keep your head down” during your swing. This may be somewhat true but there are times when your can really benefit from keeping your eye on the ball.

That article quoted Bobby Jones. “The average golfer would be a lot better off if no one had ever said anything about the necessity for keeping the eyes glued upon the ball.”

Lifting your leading shoulder as you lift your head during your downswing is really the motion that you WANT TO AVOID for your drives or iron shots. Keeping your eye on the ball DURING THE POINT OF IMPACT is really important. I have watched many professional golfers [INCLUDING RORY MCILROY] during a slow motion swing that clearly show them keeping their head motionless (and their eye on the ball) until the time directly after impact.

Bobby Jones and many other pros are only trying to avoid ruining a perfect swing by eliminating the shoulder turn and follow through that you need to complete the ideal swing. So don’t mess up your swing by locking your head and eyes on your ball AFTER the point of impact.

Lock Your Eyes on the Ball when Putting
There is a time when it is extremely critical to keep you head locked down and your eyes focused on the point where your ball is resting. Do this during your PUTTING STROKE. It’s extremely sensitive to any motion which changes your exact line-up with your TARGET LINE. Your minds eye in your brain is actually controlling the target line that your planned to hit.
