WINNER: BirdieBall

If you want a putting green that is the closest thing to the greens you play on every week, the BirdieBall is the one for you. The foam platform allows the ball to roll pure, end over end, allowing you to focus on what matters most: starting the ball on line. It may not have any alignment lines off the bat but you can customize it with whatever you like. These are just some of the reasons BirdieBall was crowned Most Wanted Indoor Putting Green of 2022.

Last week we presented the 2 critical issues to help you Perfect Your Game: Mental Focus and Knowing Your Ideal Swing for Each of your Clubs. Mental Focus was covered last week and now we want to share your INDIVIDUAL SECRETS that creates distance and direction control for each club.

These SECRETS are unique for every golfer and every type of club. The weight and flexibility of each club from your driver down to your putter require a special setup and swing for each type of club. You should take lessons to sort out the proper techniques and then you should sort out the exact setup that works for your strength and flexibility.

If you can recognize a pro, just by watching their swing, you can understand why each pro and each golfer actually swings every type of club differently. That’s why you need to tailor your perfect swing for every type of club to your PHYSICAL AND MENTAL CAPABILITES.

I have finally sorted this out for my clubs and I’m starting to shoot just over par for 9 holes on the back nine of every round. I have studied what works for my swing on every type of club but my changing flexibility over 18 holes must be another variable for my swing.

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 AVX. To learn more about our test process, how we define “bad” balls, check out our About MyGolfSpy Ball Lab page.

About the Titleist AVX

The Titleist AVX is a three-piece ball with a cast urethane cover. The bulk of AVX balls that find their way to the U.S. market are manufactured alongside the Pro V1 franchise at Titleist’s Ball Plant 3 in New Bedford, Mass. It’s the softest ball in Titleist’s premium lineup and has the distinction of being the only non-Pro V1 ball in Titleist’s ball-fitting matrix.

On the performance side, the AVX is a bit of an anomaly. It’s a bit firmer than the majority of balls designed for moderate swing speed golfers. It also flies a bit lower. While that can be problematic for some, it also makes AVX viable for higher swing speed golfers who generate excessive spin.

VERDICT – PXG BATTLE READY BAT ATTACK

The PXG’s Battle Ready Bat Attack lives up to the name. Throughout the 2022 Most Wanted Mallet Putter Test, Bat Attack performed well from all three testing distances. It displayed tremendous consistency from five, 10 and 20 feet, finishing in the top three from each distance, including placing as the best mallet from five feet. With two to three hosel types, Bat Attack can fit multiple different putting strokes. If you’re in the market for a new putter, this PXG putter ranks high on my list of recommendations.

Tiger Woods said Tuesday he skipped the U.S. Open because he didn't want to jeopardize his chances of playing in the 150th Open Championship at St. Andrews, which begins on July 14.

TaylorMade has launched Stealth UDI and Stealth DHY utility irons.The new models provide additional options to fill gaps at the long end of your bag.Retail price is $249.Pre-sale starts now. Available July 15.

If you were expecting TaylorMade would be launching a new P-Series iron right about now, then, yeah, well, me too. But that ain’t gonna happen. To hold you over and hopefully fill a spot in your bag where options are plentiful but answers are sometimes hard to come by, TaylorMade is launching the Stealth UDI and Stealth DHY in the utility/driving iron space.

And while there are some red accents to reinforce the Stealth branding, you won’t find any carbon fiber here. That only works with big faces.

Stealth UDI/DHY – Where They Fit

Both the Stealth UDI and Stealth DHY provide options to fill what I call the transitional space in your bag. Philosophies and specifics vary but Matt Bovee, TaylorMade’s Director of Product Creation for the iron category, sees it as the gap between the shortest fairway wood you’re not willing to part with and the longest iron you’re comfortable hitting. Typically, that’s the chasm between your 3-wood and a 4- or even 5-iron.

Incidentally, if the longest iron in your bag isn’t something you’re comfortable hitting, it’s time for a change. The Stealth UDI or DHY could be just the thing to make you feel comfortable in the long game.
