Ping Scottsdale putters introduce a new running shoe inspired insert and re-introduce several of Ping's classic shapes.

PING launches their new Scottsdale family of putters.The putter launch includes nine different blade and mallet models.The slightly softer PEBAX face insert delivers a soft feel and an energetic roll.Available Mar. 27 with a MSRP of $270

A few weeks back, PING launched three new PLD Milled putter models. Those models were great additions to the PLD Milled family, but they didn’t really deliver that “New for 2025!” feeling that we expect during the annual new golf gear release season.

As it turns out, those new PLD Milled putters were just PING’s 2025 putter appetizer course.

Today, PING is bringing the 2025 main course to the table with the brand new Scottsdale family of putters. With a nine-model mixture of blades and mallets, the new PING Scottsdale line features putters for even the most picky putter pallets.

PING historians will recognize that PING has used the Scottsdale name before. In fact, PING has named putters after their Arizona home town for more than fifty years. The last time PING named a line of putters after the city of Scottsdale was back in 2013 with the Scottsdale TR line.

Like that previous Scottsdale TR line, this new Scottsdale line features iconic PING heads, and new formula inserts in the faces.

Vice Golf has never been afraid to throw some noodles (or more accurately paint) to see what sticks.

Case in point, this pretty wild Vice Pro Galaxy, which, as far as I know, is the only golf ball with a mostly purple urethane cover.

I say mostly because as part of Vice’s hot-selling Drip series, the apparently two-tone purple is accented with drips of white paint.

Recently re-stocked, it’s likely this Vice Special Edition golf ball will sell out reasonably fast.

Who wants Purple?

While the Vice Pro Galaxy may prove to be our putter guy’s (Dave Wolfe) favorite golf ball ever, I’m not sure the golf world as a whole is ready to embrace the purple rain approach to a golf ball.

In the midst of the new release chaos that is December through January in the golf equipment world, Callaway kept one card close to the vest. Actually, there are almost certainly more cards, but the point of today’s story is that Elyte Triple Diamond Max has found its way onto the USGA’s conforming driver list.

What we know

As is the way with the USGA list, details are sparse. All we can say for sure is that the Elyte Triple Diamond Max shares the front-to-back weighting system of the Elyte Triple Diamond and, like everything else in the Elyte metalwood family, it has a 10X Ai face.

Slightly unusual for the USGA list, the first appearance of the Elyte TD Max is limited to the left-handed version.

Hmm emoji.

With Elyte, Callaway dropped “Max” from the naming convention for its middle of the market driver. This makes the new addition particularly interesting as it reintroduces the suffix for what appears to be a tweener offering.

Good news, friends: March marks the official end of launch season. We’re finally free of new product launches and can now get down to the serious business of actually, you know, playing golf.

Here’s even better news: March also marks the official start of Limited Edition Season.  I don’t know about you, but I do love a good Limited Edition anything, and I’m especially a big fan of COBRA’s Limited Editions.

The new COBRA x Arnold Palmer Limited Edition DS-ADAPT driver celebrates this week’s Arnold Palmer Bay Hill Invitational. Like any good limited edition, it follows a very simple and subtle script.  If you’re an ardent fan of The King (and c’mon people, who isn’t?), COBRA has knocked it out of the park.

Let’s dig in, shall we?

COBRA x Arnold Palmer Limited Edition DS-ADAPT

Let’s get the cynical stuff out of the way first. These new Limited Edition drivers are exactly the same as the DS-ADAPT LS, X and MAX-K drivers COBRA launched in January. The one difference is entirely superficial.

The TaylorMade Qi35 was the highest-ranking TaylorMade driver in our 2025 Best Golf Driver test. However, it still didn’t make a top-ten appearance. We tested 37 drivers in total and looked at everything from forgiveness to accuracy to spin rates and distance. Here are four reasons to purchase a TaylorMade Qi35 driver and two to look elsewhere.

Reasons to buy

The best combination of distance and accuracy in the Qi35 lineup

With a score of 9.2 for distance and 8.6 for accuracy, the Qi35 did quite well for anyone looking to hit a long drive that ends up near the target. With a total distance average of 250.07 yards across all testers, the Qi35 earned 11th place overall in distance.

Ball speed matters to you

TaylorMade is sticking with the carbon face technology to help retain ball speed. In our 2025 driver testing, the Qi35 ranked second overall in ball speed. TaylorMade improved its carbon face’s stability and bonding process in the Qi35 lineup. The refinements are supposed to enhance durability and consistency.

Moderate to high spin is what your game needs

The average spin rate from the Qi35 was 2,630 RPM, which is a good choice for golfers who need a balance of control and carry distance.

One thing to note here is that the Qi35 LS had almost the same average spin rate, even though it’s supposed to be the lower spin model.

Handicaps can take a while to drop. Even if you feel like you’re playing better golf, your scores may not reflect it for some time. Great golfers know to look for signs that they’re getting better at golf. These signs can help you avoid feeling discouraged and focusing too much on the numbers.

Fewer blow-up holes

If you are used to a few double or triple bogeys on the scorecard each round, you may start to notice them disappear. When you have a bad hole, it may be because of a mental or course management mistake, not necessarily from poor ball striking.

Track your double bogeys or worse so you have an idea as to which way you are trending.

Finishing the round with the same golf ball

Not losing a golf ball during your round indicates that your shots are straighter and you’re making smarter decisions. Lost balls cost you penalty strokes.

Learn to control your clubface. The more control you have, the easier it is to finish the round with the same golf ball.
