There is a lot of cool gear in the golf equipment world that doesn’t always fit neatly into Most Wanted Tests or Buyer’s Guides. You still want to know how it performs. In our We Tried It series, we put gear to the test and let you know if it works as advertised.

PuttOut Tour Studio and Travel Studio

PuttOut’s main objective is to help golfers “practice more and putt less”. Without question, PuttOut’s Pressure Putt Trainer is one of their hottest products. I can attest to the addictive nature of it. You can spend minutes upon minutes attempting to have the ball come to rest in their micro-target. When you achieve the perfect putt, it is extremely gratifying. It’s just like when I’m drowning myself in a video game, striving to achieve a goal and finally hitting that goal. It’s a “high.” Caution: It can be addicting.

GALVIN GREEN MASTERS THEMED RAIN JACKET

We all love Masters-themed swag. On that note, Galvin Green have come out with a limited edition rain jacket. Inspired by the white coveralls worn by caddies at the Masters, it’s as sweet as a Georgia peach.

Their jacket is constructed from ARVIN GORE-TEX Paclite® material that is waterproof, windproof, breathable and lightweight. It comes with a full zip for quick easy access during a downpour. It is one of the quietest jackets I have ever put on. With the environment in mind, the ARVIN jacket is made partially with sustainable fabrics and labels.

HOW IT FITS

Even though the company is based in Europe, the ARVIN jacket fits straight up and down. NOT that tighter European fit. It has just the right amount to stretch to help you swing with ease.

Tiger Woods hasn't decided whether or not he's playing in the 2022 Masters. We track his movements until he makes a final decision.

Tiger Woods updated his status for the Masters, which begins Thursday, saying he considers himself a "game-time decision" to play his first tournament in more than a year.

According to our consumer survey data, Sub 70 is the No. 1 direct-to-consumer golf equipment brand. The secret recipe is a blend of performance, value and kick-ass customer service.

Case in point: At less than $200, the Sub 70 949x fairway offers a robust slate of modern technology and materials. The 455-carpenter steel cupped face produces “the hottest ball speeds possible off the face” according to Sub 70.

With all of that said, we’d like to get feedback from MyGolfSpy readers.
