Really liked this explanation here on Cleveland’s site. Your sand wedge and lob wedge don't have to match. Beyond loft, they can give you different ways to handle the ground. More sole and bounce for soft sand. More relief for opening the face on firm lies. Two wedges. Two options when the lie changes. What's your pairing? Tried to find something similar on Vokey’s site but couldn’t 😅

Lot of questions about Brandt's decision making this President's Cup. Here is another major one... All four U.S. pairings this afternoon normally play different golf balls. Different brands, too. In foursomes, they share one ball on each hole. That means hitting shots with a ball you didn't build your usual setup around. An equipment detail worth watching. Looks like it's working so far though 🤷‍♂️

Starting to wonder if the US needs to change our philosophy with these picks… Koivun and Scheffler should’ve been out there. No offense to Cantlay/Henley, but it’s just not the same spark. Hopefully they prove me wrong 😅

You got fitted for your irons. But what about the shafts in your wedges? A 95g iron shaft to a 127g wedge shaft is a 32g jump in raw weight. That isn't automatically a problem. But “wedge flex” alone doesn't tell you what you're getting. Your fitting shouldn't stop at the PW

Well, from what I’ve seen so far it’s looking like Koivun will be a LOCK to play the rest of the weekend 🤣. Not our best stuff out the gates today that’s for sure 😭

Ok, follow up here: Before buying another putter, try changing what you look at. One line. Three lines. A dot. No line. On the ball and the putter, there are plenty of options. Test which helps you aim where you intend. Shoutout Inside Tour Golf for the putter graphic 😅

It’s easy to pick a putter by the head shape and barely look at the neck. Double bend, plumber’s neck, slant neck, center shafted. That connection changes the setup and balance. Two similar-looking putters can feel different in your hands. What style do you prefer, and why?

Been tuning into the President’s Cup here and there during work. Anyone else feel like they’re watching ads with a side of golf 😭?

Your gap wedge doesn’t have to match your sand wedge. The T100 wedge continues your iron setup. A Vokey 50° gives you a choice of bounce, grind, etc. Compare full swings, chips and pitches before deciding. A specialty wedge isn’t an automatic upgrade. What’s your gap wedge?

Ever stripe it on the range, then chunk it on the course? A mat can let the club skid into the ball after hitting behind it. Grass punishes that same miss. You can end up repeating a swing fault because the result looked fine. Good ball flight doesn’t always mean good contact. Practicing on Mats is better than nothing, but make sure to go out and test what you practice on grass 😅

We’ll spend hours comparing drivers, then pick golf shoes simply because they look good. But your feet sliding during a swing or hurting by the back nine deserves some attention too. Fit. Traction. Comfort. Walking or riding, you need to be comfortable…

Not hitting your driver well? It’s easy to start shopping for a new one 😅 But a $15 grip can make the same club feel completely different. Standard or midsize. Traditional taper or +4. Rubber, cord or wrap. Hundreds of options. Try a new grip before replacing the club.

Woods vs. Irons: Two clubs carrying the same distance aren't automatically redundant. A long iron might give you a low runner. A lofted wood might land steep enough to hold a green. If you regularly need both shots, both can earn a spot. Example: Fleetwood's 9 wood/5 iron

I care more about trusting a putter than its tech story. Do I like the look? Can I start it on line? Can I control pace? The tech matters when it helps me do those things. Your putter should be whatever gives you the most confidence to go out there and drain putts. Exhibit A: Tiger's Scotty Cameron Newport 2. Same putter. 14 major wins. A new release doesn't make a trusted putter obsolete.

My New Favorite Club: Mini Driver Soon all major OEMs will have one. One in four players at the 2025 BMW PGA Championship carried a mini driver. The main question is: What is the purpose of your 3-wood? If it mostly comes out on a tee box, a Mini Driver deserves a test.

New equipment isn't always the answer... Hideki, JT, and Bobby Mac all have older fairway models in these bags. For the pros, once a wood gives you the carry, flight and turf contact you trust, extra yards alone aren't much of a reason to change. What's the oldest club you refuse to replace?

This year, Cam Young had four different iron models in his bag. 3: T250 4: T200 5: T100 6-9: 631.CY Prototype, per GolfWRX Pretty much a max prestige combo set 🤣 The point isn't to make every iron match. It's to make every iron useful. Pros rarely need the extra forgiveness. These more forgiving irons have lower CGs, and therefore launch higher. Making it easier to hold greens. No matter how good you are, you should at least think about a combo set.
