When it comes to buying fun new golf stuff, pants aren’t typically at the top of most people’s list. Golf pants are certainly not as sexy as a new driver, or a new launch monitor. But after 18 holes wearing the wrong pair? You start to understand that finding a reliable pair, that fits you and your needs is actually really valuable. The list of my favorite golf pants has actually changed pretty significantly, since my previous update in the Fall of 2025. Let’s be real. Nobody gets excited about golf pants, until you put on the wrong pair. And now that…

For two years, the Blue Tees Player+ was my favorite golf Bluetooth speaker. It sounded great, the GPS yardages were handy, and I kept reaching for it even as I tested newer speakers. And then the Mileseey GeneSonic Pro came along. It added two genuinely revolutionary features to the golf speaker market: a built-in GPS chip, and a removable screen. Those new features are useful enough that I gave it my pick for best overall GPS golf speaker. But that’s not the whole story. The new Blue Tees Player Pro keeps the sound I liked about the Player+, adds a…
Well, it’s official: the holidays are upon us. And you know what that means: we’re going to see the best sales and lowest prices of the year on all of the products you’ve been holding off on buying! As has been the trend, Black Friday has basically morphed into Black November, and we’re already seeing a bunch of brands go live with their best sales of the year. I’ll be updating this post daily as sales come and go over the month of November and into December. This will be broken up into 3 sections: Featured Sales: These are the…
Whether you’re a golfer yourself or you’re someone accustomed to shopping for one, you know that buying a gift for a golfer is a lot harder than it should be. The marketing hype with so many of these products is so loud. There are so many different choices. Everything seems to have gotten so expensive. And even when you find what you think might actually be the right fit at the right price, chances are, the golfer you’re shopping for already has it or something very similar. I’ve spent more than a decade testing golf gear here at Breaking Eighty.…
FlightScope has long had some of my favorite launch monitors in golf, and with the launch of their latest product, the Mevo Gen 2, nothing has changed in that regard. The team over there has been cool enough to hook Breaking Eighty readers up with a special FlightScope Discount Code! Use the FlightScope Promo Code BREAKINGEIGHTYPLUS to Save 5% on most FlightScope products, including the Mevo Gen 2, Mevo Plus, Pro Package, and Impact Detection. The best part is that this code will still work on top of any other sales they’re currently running. For Holiday 2026, we’re seeing the…
I try a lot of golf clothes, and the ones I end up wearing most are usually the ones I’d reach for even if I didn’t have a tee time. That’s what’s happened with B. Draddy. The Andy Hoodie keeps showing up in my YouTube videos because I already had it on when I started filming. And somehow, a guy who wears jeans all the time wound up playing his last three rounds in corduroys. B. Draddy is one of my favorite golf clothing brands right now. They do an especially good job with Pima cotton, merino wool, and cashmere.…
I’ve known Gabe Aluisy, better known as the guy behind Let’s Play Thru, for years. When it comes to YouTube reviews of golf clubs and equipment, few people do it better. We’ve even had a chance to take a Bandon Dunes trip together a while back. But I’ve gotta say, I was a little surprised when I saw he was releasing his own irons. There are so many solid options out there. Designing something compelling is one challenge. Marketing it, building clubs, and handling customer support? That’s a whole other business. Still, I was excited to find out if they…
I’ve called the Stitch SL2 one of the best looking bags in golf for years. It’s clean, simple, and has a look that stands out without needing a bunch of oversized logos to do it. But if you’ve been waiting for a version with a little more personality? This one might be worth a look. Stitch has teamed up with Mossy Oak on a limited-edition SL2 featuring the brand’s Original Bottomland camouflage. It launched this week with a retail price of $398. A Different Look for the Stitch SL2 The collaboration takes Stitch’s best-selling SL2 and adds Mossy Oak’s Original Bottomland…
For three years, the Rapsodo MLM2PRO followed a pretty unusual formula. It kept getting better- yet it never got more expensive. Measured club path and angle of attack were added as free updates. GSPro integration was added for free. Better courses, new practice modes… All of it rolled out through firmware and software, on hardware Rapsodo had already sold you. It’s a big part of why I’ve called the MLM2PRO the best launch monitor under $1,000 for a while now. But there’s only so far you can push the same hardware. And now Rapsodo has done what it hadn’t done…
When the FlightScope Mevo Gen 2 first came out, there were a lot of questions. How did it compare to the Mevo Plus? Was it worth saving money if you couldn’t get all of the most advanced club data? And where exactly did this thing fit in FlightScope’s lineup? Well, the dust has settled, and we’ve got a much clearer picture now. The Mevo Plus is officially discontinued. FlightScope isn’t making them anymore, and once remaining inventory sells through, it’s gone for good. And as of late 2025, the Gen 2 now supports both the Pro Package and Face Impact…
