Golf clothes have gotten expensive. And unfortunately for me, I like nice things. At retail pricing, so many brands that I love have legitimately expensive MSRPs. It’s now pretty common to see golf polos over $100, golf hoodies well over $150, and premium rain jackets that cost as much as a new wedge or two. Fortunately, you don’t always have to pay full price to get extremely high-quality golf apparel. Many of my favorite golf apparel brands maintain surprisingly good sale or clearance sections. Better yet, some of them allow Breaking Eighty coupon codes to stack on top of their…

Well, the new Foresight GC2 is here. And I have a feeling this is going to be one of the more controversial launch monitor releases we’ve seen in a long time. Before receiving my unit for testing, I was a little nervous to review it. The internet hasn’t exactly been kind to Foresight following the announcement of its new software platform and subscription structure. Calls to move to subscription-free products like the Square Omni and FlightScope Mevo Gen2 have been loud. On paper, the GC2 isn’t going to do much to quiet those people down. It’s a two-camera launch monitor…

blasblasOne thing I know for sure: most golfers don’t practice with much consistent purpose. And I think a lot of that is that they aren’t entirely sure of what to work on. I know that’s often the case for me. What I’ve found to be the best training aids are the ones that help me feel what’s going on so that I can thereby better understand how to fix what’s incorrect. The trouble with golf though is that there are so many various components to it. No one training aid addresses every potential flaw. That’s why this list isn’t so…

For the last few years, Sun Mountain has been making some of the best-looking bags in golf. And I feel like hardly anyone talks about them. They’re not the “cool” bag brand in the way Vessel or Jones is. They don’t seem to speak to the younger golfer quite like Ghost or Sunday Golf. But as far as I’m concerned, Sun Mountain has been on an incredible run. It started with the Mid-Stripe a few years ago. Then came the Matchplay, which my wife liked enough to claim as her own. Earlier this year, I reviewed the Matchplay Ballistic, and…

Last year, the team behind Jones Golf Bags totally surprised me when they announced they were getting into apparel. But not just any apparel. Along with Jones, they’d acquired the rights to Forrester’s Outerwear. I’ll forgive you if you’ve never heard of it. But if you played high school golf through rainy Oregon autumns in the ’80s, you probably saw Forrester’s everywhere. Then, for a long time, you didn’t see it at all. They did so much right with the initial relaunch in 2025. Former Nike designer Chris Bailey helped design a line that feels true to the old brand,…

Foresight Sports just announced the biggest overhaul to its software ecosystem in years. The centerpiece is Foresight Premier, an entirely new PC application that replaces FSX Play and FSX Pro as the company’s primary platform for simulation, practice, and performance analysis. But Premier is only one part of the announcement. There’s also a new subscription system called Foresight+, along with major changes to course access and the future of Foresight’s existing software. The video above covers everything you need to know. What is Foresight Premier? Foresight Premier is the new desktop software for Foresight launch monitors. It combines the simulation…

Golf apparel is in a very different place than it was even five years ago. The old choice was essentially between a baggy country-club polo and whatever Nike happened to be selling that season. Now? You can find golf clothing for just about any personal style—from traditional private-club staples to technical rain gear, luxury lifestyle pieces, and full-on streetwear. That variety is great. It also makes figuring out which golf clothing brands are actually worth the money significantly more difficult. I’ve spent more than a decade reviewing golf products, and I’ve personally worn clothes from nearly every brand on this…

I continue to be pretty amazed at how many electric caddies I see on the course these days. At my home club, I’d say lately it feels like one out of every four golfers has one. So many people are using them that I was recently told the bag room actually ran out of space for charging batteries. Why are they so popular all of a sudden? Well, for starters, when they work well, they’re incredibly convenient. Walking hands-free down the fairway while your electric caddie cruises along in front of you is legitimately enjoyable. And considering we all know…

This is a golf blog. I know it’s a golf blog. And yet somehow, over the past several years, I’ve become one of the more credentialed sleep technology reviewers on the internet. It started with a Sleep.Me Ooler. Then I upgraded to an Eight Sleep Pod 3, which I’ve now used every single night for over four years. And in between, I spent a couple weeks testing the BedJet 3. If you’ve been going back and forth between these two systems, here’s the honest answer: Eight Sleep is the better product. It isn’t particularly close. But BedJet is a genuinely…

Two of the most popular tour-level golf balls on the market. Same price. Same kind of golfer. And a debate that comes up in every group bag drop, every driving range warm-up, every “what ball do you play?” conversation. The Titleist Pro V1 has been the gold standard in premium golf balls for over two decades. The TaylorMade TP5 has spent the last several years gaining serious ground on tour and in amateur bags alike by doing the one thing no other ball has quite managed: out-distancing the Pro V1 without giving up tour-level feel. So which one is actually…
