The Square Omni came in with more hype than almost anything I’ve ever reviewed. And, honestly, that scared me. In my experience, hyped products stand a very good chance of letting you down. Well, this one, mostly, didn’t. It just might be one of those rare examples of a hyped product that actually delivers on the expectations. The Omni is a $1,600, four-camera optical launch monitor with no subscription. And after testing it indoors against a Trackman and outdoors on the range, the headline is the accuracy. It’s shockingly good. The build is also a big step up from the…

Seven hundred and ninety-nine dollars. That price makes the Mileseey GenePro S1 the most expensive rangefinder I have ever tested. So from the moment I pulled it out of the case, the same questions kept hitting me: How could this thing possibly be worth this much money? And is it actually worth that much? If you’re interested in a truly high-end rangefinder and maybe curious about how far the extra spend can get you, I think you’ll like this review. Let me walk you through what I found in the GenePro S1. Where Mileseey Came From If you’d asked most…
If you’re thinking about your first golf launch monitor, odds are you don’t want to spend a fortune on it. You’re not yet sure it’s something you’ll use enough to justify it, so laying out serious money feels like a lot just to find out. That’s a reasonable place to be. Good news: You don’t have to. For right around $200, there are three real devices worth weighing, and any of them will get you started without much of a dent. Those three are the Shot Scope LM1, the PRGR, and the original Rapsodo MLM. I’ve put time in with…
As someone who makes their living around golf, it’d be impossible not to have the golf polo as a staple of my wardrobe – both on the course and off. I’ve got dozens of polos. Yet, honestly? There are only a handful that I go back to week in and week out. A golf polo can be a pretty personal thing. We all have different body types, material preferences, budgets, and styles that we gravitate towards. So, creating a definitive “best golf polos” list is kind of tricky. So with this list, I did my best to provide a little…
Considering buying a pair of Payntr golf shoes? No surprise, they are one of the most hyped brands in golf right now – and for good reason. Not only do their latest shoes have excellent performance, they’re also some of the best-looking shoes on the market. In this video, I break down the benefits of Payntr golf shoes, I compare the “original era” vs the “new era” of the shoes – and I also share my favorite pair at the moment.

When I reviewed the Tour V6 Shift, I called it the most well-rounded rangefinder Bushnell had ever released. The right marriage of performance, build quality, features, and price. For most people, I recommended it over the $600 Pro X3. Then the Tour V7 Shift showed up. Same $399 price. Same “Tour” positioning, one notch below the flagship. And after testing it, I called it my favorite Bushnell rangefinder to date. So now there’s an obvious question, and it comes in two flavors. If you’re shopping for a rangefinder today, is there any reason to consider the older V6 Shift? And…

For a couple of years there, rangefinders were starting to feel like a commodity. Lasers got fast, optics got good, and it didn’t seem like anyone was doing anything new. Then GPS rangefinders showed up and made the category interesting again. Two of the best examples are the Garmin Approach Z30 and the Bushnell Tour Hybrid. Both promise the same thing: laser accuracy to the pin, plus the front and back of the green data you’d normally need a GPS device for. But they go about it in completely opposite ways. The Tour Hybrid builds the GPS directly into the…
I’ve been looking forward to getting my hands on this bag since the PGA Show back in January. Out of everything I saw on the show floor that week, the Vessel Player Air Carbon was the one golf bag that had me most excited. Honestly, it’s been my most anticipated bag of the year. And now I’ve got it. I’m three rounds in, and I’ve got some real thoughts to share on what works and what maybe isn’t quite as ideal as on other Vessel models. So, is this the right bag for you? Or would you be better off…
I was on the 16th hole of the Witch Hollow course at Pumpkin Ridge, over a decade ago. I’d recently joined the club, and it was a beautiful early summer day. As we stood in the fairway, another member came up in a cart and said, “Mind if we play through real quick? Mr. Davis is playing 144 holes today to raise money for the Children’s Cancer Association.” I had so many questions. But the answer was obviously yes, of course. He waved him up from the tee box, where this golfer piped one down the center of the fairway.…
