So you’ve decided to get serious about a launch monitor. Not a little radar unit that sits behind you and makes its best guess. A real, professional-level, camera-based device that sits next to the ball and measures what actually happened. Which means you’ve almost certainly come across these two: the Bushnell Launch Pro and the Uneekor Eye Mini. I’ve spent years with both of them. The Launch Pro has been my reference launch monitor for every launch monitor review I do (not to spoil too much, but it’s the most accurate one I’ve got). And the Eye Mini gave me…

I’ve been putting with L.A.B. putters long enough now that I genuinely have a hard time keeping their lineup straight. The OZ, the DF3, the Mezz, the Link, and now the VZN.1i. There are now 5 primary shapes, each with enough customization options to make your head spin. So when L.A.B. sent over the new VZN.1i, my first thought wasn’t necessarily “what’s different here,” it was “okay, where does this actually fit in the family?” After three rounds and a good chunk of time on the practice green, I’ve got some answers. And like pretty much every L.A.B. putter I’ve…
I’ll be honest, I’ve never been a huge fan of TRUE’s OG line. That wide toe box, now in its third iteration as the OG3, has just never been my personal style. Give me the direction they’ve been heading with shoes like the Lux Hybrid or the newer All Terrain Ascent PNWProof, more sneaker, more all-day, less “golf shoe” in the traditional sense, and I’m in. That’s exactly the lane the Antigravity lives in, and it’s why I’ve liked it since it launched earlier this year. Now TRUE has taken that same platform and built a “Pro” version on top…

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…
