Between the PGA Championship, Memorial Day, and Father’s Day – we’re getting to peak golf sale season for the Spring. Just in the last few days, I’ve seen a bunch of new deals for some of my favorite brands in golf. In this post you’ll find all of the best Father’s Day golf sales I’ve seen. I’ll continue to update this as I see new sales get launched, and where applicable I’ve also linked to my review of the products as well. And if you’re looking for something to watch while you shop, check out my latest video, where I…

FootJoy has never really been my go-to when it comes to golf shoes. Not because they aren’t good. They clearly know what they’re doing, and they’ve got the tour presence to prove it. But I don’t know, I’ve just never gravitated towards their look and design. And I haven’t always found as much out of the performance as I would have liked for my personal taste. But the FootJoy HyperFlex are different. Totally different. I took these shoes on my recent golf trip to Vietnam, and I came away genuinely impressed. The HyperFlex blends classic FootJoy DNA with some modern…
After more than a decade traveling the world in my quest to play the best golf courses, there’s one thing I feel I know better than just about anybody: Golf travel bags. I’ve used a lot of them across dozens of different trips. In fact, I just got back from 50 hours of round-trip travel to and from Vietnam for a golf trip. Obviously, my golf travel bag was one of the most important items of that experience. So if there’s one thing I know, it’s this: A great travel bag can significantly reduce the headache and hassle of traveling…
When I first started doing products reviews on this site, Stitch was a golf bag company. Ok, I guess they technically started with headcovers, but to me, they were all about bags. And for multiple years running, I’d even had their SL2 as my pick for the “best looking bag” in my breakdown of the best bags in golf. Well, while they’re still doing bags, the scope of the brand has changed pretty dramatically. They now have an entire apparel line, accessories, travel bags, and even a pair of shoes! Today, I wanted to take a look at some of the latest stuff…
This isn’t a golf review. But it is about a product from a golf brand. I felt compelled to write it because it’s not that often a new product makes it into my daily rotation. When you first hear the phrase pull-on jeans, your reaction might be similar to mine: a confused mix of curiosity and skepticism. Are we talking about adult jeggings? Something from a 90s workout video? But here’s the thing: Redvanly’s Ranstead jeans are legit. These aren’t some novelty item or fashion gimmick—they’re some of the most comfortable, stylish, and surprisingly versatile pants I’ve worn in years. After living in…
I’ve tested over 40 golf rangefinders here at Breaking Eighty. And if there’s one golf product category that you’d expect to be a bit of a commodity, this is it. I mean, all you really want is to get a distance to the pin as quickly as possible, right? How many different features can you add? Why is one rangefinder $100 and another is $600? Well, it’s pretty amazing how many different nuances there are. And the good news is that depending on what you’re looking for, you may not need to spend a ton of money to get a…
I play a lot of golf with a lot of different types of players. And from what I can observe, fairway woods, more than any other type of golf club, cause the most second-guessing for the biggest variety of golfers. Sure, many of us struggle with our driver. But almost all of us continue to bash away without any second thought. It may not be working great, but we generally don’t bother to consider an alternative option on most Par 4 and 5 tee boxes. And when we do? That’s right: It’s a fairway wood. And, yes, a lot of…
When most people dream up a bucket-list golf trip, Vietnam probably isn’t the first place that comes to mind. Or the second. Or even the tenth. But after spending two unforgettable weeks there with my dad, I’m here to tell you: it should be. We were looking for the perfect mix of world-class golf, incredible food, vibrant culture, and just enough adventure to make the whole thing feel special. Thanks to the team at Asia Golf Trips, we found exactly that — and then some. From championship layouts framed by jungle-covered mountains to beachfront holes that felt straight out of…
Over the last 3 years, Payntr has been (not so) quietly making a name for themselves. What happens when one of the best golf shoe designers in the world starts a brand with an emphasis on performance over fashion? You get Payntr. All of Payntr’s shoes are built with the goal to give the golfer as much of an advantage as they possibly can through the performance of their shoes. I’ve always liked the styling of their models, but it doesn’t take long to notice that many of them do have a similar look to them – which is kind…
Choosing the right set of irons is one of the most critical decisions a golfer can make. Drivers, putters and wedges are the most celebrated, cursed, and discussed. They tend to get a lot of the attention – not to mention marketing dollars. But your irons are to your golf game what your engine is to your car. They may not be the first thing you see, but good luck getting where you’re going on the golf course without the right ones. Your irons are the most versatile clubs in your bag. And like popping the hood on an automobile,…
