So you’ve decided you want a smart rangefinder. You want laser distances when you need the exact number, and GPS yardages right there in the viewfinder. You’ve narrowed it down to two: the Bushnell Tour Hybrid and the Blue Tees Captain Pro. Good news. They’re both excellent. I’ve put real rounds in with each of them, and either one would make most golfers very happy. But here’s the thing: they do the same job in completely different ways. And one of them costs $200 less at retail. So which one should you buy? Let’s break it down. My Quick Verdict:…

For the past two years, when someone asked me “what rangefinder should I get?” the answer was easy: the Voice Caddie TL1. Premium laser, beautiful display, and at the special $279 reader price, nothing else came close. Done. Next question. Then the Blue Tees Captain Pro showed up at the 2026 PGA Show, and for the first time in a while, I had to actually think about it. Because on paper, the Captain Pro is the TL1’s worst nightmare: similar optics, a nearly identical price after the Blue Tees discount code, and then a whole pile of GPS and smart…

Two rangefinders. Same $499 price tag. Both are chasing the exact same idea: put a laser and GPS into a single device so you’re not juggling a watch, a phone app, and a rangefinder all at once. And both of them are genuinely good at it. But that’s about where the similarities stop. Because the Bushnell Tour Hybrid and the Mileseey GenePro G1 have basically opposite ideas about what a do-it-all rangefinder should be. One strips the concept down to the simplest possible version of itself. The other packs in everything including, almost literally, the kitchen sink. So which approach…

I’d never heard of the Hyperice Venom 2 Back before a trip to Pine Valley this Spring. One of the other golfers in my group was wearing it before and after every round. He swore by it. I raised an eyebrow, noted the name, and moved on. Also, Venom? Talk about an aggressive name ha. Over the next two weeks, I saw three more people wearing one pre-round at various courses. Four people in two weeks is a trend. I needed to try this thing. So I got my hands on the Venom 2 Back, along with the more expensive Hyperice…

I don’t know that I’ve ever reviewed a golf product that arrived at my door looking so completely different than what I was expecting as this new Sunday Carry bag from Vessel. I expected a golf bag. What showed up looked like a shoe bag or large Dopp kit. I honestly was completely confused at first. That’s not a complaint. In fact, once I figured out what I was actually looking at, the Vessel Sunday Carry turned into one of the more interesting and impressive bags I’ve reviewed in recent memory. It’s definitely not going to be an everyday golf…

If you’re like me, you’re very familiar with going out to practice after a lesson, trying to work on the thing your coach told you to fix, and walking away with no idea if you were actually doing it right. Without setting up a camera and getting personalized feedback every single session, it can be seriously difficult to know whether your practice is moving the needle or just reinforcing the same bad habits. That’s the problem the HackMotion 4 is built to solve. It’s the brand’s fourth-generation swing tracker, and it’s designed to identify and fix flaws in your swing…

My honest first reaction when I learned that Garmin was releasing a golf watch just for kids was, “Do we actually need this?” But after spending time with the Garmin J1 out on the course and thinking through how I’d want to be golfing with my now-5-year-old daughter in a few years, the answer might actually be yes. I’m not saying it’s a no-brainer. And at $300, I’m definitely not saying it makes sense for everybody. But for the right situations, this is actually a very interesting product – which isn’t surprising considering it’s coming from Garmin. So, should you…

For a long time, if you traveled with golf clubs and wanted to do it right, the answer was Club Glove. It’s been the premium choice brand for serious travelers and the name that always came to mind first for me when people would ask what to buy. But it’s 2026. There are more golf travel bag brands than ever, and a lot of them are putting out genuinely good products for considerably less money. So the question worth asking is, with all of those alternatives out there, is Club Glove still worth the price? And not just the travel…

Finding the perfect Father’s Day gift for the golfer in your life shouldn’t be this hard. But between the endless gear drops, the marketing hype, and trying to figure out what he actually needs versus what he already has, it can feel overwhelming. That’s where I come in. I’ve spent years testing and reviewing the best golf products on the market, and every year around Father’s Day, I put together a curated list of the gifts I’d actually want to receive, or that I’ve already given to the golfers in my own life. Whether your dad is a tech obsessive,…

Save 20% off B. Draddy with the code “BREAKING” B. Draddy isn’t a name everyone knows yet, and that’s part of what makes them interesting. This is a brand that quietly makes some of the best golf apparel on the market, using materials and construction quality you’d expect from something twice the price, and it just hasn’t gotten the mainstream attention it deserves. The brand is built around long-staple organic Peruvian Pima cotton, which sounds like marketing speak until you actually hold one of their pieces. It’s softer than you’d expect, with a bit of natural stretch, and it gets…
