When you think of Vessel golf bags, you probably think of premium design, high-end materials, and price tags to match. That’s what makes the Vessel Lux Air so interesting. It’s not only the lightest full-featured bag in the lineup, it also happens to be the most affordable. That combination alone makes it worth a closer look. A lighter Vessel bag at a lower price point sounds almost too good to be true. But does it really deliver where it counts? I’ll break down what works, what doesn’t, and how the Lux Air compares to other bags out there. Let’s see…

Here are some of the things I mention in this video.

Last month, I did my first Nike review in years. Growing up in Oregon, it’s nearly impossible not to be a fan. But they’d lost their way for a few years. However, as I declared in my review of the Infinity Tour Next% 2 shoes, they’re making their way back. For the first time in a long time, I’ve been excited for new releases and excited to see where they’re going. The Victory Pro 4 is the next example of that. Not only are some of the newest Nike golf shoes on the market, but they’re worn by none other…

Every once in a while, something comes along in the golf world that makes me stop and think, “Okay… this could actually change things.” That was me a few months ago at the PGA Show, when I first heard about GolfN. At first, I thought it was just another golf GPS app. I’ve tried plenty of those, and while a few stick around on my phone, most don’t. But then they said the magic words: “It pays you to play golf.” Immediately, red flags go off. How could this work? How do they make money? Is this a scam? I’m…

There’s nothing sexy to report here. No breakthrough tech. No “game-changing” features. Honestly, not much to talk about at all — and that’s exactly why it’s worth talking about. The Dart 2.0 is a $65 Bluetooth speaker. That’s it. And for plenty of golfers, that’s all they want. A lot of us like having music on the course. And a lot of us don’t like spending more than we have to on accessories. That’s called a match. Here’s what you get with the Dart 2.0: Straightforward design, dependable function, and a price that makes it easy to say yes. No…

Over the last five years, I’ve tested more than 50 pairs of golf shoes. Some have been solid performers. Others… Well, let’s just say they didn’t exactly make me eager to walk 18. But a handful have stood out for one very specific reason: pure, unbridled comfort. I’m talking about that “walking on air” feeling. The kind of pillow-like cushioning that makes you forget you’re even wearing golf shoes. That’s what we’re covering today. Are these the best golf shoes on the market? Not necessarily. Comfort is just one piece of the puzzle, and I’ll share a few caveats with…

Over the past year or so I’ve started doing a lot more traveling with golf clubs. And we’re not talking throw them in the back of the car and head out for a long weekend a few hours away. Since I started this top 100 quest I’ve been flying all over the world playing top 100 golf clubs – and I needed a golf travel bag that would live up to the constant abuse I’ve been throwing at it. Up until recently, I’d been using the Tour Trek GTS 3 bag, which I bought before my first trip last year.…

Golf launch monitors have gotten dramatically better and cheaper, despite that choosing the right one has only gotten more difficult. The best device for an indoor garage simulator can be the wrong choice for outdoor range practice. And subscriptions can turn a cheap purchase into an expensive one. I’ve spent hundreds of hours testing these products. Mevo Gen 2 is my overall pick for most people, Launch Pro is my personal favorite, and Square Omni is what I’d buy for GSPro. At November’s price, EYE MINI also deserves a close look, and if you’re on a serious budget, the Blue…

If there’s a G/FORE golf shoe out there, chances are I’ve worn it. Gallivanter? Yup. MG4+? Definitely. MG4x2? Still in the rotation. But for some reason, the G.112 kept slipping through the cracks. And honestly? That was a mistake. I’ve always liked how they look — sleek, a little sporty, casual in a good way. But I had this nagging suspicion they might not hold up as a serious golf shoe. Maybe too much fashion, not enough function. Turns out, I had it completely backwards. After putting seven rounds on these over the last month, I can say it plainly:…

Garmin’s made square watches before. But never like this. The Venu X1 is the first time they’ve gone full flagship with a squared-off form factor. And it’s the closest thing to an Apple Watch I’ve ever tried from Garmin. Just as importantly, the new Venu X1 is one of the best Garmin fitness watches I’ve ever worn. And one of the best golf watches, too. Not only that, but it’s got what is unquestionably Garmin’s best-ever screen. There’s a lot to cover. I’ve been wearing the Venu X1 for two weeks straight. On the course, on runs, while sleeping. In…
