When it comes to electric golf caddies, Stewart Golf makes some of the best in the business. But they’re not exactly cheap. Fortunately, the team over there was willing to hook up Breaking Eighty readers with a Stewart Golf coupon code to make buying one of their push carts a little bit easier on your wallet. Use the code “BREAKING-EIGHTY” to save 5% on any electric caddies they sell. Check out their full line up here. In my experience, they’ve also seemed to keep this code active during any sales they’re doing – which at times can result in a…

It took a grand total of 7 days into 2025 to see our first major shakeup in the golf launch monitor world, and it’s a big one. Foresight (and subsequently Bushnell, who is owned by Foresight) has just completely changed their lineup of launch monitors. And, I’m not so sure everyone is going to be happy. What is the Foresight GC3s? What about the Bushnell LPi? And why do you get a rangefinder when you buy the GC3 or GC3s? I’m going to answer all of these questions and more, and help you figure out if one of these devices is the…

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…

Hybrids, utility clubs, rescue clubs — by whatever name you want to use, for many golfers, these clubs could be called life savers. Of all the innovations in golf over the past few decades — and there have been a lot of them when you think in terms of equipment, balls, push carts, electric push carts, affordable golf launch monitors, rangefinders, golf watches, and on and on — the hybrid golf club may have had the biggest impact on the most golfers. These tools have become indispensable in pretty much every golf bag nowadays. Some players carry just one. Others…

Let’s face it: golf push carts have come a long way. From the two-wheeled pull cart trolleys you still occasionally see at your local muni, to full-on remote control caddies that whisk your clubs across the course – there are a lot of options out there. I’ll be honest, I’m an unabashed push cart user. I have no shame in it, either. There was a time when you might get mocked by your friends for using one, but at least from my perspective, those days are mostly gone. Junior players, teens, middle-agers, and yes, older golfers, are all getting in on the…

Traditionally, if you wanted to get a distance on the golf course, your best bet is to have a laser rangefinder. But there is, of course, another option for getting your distances – and we’re not talking sprinkler heads. Golf watches are the stealthy, practical alternative to rangefinders, and many golfers find them to be preferable. Why? The best golf watches include comfort, performance, simplicity, and even style – and some of them can even cost less than your typical rangefinder. For some golfers, GPS golf watches beat the cumbersome and time-consuming routine of pulling out a rangefinder each time you want…

Every once in a while, a golf product crosses my path that makes me stop and think, “Why does this exist?” That’s exactly how I felt when I got my hands on the Canon PowerShot Golf Rangefinder. It’s a mix of a laser rangefinder and a camera—a combo I didn’t see coming. As someone who has reviewed countless golf gadgets, I had to find out if this hybrid device was a stroke of genius or just something unnecessary. Spoiler: it’s a little bit of both. First Impressions of the Canon Powershot Golf For the last 5 years I’ve used Canon…

These days, I’ve got music going during most of the rounds of golf I play. I’m a casual golfer. I mean, I golf a lot. But casually. I very rarely play tournaments, there are usually a couple beers involved, and aside from my duties reviewing products for Breaking Eighty, my whole goal with golf is to have fun. And music helps with that. I get it, music on the golf course isn’t for everyone. But if you’re a fan of Breaking Eighty, chances are you don’t take things too seriously, and you also enjoy some tunes on the course. So today we’re…

Choosing the best golf wedges for your game is a very personal thing. Your wedges by far give you the greatest opportunity to be creative on the golf course. Flight it high way over a tree limb? Keep it low and get it to check. Flop, chip, pitch? Having a wedge that inspires confidence and fits the type of player you are is one of the single best tools you can have in your golf arsenal. After all, they’re called the “scoring clubs” for a reason. Today, we’re going to help you figure out the right wedges for your individual game.…

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…
