Trying to find the best golf balls for your game can be a nightmare. There are hundreds of golf ball reviews out there that all say different things, and let’s face it, for most golfers you can barely tell the difference between a ProV1 and a Top Flite. Ok, that might be a bit of an exaggeration, but it’s true that choosing a golf ball can be a bit of a shot in the dark for most people. The goal of this post is to help take some of the mystery out of finding the right golf ball, and to help you…

Shot Scope is one of those golf brands that people either love or they feel doesn’t quite deliver enough. And their V5 golf watch is the perfect case study for those differing opinions. “Value” and “Quality” are the two overarching considerations, it seems, for golfers who find themselves on either side of the Shot Scope debate. Those who love Shot Scope proclaim its value as exceptional, unparalleled, the best in golf. And, as we’ll get into in this review, there’s a definite strong value case to be made for the V5. And those who aren’t quite onboard with Shot Scope…
For all the golf travel I’ve done, you’d think I’d be intimately familiar with golf in Florida. Considering there are more golf courses here than any other state in the country – it’s a golf writer’s mecca right? Maybe so, but compared to other states my Florida repertoire is sorely lacking. As such, it wasn’t until recently that I visited Palm Beach. I wasn’t prepared for just what that would look like. There’s affluent. Rich. Wealthy. Ultra Wealthy. And then there’s Palm Beach. It’s a new level of money I’ve never quite seen before. And just a few minutes across…
Looking for a Shot Scope coupon code? Use code “BREAKINGEIGHTY” to save 15%! Over the last few years Shot Scope has carved out a pretty enviable niche for itself in the golf space. Their primary focus is performance-tracking golf sensors, and they’ve done a number of things that set them apart from their competition. First off: price. Shot Scope is the least expensive performance tracking system we’d actually recommend, coming in at a much lower price than both Arccos and Garmin. And the best part? There’s no annual subscription either. To go along with that, their flagship V3 system is…
By this point, if you’re into golf, you probably know someone or at least know of someone who has a golf simulator in their home. The idea of a home golf simulator used to be the stuff of science fiction. Now, it’s becoming an increasingly common reality for more and more golfers. Why? First, it’s because today’s golf launch monitors are incredibly accurate and capable of producing shot data so good that it can be used to play very realistic simulator golf. And second, it’s because the affordability of these products has gotten to the point where you now have…
It’s been 5 years since the FlightScope Mevo Plus was first announced. In that time they’ve rolled out some major updates to that unit – but there hasn’t been a new product from the company since then. So to see them roll out their new i4 rangefinder? It’s really exciting. But should it be? What is the FlightScope i4 rangefinder, and why does it cost $499? Is it game-changing tech or another distraction from the the things you need to be doing to really improve your golf game? Let’s dig into it. What is the FlightScope i4 Rangefinder? About 4 years ago,…
There are few brands in golf that have the momentum that Payntr has right now. They’re finding the rare balance of comfort, performance, and style in their golf shoes that you don’t often see from a company that’s barely 5 years old. But they’re doing it, and people are starting to notice. Especially with the recent release of their Jason Day collab the Eighty Seven SC – which is the boldest shoe they’ve made yet. And the good news for you, is that the team over there has been kind enough to hook up Breaking Eighty readers with a coupon…
For the last two years I’ve been using the Bushnell Launch Pro as my reference golf simulator for my reviews. Why? Because it’s the most accurate launch monitor I own. But as most people know, the Bushnell Launch Pro is simply a rebranded Foresight GC3 unit. Up until recently, I’d never used a GC3, so I couldn’t accurately tell you if one was better than the other. But now that I’ve got my hands on a GC3 and have put it through its paces, I’ve got lots of thoughts. In this Foresight GC3 review I’m going to cover everything you…
Last year I reviewed the Uneekor Eye Mini, and generally came away really impressed. It was accurate, had a great feature set, and frankly, I personally preferred using it more than the more popular Bushnell Launch Pro. So when they announced at the 2024 PGA Show that they were releasing the Eye Mini Lite, I got really excited. The concept? Take the same tracking system as the Eye Mini, but remove the built-in screen and a few of the extra features – and then sell it for a much more affordable price. I’ve finally got my hands on a device,…
