Clubs
Drivers, irons, wedges, putters. We compared them. The launch videos can sit this one out.
Is a $600 Scotty still the putter to buy?
I wanted to know if LAB’s zero-torque thing is the real story — or if craftsmanship still wins at this price.
Vessel or Sunday? I cared about the walk, not the lookbook.
Two premium carry bags that sell a lifestyle. I compared straps, pockets, and whether I would still like it on hole 13.
TSR2 or Stealth 2 fairway? Off the turf is the only test I trust.
Two fairway woods that sell versatility. I compared the tight lie, not the launch monitor screenshot.
MCC or Crossline? I cared about the 15th hole, not the first.
Two grips everyone has used. I compared them wet, worn, and after a cart-path morning.
RTX6 or Jaws Raw? I wanted spin after the third week, not day one.
Two Vokey alternatives that sell the face. I compared what is left when the grooves are no longer new.
Oakley or Rudy? I wanted to see the shot, not the logo.
Golf sunglasses as a tool. I compared glare, fit, and whether I would still wear them on hole 16.
i530 or King Tour? Tour-inspired is not a tour iron.
Two irons that want to look smaller than they play. I compared the miss, not the badge.
Launcher XL2 or Big Bertha? I wanted the one that stays in the fairway.
Game-improvement drivers. The launch video can sit this one out. I compared the miss.
Blueprint T or Pro 221? If you need help, stop reading.
Two pure players irons. I compared turf and a thin one. That is the whole review.
T200 or P790? Mid-handicap distance is a crowded room.
I wanted to know which one still looks like an iron at address when you are tired of game-improvement.
I didn’t need a new putter. I needed to know if the classic still holds.
White Hot OG versus a Special Select. No zero-torque pitch. Just two old ideas that still show up in good bags.
I wanted the driver that survives a miss. Not the one in the ad.
G440 Max versus Aerojet Max. Forgiveness is the brief. Everything else is chrome.
P790 or Apex Pro? Distance players irons still have to be irons.
The hollow-body argument. I compared the miss and whether the click is a dealbreaker.
Studio Style or OZ.1? Stability is the brief. The rest is branding.
Two high-MOI putters that want to stay square. I ignored the pedigree and asked which one actually does.
Mezz.1 or Toulon? I wanted to know if the insert still matters.
Physics-first LAB versus Odyssey’s tour-craft story. Same price neighborhood. Different religion.
Vokey or Ping S159? I cared about the wet Tuesday, not the grind chart.
Shot-making versus a wedge that still spins when the turf is ugly. That is the actual fork.
Qi10 LS or Elyte? Low spin is a fitting, not a personality.
Two low-spin drivers that will punish the wrong swing. I said that first.
G430 or ZX5? I wanted help that still looks like an iron.
Ping’s forgiveness versus Srixon’s idea of a game-improvement cavity. I compared the thin one.
Ai-ONE or Bettinardi? I do not buy putters for the press release.
An AI insert versus milled steel. I compared the roll, not the algorithm.
Spider Tour or Ping PLD? Tour count is not a fitting.
One is the mallet you see on TV. One is the milled one people buy when they are done with TV.
ZX7 or T150? I wanted a players cavity, not a slogan.
Srixon’s compact cavity versus Titleist’s in-between iron. I compared who each one is actually for.
Carbon face or the Titleist? I wanted the one that stays in play.
Stealth 2 versus GT2. Distance story versus a tighter miss. That is the fork.
Phantom or Evnroll? Groove stories do not hole the putt.
A tour mallet versus a groove pitch. I compared them as mallets I would actually stand over.
T100 or JPX 925 Forged? Feel is not a personality test.
Players irons for people who will notice a thin one. I compared the miss and the turf, not the forging poem.
Qi10 or Ai Smoke? I stopped reading the launch videos.
TaylorMade and Callaway have been trading the same driver argument for years. I wanted the version that still works on a miss.
Newport 2 or DF3? They are not even having the same argument.
A blade that sells feel versus a putter that sells physics. I compared them as two different jobs.
Pro 243 or PXG 0317 T? Compact is not the same as better.
Two small heads for people who will notice a miss. I compared feel and the price argument.
King F9 or Rogue ST? I cared about the ball sitting down.
Fairway woods that have to work off the deck. I compared that shot, not the tee shot in the ad.
Apex or i530? I wanted help without a cavity the size of a dinner plate.
Forged-ish feel versus Ping’s idea of a players-distance iron. I compared the miss.
