Polymer grips aren't a new thing anymore, since the Winn Grip company introduced them in a big way a few years ago. And it only follows that, with the success of one company, others will follow. Karakal Golf Grips began to turn up worldwide ...

Whether your tastes run to classic literature, 1960s space exploration, or the movies, you've no doubt heard, seen or read the name Apollo. Most commonly associated with the Greek god of light and music, the name evokes celestial thoughts for most of us. In addition to ...

Golf shafts are perhaps the most misunderstood component of a golf club -- at least by the average golfer. Think about it -- what is the connection between your hands and the head of the golf club? It's the shaft, of course. It is the "engine" of the ...

Have you ever wondered how many golf gloves are consumed in the United States every year? By one estimate, there are approximately 10 million golfers in the U.S. -- if each uses only TWO gloves per year, that's 20 million golf gloves. While many golfers use a ...

I love these Project X Flighted shafts. You build your set so that each club in the set has a unique kick point. The longer irons have a lower kick point so the ball gets up quick and flies further, while the shorter irons have a higher ...

These Rifle Project X shafts are step-less. It's a smooth taper that looks like it could bring down an elk at 500 yards -- or at least a par 5. Project X shafts are used in many of the Titleist irons and have a softer feel ...

Forget "To be or not to be?" ...

"Graphite or Steel?" That is the question.

The main thing to consider is weight vs. control. Graphite shafts are less than half the weight of steel, and you naturally swing faster and achieve more distance. Of course, you faster swingers don't necessarily ...

I suppose you've heard the old adage that your shaft is the engine of your golf club. There is a lot of truth to that. The best swing can be stymied by a shaft that doesn't fit.

The main thing to consider is the flex. Flex is ...

These are your tried-and-true (no pun intended) True Temper Dynamic Gold shaft, only with a high launch point and a Sensicore shaft. The idea is to replicate the feel and trajectory of graphite without giving up the control and feel you are accustomed to with steel.

At this ...

True Temper with Sensicore -- it sounds like a good title for Rory Sabatini's autobiography. Although, I don't now that anybody would buy it. However, this isn't a story of a bratty golfer -- it's the most popular steel shaft with a dampening system.

The True Temper Dynamic Gold standard ...

To call these shafts "steel" is a bit of a stretch. There's no way True Temper could get steel shafts down to a feather-light 75 grams. These shafts are lighter than Paris Hilton on a fast. They are lighter than a helium balloon on the moon. ...

True Temper is the brand that has been bringing you steel shafts for almost a hundred years. The company that would become True Temper invented the steel shaft in the 1920s. It was a huge change from the old hickory shafts of the Brassie and the ...

Matt Kucher put Aero-Tech on the map when he started playing their shafts in 2008. He's the only PGA Tour player that plays graphite shafts in his irons. As the story goes, he was frustrated with his game when he noticed his dad playing these steel fiber ...

If you haven't noticed these shafts before -- well, you're just not paying attention. True Temper Dynamic Gold shafts are the number one shaft on the PGA Tour. They are also the number one shaft everywhere else -- including the moon. (Don't quote me on ...

Bright colors are showing up everywhere these days, from bright red Yankees caps to the nearly neon orange outfits worn by Rickie Fowler on the PGA Tour. Putter grips (indeed, ALL grip types) are not immune to this trend, and leading the charge in this category is the IOMIC putter ...

I'm an equipment junkie. There, I said it. Have been ever since I discovered golf more than 20 years ago. With the endless possibilities of head, shaft, and grip, there is virtually no limit to what can be created in a golf club. I've built ...

Range finders come in all shapes, sizes, and price tags -- from Bushnell, Nikon, and other big names -- to the nearly throw-away units from manufacturers you've never heard of. The Quick Shot Rangefinder from Laser Link is a fairly easy-to-use device that was designed by golfers, for golfers. ...

The music starts. "I hear, that jingle-jangle-jingle..." It clatters in time with your walk. You wince every time you hear that dull clack and clank. Your driver (yes, the one you spent good money on) is rattling against your other clubs. You could use this ...

At the writing of this blog, the 2011 Masters just came to a close. It was the 75th annual Masters won by South African Charl Schwartzel in one of the most competitive Masters ever. If you're a golf geek like me, you didn't miss a day of ...

Buying a golf club without understanding the shaft is like buying a car without understanding the engine. The shaft is the most important part of the golf club, and lucky for us, they come in all different shapes, weights, and sizes. If you just learned to drive but ...

Light and heavy are the two words I would use to describe the elements that make this Nippon NS Pro 1150 GH Tour Iron Shaft a popular choice. This may sound contradictory, but let me explain.

Light: I would classify this shaft in the semi-lightweight steel shaft department. Nippon achieves ...

Diamana series shafts are the core of Mitsubishi's line. These shafts have been used by tour pros Tiger Woods, Ryuji Imada, and Lorena Ochoa. That's not a bad endorsement.

The biggest reason they are played by premier players is because Mitsubishi puts a lot of work to ensure ...

This Diamana series is the Mitsubishi's foremost shaft. The shaft speaks for itself. "Hello, I am the White Board Shaft. Tiger Woods has played me. Any questions?"

Perhaps you do have a few more questions; therefore, I shall elaborate. The White Board shaft is designed ...

I bet I can add yardage to your tee shot without ever seeing your swing. It's simple: Tee your golf ball up higher. To get the best advantage with our huge modern-day drivers, you've got to get the ball up off of the ground.

This is a pet ...

This is a compact hitting mat that is great for just about anywhere. I like to throw it in my trunk and have it ready to go wherever I am. For example, take a 15-minute break from work and tee it up in the office parking lot. ...

I was just telling my dad we need to get a golf mat to hit golf balls off his balcony. He lives on the fifth floor of an ocean condo. He wasn't keen on the idea, mumbling something about condo associations and rules... Blah, blah, blah. He ...

This thing is a little creepy. It's a head cover designed as the likeness of Ian Poulter. "Who's Ian Poulter?" you ask. He's the stylish English golfer that won the 2010 World Championship Match Play event on the PGA Tour. If you watch any golf ...

Have you ever been to those swanky dinner parties where everybody is walking around with charms on their wine glasses? You haven't? Me neither. (But I saw one on television.) And I'll tell you what I learned -- Rich people hate it when somebody ...

This remote control beer pager is the best invention I've seen since the… well.. since the remote control. (In fact, I'm amazed that this wasn't the very next thing invented right after the remote control.) I'm pretty sure I invented this clever thing many years ago. ...

This is a great device for you golfers that are still in love with your cherished 1979 rusted-out pitching wedge. It's a groove sharpener, re-grooving tool that will turn that outdated thing back to its original form.

The tool works on both U grooves and V grooves. ...

Here's a gizmo for you "type A" golfers. Although, I'm sure you already have your own way of finding the sweet spot on your golf ball. Some of the guys I play with are so anal that they throw away a golf ball after one hole. I can ...

Here's a gadget for you golf addicts that refuse to let bad weather keep you away from the links. This Coleman Golf Cart Heater fits in a cup holder in your golf cart and pumps out 3000 BTU's of heat. It's perfectly safe, as it's completely ...

Calling all lazy people! This gadget is for you. Practice your putting without ever having to bend over to pick up your golf ball out of the cup. This reminds me of that thing you put on your basketball hoop to practice your free throws. ...

I like this glove for the money. The quality is really nice, and of course Callaway always makes a good product. Let's take a close look at this glove.

The first thing that jumps out at you is Callaway's familiar "X" logo printed on the backhand. This ...

Here's a glove designed for those of you with big hands and small fingers. This describes one of my best golf buddies. He is always complaining that he has to buy large gloves, but there is too much room in the fingers. Callaway addresses this problem ...

"Hey, yuse guys. Tink da Yankees are gonna win da pennant? Jeets is gonna have another wicked yeah and A-Rod is da man… Ay - faggettabout it!"

It pains me to write this review on this sharp-looking Yankees baseball cap. The thing about the ...

My buddy Dino was sporting a pair of cool sunglasses last Sunday on the golf course that looked almost exactly like these, only they had an "O" on the side. I'm thinking that stood for Oakley.

This style is what I would call "Race Car Driver Black" and is ...

Well the name doesn't lie, this glove is very soft! When you put this glove on it's like putting on your favorite pair of driving gloves. (You have driving gloves, no? For driving your Rolls Royce?)

The glove is made of Taction Cabretta Leather by Pittards of England. ...

There's a new kid in town in the golf grip world. And this company, Black Widow, is not afraid to be a little different, either. This golf grip definitely stands out. It's the Black Widow! (Cue scary music.) “Dunn Dunnn Dunnn!” This is a creative take to a ...

I like to re-grip my clubs at least once a year. Grips wear down naturally from many different factors like ozone, heat and cold, and oils from your hands. It's extremely important to keep your grips in good shape, because a good grip will allow you to hold ...

Want to add 5 yards to your golf game? No, this isn't a review of a new gargantuan driver that is shaped like a toaster oven. You need to change your golf grips. Worn golf grips cause you to grip the club tighter, and gripping ...

Looks like Winn has changed the playing ground when it comes to grips. Want to add quick distance to your golf game? Changing to these grips may actually give you longer, higher ball flight. These WinnLite grips will actually change your ball flight because they are ...

Question: What's the only part of your golf club that comes into contact with your body? If you said "the clubhead," than you may want to take up another sport. The answer, of course, is the grip. This is why it is important that ...

These Zero Friction Performance golf tees are designed to give you more distance because there is less resistance than you encounter using a traditional tee. This tee has 3 prongs which hold the ball up.

I bet you didn't know that those old traditional tees that you've ...

Golf grips are like the tires on your car. You would never drive around on bald, worn tires, now would you? Why are you still swinging those nasty golf grips? Time to get a new set -- and you are not going to believe how ...

I bet I can take strokes off of your score without ever seeing your golf swing. That's right -- you need to re-grip your golf clubs. This may be one of the most overlooked and easy fixes of anything in your golf game. But ...

This permanent golf tee is magnetic. I like the concept, but when I put it in my pocket, all of my darn ball markers keep sticking to it!

I must give this product credit because it's the first permanent tee that I reviewed where they actually just ...

I'm not sure what a black widow spider and a golf grip have in common. I guess this metaphor is in reference to the grabbing abilities of a tacky spider web instead of the better-known traits of this cannibalistic insect. Or maybe it's just that Black Widow's ...

If you are shopping around for shafts, then I will assume you know more than the average bear. And you've stumbled across a player's shaft. These Graphite Design Tour shafts are really nice, but not for the novice.

The YSQ shafts are really cool and were designed for ...

I usually make fun of these gimmicky tees, but this one is legit. I never believe the ads, and I always do the research -- and this one holds up. This Epoch tee was introduced on the PGA tour in 2004, and since then has ...
