1. Titleist TSR 2
Sure, it looks like a driver you’d find in the trunk of the Batmobile, but the new Titleist TSR 2 is designed to rescue gamers who miss the right spot from time to time. The designers introduced an additional assist with variable thickness across the entire face of the space-class Titanic to increase ball speeds through the area of impact. Weight is placed low and forward for more speed, as well as a high tee and low spin, so the golfer should have no problem leading the other players in the group.

Hitting greens in regulation is one of the keys to lower scores in golf. To keep players’ approach shots online, PXG has loaded the forged heads of their Gen 5 irons with a lighter and faster XCOR2 material. The designers then took the weight savings and redistributed the mass outside the club for more MOI tolerance, so slag didn’t fall off-target and well-hit shots ended up in birdie range. Honestly, these are the best irons we’ve ever played with. a point.

3. Compex Sport Elite 3.0 Muscle Stimulator

But between a run session and a walking session, the athlete does more than 100 flips and complete hoofs over five miles of trail with a 25-pound bag on his back. Muscles can get tired and sore. For convenience, the Compex Sport Elite 3.0 Muscle Stimulator uses both electronic muscle stimulation and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation technologies to reduce recovery times and relieve pain.

5. Bushnell Pro XE Range Finder
Aside from bats and balls, one of the most important tools on the course is a laser rangefinder and the Bushnell Pro XE is the gold standard. With point-and-click simplicity, the Pro XE vibrates when it locks on a pin and shows the actual distance, plus an adjusted one for changing elevation. Of course this feature is not legal in tournament competition, so players can disable it with a lock key slide. The Pro XE is accurate to one yard, even at distances over 600 yards, is fully waterproof and users can also switch between red and black readouts on the finder. When it’s time to shoot, players can use a BITE magnet to stick it to their cart. Unlike many imitators, it won’t fall off before you get to the next tee.

When we saw Justin Thomas walk down the aisle in the Presidents Cup in his premiere of the FootJoys series, we immediately put them on our wish list.

Full-grain leather with detailing in calfskin gives a classic look, while custom-fit OrthoLite ecoplush cushioning keeps feet cool during long walks around the court. Plus, it’s customizable, so you can dial in your player’s appearance.

Winters in colder climates can mean a hole off the course. But with the PrimePutt Putting Mat, your golfer can take their time keeping their putts fluid. The half-inch-thick turf is quickly sawn and backed with an angled nut that prevents missed kicks from derailing their next attempt. The plastic cups hold up to four balls, so the player can keep building muscle memory for longer and the lawn rolls around 10-12 on the stimulus meter, which is much faster than the rug rolled downstairs.

Clinch touch golf glove Courtesy image
10. Clinch Touch Golf Glove
Most golf gloves are made from leather, which is great for keeping blisters out while still feeling great. But leather traps moisture, loses its grip in the rain, and can wear out quickly if not taken care of properly. The Cinch Tactile Glove uses a combination of what the company calls CrushGroove fabric and poly-spandex for flexibility, enhanced breathability, and a glue-like grip. Clinch also says the touch glove can last up to twice as long as regular golf gloves. While we’d prefer everyone to leave their phone in their bag while on tour, you can text without taking it off. But please do so in moderation and help keep up the pace of play.
