Even the world's best players use training aids in their practice. Whether it be getting their wrists or arms in the right position, getting the best grip, or working on facets like alignment, consistency and feedback, there are a multitude of training aids out there to help the best players in the world, and you can use them too. After doing some research on some of the aids used by players like Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood, I figured it best to pick out those products, let you know how they help, and where you can get them.

We start with the TRS Slider which is used out on Tour, and designed by, Robert Rock. It consists of a durable seat belt-style strap that connects the golfer’s torso to the trail elbow. The point of this is to teach the body and arms to work in unison which will therefore create a better backswing and swing structure. It will especially help those with a flying elbow which can be a destructive fault in the swing.

Next I picked out the ProSendr training aid which has been used by Rory McIlroy. It is a device designed to place golfers' wrists into the optimal level of extension to deliver the golf club effectively into the ball more consistently. Simply place it on the trail wrist and then hinge both wrists so they sit in the prefabricated cradle, which should provide neutral wrist conditions.

We also have the humble training grip which is used by world number one Scottie Scheffler, so it must be useful right? It is as simple as it gets being a moulded grip that ensures you place your hands on the club in the same way each time. Such an effective tool and very affordable as well.

Another Rory McIlroy training aid here is Sure Golf's Connector. This is a green device with rods protruding that help golfers sync their arms and body correctly in order to create a more effective golf swing and cleaner contact with the ball. Additionally McIlroy himself said that he uses the tool to improve his wrist position in the backswing.

Tommy Fleetwood next and he uses the Swing Plane Perfector because it gives him visual feedback of what “on plane” looks like as he practices. Put simply it is a device he uses in which he sticks an alignment stick in, lines that up with the angle of his shaft, and then he can see what on plane for him.

Finally I picked out a good putting mirror as well which is a device used by a lot of the world's best players to help their putting in terms of alignment and feedback. Trust me, head to a professional event and you will undoubtedly see a few of these on the practice putting green.

Sun Day Red is renowned as one of the best designer golf apparel brands on the market. The brand is Tiger Woods' official apparel and lifestyle brand, and Woods works alongside a dedicated team of designers to bring the collections to life.

Tiger translates his personal insights, performance needs, and strict preferences into the brand's apparel and footwear, and the quality, performance and attention to detail across the range is stunning.

Sun Day Red is rarely discounted and has just launched its Season End Sale. There are huge bargains of up to 50% off. However, sizes are limited on some items and selling fast. So we'd suggest snapping them up while you can, as like all the best golf deals, once they're gone, they're gone.

Golf fashion has changed rapidly over the last few years with more and more brands offering not only the classic styles, but also apparel and shoes to suit the more casual golfer, or the golfer who wants more versatility from their gear. Shoes in particular have become more casual, eye-catching and comfortable, without compromising on the performance we would actually need on the golf course. Instead brands have sought to achieve this, as well as make shoes that can be used off the course, which is the focus of this piece.

As the Golf Monthly shoe tester, I have been lucky enough to try out a lot of different shoes over the last few years, and I mean A LOT. As such I have collated my six favorite models right now that work on the golf course, but also off it, whether that be to the office, to the pub, and everything in between. With the six below, I have also sought to tick off several different price points as well so there is a shoe for everyone, ranging from the excellent value Puma Fusion Classic, to my personal favorites, the Sun Day Red Osprey shoes.

For those of you unaware, there are a boatload of golf apparel brands to know about in 2026 and one of those is most certainly Seve Collection, which pays homage to the iconic Spanish golfer Severiano Ballesteros.

The brand has recently unveiled its 2026 collection which has every apparel element catered for, from tops, to shorts to accessories like caps and belts.

I recently got my hands on some of the top pieces from the brand and the quality is excellent, offering a comfortable fit and feel. Not to mention they look great as well, in some cases both on and off the golf course. Navy blues feature throughout as do whites, greens, greys and the occasional bit of khaki.

(I didn't get it in my package but I definitely need to get my hands on the Knitted Sweater just below because that looks sublime in navy blue. It has a history too being inspired by the sweater Seve wore during his legendary 1984 Open victory at St Andrews.) Regardless I've picked out some of my absolute favorite pieces from the collection below and where you can buy them.

One of the best golf hybrids we've ever tested is the Ping G430 Hybrid, a club that not only scored an impressive 4.5 out of 5-star review, but also grabbed a much-coveted spot in the Golf Monthly Editors' Choice listings.

Right now, at Dick's Sporting Goods, you can pick up the G430 model with a 13% discount, reduced to $259 from $299, which is one of the cheapest prices we've ever seen on this brilliantly versatile club.

Grab the Ping G430 Hybrid for just $239 at Dick's Sporting Goods.

In his review, Sam De'Ath praised the G430 for upholding Ping’s reputation as a leader in forgiving, versatile hybrids. He noted that the G430 model packed in signature Ping quality, delivering sleek, attractive aesthetics paired with performance that genuinely elevates your game.

For UK golfers, Clubhouse Golf has the G430 reduced to just £209, from £295, a huge 29% saving. However, there are limited choices on loft, shaft and shaft flex.

A hybrid club can offer distinct performance advantages over long irons or fairway woods. They saw plenty of action in the 154th Open Championship at Royal Birkdale, helping players cut through the notorious Birkdale rough. They also provide versatility off the tee, making Birkdale's tight fairways easier to hit.

The G430 Hybrid is fully customizable to suit an individual golfer's needs with an 8-position Adjustable Hosel that allows the club to be tuned for loft and lie to customize ball flight.

There are two shaft options to choose from, either the Ping Tour 2.0 85 or the Alta CB70 Black. Flex options come in Stiff, Regular and Senior, with loft choices from 19, 22 and 26 degrees.

We also put the G430 and its G440 sibling to a head-to-head test, and both delivered exceptional performance with very little to separate them. The Ping G440 is priced at $319, making this G430 deal even more appealing with that $60 saving.

If a Ping G430 Hybrid isn't on your golf equipment list, then some of the best golf drivers on the market from the Ping G430 Driver range are also on sale at Dick's Sporting Goods, including the Ping G430 Max 10K Driver reduced from $599 to $449.

At Golf Monthly we have been big fans of PRG Golf for a while now and if you are unaware of the brand, it makes some of the best golf accessories in the game, ranging from premium and unique headcovers, to ball markers, towels and so on.

The quality is always outstanding, (especially the special edition Kickpoint headcover which celebrates our podcast), and the brand constantly seeks to try new things. A case in point is this latest partnership with Guinness which is a collection made up of a variety of designs covering headcovers, putter covers, yardage books, towels, flags, ball markers, bag tags and so on. Put simply, there is a Guinness related accessory for everyone here, so I've included links below on how to buy each piece. (I really need to get my hands on some of this gear given how much I love Guinness...)

The launch range includes:

• Two Pint Collections feature designs inspired by the famous pint itself
• Toucan Collection celebrates one of the brand’s most enduring symbols
• Icon Collection includes a range of accessories with iconic branding
• A selection of metal accessories, towels, scorecard holders, yardage books and flags are also available to purchase

Once again PRG Golf clearly is looking to evolve with this new collection and one key area is using a new material. The brand has introduced PrimaTouch which is a new fibre material designed to help durability, longevity and the overall eprformance of the accessories, especially the leather products. For example it gives resistance to water and staining so they can continue to look great on your bag for a longer period of time. With the state of my headcovers currently, this is music to my ears...

Stephen Riley, CEO of PRG Golf, said: "As a company founded in Northern Ireland, this partnership is one we are incredibly proud of. Guinness is a brand that is recognised around the world, but with a rich Irish heritage and culture, something that resonates strongly with PRG.

"This collection allowed our team to create something that honours that legacy while introducing new ideas through design and materials. The launch of PrimaTouch is an important moment for PRG, and we felt there was no better brand than Guinness to showcase it for the first time."

Ping G440 K vs Titleist GTS3 Driver: Read Our Head-To-Head Verdict

The Ping G440 K and the Titleist GTS3 drivers have plenty in common. For many players, the biggest question they both had to answer was this: how on earth could they follow their predecessors, both of which counted among their respective manufacturers' most successful-ever drivers.

There was never going to be a need in either case to reinvent the wheel, so the mission for both brands was more of the same plus some meaningful improvements.

The very fact that we're comparing these two new heads and not their brilliant predecessors means that both Ping and Titleist were successful in upping the ante. The Ping G440 K has already gone in the bags of players like Sahith Theegala, and occasionally Viktor Hovland, and I enjoyed its further-enhanced forgiveness - just as I did the higher-launching, lower-spinning bombs I hit with the Titleist GTS3.

I've tested both of these drivers thoroughly, and they're both right up there in the conversation when it comes to forgiveness as well. So, let's find out how the G440 K and GTS3 compare and see which would be a better fit for your game.

Technology

Ping's previous driver model, the G430 Max 10K, took the market by storm in early 2024 and became indisputably one of the best golf drivers for its ability to maximize forgiveness without compromising distance.

That's a pretty effective formula off the tee, and Ping has aimed to keep that balance with the G440 K, introducing a 32-gram adjustable back weight to further increase the amount of weight in the clubhead's perimeter and increase stability and forgiveness.

The G440K also adds a Dual Carbonfly Wrap and Free-Hosel Technology that save discretionary weight from the sole, crown, and hosel. This frees up close to 8 grams of weight and allows the club's Center of Gravity (CG) to be even lower and deeper for high MOI and more ball speed.

No matter what driver you're gaming right now, you've probably noticed the effects of the clubhead's CG, whether you realize it or not. If you suddenly hit one that launches high and flies forever with less spin, one glance at the clubface might show the ball's imprint a little above where the CG projects. It should come as no surprise, then, that the clubmakers are trying to give you this effect more often.

Similarly, the technology of Titleist's new GTS3 is one of evolution, not revolution. The driver head's Thermofoam Body has twice as much of Titleist's Proprietary Matrix Polymer compared to the previous driver generation, which also creates weight savings.

This has allowed Titleist to incorporate a dual-weight system featuring a forward track weight and a flat rear weight. This system, when put together with the brand's new Speed Sync Face, allows players to deliver serious clubhead speed while retaining stability and adjustability.

In my testing, I found that both manufacturers' technology stories did play out. I launched the ball higher with the Titleist GTS3 and spun it less, while the Ping 440 K gave me lots of ball speed despite keeping the spin up.

Looks

If you've liked any of the Ping drivers over the past few years, you shouldn't be disappointed by the G440 K. The general footprint and distinctive visual of the past couple of generations stay the same when you look down at the ball, and the clubhead is rounded and solid, inspiring plenty of confidence in that vital moment before you take it back.

I'm a fan of that beefier shape in a driver, but on the other hand, I don't really love the blue colorway Ping has introduced with the G440 series. Still, this is just a minor quibble, and your taste might be different from mine. Plus, the blue isn't really visible at address, so I only even saw it for the brief moment when removing my driver headcover.

The Titleist GTS3 also stays true to the brand's recent visual themes, and it looks and feels exceptionally premium with how sleek, modern, and devoid of ostentation it is. The chrome of the crown and the high-contrast face graphics are also an improvement, helping you to get aligned and see the loft on the clubhead.

However, I'm going to nitpick a little here, too. The sole of the GTS3 was sleek and shiny when the wrapper came off, but after a little bit of use, the glossy coating of the GTS series (which uses the same sole across the range) showed significant marking.

I also noticed that the black paint around the Titleist GTS3's new back port had bled onto the silver accents and even cracked and pooled in spots.

Again, this isn't something that I would notice when actually getting ready to hit the ball, but it's a disappointing lack of attention to detail that might allow the Ping G440 K to nudge ahead in the looks department... if, of course, you don't mind those ever-present turbulators.

Feel

One of the minor complaints I had with Ping's previous driver model was its acoustics, and the G440 K's composite crown bridge and acoustic sole 'ribs' have been implemented for that very reason.

These additions are designed to dampen unwanted vibrations, and when I hit the ball, I felt that the sound was more muted and the feel was solid. Impact felt strong with the G440 K and definitely reflected the added stability of the clubface and the distance I was producing.

The Titleist GTS3, meanwhile, pulls no punches in terms of impact feedback. On off-center hits, it felt harsh and hollow, which I suspect might come down to the PMP going further around the chassis.

But here's the kicker. In no way did the feel match the numbers. The GTS3 didn't really penalize me at all for missing the middle, but I still knew all about it thanks to the harsher feedback. Your mileage may vary on that, but I found it really helpful since it created an honest, unfiltered feedback loop without affecting ball flight.

Performance

I tested both the Ping G 440 K and the Titleist GTS3 using my Foresight Sports GC3 launch monitor, and the data painted a very clear picture for both clubs. The G440 K's stability meant that Ping more than maintains its reputation for making some of the most forgiving drivers on the market, while the Titleist GTS3 definitely makes it a close race by how good it was even when I missed the sweet spot.

It's also useful to have the numbers of both these clubs compared to their predecessors, since both are being measured against very successful original models as well as each other.

Ping has a bit of a reputation for running heavy, which might explain why my clubhead speed averaged out a bit lower when testing both the G440 K and the G430 Max 10K compared to the Titleist drivers. Of course, this is part of the whole MOI story, and I was actually able to generate more ball speed with the G440 K than the GTS3.

In my opinion, it was always going to be difficult to improve on the near-legendary G430 Max 10K. Still, the G440 K's adjustable back weighting takes things to the next level by letting you move the club's CG between draw, neutral, and fade settings to suit your shot shape. I found a lot of value in moving the weight behind my typical miss, which improved ball speed retention.

The Titleist GTS3 was the highest-launching of this group of drivers, beating its predecessor by almost a degree and the G440 K by half a degree. Add that to about 200 revs less of spin against the G440 K, and I was loving GTS3's recipe for launching those high, low-spin bombs off down the range.

This translated into plenty of distance, and I was carrying the ball just three yards short of 300 with the GTS3, despite its slightly lower ball speed. And, as I alluded to earlier, the launch monitor simply didn't bat an eyelid at a mishit, with exceptional ball speed retention and dispersion.

Conclusion

The Ping G440 K and the Titleist GTS3 are both going to send your ball miles down the fairway, but importantly, they're going to do so in very different ways despite also sharing similarities. Both are extremely forgiving drivers, and I found that I could practically hit the ball anywhere on the face of either club and still get it way down there and in play.

Aesthetically, neither veers away from the respective brand's current direction, although the Ping G440 K's blue colorways didn't quite suit my eye when I was pulling the headcover off. The turbulators remain a feature of the range, but they do contribute to the club's forgiveness factor.

The GTS3 is a brilliantly sleek club, but the question is how good it's still going to look after a little use, since it started showing a few too many signs of wear too quickly. Plus, the entire GTS series seems to have a little bit of a paintwork issue around the back port that takes away from the overall premium aesthetic.

Choosing between the two, however, might come down simply to what you want to feel and see once club meets ball. The Titleist GTS3 lets me know when I mishit it even though the ball flight doesn't, with high-launching, low-spinning drives going forever. With the Ping 440 K, it's all about excellent ball speed to get down the fairway, along with that new muted sound and wonderfully strong, solid feel.

Which club should you choose?

Choose the Ping G440 K driver if...

- You prefer a consistently more muted sound and solid feel
- You want to retain maximum forgiveness alongside high ball speed
- You are looking for adjustability to support your strike bias

Choose the Titleist GTS3 driver if...

- You want to hit higher launch windows with lower spin
- You need forgiveness but still want feedback on strike
- You like a sleek, minimalist look behind the ball

We've become big fans of Payntr from our testing of their shoes over the last few years with models like the 87 SC, Reserve Classic Tour RS, and Matchday SC all getting high marks in reviews. The same can be said of Bad Birdie, from which we have tested a wide range of apparel as well.

Well they have partnered up in 2026 to release three special edition shoes, all of which use the Reserve Classic SL silhouette and use unique finishes and colors as you can see below.

The 1st model above is the Paint Splatter finish, which pays homage to Bad Birdie's most recognizable motif whilst the 2nd shoe was released earlier in June 2026. It celebrates the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States. As such the red, white and blue features throughout.

Finally the Spring Showers finish, is inspired by the original printed polo that helped grow Bad Birdie. It is worth saying that the 'Spring Showers' model will be releasing later this year in August. I must admit the Paint Splatter design is my favorite for sure, the perfect summer shoe to show off in when playing!

"This is our first shot in footwear, and we knew from the start that how we entered mattered," said Jason Richardson, Founder and CEO of Bad Birdie. "We didn't want to just make a shoe; we wanted to make the right shoe. Partnering with PAYNTR, one of the most respected and fastest-growing brands in golf footwear, ensures we're delivering something that performs at the highest level while still looking unmistakably Bad Birdie."

"Each design is fully custom, going beyond surface-level branding to integrate Bad Birdie's signature colors, prints, and iconography directly into the shoe," added Richardson.

"This collaboration is a perfect example of how performance innovation can serve as the foundation for bold design expression," said Michael Glancy, Co-founder and Creative Director of PAYNTR Golf. "We engineered the shoe on our proven All Day SC platform and worked closely with the Bad Birdie team to integrate their distinct visual identity directly into the designs."

Vice golf balls might just be the best golf balls you’ve never tried. While this German brand occasionally slips under the radar, these balls deliver superb all-around performance.

If you want to maximize your budget, Vice offers premium, tour-level performance at a fraction of the price.

Right now at Amazon, you can pick up a dozen Vice Pro Golf Balls for just $29.99, making them only $2.49 a ball.

Vice designed the Pro as the ultimate all-around performer in its line-up. In our Vice Pro review, this 3-piece urethane ball earned a stellar 4.5 out of 5 stars. Golf Monthly ball guru Sam De’Ath praised the Pro as the ideal choice for golfers who prioritize a mix of distance and short-game control.

Sam was also keen to add that the Tracer version of the Pro was like a "putting cheat code" with the additional alignment aid, a bonus for those who struggle on the greens.

Vice is also well known for producing some garishly coloured balls, and if that's your thing, then the Vice Pro in Neon Lime is reduced to $29.99, that's $2.49 a ball.

The 154th Open Championship at Royal Birkdale is nearly here and to celebrate Ben Lomond has unveiled a special edition gin which features hand-selected botanicals from around the course, including sweet blackcurrant berries, floral wild chamomile & the lemony tang of sorrel.

The links course itself is renowned for undulations and its rugged nature so the brand has sought to implement this feeling in its gin with a sense of wildness and unpredictability. It is a London Dry style gin with 43% ABV (alcohol by volume) and it retails for £32 ($43), and you can get it below.

I also really like the overall design of the bottle. It is classically subtle but features geometric illustrations and small references to the gin itself, the course, and The Open Championship.

“We’ve taken the spirit of Royal Birkdale – wild, windswept and rich in character – and captured it in a distinctive gin,” said Andy Jack, Head of Marketing at Loch Lomond Group. “Each Open Special Edition is designed to celebrate not just the Championship, but the unique landscape and heritage of its host venue.”

The brand has been creating these special edition bottles since 2023 and it has been the Major's official gin since that year as well.

I think this gin makes an excellent gift for the golfer in your life and those of you attending Royal Birkdale can also try Ben Lomond gin in the brand's gin garden within the hospitality area.

With several collections released this year for each Major, Sun Day Red has continued this theme with the latest 'Royal Collection' which pays homage and celebrates The Open Championship, a tournament Tiger Woods has always had a particular collection to.

Winner of the tournament in 2000, 2005 and 2006, Woods' Sun Day Red brand has unveiled the new collection a week before the 2026 edition begins at Royal Birkdale, and I must say, I think it is my favorite drop from the brand this year. Dare I say it, it might be my favorite from any brand this year.

The collection features sublime little elements including corduroy pieces as well as lovely colors, with the burgundy being my particular favorite, especially on the shoes. There is also a tartan windbreaker and a reversible hoodie which the brand hasn't done before.

As usual it looks great, and I have picked out some of my favorite pieces below, including cool special edition versions of the Osprey shoes, along with classic polos, hoodies and more. I have to admit though, I need to get my hands on the long sleeve cashmere polo. and the icon cord hat, those are very cool indeed.

Beginner and casual golfers face an overwhelming amount of game-improving tech. If you're like me, a golfer who simply enjoys the walk, expensive rangefinders probably sit at the bottom of your priority list.

However, my expert colleagues at Golf Monthly agree that a rangefinder can vastly improve your round by delivering quick, accurate distances to the pin.

One of the best budget rangefinders is the CIGMAN CT-1200 PRO. Right now at Amazon, the CIGMAN CT-1200 PRO is on sale for just $62.99.

The CIGMAN CT-1200 Pro Rangefinder launched in September 2025, costing $159.99. The previous best price was $79.99 in February this year, and it is usually listed on Amazon at around $100, making this current price a bargain.

Our golf tech expert, Conor Keenan, awarded the CIGMAN CT-1200 a 4.5 out of 5-star review. Conor noted that the CIGMAN came close to matching the on-course performance of far more expensive models.

Review highlights included the slope functionality mode, a range of 1200+ yards, and an impressive battery (20,000 actuations on a full charge). Other modes are available, and switching between slope, flag lock, scan, and speed modes is straightforward thanks to what Conor thought was this rangefinder's best feature – its external side display.

The 2.4-inch touchscreen sets this device apart from its budget rangefinder rivals. It lets you switch modes instantly, makes readings effortless to see, and eliminates clunky button fumbling. For forgetful players, the screen helpfully retains your last measurement. It also ensures rules compliance for your playing partners by displaying a clear green outline when you disable slope mode during competition.

A rangefinder is judged on accurate yardages, and the CIGMAN hits the mark. Conor compared it directly against his premium Garmin Approach Z30 and confirmed matching accuracy. It also delivers lightning-fast readings, locking onto targets in under a second, validating CIGMAN's speed claims.

In summing up his review, Conor reckoned the CIGMAN was a perfectly reliable rangefinder that delivered the goods, and was real value for money – and it's now even better value in this deal. He pointed out that, as you'd expect at this price, it's a more beginner-friendly rangefinder, or a first device if you're new to the benefits of a golf rangefinder.

The deal highlighted is US only, but below you'll find the best offers on the CIGMAN CT-1200 PRO Rangefinder in your territory.

If you're after a rangefinder with more functionality, then the Bushnell Tour Hybrid Rangefinder is our best overall, but you won't get much change from $500.

The 4th of July is always a big celebration, but 2026 is even bigger. As we celebrate the 250th birthday of the United States of America, we're about to see A LOT of red, white and blue out there - be that at whatever party you're attending, at your local supermarket or even on the golf course.

We've seen brands tap into the stars and stripes around the Ryder Cup every two years, but they are going all out in 2026 for the 250th birthday - many of the best golf shoes on the market have had makeover, be that some of both the best spiked golf shoes and best spikeless golf shoes.

Not only are these shoes easy on the eye, these new colorways also allow you to show some national pride. From some of the best FootJoy shoes to highlights from the best adidas golf shoes, I think you'll find at least one of the twelve shoes I've included below that catches your eye.

Missed out on the Amazon Prime Day sale? Don't worry about it. The event ended last week after running from the 23rd to the 26th June, but it appears there are a number of deals still live at the moment. Therefore I tasked myself with searching high and wide across the website to see what scraps were left for those who didn't take advantage of the shopping event.

What is great to see is those 'scraps' don't appear to be such, as there are still a whole host of deals on top products from brands like Cobra, TaylorMade, Garmin and Bushnell. In total I've filtered that larger list down to 24 but if you want to browse the rest of the remaining golf deals on Amazon I've included a link below as well for you

As the Golf Monthly putter tester, I have managed to get my hands on a lot of different flat-sticks over the last few years. It seems this area of the golf club market has truly exploded, with seemingly every brand now offering blades, mid-mallets, high MOI putters, zero torque designs, and everything in between.

Basically every shape and size is covered, and there are great options in all categories, which makes purchasing a new model pretty tricky. How do you filter down to the model you want? Well, this is where I come in to try and help you out. I have picked out 17 of my top picks for 2026 below, and if you want more information, then please scroll down a bit further to check out my full video on this guide.

A bit more on my testing first. All of the models below have been put through their paces so I can get a true understanding of how they perform, how they feel, how easy they are to use, and so on. I do this by using the putters as much as possible in my everyday golfing life, both on the course and the putting green, completing multiple practice drills. So without further ado, my top picks for 2026...

As I mentioned earlier, for a bit more in-depth explanation on each please check out my full video below where I go into everything in a bit more detail.

For more golf shoe buying advice, I would also recommend taking a look at our guides on the best putters, best blade putters or best mallet putters.

The 154th Open Championship is not far away and to celebrate what should be a brilliant tournament at Royal Birkdale, Loch Lomond Whiskies has unveiled two limited-edition single malts which are perfect for the whiskey connoisseur you know. (Or maybe you want them for yourself...)

The two malts are The Open Course Collection (£195, 46.9% ABV), and The Open Special Edition (£45, 46% ABV), with both featuring really cool, eye-catching packaging. It is worth acknowledging that only 3,000 bottles of the Course Collection will be available worldwide so I'm confident they will be a sought after piece of Open memorabilia, and a delicious one at that.

If you are unaware of the brand, Loch Lomond Whiskies is an award-winning independent distiller which has not only been making whiskies since 1814, but has been producing special edition collections for The Open Championship for a number of years now.

As mentioned there are two malts to choose from here and I've included some notes on the nose, taste and finish below so you can really get an understanding of each whisky.

The Open Course Collection

• Nose: Toasted oak, apple, ginger and vanilla.
• Taste: Toffee, pineapple, lemon, cinnamon spice, with red berries and dried fruits from the Tawny Port casks.
• Finish: Long with warming oak spice, dried fruit sweetness and soft smoke.

The Open Special Edition

• Nose: Dark berries, redcurrant and citrus zest with vanilla, honey and soft malt.  
• Taste: Blackberry, raspberry and peach syrup, layered with crisp apple, toffee sweetness and gentle spice. A subtle thread of smoke runs through the palate.
• Finish: Medium length with lingering berry sweetness, soft oak spice and light, smoky warmth.

Some other small details I want to mention here -

The packaging on the Course Collection features every Championship venue, date and winner, from Prestwick in 1860 through to Royal Portrush in 2025. Whilst the Special Collection was actually created in collaboration with Colin Montgomerie, a Scottish golfer who requires little introduction.

Finally not only can you buy the malts above, but if you are lucky enough to be attending The Open you will be able to purchase both malts at the Loch Lomond Whiskies stand at Royal Birkdale throughout Championship week.

As we draw closer to the end of the Amazon Prime Day sales, I'm stunned a lot of these sales I've listed below haven't sold out yet.

I use every shopping event to stock up golf balls - and you should, too. You would be stunned at how much money you can save in the long run, plus having a large stock of golf balls ready to go at any time is always convenient.

Not every brand who battle to deliver the best golf balls on the market have partaken in the sales, but the biggest to do so is without doubt TaylorMade. The brand are trusted by the likes of Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood and Collin Morikawa on the PGA Tour, and the very balls they use are currently reduced as part of the Prime Day golf ball discounts.

I've included them all below - the latest version of one of the best premium golf balls, the TP5 and TP5x, at the top. However, you can save even more money by opting for the 2024 version of the TP5 which are also documented. Want one of the best mid-price golf balls? You can't go wrong with the TaylorMade Tour Response. If you're a high handicapper and tend to lose a few balls a round then fear not, the Rocketballz and Speed Soft Ink models are two of the best value golf balls you can buy.

As the title of this piece suggests, Amazon Prime Day 2026 ends tonight. I have seen a whole host of good golf deals throughout this week and using my price tracking tool, I can see many of the products are at lowest prices ever. However, the issue is we only have a few hours left to take advantage of these deals so to help narrow your search, I have collated 33 of my favorite golf gear discounts right now, across a variety of categories so there is something for everyone.

It is worth acknowledging that I have only included deals on products we have tested and therefore know to be good. Hopefully you’ll find something and treat yourself on the final day of the sale, and be sure to keep an eye on our Prime Day Golf Deals live blog as if any other deals pop up before the sale event is over we'll be sure to let you know.

The 4th of July, 2026, is exceptionally special because it marks the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

Known broadly as America250, this historic milestone is being commemorated with national events, time capsules, and unique civic celebrations. Adding to the holiday's appeal, July 4th falls on a Saturday, giving most Americans and us golfers a rare three-day long weekend.

Amazon Prime Day wraps up at midnight tonight, June 26th, and if you're looking for a special golf-themed way to celebrate Independence Day and the 4th of July, then these USA-themed golf balls from TaylorMade have plenty of appeal, especially at this price, with up to 24% off

Shop TaylorMade "Stars and Stripes' Tour Response Balls reduced by 25% at Amazon.

The TaylorMade Tour Response and TaylorMade TP5 are some of the best golf balls the Golf Monthly testers' favorite balls, and in our TaylorMade Tour Response review, they scored an impressive 4.5 out of 5 star score with Joe Ferguson calling them, "another excellent ball from TaylorMade, filled with tech in a design that ultimately pays off in performance."

The TaylorMade TP5 golf balls scored an equally impressive 4.5 rating from Sam De'Ath, who said, "If you want a ball that performs consistently well throughout the bag and in a variety of weather conditions, the 2026 TP5 is one of the leading choices."

The Amazon Prime Day sales are one of my favorite times of the year to stock up on golf gear, and while it’s great to stock up on golf balls or find a deal or two on some of the best drivers on the market, it’s the perfect opportunity to invest in some training aids to try and eliminate any of those annoying lingering swing flaws.

The Eyeline Golf Speed Trap 2.0 is the perfect example of this and is a training aid that I have personally tested and reviewed, so when I saw it drop from its usual $99.99 down to just $79.97 in the Amazon Prime Day sale, I thought it’s definitely worth shouting about.

Before using the Speed Trap 2.0, I had fallen into a frustrating habit of swinging too far to the left, which was resulting in a little bit of a push that occasionally turned into a slice, striking the ball out of the heel of the club. Not only was I missing fairways, but I was sacrificing distance because of the poor strike and the lack of compression through the hit at impact.

The beauty of the Speed Trap 2.0 is in its simplicity and instant feedback, and it can easily be used by those who swing it too far from in-to-out and are prone to a nasty hook. It features a sturdy plastic base with four foam rods that attach via plastic ties.

Because I wanted to get my natural draw shape back, I instantly set the foam rods up to deliver an in-to-out swing path. The setup gave me the perfect visual indication of how the club needed to be delivered, and the foam rods provided immediate (and safe) physical feedback if my path was off.

After just an hour of hitting balls with it, I gained a brilliant understanding of how I needed the club to move. When I took it out onto the course, the results were exactly what I had hoped for - I eradicated the push-slice out of the heel and brought back a smooth, penetrating baby draw.

Because my strike was finally coming out of the dead center of the face with a much more efficient path, my distance numbers instantly jumped back up, and that wasn’t just guesswork. This was measured using my Foresight Sports GC3 launch monitor, which also happens to be on sale throughout these Amazon Prime Day sales!

One of the things I love most about this training aid is its versatility. It actually has set ball positions marked out right on the base for different shots, including chipping, pitching, and full swings. The chipping marker, for example, is placed further back to encourage a more downward strike, helping you generate more spin and better contact around the greens.

It also comes in a handy travel case, meaning you can easily throw it in your bag for a pre-round warm-up or a dedicated range session. If I incorporate one practice session with the Speed Trap 2.0 every couple of weeks, I know I'm in for my best ball-striking season in years, and you can now grab it too at a discounted price!

If you are serious about making changes to your swing and want to find the middle of the clubface more often, getting this for under $80 today is a complete no-brainer.

It’s summer, it’s hot, and it’s dry, so the last thing on your mind right now is wearing a waterproof golf jacket. But as every golfer knows, the rain will return. The real question is, are you properly equipped with the best women’s rain gear when it does?

If you want to beat the weather and the price tags, you need to act fast. We've spotted an absolutely fantastic deal that you will want to jump on immediately.

Top 50 Coach Katie Dawkins previously reviewed this premium FootJoy HydroKnit waterproof jacket and was impressed by its performance. Right now, it has been slashed by an incredible 46% off. Originally retailing at £239, it’s now just £129.33, saving over £100.

FootJoy has delivered an exceptional piece of outerwear with the Hydroknit jacket. It is impressively lightweight, yet the confidence of a three-year waterproof guarantee is a testament to how well this design performs in the most challenging conditions.

FootJoy has added a hood to what was already a great design, instantly elevating it to compete with the very best women's golf rain gear on the market. While some golfers might worry that a hood could compromise visibility during a round, this one is cleverly engineered with a wide opening that stays securely on your head while preserving your peripheral sightlines, while toggles on either side allow for a perfectly customised fit.

First and foremost, this jacket is built to keep you protected, and it is absolutely unbeatable when it comes to heavy downpours. Water simply beads away and the fabric dries out fast, meaning it never feels heavy or weighed down with water.

The taped zips completely lock the elements at bay, leaving you feeling warm and dry throughout your round. It is also packed with functional details, including a handy interior chest pocket for a scorecard or mobile phone, and an adjustable bungee along the bottom hem. This allows you to alter the fit from a tailored silhouette to a sporty bomber jacket, making it a highly adaptable option that will beautifully suit many different body types.

FootJoy has kept the colour palette classic and timeless, focusing on white, navy, and black options that pair easily with any golf wardrobe. While a stylish white waterproof can sometimes show a little bit of on-course dirt around the pockets when you are reaching for tees or ball markers, its performance far outweighs any minor maintenance.

Conveniently, these jackets wash up beautifully on a cold cycle and look brand new every single time, without losing any of their premium waterproof quality. Finding this level of trusted FootJoy protection at 46% off is an absolute steal - grab yours before this deal disappears.

Blue Tees is one of the fastest-growing technology companies in golf. That was what my colleague Conor said recently, after reviewing the Blue Tees Captain Pro laser rangefinder (see below).

Like Conor, our main GPS reviewer, I do a little bit of caddying from time to time, and I've definitely noticed more golfers using this brand over the last few months.

I got my first Blue Tees device, the Blue Tees Series 3 Max, a couple of years ago. At the time, I hadn't heard of the brand, but I'm seeing more and more, especially among those golfers visiting from America.

Part of the reason has to be the price - this is affordable technology.

The long and short of it is this: Blue Tees produces some really great GPS gear. My Series 3 Max is still going strong (I've not even had to change the battery yet), and I'm in no hurry to change.

If you're in the market for a new laser - perhaps you're considering using one for the first time- these two Blue Tees rangefinders have appeared on the Amazon Prime Day Sale.

Over to Conor to talk you through some of the key features and benefits, and what makes these two deals stand out on a very busy Amazon Prime Day.

First up, the Blue Tees Captain Air Rangefinder.

Conor, who plays (and caddies) at Royal County Down, was left massively impressed by the newly-released Blue Tees rangefinder.

Like the Captain Pro, features are plentiful with the Air model, which is also a 'smart' rangefinder. You have to connect it to the Blue Tees app and start your round on there before you start but it is worth it.

As well as all the yardages you need, you also get aerial views of the hole ahead of you on the app, as well as green maps with the Advanced Analytics Package subscription (see the review above for more on that), plus shot tracking, club recommendations, shot dispersion, accuracy data, and more.

As for the Captain Pro, this new DMD represents the clearest sign of Blue Tees' mission to deliver top-quality golf tech without the sky-high price tags.

This is the bigger brother of the two, although it’s only $50 more expensive than the Air. Is the difference worth paying that little bit extra? In short, yes.

"Although I prefer the Air case to the one you get with the Pro, the Pro is better against the elements with its IP67 protection compared to the Air’s IP65 protection," says Conor.

Nevertheless, considering both of these lasers are only released a couple of months, we're stunned they are already on sale (and can guarantee they won't be next week!)

We're nearing the end of the Amazon Prime Day sales and we hope you've taken advantage of some of the superb discounts we've documented in the buying advice section of the website.

If not then I think I know the reason - you want to grab some of the best Prime Day golf bargains but don't want to spend too much. I got you.

I tasked myself with finding the best products for your golf game on Amazon with a budget of $50 and I found 21 of them! Two of them are slightly over $50, but poetic license, right?

We always bang on about stocking up on golf balls during sale events, but what else can we get for under $50. Well, what about some of the best golf training aids? A golf net for your back garden? Or maybe even a few of the best golf accessories for your bag like a towel, groove cleaner or even your next reliable golf glove. There should be something for everyone below - and you can use the search bar to filter out some items if there is one thing in particular you're after.

When it comes to the best golf balls, it's Titleist that has held the crown for many years as the most popular choice, with the legendary Pro V1 dominating leaderboards and earning a well-deserved reputation for all-round performance.

However, back in 2025 the Mizuno Pro X ball was a "real and unexpected revelation" when put to the test by Golf Monthly's Deputy Editor and golf ball guru, Joel Tadman.

Joel put the Pro X through its paces with the launch monitor and out on the course, and at the end of his extensive tests, he was genuinely struggling to find a reason not to score the Mizuno ball with a perfect 5 out of 5 score.

Get 3 dozen Mizuno Pro X for just $100 – $2.77 a ball at Amazon

One of the many accolades Joel gave it was in relation to the price, normally carrying a RRP of $50 a dozen – it's on the cheaper side when it comes to the best premium golf balls, but with this Amazon Prime Day 33% reduction, it takes it down to just $33 per dozen, or $2.77 per ball.

For the price Joel expected a trade-off in performance and durability, but was happy to report neither, with the ball delivering to quote, "frankly astounding numbers". Using the Foresight Sports GCQuad launch monitor, the Pro X had an average ball speed of 156.2mph, which was comparable to the Z-Star Diamond ball, but because it launched considerably higher with a lower spin, it flew four yards further. It was also longer than the Z-Star XV and seven yards longer than the Titleist 2023 Pro V1x.

On the course, the results were the same, the balls 332 Axial Flow Dimple Design, which Mizuno claims to reduce air resistance and give a consistent and stable flight. It real life terms, it meant Joel noted he was further down the fairway on some holes than he was used to.

With mid-irons and around the greens, the Pro X also performed impressively, and Joel reported it was up to four yards longer than any of the new Srixon Z-Star balls. The significantly faster and higher flight, mid-to-high spin and descent angle close to 50 degrees also delivered excellent stopping power.

So what's the catch, you ask? Well as Joel said in his original review, "I genuinely don’t know if there is one." and he summed up the Mizuno Pro X golf ball by saying, "This could well become one of the most underrated golf products launched this year, and the Mizuno provides a more affordable alternative that can compete with, and in some areas outperform, the so-called market leaders."

Although the deal is US only, below you'll find the best Mizuno Pro X deals available today in your territory, oh and it is worth saying the Mizuno Pro S is also on sale with the same discount as the X.

If you're after another brand, then our Amazon Prime Day Golf Deals Live hub is the place to find all the best golf ball deals. We'll also have deals on clubs, golf clothing and golf shoes, updating regularly over the Prime Day event as we find the deals.

If there’s one thing that can swiftly wreck a round of golf, it’s walking 18 holes in an uncomfortable pair of golf shoes. The best golf shoes, particularly those packed with premium materials and tour-level traction technologies, rarely come cheap, and so finding a highly rated, high-performing model at a massive discount is somewhat of a rare occurrence. That said, I have just spotted an absolute steal that you will not want to miss during the Prime Day sales.

The Adidas Tour360 24 is one of my favourite shoes released over the past couple of years, boasting a timeless silhouette, and they are nearly 50% off right now during Amazon Prime Day. Featuring an ultra-premium leather upper, exceptional 7-spike grip, and the blister-free T-Shape suede microfiber heel, this is one of the most complete all-around spiked golf shoes on the market.

As someone who plays elite amateur golf across the UK, I demand a lot from my footwear. I am regularly walking 36 holes in a day in unfortunately wildly unpredictable weather conditions, meaning I need a shoe that delivers on both stability and endurance.

Despite these shoes being a couple of years old now, I find them so unbelievably comfortable that I recently purchased a fresh pair and have been wearing them for a lot of my tournaments this year.

Right now, the Adidas Tour360 24 golf shoe is available at Amazon for an astonishing $109 - a significant discount from the original $200 price, plummeting for the Amazon Prime Day Sale. That is a massive $91 saving on a pair of shoes trusted by some of the best players in the world.

When you look at the pedigree of the Adidas Tour360, it is no surprise that it remains an absolute staple on the professional circuit. It is the shoe of choice for major champions and PGA Tour winners alike, with guys like Xander Schauffele, Sepp Straka, and Michael Thorbjornson all relying on that same tour-level stability week in and week out.

If that iconic 360Wrap design and seven-spike traction are good enough to help the world's best compete for millions of dollars under Sunday pressure, I can guarantee they are more than capable of keeping mine and your feet securely planted during a gruelling 36-hole amateur event, regardless of the conditions.

It’s not often you can slip a shoe straight on and not experience any pain, but I experienced absolutely zero rubbing and no soreness, even when walking 36 holes on firm summer turf recently. When combined with a reshaped insole offering fantastic arch support, the Tour360 24 feels incredibly premium from the moment you slip it on.

When I’m fully loading the pressure through the ground in my swing, I can genuinely feel the bridge working, offering a solid platform to push on, knowing that my foot won't roll. Add in the comprehensive seven-spike outsole, which includes an extra spike purposefully positioned in the toe area for better push-off and more power.

Beyond its impressive performance, the shoe just looks superb, blending a modern style with a proven timeless aesthetic. The Tour 360 24 golf shoes are the kind of shoes that really can be worn with any style of outfit, making it what I feel is the most versatile golf shoe on the market.

If you want to elevate your comfort and stability on the course without breaking the bank this summer, this Amazon Prime Day deal is simply too good to ignore. Grab a pair of the best golf shoes on the market while your size is still in stock!

With Amazon Prime Day in full swing, we've looked to bring you the best discounts on golf equipment with our Amazon Prime Day live blog, but we've also been looking elsewhere too.

For example the Stewart Golf Summer Sale has not escaped our attention. With up to 50% off selected products, and huge savings to be had across the British manufacturer's award-winning trolley range, it's time to have a good browse but I should let you know, the sale ends on July 28 2026.

We've highlighted three products here that feature in the Stewart Golf Summer Sale for June 2026, all of which we have tested.

We're big fans of the Q Follow Electric Trolley. If you like your golf gadgets, this engineering masterpiece will also be right up your street. The headline technology allows the trolley to follow you around the course. For golfers seeking a genuinely hands-free experience, this could prove a real game-changer.

In testing, reliability was very impressive, with the trolley consistently tracking and stopping right by our ball. Top marks for stability, too, thanks largely to a retractable stabiliser, which is made up of two smaller wheels and helps keep the trolley upright at all times. It deploys automatically during setup, which is also very smart.

You'll also find the Stewart Golf Vertx Remote at a discounted price. With a host of handy features and a high build quality, the Vertx makes for a reliable performer and is actually our top pick in our best remote golf trolleys guide.

Aided by the two non-rotating front wheels, the Vertx boasts super stability regardless of the terrain. It’s also very simple to operate and features a built-in carry handle that helps when lifting the unit in and out of the car.

As for the Nero cart bag, you'll find the original Nero included in our best golf trolley bags guide. For Golf Monthly's Dan Parker, someone who might just have tested more golf bags than shoes, its the standout model in terms of functionality.

What woman doesn’t love shoes? We’re so spoilt for choice with golf shoes nowadays, with styles to suit every taste and budget.

Personally, I’m a huge fan of spikeless shoes, especially the ones that seamlessly transition from the golf course straight into everyday life. That said, if you’re looking for that extra bit of high-performance stability, there are some fantastic spiked models out there right now, too.

Of course, fashion is one thing, but function is everything. Comfort should always be your top priority, especially in the summer heat when you need your feet to breathe!

To save you the legwork, this Amazon Prime Day I’ve found 9 of the best women’s golf shoes with serious discounts. So, what are you waiting for?

To be fair, there are more of the best women's spikeless shoes on offer than spiked models, but I’m sure there must be a pair above that has caught your eye.

I should point out that the adidas Codechaos is still one of my go-to shoes, it is so comfortable, and similarly I raved about the FootJoy Quantum last year and my colleague Genelle Aldred, is equally impressed with the 2026 model.

if you're after more Prime Day deals, make sure to check out our live blog and hub, which is updated regularly to showcase the value for money out there this week.

There is a very specific reason why, if you walk down the range at any Tour event, every single professional uses a launch monitor when practicing and warming up. They don't rely on guesswork, they demand precise data to measure their carry yardages for the day and ensure their swings are completely dialed in before they ever step onto the first tee.

I usually like to keep my core setup for my practice consistent, laying down some alignment sticks to keep things fairly neutral, but after a particularly frustrating few weeks not being able to translate my swing on the range to the course, I decided to fundamentally change how I practice by integrating the Foresight GC3 Launch Monitor, and I’m already noticing the difference.

Why am I telling you this? Because switching up my practice, making it more reactionary, changing yardages and targets, and having immediate feedback has done wonders for my yardage control on the golf course. Also, because during the Amazon Prime Day sale this week, you can now make a massive saving of $1,000 on one of these launch monitors, and I’d be doing you all a disservice if I didn’t shout about it.

If you look at the practice facilities at any Tour event, every single professional will have a launch monitor set up behind them as they measure their yardages and test their spin control before each round. I wanted that same level of insight during my practice, and the GC3 delivers it in abundance.

Using three precision cameras, the GC3 captures both ball and club data with industry-leading accuracy. Instead of just guessing how far my 7-iron was flying, the touchscreen display gave me immediate feedback on all of my ball data and even club data, such as clubhead speed and path when applying reflective stickers on the face.

It's not just my personal practice that has been transformed by the GC3, as both I and fellow equipment tester Joe Ferguson rely heavily on the accuracy and reliability of this unit when putting the latest gear through its paces to give all our readers and viewers the most accurate and reliable testing results of the best drivers, fairways, irons, and wedges.

When we launched the Golf Monthly Performance Lab, we needed a launch monitor that ticked every box. We needed comprehensive data, extreme accuracy, and immediate feedback. The GC3 delivers on all fronts, allowing us to analyze every element of how new clubs and balls perform in a controlled environment, completely free from external variables like wind, rain, or muddy conditions.

This CG3, like many of the best launch monitors on the market, is easily portable, perfect for throwing in the car, taking to the range, and practicing outdoors on the course. It really is the perfect option for a home simulator or a net setup and costs less than half of some of its competitors (even more during this sale!).

By pairing it with the intuitive Foresight app, you also receive the ability to run structured skills tests, which test distance control and dispersion. I spent an afternoon in the Lab hitting every club from my lob wedge to my 4-iron, mapping exactly how far a stock swing carries, as well as my ‘knock down’ option and big draws and fades. Knowing those precise numbers takes so much pressure off your approach play on the course, as you can fully commit to what club you’re pulling out of the bag.

Beyond the hardcore data, it also makes practicing incredibly fun, and if you’re lucky enough to have a setup at home, you can play 25 virtual courses straight out of the box, meaning you can test your game in any space, any time, no matter the weather outside. If you want access to more courses, you also have the opportunity to pay for and download many of the top-ranked courses from around the world, and can see how your game stacks up against the pros!

I’ve absolutely loved integrating the CG3 into my practice sessions, and I’ve seen a real uptick in my GIR (greens in regulation) stats since doing so. While it's a significant investment, if you're serious about dropping your handicap and want to practice as the pros do, this device, at $1,000 off thanks to the Prime Day discount, is your chance to take your golf to the next level.

Technology in golf is becoming more and more popular, with the rise of yardage devices in the form of watches, lasers, GPS all becoming a regular sight out on the course. Not to mention the growth in launch monitor technology we are seeing on the driving range!

From mine, and other Golf Monthly contributors' testing, we know that one of the leading brands in this sector is Garmin, who are not just known for producing some of the best golf watches money can buy, but also rangefinders and launch monitors. As such, testing all of this gear from them, and a lot of other brands, takes a lot of time as we look to be as thorough as possible. This means testing all the features, how usable the tech is, as well as for things like waterproofing, durability, accuracy and so on.

As mentioned, Garmin is one of the market-leading brands in this regard, and what is great to see is the brand has discounted some of the best products we have tested during Amazon Prime Day, as you can see below...

Having thoroughly tested and reviewed the products above, we at Golf Monthly know exactly how they perform, what their strengths and weaknesses are, and indeed what you are getting is excellent value for money.

For under $150, you could purchase the Approach S12, which is a watch specially designed solely for the golf course, or the Approach S44 for under $250, which can work both on the course, and off it.

Certainly, Garmin products are extremely versatile options, as the Approach G80 can be used as a GPS device and a launch monitor, which is able to track club head speed, ball speed, smash factor, swing tempo and estimated distance. Additionally I should mention the Z30 Laser as well which we loved in testing and it came oh so close to getting five stars.

Speaking of launch monitors, the Approach R50 lived up to every expectation I had when I tested it at the beginning of last year.

Simple to use and clear and responsive, the launch monitor was extremely accurate and, impressively, can double up as a simulator to 43,000 courses. Overall, I felt that it has become one of the leading options for those looking to create an indoor set up.

Obviously, this model comes in at the pricier side, despite the $500 reduction, but Garmin also offers more budget launch monitors, such as the Approach R10.

Not only does it provide a significant amount of data, but the high degree of accuracy we feel justifies the $349.99 price tag.

Along with these excellent offers, be sure to check out a number of deals on golf equipment via Golf Monthly's Amazon Prime Day live blog and hub, which will be continuously updated throughout the week to give you all the latest money-saving offers on the best golf gear.

If there is one thing we all know about modern golf equipment, it is that upgrading your bag can be an incredibly expensive experience.

The best golf drivers, particularly those packed with the latest game-improvement technologies, rarely come cheap. Finding a premium, high-performing model at a massive discount is a rare occurrence, but I have just spotted an absolute steal that you will not want to miss.

Right now, the highly acclaimed Cobra DS Adapt Max K driver, which I reviewed in late 2024, is available at PGA TOUR Superstore for an astonishing 45% off, which means if you need, or want a new driver, then the best place to go isn't Amazon.

Originally retailing at $549.99, it has plummeted to just $299.98. That is a massive $250 saving on a driver that is engineered to be one of the most user-friendly clubs on the market today.

The 'super MOI' (10K) movement has completely changed the driver landscape, and the DS-Adapt MAX-K is Cobra’s brilliant entry into this ultra-forgiving space. Having tested this club extensively, I can confidently say it achieves exactly what it set out to do: deliver huge levels of consistency.

First and foremost, the playability of this driver is off the charts. It boasts a slightly oversized 460cc profile with discretionary weight pushed deep into the back of the clubhead, resulting in unbelievable stability across the face. During my testing, even when swinging at around 118mph, the MAX-K stood up to some severe mishits, easily cementing itself as one of the most forgiving drivers around.

Another major highlight is how incredibly easy it is to launch. Thanks to the neutral weight positioning, I found no unwanted flight bias - it naturally wants to go straight. Furthermore, the MAX-K features a slightly higher spin profile. While exceptionally fast swingers might look toward lower-spinning models, this characteristic makes the MAX-K an absolute dream for players with slower or average swing speeds, providing the extra carry and hang time needed to maximize distance off the tee.

Beyond its impressive performance, the shelf appeal is phenomenal. The combination of a carbon chassis, sophisticated silver detailing, and a premium matte black finish gives it a truly high-end look in the bag. However, it is the feel and sound at impact that truly elevate it. Cobra has managed to improve upon the already superb Darkspeed lineup, offering a smoother and softer acoustic that makes finding the center of the face incredibly satisfying.

It is very rare to find a driver boasting 10K MOI forgiveness and such premium characteristics with a nearly half-price sticker. If you want to make the game easier off the tee without breaking the bank this summer, this PGA TOUR Superstore deal is simply too good to ignore. Grab it while stocks last!

Amazon Prime Day is officially upon us, and while millions of shoppers are scouring the retailer’s site for tech gadgets and household essentials, savvy golfers know to cast their net a little wider. For example, I was having a nosy around Callaway's official Pre-Owned website and there are a number of deals live right now, such as my absolute favorite golf club of all time - the original Callaway Apex UW - which has a stunning 15% discount.

Now of course it is worth acknowledging the nature of the Callaway Pre-Owned website. As mentioned it is the certified brand's site so that immediately raises the integrity and trustworthiness of the site. Next the site is arranged into several sections on quality which therefore have different prices - Like New, Very Good, Good and Average - and it looks like every single version available right now has that 15% off discount which is great to see. Obviously there are lots of different lofts and shaft choices as well so simply go for the model you think best suits your setup and game.

But back to why I love this club so much. Any product launching under the iconic Callaway Apex banner has big shoes to fill, but the Apex Utility Wood (UW) is a genuine masterpiece. Callaway took its inspiration directly from the Tour on this one.

Working closely with its staff players, including Phil Mickelson, the design team set out to create a reliable "go-to" club that better players could count on from the tee, the fairway, or the rough. The result is a multi-purpose weapon that perfectly bridges the gap between fairway wood distance and hybrid precision.

Visually, the original Apex UW is a treat. It features a simple, compact, and stylish profile that leans slightly more toward a fairway wood than a traditional hybrid. Its sleek black crown offers a brilliant old-school look that effortlessly hides some seriously modern technology underneath.

Under the hood, you get Callaway’s Forged Flash Face SS21, crafted from C300 Maraging Steel, which feels incredibly energetic at impact. Behind the face, two Jailbreak A.I. Velocity Blades provide vertical stiffness to keep ball speeds high on low-face strikes - a common issue with standard hybrids.

Additionally, an 18g Tungsten weight sits in a neutral forward position, promoting higher launches, steeper landing angles, and brilliant stopping power into the greens.

Out on the course, the performance is breathtaking. It easily does the job of a higher-lofted fairway wood while remaining vastly easier to hit than a utility iron. It is exceptionally long - often flying 20 to 25 yards past similarly struck shots with rival hybrids - yet it maintains outstanding accuracy.

As Golf Monthly's resident golf tech tester, I'm a huge fan of Bushnell. They often set the standard when it comes to the best golf gadgets and its products come highly recommended as some of the best golf rangefinders on the market. With a host of top-rated reviews from myself and the Golf Monthly testing experts, it's fair to say Bushnell is the leading brand when it comes to game-improving distance measuring devices.

For Prime Day 2026, Amazon has started the discount party in style with big discounts across many of our top picks for the best Bushnell golf rangefinders. This includes the choice of almost every pro on the PGA Tour, the Bushnell Pro X3+ Laser Rangefinder, discounted by $100 to just $499.98, and our favorite compact model, the A1-Slope, down to $269.99.

Shop Bushnell Golf tech discounted by up to $100 in the Amazon Prime Day Sales.

Like all the best golf deals, these Amazon Bushnell deals are only while stocks last, so I'd suggest grabbing yours while you can. Having monitored the pricing across Bushnell products throughout the year, it's unlikely these deals will be beaten anytime soon.

Amazon Prime Day runs from 23-26 June, and there is likely to be plenty of discounts on all the best golfing essentials. Our Amazon Prime Day 2026 Golf Deals hub will be bringing you all the best early golf deals and is recommended to anyone after a bargain, whether that's for themselves or for the golfer in your life.

Below you'll find the best Bushnell prices from other retailers, including Amazon, with pricing relevant to your location and currency.

As I write this piece, I look at the thermometer in my office and see it read 32 degrees. Yes, the UK is in the midst of a major heatwave, which makes golf a lot more difficult to play if you aren't prepared for it.

As you can see by some of the venues they use on the likes of the PGA Tour and LPGA Tour, it remains possible to play golf in hot temperatures - you just have to be prepared for it.

As part of our coverage of Amazon Prime Day, I've picked out nine items that are currently on the sale rack that can prepare you for playing in the warm weather. Just make sure you're lathered up with suncream, fully hydrated and have a few of these products with you to enjoy your round in the sun.

When it comes to purchasing a golf watch, or a digital watch in general, users are truly spoilt for choice, as there are several options available at various price points.

Now though, this Amazon Prime Day, we've found one of our favorite models at a sizeable discount, and that doesn't even factor in that we ranked this the best mid-price option in our best golf watches guide.

First things first, I have actually tested this Garmin Approach S44 Golf Watch, and I am happy to say that it's a superb performer that, given the 17% reduction on Prime Day, offers excellent value for money.

Like the best Garmin products, I found there to be no fuss when unboxing the S44. This isn't a bad thing whatsoever, more the fact that you know Garmin are focusing on the quality, whereby there's an incredible amount of it.

The slim, lightweight build is extremely premium, while the crisp, 1.2-inch color AMOLED display is easy to navigate through via the touchscreen.

It was indeed the clearness of the screen that was the main stand-out, as I couldn't quite believe how concise and easy to read it was on the course.

Preloaded with 43,000 courses, the Approach S44 follows the theme of the best golf GPS devices in acting like a mini caddy. Providing distances to bunkers and hazards, it also displays front, middle and back measurements into greens.

Admittedly, I found the yardages to not be as accurate as my rangefinder, but I must add that they weren't significantly out, only a few yards; what's more, when offline, the Approach S44 is really useful, especially when you can't see the flag.

Overall, the course performance is near faultless, but there is a caveat that some shoppers should know, which is some aspects of the Approach S44 are behind a paywall, specifically information regarding green complexes.

Although this is a pain I know, the fact that this model can double up as a handy day-to-day smart watch does soften the blow somewhat.

By connecting my phone to the Approach S44, I was able to keep track of my phone notifications on my wrist, check the time, weather, daylight hours, my step count and change my music whilst in the gym and away from my phone.

If this isn't for you, the watch does allow you to choose which notifications do and don't arrive, while the battery life won't be an issue either, as the watch delivered up to 15 hours of battery life in GPS mode and much longer when not on the golf course.

Along with this excellent offer, be sure to check out a number of deals on golf equipment via Golf Monthly's Amazon Prime Day live blog and hub, which will be continuously updated throughout the week to give you all the latest money-saving offers on the best golf gear.

I've been covering shopping events for half a decade and, during that time, I've found some incredible deals on hundreds of golf products. It can be a bit overwhelming, and its easy to get lost in the numbers but thanks to some tracking tools at my disposal, I have managed to find some shoe deals that really stand out.

This Amazon Prime Day, I have been able to find 15 golf shoes that have been given reductions that really are noticeable and are greater than previous shopping events I have covered. As such I figured I should let you know just how unique these are, so let's get to the shoes...

From the best spiked models to the best spikeless models, there's bound to be a golf shoe above that suits your requirements, especially with numerous brands also on offer.

What's more, we've tested every single one of the golf shoes listed above and, consequently, we're happy to include them in this deal post as we know you will be getting value for money. Additionally we know the performance of these shoes really deliver and you will not be disappointed with whichever model you go for.

To me, what really stands out is that spiked golf shoes are on offer this Prime Day. Usually, it's just the spikeless models that receive discounts, so it's nice to see a real variation in golf shoes available.

As mentioned, we've tested every model above, and if you're after more Prime Day deals, make sure to check out our live blog and hub, which is updated regularly to showcase the value for money out there this week.

At Golf Monthly we've tested a lot of training aids over the years. We are all frequent golfers and our testing team in particular regularly get bits of gear and aids to try out to improve their golf games. As such, we know what works and what doesn't, which is why I decided to create this quick guide on six of the best training aids we've tested, that all happen to be on offer during Amazon Prime Day 2026, (apart from Scottie Scheffler's training grip which I am calling a deal because it is only $10).

Now I should quickly acknowledge that each of the training aids I've picked out all help with something a little different so you therefore need to know what area of the game you need help with. I have explained what each aid helps with below to help narrow your focus.

As previously mentioned, we have tested all of the training aids included above, each of which can help with something a little different. Starting with the training grip, it is trusted by world number one Scottie Scheffler so that should give you an indication of its use! Basically it is a molded rubber training grip channels your hands into the perfect position for rock-solid consistency.

Next the ButterBlade is in essence a tiny clubhead designed to sharpen your ball-striking. Trust me, hitting this and then going back to your regular clubs, they look and feel friendlier than ever. The Eyeline Speed Trap 2.0 also helps with ball-striking but also feedback on swing path and ball flight too.

The Champkey swing trainer is designed to help you achieve a smooth, rhythmic tempo as well as help with sequencing and timing.

Next one of our absolute favorite training aids is the TRS Slider from Robert Rock. It is designed to help golfers manage right-arm mechanics, controlling the right arm function by promoting necessary movement rather than simply restricting it. As a result it really helps golfers struggling with takeaway flaws and the dreaded flying elbow as well.

Finally we have the ProSendr which provides a brilliant guide for functional wrist conditions in the golf swing. The quality of construction is top drawer, it is very simple to use and extremely effective. It’s little wonder so many of the top players in the game, including 2026 US Open champion Wyndham Clark, use it.

Many of us are tinkerers when it comes to our golf equipment, constantly changing things to find the secret to lower scores. I usually like to keep my kit consistent but after a particularly barren spell on the greens, I decided to try the TaylorMade TP5 Stripe ball and the results blew me away.

Why am I telling you this? Well because it highlighted a crucial mistake I was making on the greens. It’s also on offer this Amazon Prime Day at 16% off, so it’s the perfect time to cash in and start knocking in more putts.

After a couple of very frustrating rounds on the greens I decided to actually film myself hitting some putts and what I saw completely shocked me. Now obviously when you’re stood over the ball you’re trying to aim the putter at your intended target, so on a straight putt I’m trying to get the small line on my L.A.B Golf DF3 putter lined up with the middle of the hole.

This is exactly what I thought I was doing, that was until I watched the video back and noticed I wasn’t doing that at all. In fact I was aiming significantly right of my intended target and pulling the ball back online.

So I needed some visual feedback or assistance on what straight or perfect alignment actually looked like and the TP5 Stripe is the perfect solution. The vivid cues train your eyes to see what straight actually looks like and you then have the framework to match your putter’s sightline to it. It feels like cheating, frankly, but it’s allowed under the Rules of Golf and nearly every tour pro uses a line of some sort on their ball to help them.

I put it in play on the course and the results were immediate. I got so frustrated with how I was putting during a competition that I started using it mid round. It was the 11th hole I believe where having holed nothing up until that point I then nonchalantly rolled in a 15-footer for birdie with about 18 inches of break, followed by a 9-foot putt for par on the following hole. Clearly, there was something in this.

I’ve stuck with it ever since and it has been working really well. I only use it from around 12 feet and in - anything outside of that there are too many other variables that negate its effectiveness and it’s harder to see if it’s pointing where you want to from further away.

It still looks off sometimes so I’m still learning to trust it, but it has undoubtedly simplified my approach in that my sole focus is to line up the line on my putter with the lines on the ball and hit the ball along it, especially on short putts where the pace control is almost automatic or subconscious.

Another added benefit is that the TP5 is an excellent all-round golf ball that even back-to-back Masters champion Rory McIlroy recently switched to. So if it's good enough for him...

TaylorMade has since released a new version of the TP5 and TP5x Stripe ball for 2026 but I think many golfers would benefit from the wider, for visually obvious stripe on this previous version. Don’t forget you can use it off the tee too!

If you're at all familiar with our buying advice here at Golf Monthly, we have always and will always have the same attitude towards buying the best golf balls - if you see them discounted, act!

We're well into Amazon Prime Day, but there are still dozens of models on sale, including Rory McIlroy's ball of choice, the TaylorMade TP5, and the ball played by Tommy Fleetwood, the TP5 Pix.

If this means buying three, six or even a dozen boxes at once, you'll be better of in the long run. For example I bought three boxes of Titleist Pro V1x Left Dash golf balls when they were on offer in the March Spring Sale, and there are several bundle deals available right now from Srixon and Mizuno.

The savings really do add up, and you will be surprised by much you can save by stocking up all at once rather than buying individual sleeves from the club shop when you need them.

Whether you want one of the best premium golf balls or something more affordable like the best cheap golf balls, I've included something for everyone below.

Professional golf is in the middle of its Major season, with Wyndham Clark adding his name to a second US Open trophy at Shinnecock Hills.

The American was in imperious form and, during the week in New York, eagle-eyed viewers spotted Clark using a training aid on the range prior to his tee times, with that same model now reduced this Amazon Prime Day.

One of the main reasons for Clark's success throughout 2026, which also includes a CJ Cup Byron Nelson win, is the work he has done using the ProSENDR alongside new swing coach, Pat Coyner.

What makes the ProSENDR worth the money, you might ask, given it's a little more expensive than some of the best golf training aids that money can buy?

Well, the ProSENDR was designed by world renowned coaches David Woods and Sean Foley, with the latter previously coaching 15-time Major winner Tiger Woods.

Years of knowledge has gone into the training aid, with the point of it to help golfers improve their hand and wrist coordination, specifically getting them into the right position at the top of the backswing.

According to the ProSENDR website: "It helps prevents wrist 'run-off' by regulating radial deviation at the top of the swing.

"It promotes right wrist extension and a flat left wrist at the top and, through transition, helps shallow the downswing by maintaining contact with the back of the right hand and supports proper club head position for square strikes at impact."

As mentioned, the aid is 20% off and comes with the carbon fiber finished wrist cradle and the connection sphere. These products can be used together or, if you are wanting to work on one particular aspect, separately.

In simple terms, the wrist cradle helps wrist extension and structure, while the compression sphere shallows the club on the downswing, thus helping with more center strikes.

Either way, if it's good enough for a two-time Major champion, and around 100,000 golfers worldwide, it will certainly help your game.

Although it may not seem it, golf can be a physically draining game, especially when experiencing the hot and humid climate that the UK is going through right now.

Not only does the average golfer hit between 80-95 shots per round, but they are walking approximately six miles on average. This doesn't just put stress on the body, but on the mind, as golf requires full concentration to perform.

There are many ways of preserving energy on the course, and one of those ways is to invest in a golf push cart... Luckily, one of the best models, specifically our top pick in our push cart guide, is now 22% off this Amazon Prime Day.

Receiving five stars in our review, it's rare that'll you see a cart of this quality below $250, especially as the main stand-out of the Bag Boy Nitron is how it nails the basics.

A real no-nonsense performer that does everything you want without the hassle.

Constructed from a sturdy aluminum frame, it weighs just 7.6kg and, importantly, isn't just compact when folded down, but possesses a lightning-fast, one-motion mechanism that allows it to spring open and fold away effortlessly.

One of the main worries golfers have when purchasing a push cart is the amount of space it takes up when transporting it to and from the course.

Thankfully, we're happy to report that our tester was able to fit the cart and his golf bag of clubs in the boot of a medium-sized hatchback, albeit with not much room to spare.

The wheels do clip on and off easily, though, so there are ways of compacting the cart even further.

Before moving to the feature-packed nature of the Nitron, we must mention the bungee straps, which keep the bag attached to the cart tightly so that it doesn't twist when out on the course.

In some instances, bags will often move around due to being heavy-loaded on one side, but there was no such problem when we tested the Nitron.

This, combined with features like a scorecard holder, beverage holder, mobile phone holder, umbrella holder, as well as a handle-mounted parking brake, make this Prime Day offer a rather eye-catching one.

Along with this excellent offer, be sure to check out a number of deals on golf equipment via Golf Monthly's Amazon Prime Day live blog and hub, which will be continuously updated throughout the week to give you all the latest money-saving offers on the best golf gear.

Hello all, I've recovered from my jet lag coming back from the beautiful US of A and in a dramatic turn of events, I'm fired up!

The World Cup has started, England are one for one and now a potential all-timer of a US Open at Shinnecock Hills is underway. Life is good.

To mark the occasion, this week's show is presented by our friends at Titleist - did you know this the 78th US Open in a row in which the Pro V1 is the most popular ball in the field? What does that tell you? Joe and I delve into the reasons why that is whilst also taking a deep dive into one of the most exciting players in the field this week, Justin Thomas.

Tune into this week's episode on Spotify, Youtube and anywhere else you get your podcasts to get your weekly golf gear fix! Cheers!

As the third major championship of the men's 2026 calendar gets underway, Viktor Hovland will be hoping his flash of good form at last week's RBC Canadian Open can set him up for a week in contention at what will be a windy and difficult 72 holes at Shinnecock Hills.

Hovland tends to be one of the most eye-catching players in the major championships in terms of what he wears and the 126th US Open will be no different, with J. Lindeberg often pushing the envelope with bold designs and creations.

As the action in Long Island gets underway, J. Lindeberg have released Hovland's scripting for this week as part of their 30th anniversary celebrations - all of which you can find and buy below.

Sunday

The scripting above aren't the only items as part of J. Lindeberg's 30-Year Collection. The Coach Jacket that have me salivating from their Masters apparel drop returns, this time in a slick black colorway.

Elsewhere, knitted polos and vests that seem to have taken the golf fashion world by storm in the last year or so make an appearance with the classic but subtle J. Lindeberg branding. If you're cool enough, you could even try and pull off the black or white Mock Neck shirts - I, unfortunately, am not.

Nike always releases special edition shoes for the men's Majors and after two releases at the Masters and PGA Championship, we now see three more pairs for the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills.

The story here is based around the course itself and where it is situated. Shinnecock Hills is located in The Hamptons, an affluent area on Long Island, New York hence why the collection is known as 'Greetings from the Hamptons'. But more importantly the shoes seek to celebrate the course itself and how tough it is when a Major Championship comes to town. As such the three models feature design elements which pay homage to the treacherous course layout, at times howling winds, and the deceptive greens which have occasionally caused havoc in Majors - see 2004 U.S. Open.

There are three models included in the collection, including the Victory Tour 4, the Next% Tour 3, and finally the Air Max 90 G.

The Victory Tour 4 features a nautical color scheme in a soft baby blue whilst it also features other nautical elements such as the designs towards the heel and on the tongue. We expect Rory McIlroy to wear this shoe during the 2026 U.S. Open.

Next we have the Next% Tour 3, which has a shinier exterior than the Tour 4 above, but has similar elements such as the Hamptons inspired insole and box design which I must admit, are pretty cool. We expect Brooks Koepka to wear this shoe during the tournament.

The final shoe is the 90 G model which is interesting because we haven't seen a special edition version of this shoe for a while, instead it usually gets replaced with the Victory Pro 4 or newer Pegasus 1.

All of the shoes have been released on the 18th June 2026 and are available in limited quantities.

World Cup fever has officially hit the golf world with adidas unveiling a new, special edition 'Lionel Messi' inspired Codechaos golf shoe.

This limited edition golf shoe uses Messi's 'El Último Tango' F50.6 TUNIT football boot as inspiration, and it is blended with the Codechaos golf shoe to offer something that really is unique.

As you would expect the colorway here is Argentina-inspired with sky blue, ivory and gold featuring throughout. I also really like the smaller design details like the Messi logo on the tongue, and the cool special edition packaging.

As I mentioned, the boot acts as the silhouette inspiration but the golf elements introduced include the AXISLOCK stabilizer in the heel for stability during the golf swing and whilst out walking the course. You obviously then have a lot of the Codechaos design flourishes we've tested and loved, such as the full Boost cushioning that runs from the toe to the heel, and TWISTGRIP traction is worth acknowledging as well.

The final golf element I wanted to mention was adidas used Silvies Valley Ranch in Oregon for the photoshoot of this shoe. What differentiates this place is the famous goat caddies which of course makes reference to Messi being the greatest of all time in the football world. These goats are trained to serve as caddies on two of the ranch’s renowned golf courses, which is so cool in my opinion.

"For the next month, the world will be captivated by the FIFA World Cup stage," said Jeff Lienhart, General Manager Golf at adidas. "We want to celebrate this moment, and Lionel provides us with a great opportunity to do so. We partnered with our team in football (soccer) to create something special for the course that combines the best of adidas Golf and adidas Football."

We can all buy the golf shoes for $250 in adult sizes on adidas.com, the adidas app, and select retailers.

Bushnell’s dominance in the rangefinder market is such that the US optics firm has almost become a generic term for the product. You’ll see it in the bag of tour players and hackers alike, all drawn to its reputation for accuracy and durability.

In this head to head we’re putting two of its most heralded rangefinders to the test. The Tour Hybrid, as the name indicates, combines both laser and GPS in the pursuit of reliable numbers, while the Tour V7 Shift is the latest in the Tour series, which has been largely responsible for cementing Bushnell’s name in any conversation surrounding the best rangefinders. But which is the right fit for you and your golf game? Let the battle of the best Bushnell golf rangefinders begin!

Design

Bushnell typically does a solid job of combining aesthetics with build quality and ergonomics. And that’s the case with the Tour Hybrid. It’s a compact design that’s nice and tactile, with a straightforward button layout that typifies its user-friendly nature and some textured surfaces top and bottom to assist with grip. The build quality is high, with a durable feel and nice touches such as the chrome framing on the dual lenses. The blue colorway, combining a matte finish and a few accents, adds to the modern, stylish aesthetic.

However, the Tour V7 Shift might just win the design battle. It’s hard to argue with its black and orange color scheme; it’s subtle and classy and looks like the kind of rangefinder that James Bond might use should he need one! The matte finish is finished with some chrome flourishes and there’s texturing top and bottom, as with the Tour Hybrid, to help add some grip. Overall it’s a robust unit with a distinctly premium look that feels great in the hand.

Display

With 6x magnification, the Tour Hybrid brings some superbly sharp optics to the table, which makes the job of picking out your target far easier. The addition of the GPS functionality means that you don’t just get your number to the pin but also front, middle and back of the green yardages, which are projected directly into the viewfinder. If it sounds perfect, it’s not quite so. In poorer light the graphics weren’t quite as clear as we’d like them to be. However, this is nothing more than a minor issue and we never truly struggled to read the display.

Given that the Tour V6 Shift’s optics and display were one of its many strong points, we were glad to see that the updated V7 Shift isn’t radically different. The OLED display is once again crystal clear, and with the press of a button is illuminated like the Vegas strip. The numbers are easy to read, with a color-coded system used to differentiate between the actual yardage and the slope-adjusted number - it’s orange for the former and green for the latter. Combined it makes for a display that’s nothing short of class-leading.

Features

The Tour Hybrid manages to successfully manage a balancing act of being extremely user-friendly while still packing in lots of impressive features. We’ve already mentioned the built-in GPS, which out on the course really does add another level of detail. Being able to look at the distances to the front, middle and back of the green in relation to your pin yardage helps you to make a more informed decision on your strategy, especially if you don’t have a pin sheet, or a caddie, to help you out. It’s also the first Bushnell rangefinder offering both laser and GPS slope-adjusted yardages; as for the slope it’s turned on and off with ease via a button on the side of the unit.

JOLT is a proprietary feature that helps Bushnell owners know when they have locked in on the flagstick. It delivers both a short burst of vibration and a flashing red circle to confirm that you have selected the right target rather than a tree or bush behind the green. It’s a smart bit of tech that does add peace of mind. As does the IPX6 waterproof rating that allows the Tour Hybrid to perform its duties even when the weather turns bad.

As mentioned, the Tour V7 Shift isn't a radical departure from the previous model. The slope function uses the same switch on the side of the unit, which makes it easy to use and for your playing partner to spot; slope functions aren’t allowed to be used during competition, so this clarity is a nice touch.

There are some new features however. Pinseeker, which isolates the flagstick, and Visual JOLT are both nice additions, with it now offering a flashing orange ring around the lens as well as the regular vibration to let you know you are locked in on your target. Having tested the Tour V7 Shift in some pretty overcast conditions, both features along with the general clarity of the display were of great help.

Another handy feature is the yardage recall option, which at the press of a button, tells you your last ranged distance. LINK-Enabled technology is also on offer via Foresight sports, which allows you to add your stock club yardages and get a club recommendation sent the display using these numbers. It’s akin to having your own caddy and is another feature of the Tour V7 Shift that should bring some added confidence to your play.

Which should you choose?

Choose the Bushnell Tour Hybrid if...

- You want an easy-to-use unit
- You want in-built GPS
- You want slope adjustment on both laser and GPS distances

Choose the Bushnell Tour V7 Shift if...

- You want a class-leading display
- You don't want to buy the most expensive Bushnell laser
- You appreciate a premium look and feel

Srixon is renowned for producing some of the best golf balls on the market, and ahead of Amazon Prime Day 2026, we've hunted out an incredible golf ball deal with big discounts across the highly rated Srixon ball range.

We're always on the lookout for good golf ball discounts, and Carl's Golfland has just returned the buy 2 dozen, get 1 dozen FREE offer, which makes it worth grabbing if you're stocking up, or even looking to buy some Father's Day gifts ahead of the big day on June 21.

Get a dozen FREE Srixon Z-Star Balls when you buy 2 dozen at Carl's Golfand.

As far as deals on the best premium golf balls on the market, it's been slim pickings this year, and Carl's has dropped these deals early in an attempt to get ahead of the curve as far as beat the Amazon Prime Day discounts go. It's unlikely these deals will be beaten come the actual Prime Day Sales, running from 23-26 June.

Srixon says its range is the best balls for golfers of all levels, each designed to offer real game-enhancing performance. The Z-Star range sits atop the tree from the brand, with 2021 Masters champion Hideki Matsuyama, 2019 Open champion Shane Lowry, and multi-major championship winner Brooks Koepka all using various balls from the range.

In our testing the Z-Star range certainly ticked all the boxes for performance with Joel Tadman calling the Z-Star Diamond, "arguably the pick of the bunch when it comes to total performance from Srixon’s premium balls." and he was also full of praise for the Z-Star XV, saying, "It's hard to fault this ball, fast off the tee, playable with the irons and spinny on wedge shots, it’s the complete performance package."

Joel again found the Srixon Z-Star hard to critique, and said, "Z-Star is a premium golf ball that sets itself apart with its super soft feel and ample green side control. It may not be the longest ball for most players, but it’s a solid all-rounder that offers a consistent flight and notable durability."

The budget Srixon Soft Feel, which bagged itself a five out of five star review, with our tester saying, "With a low compression and a reasonably responsive cover, the Soft Feel is an ideal ball for those who like a good quality softer ball at a competitive price."

Aimed at female golfers, the Srixion Soft Feel Lady scored an impressive 4.5 out of 5 rating, and impressed with its super soft feel on all shots. It also impressed tester Carly Cummins, who felt it was perfect for golfers with slower or medium swing speeds, delivering an easy launch for improved accuracy and control.

Amazon Prime Day runs from 23-26 June, and there is likely to be plenty of discounts on all the best golfing essentials. Our Amazon Prime Day 2026 Golf Deals hub will be bringing you all the best early golf deals and is recommended to anyone after a bargain, whether that's for themselves or for the golfer in your life.

Below you'll find Srixon golf ball prices from other retailers, including Amazon, with pricing relevant to your location and currency.

Father's Day is nearly here, taking place on Sunday the 21st June, or US Open final round day I like to call it. I know, your heart may have just skipped a beat because you'd forgotten but don't worry, in this day and age you can get a gift incredibly quickly. This is where I come in because I have basically done the hard work for you, finding 11 golf products that any Dad will love as part of his setup.

And the great thing is, Amazon Prime Day is due to start a couple of days later, running from the 23rd to the 26th June, so there are actually a good number of early golf deals already out there, including on all the products I've picked out below. I particularly like the two deals on three dozen Srixon golf balls because they are 33% off and it can stock your Dad up all summer, whilst the four shoe deals and discounts on high-quality laser rangefinders are worth shouting about too.

You can thank me later, but I will remind you to get Dad a card as well, because I can't help you with that...

The U.S Open final round falls on 21st June, which also happens to be Father's Day. If you're still looking for a gift for that special dad in your life, why not gift them something to mark the 126th US Open at Shinnecock Hills?

The third men's major of the 2026 promises to be a special one at one at one of the best golf courses in the world - can Scottie Scheffler complete the career grand slam? Maybe Rory McIlroy can double his major win total for the year? Regardless, the final round falling on Father's Day means it is the perfect chance to gift your Father a Shinnecock Hills-themed golf gift.

Levelwear aren't the only brand doing US Open-themed apparel this go around - the likes of Peter Millar, Footjoy, BDraddy and more have collections, but none deliver the value of Levelwear. I was lucky to be sent some of Levelwear's US Open collection and it's safe to say I was massively impressed by both the quality and the price tag.

Considering the polo shirts, pullovers and hoodies are sometimes as much as half the price as competing brands, this collection is without doubt the best value memorabilia from the 126th US Open. I've picked out some of my favorites below, but there are even more options in the full collection which you can find here.

Hello.

Hopefully you can tell from the tone I write in I am dreadfully jet-lagged after returning from the US on Kick Point's now annual tour of the land of the free. The amount of content we got for you Kick Pointers, however, makes how tired I am currently feeling very worth it.

Thankfully I sound a lot more up-beat on the latest episode of the pod where Joe and I discuss 5 vintage fairway woods modern technology still can't beat. Unfortunately, those we chat about aren't available online from major retailers, so instead I've included the clubs of a certain Shane Lowry - the subject of this week's WITB segment.

It's a fairly unique bag, with a blend of the ZXI5 and ZXI7 irons as well as a rouge shout of a TaylorMade QI4D fairway wood amongst a whole host of Srixon gear. Why dive into the reasons behind these decisions on the pod.

Tune into this week's episode on Spotify, Youtube and anywhere else you get your podcasts to get your weekly golf gear fix! Cheers!
