Equipment Reviews

Short answer: No, it can't save your scoring. But it can make three-putting slightly less frequent. This putter feels like butter and has the best feedback of any flatstick I've used. The microhinge insert actually creates topspin like they claim.

After two months, my putts per round dropped from 34 to 31. Is that the putter or just practice? Honestly, probably both. But I'm giving this thing credit because it makes me want to practice putting, and that alone is worth the price...

I conducted a very scientific experiment: played 9 holes with Pro V1s, then 9 holes with Kirkland Signatures. Both ended up in the water on the same par 3. Conclusion? Save your money.

Okay, but seriously – the Pro V1 definitely feels better around the greens and has a softer feel off the putter. But for mid-to-high handicappers who lose 4+ balls per round? The Kirklands are 80% of the performance at 30% of the cost...

Before this rangefinder, I would eyeball distances like a caveman. "That flag looks about 150... or maybe 170?" Now I know EXACTLY how far I'm going to miss the green. Progress!

The slope function is a game-changer for hilly courses. The only downside? Knowing the exact yardage makes you realize your 7-iron doesn't actually go 160 yards like you thought. More like 145. Humbling...

Got fitted for these wedges and the fitter made it sound like I'd be spinning the ball back like a Tour pro. Spoiler: I'm not. But the wedges themselves are fantastic – great feel, consistent contact, and the grooves actually bite on the green.

The grind options are almost overwhelming (12 different grinds?!) but the fitter helped me figure out what works for my game. My up-and-down percentage has improved, though that might be because I'm too scared to chunk these expensive wedges into the ground...
