Bridgestone Tour B XS review: the soft-feel tour ball for fast swingers

A three-piece urethane tour ball built around Bridgestone's fastest staffers, at the soft, spinny end of the line. Who should play it over a Pro V1 or TP5?

Review

Under Armour HOVR Drive 2 Wide review: the golf shoe wide feet have been waiting for

A spiked, waterproof shoe built on a genuine wide last, at a value price. For broad feet, it solves a problem the big brands mostly ignore.

Nikon Coolshot Pro II vs Precision Pro NX10: how much rangefinder do you need?

One buys you the best optics and a gyro-stabilised picture; the other gives you most of the experience for a little over half the outlay. Which is the smarter buy?

Review

TaylorMade TP5x review: the faster, firmer sibling — and who it's really for

Same five-layer tour pedigree as the TP5, tuned for speed and a flatter flight. The question isn't whether it's good — it's whether you're the swing it was built for.

Review

Skechers GO GOLF Elite 6 review: is 'most comfortable shoe in golf' enough?

Skechers keeps winning the comfort argument on golf shoes. Whether that's the shoe you should buy depends entirely on how — and where — you play.

Versus

GoGoGo Vpro vs Bushnell Tour V7 Shift: do you really need to spend 5x?

Review

TRUE Linkswear LUX Pro review: the cult walking shoe that plays 18 then goes to the pub

A premium leather spikeless shoe built around walking comfort rather than a tour athlete's swing — for the golfer who walks and hates changing shoes afterwards, it's a revelation.

Review

Square Golf launch monitor review: the camera unit that undercuts the radar crowd

A newer camera-based monitor that reads club data the budget radar crowd can't — and never charges a subscription. Here's honestly where it fits in a home sim.

Versus

Garmin Approach S50 vs Shot Scope V5: slick watch or free game data?

Two very different GPS watches at two very different prices — one is the polished all-rounder, the other quietly tells you where you actually lose shots.

Review

Wilson DUO Soft review: how soft is too soft?

At 37 compression it's about the softest ball you can buy. But soft isn't a performance stat, it's a feel — so here's what that daft-low compression actually does for your game, and what it quietly costs you.

Review

Bushnell Phantom 3 review: the no-faff GPS that costs less than a wedge

No watch on your wrist, no laser to aim, no subscription — just big, glanceable yardages and slope in your pocket. For a lot of golfers that's the whole job, done, for the price of a decent round.

Versus

SkyTrak+ vs FlightScope Mevo+: your room decides this one, not your budget

Two of the smartest sim-grade launch monitors under camera-system money, and golfers agonise over the spec sheets. But the choice between them really comes down to one unglamorous thing most buyers measure last: how much space you actually have.
