SportScreen Vanish review: the sim enclosure that rolls into the ceiling and hands the garage back
A retractable screen, side baffles and all, that winches up into a ceiling housing and leaves the floor clear for a car. It is the first enclosure built for the reason most people never build a simulator — and it does not solve your ceiling height.

43 of the 50 tour bags we track stop at exactly 60 degrees. Tour Edge's new wedge line stops there too
There is a 64-degree wedge on the rack in most golf shops. Across the tour bags we maintain, the highest club is a 60 in the overwhelming majority, the three that go higher do it by a degree and a half at most, and nothing in the set carries a 62, 64 or 66.

Tour Edge Hot Launch Max D vs TaylorMade Qi Max HL: the test winner against the set in every fitting bay
One of these sets won MyGolfSpy's 2026 Most Wanted title in super game-improvement irons. The other one is on the rack forty minutes from you, in a bay you can book for Saturday morning. Both of those are real reasons to buy, and only one of them is about the iron.

Mizuno Wave Hazard Pro Boa review: the grown-up waterproof I'd buy, and it isn't the one on the FootJoy wall
Full-grain leather, a Boa dial and the same Enerzy foam Mizuno puts in its running shoes. It undercuts the classic leather waterproofs by a long way, and there is one line in the small print that explains most of the gap.

Wet turf wants more bounce, wet sand wants less: the autumn wedge fix that isn't a fourth wedge
The low-bounce wedge that was perfect on firm July turf digs in November, and the 56 you rarely reach for is suddenly the better club. Most golfers buy bounce once and never revisit it, so here is what to actually do about it, short of buying a fourth wedge.

Fiberbuilt Player Preferred vs Studio Grass: same turf, and the cheaper one fixes something the flagship never will
Both mats stand on the same grass-blade turf, so feel isn't the difference. What you are actually paying for is a vibration layer rated at 94 per cent on one and a centre hitting strip on the other, and only one of those solves a problem that otherwise costs thousands.

The Solheim Cup is where 24 women get clubs built to spec. The rest get a colour and a flex letter
A Solheim Cup team is about the only place in golf where two dozen women are all built clubs to their own measurements. Walk into a shop and the same industry will sell you a paint job and a flex grade that means nothing.

TaylorMade P770 vs PING i240: one of these is a set, the other is two clubs
Both are compact, both are aimed at good ball strikers, and both turn up in Solheim Cup bags this week. But the tour usage says they are not competing for the same slot in your bag at all.

Thirteen woods and hybrids between them, and not one iron longer than a 4: inside the Solheim Cup bags we track
Nelly Korda, Rose Zhang, Charley Hull and Leona Maguire were four of the twenty-four players at Bernardus, where Europe took the Cup back 15-13. They are also four of the fifty-three bags we maintain, and the top of those bags is where the whole argument is.

Hand warmers, cart mittens and a GPS speaker: six bits of kit that make October golf bearable
Nothing here will fix your slice. All of it makes the difference between a raw, dark, wet October round being a slog and being the best golf of the year.

Speed, putting and strength: the three bits of winter practice that survive the walk back onto grass
The clocks go back, the mat and the net come out of the garage, and four months later almost nobody is any better. The work that survives the walk back onto grass has one thing in common, and most indoor practice fails the test.

Odyssey White Hot OG Rossie vs Tri-Hot 5K Double Wide: a face insert from 2000 against tungsten in the sole
Two Odyssey putters sit on the same rail for almost the same money and answer opposite questions. One is built around a face insert from the year 2000, the other around tungsten in the sole. The tiebreaker is not your stroke arc.
