Titleist GTS2 review: the forgiving head that tour bags play at 9 degrees

Titleist sells this as the stability model, and the four bags on our roster that carry one are all set at ten degrees or under. That gap between how it is marketed and how it is actually used is the most useful thing about it.

4 hardware cuts, 4 software rises: every launch-monitor price move our log caught in six weeks, and SkyTrak did both on one day

We log one big American retailer's live prices across 744 products. Between August and late September the launch-monitor shelf moved eight times, and the direction depended entirely on whether the thing being priced was a box or a login.

SkyTrak ST MAX review: the sensible home-sim buy, and the discontinued SkyTrak+ that still undercuts it

The unit that sits exactly where most garage budgets land, and the only one in its bracket that runs course play without a gaming PC. The awkward part is that the model it replaced is still on shelves, cheaper, and tracking the ball the same way.

Stewart Golf Q Follow review: the best-made trolley in the category, and follow mode is its summer feature

Stewart's flagship follows you down the fairway with the handset in your pocket, is designed and engineered in Great Britain, and has just gone up in price with a new edition. The engineering earns the money. The headline feature earns it for about eight months of the year.

Uneekor EYE MINI vs Bushnell Launch Pro: both boxes now cost the same, and GSPro decides it

Uneekor has taken a four-figure cut out of the EYE MINI and Bushnell has trimmed the Launch Pro Circle B, and the two units have landed within a dollar of each other at US retail. That removes the hardware gap that used to settle this, and leaves the subscription ladder holding the entire decision.

PowaKaddy and Motocaddy agree on winter storage: full charge, room temperature, and not the garage

The clubs survive a winter in a cold shed without complaint. The battery, the grips, the shoes and the laser are the things that quietly die out there, and the two biggest trolley brands in Britain publish advice that contradicts everything you have read about storing a lithium battery.

Garmin Z82 vs Bushnell Tour V7 Shift: one puts the hole in the viewfinder, the other puts your own carry numbers in it

Both fold a second layer of information into a laser, and both sit in the same bracket. One layer is 41,000 mapped courses laid over the hole you are standing on. The other is your own launch monitor carry numbers, and it is the one the Rules of Golf switch off in anything played to a card.

Bushnell LPi Circle B review: Foresight measurement for a third less than the Launch Pro, and it never leaves the room

It runs the same Foresight Sports measurement lineage as the Launch Pro and sells for about a third less. The catch is stated plainly on the spec sheet, which is rarer than it should be: this one is indoor only, and it is the first unit at this money to stop pretending otherwise.

The 2026 wedge tests ranked a Costco three-pack above the Vokey SM11: the premium is buying grinds, not spin

MyGolfSpy's 2026 Most Wanted wedge test put a members-only Costco set ahead of the tour benchmark. The winner is not the useful part. What matters is what the wedges we do stock are charging for, and whether you are actually short of it.

Vessel Player V Pro vs Sun Mountain 2.5+: four and a half pounds and two different theories of ownership

One is tour-grade synthetic leather, sixteen pockets and a spec sheet that reads like a staff bag that shrank. The other weighs less than a third of it. Both have carbon-fibre legs, which tells you exactly where the money went.

Le Golf National hosts the Open de France this week, and its water-lined finish decides what goes in your bag

The DP World Tour is at Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines from Thursday, on a course built out of flat farmland into an amphitheatre with water down the closing stretch. It is also one of the very few Ryder Cup venues the public can simply book — which makes what the Albatros asks of a visiting golfer worth spelling out.

Mileseey GenePro G1 vs Bushnell Tour Hybrid: the screen or the viewfinder decides it

Two devices, one idea: put the laser and the GPS in the same hand. One hangs a touchscreen off the side of the barrel, the other hides the yardages inside the eyepiece. They cost about the same, which means this comes down to where you want to be looking.
