Hey Golfer,

Welcome to the middle of the week. It’s a four-day for the MGS staff, but we’ve still got plenty on the calendar.

🔬 Our ball lab on Callaway’s Chrome Tour drops tomorrow, a new episode of No Putts Given lands later today, and before the week is over, be on the lookout for a killer deal on one of the most stable shoes in golf.

Before we get to that, I want to call your attention to a piece we published several years ago on Mizuno.

It won’t be on the test, but it will help set the stage for something we’re working on.

🐅 Is Scottie the Best Since Tiger?

YES! (and No)

No matter where you turn in the golf world, it seems like everyone wants to put Scottie Scheffler’s incredible past two years of play into context.

In particular, they want to know how his recent dominance compares to Tiger and other remarkable stretches we’ve witnessed in the past few decades.

The short summary is that pretty much any comparison to Tiger—outside of Jack Nicklaus—is a futile exercise.

It is fair to ask whether Scheffler is the best player in the post-Tiger era?

The answer is definitely Yes … and No.

PXG Irons - Model by Model

Sorting Through the Numbers

PXG’s iron naming conventions can be confusing. 0311, 0211, ST, and just for good measure, let’s toss in a Z (or Zed, as they say in the UK) into the mix.

PS. I love that.

In this model-by-model guide, Jamie breaks down the entire PXG lineup to help you understand which of the company’s irons might just leave you screaming KABOOM, BABY 💥

👟 Are You Wearing the Right Size Shoe?

It’s More Complicated Than You Think

Want to hear something scary? You could be wearing the wrong size shoe.

OK, it’s not that scary but the reality is that some people don’t know their actual shoe size. Do you really know, without a doubt, what size you should be wearing?

Chances are this differs from what you’re actually wearing. Unless you’ve been measured with a Brannock or a similar device, you potentially could be losing out on the performance benefits of your golf footwear.

Wearing the correct size (and many golfers don’t) is more important than you think.

Let me explain.

G/FORE, Mr. Porter Want You To Take Mental Health Seriously

Look Out for One Another

Mental health, especially men’s mental health, is not talked about as often as it should be.

Luxury boutique Mr. Porter and disruptive golf brand G/FORE hope to start a conversation with the release of a new limited-edition apparel collection.

Releasing under the private label Mr. P, the new G/FORE x Mr. P golf collection hopes to bring some awareness to men’s mental and physical health via donation. Until May 15, 50 percent of net profits from the aforementioned collection will be donated to the Mr. Porter Health in Mind Fund.

The special collaboration is headlined by seven ready-to-wear styles and two G/FORE golf shoes. The popular Gallivanter and the new Gallivan2r receive a stylish makeover courtesy of Mr. P.

In addition to shoes and apparel, the collection features a host of accessories, including the G/FORE Daytona golf bag and a logoed cabretta leather golf glove.
