Hi Golfer,

Balls are in the air at the PGA Championship (AKA: That other major).

While I fully expect Scottie to win, Rory looks strong, and Brooks remains an absolute BEAST.

No doubt many of you will be tuning in to watch this weekend. Brandel will be in the booth, so it’s worth checking in on your thoughts about the polarizing analyst.

Here’s what you told us:

How do you feel about Brandel Chamblee as lead analyst on NBC for the U.S. Open?

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 👍 (874)
🟨🟨🟨🟨🟨⬜️ 👎 (747)
🟨⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️ I don't care/don't watch golf (153)

If nothing else, the results confirm that he is polarizing.

My two cents: I don’t always agree with him, but I appreciate that he comes prepared and understands the realities of a game that some previous analysts (despite their tour bonafides) didn’t.

Wedge Fitting and the Web

Wedge fitting is important. Can we agree on that?

Good. Now, Let’s get this on the table right away so there’s no confusion.

The absolutely, positively and unreservedly best way to get fitted for wedges is in person, outdoors, on a range, around a practice green and in a practice bunker under the watchful eye of a knowledgeable and experienced wedge fitter.

What if you can’t do that?

Is wedge fitting a problem you can solve using the worldwide web?

The FUTURE of Golf Club Design

“One of the Biggest Iron Innovations in the Last 10 Years”

In this week’s episode, we take a deep dive into COBRA’s 3D-printed LIMIT3D irons.

🧙‍♂️ Are they the future of golf, sorcery, or a little of Both?

We also discuss Rory’s win, Bridgestone Mindset balls, new (but familiar) releases from Titleist and Vokey, and new electric trolleys (I said trolleys for our UK fans) from Stewart Golf.

TaylorMade Qi10 Drivers

“Just Stunning”

We chose two testers each to put the TaylorMade Qi10, Qi10 MAX, and Qi10 LS to the test. The testers went through a fitting process to determine the best option among the stock shafts.

From there, the guys dropped their new drivers in the bag and went out to play some golf.

Here’s how it went.

The Ugliest Irons to Win a Major?

Remember These?

Crazy as it may be, the UGLY AF Cleveland VAS managed to win a Major. Cory Pavin won the 1995 US Open with the VAS in the bag.

We mention it today because back then, the US Open was the 2nd major of the year, and frankly, we liked it better that way.

To see more of the VAS (and more like them), check out our collection of the weirdest irons ever made.

Pour One Out For Nike’s Air Zoom Infinity Tour NRG

For the PGA Championship (Obviously)

While I’m not ready to bet the farm on Koepka winning the PGA Championship, his special NIKE footwear has claimed the top spot on my Mount Rushmore of major gear.

Editor’s Note: Dude, no.

With Tiger’s swift departure, Koepka is the closest thing that NIKE has to a poster child. It’s not officially his signature shoe but the Air Zoom Infinity Tour is made for Koepka, just like the Air Zoom Victory is made for Rory.

Let’s take a closer look at the unofficial, official Brooks Koepka NIKE shoe for the PGA Championship.
