This New TaylorMade Driving Iron Might Be The Coolest Thing You’ll See All Year

I don’t know who at TaylorMade came up with the idea for this new P·UDI Bomber One driving iron but whoever you are, thank you for complicating my life.

After making nearly 65 years without even considering a 1-iron that looks sort of like a B-17 Flying Fortress, thanks to you, I now think I might want one.

Or maybe I don’t.

Like I said, it’s complicated.

TaylorMade has been killing it with limited-edition golf balls so far this year. This new limited-edition stick, however, might be one of the most creative and coolest releases of 2025. Depending on your stance on such things, it might also be the most divisive.

Excited About Happy Gilmore 2? Odyssey Has The Perfect Putter For You

On July 25, golfers will return to their happy place when Happy Gilmore 2 premiers on Netflix. It’s hard to believe that the original Happy Gilmore movie came out in 1996. 

(It’s even harder to believe that 1996 was nearly 30 years ago!)

In just a couple of weeks, we will see how the second chapter of the hockey player-turned-golfer fable unfolds. My guess is that we will see some Happy Gilmore bombs off of the tee and some putts dropped via a hockey stick.

The second part of that sentence is not a guess since I hold in my hands the Happy Gilmore 2 hockey stick putter from Odyssey.

Happy stuck it to Shooter an Odyssey hockey stick putter

One of the fun twists in the first Happy Gilmore film was when Happy finally starts sinking putts with his new hockey stick-shaped putter.

Callaway Happy Gilmore 2 Chrome Tour: Just Tap It In

Netflix’s Happy Gilmore 2 debuts July 25 and Callaway is celebrating with two limited-edition Chrome Tour offerings that cater to different golfer preferences while still appealing to one of the most iconic films within the golf genre (not that there are many to begin with).

The Happy Gilmore 2 Chrome Tour collection includes a TruTrack-adjacent hockey jersey-patterned version featuring Happy’s No.18 jersey design with “it’s all in the hips” and a cleaner white version with “just tap it in.”

Two balls, two personalities

The hockey jersey version features Happy’s No. 18 prominently displayed along with hockey stick graphics and “it’s all in the hips” prominently featured.

For golfers who prefer a cleaner look, the white version maintains the Happy Gilmore theme with “just tap it in” while keeping the visual noise to a minimum. It’s the perfect middle ground between personality and performance for those who want to keep things relatively traditional.

The missed opportunity

As is often the case with these limited editions, Callaway left some fun (or at least my idea of it) on the table. “It’s all in the hips” and “just tap it in”? Really? That’s what we’re going with?

It Won Our 2025 Player’s Iron Test — Now Let’s See What It’s Doing In PGA Tour Bags

One of the fun things to look at after the best 2025 Best Player’s Irons Test is which professionals are actually putting those clubs in play. We all know J.J. Spaun used the Srixon ZXi7 to win the 2025 U.S. Open but the ZXi7 isn’t just a one-man success story. It’s showing up in more bags across professional golf and the performance data backs it up.

Before we break down who’s playing the ZXi7, let’s take a closer look at why it earned the top spot in our test.

Why the ZXi7 ruled the 2025 player’s iron test

The Srixon ZXi7 delivered the kind of all-around performance that rarely shows up in a single iron. Among the 22 models tested, it ranked:

#1 Overall – with a final MyGolfSpy Score of 9.4#1 in Accuracy – based on Strokes Gained across 5i, 7i and PW#1 in Forgiveness – measured by consistency in ball speed, spin and carry distanceTop 10 in Distance – reliable yardage without sacrificing control

It was also one of the few irons to score near the top in both objective data and subjective feedback. Testers consistently ranked it among the best-feeling irons of the year, giving it high marks for its looks, sound and overall confidence at address.

What makes the ZXi7 so good?

If you need more information on what sets the Srixon ZXi7 apart—beyond its strong performance in testing—here are some of the things to know.

Golf Ball Flying Too High? Too Low? Here’s The Fix For Both

Golf is hard enough without your ball launching into the clouds or barely getting off the ground. As a new golfer, you’re just happy to see it airborne. As your game improves, gaining control over your ball flight becomes essential. Whether you balloon every iron shot or hit low worm burners, learning to manage high and low trajectories is a game-changer. Here’s what causes each issue and how to fix it.

If you’re hitting the ball too high

High shots that float with little distance often result from too much loft at impact. The clubface is open, the hands are behind the ball and you’re probably not taking a divot. The strike might feel OK but you’ll find that the high carry doesn’t always result in extra distance.

Try these adjustments

Move the ball slightly back in your stance: Move the ball an inch or so back from the center. It will help you reduce the loft and impact and encourage a downward strike.Deliver the handle forward: Try thinking about getting the grip to your lead thigh before the clubhead reaches the ball. That forward shaft lean is key to hitting it lower while still striking it clean.Practice stopping halfway down in your swing: At the “last parallel” (just before impact), the clubface should be pointing slightly down. If it’s pointing up, you’re likely adding loft.Control the clubface in transition: If your clubface is pointing at the sky halfway down, you’re going to add loft unless you flip it shut. Flipping it can lead to hooks. Instead, work on rotating the face down toward the ground in your rehearsal swings. That’s the move that helps de-loft the club without overdoing it. Try the Motorcycle Drill to fix this.

If you’re hitting the ball too low

Low shots that never get above tree height usually come from too little loft or a steep, punchy swing. While you may like the roll on a lower shot, you’ve lost control and, ultimately, distance by hitting it that low.

Try these adjustments

Move the ball slightly forward: Position it just ahead of center to let the clubface present more loft naturally at impact.Create speed: Slower swings don’t launch the ball as high. Increase your speed through the ball by focusing on a full finish and aggressive turn through impact.Finish with high hands: This is a simple fix. Instead of cutting off your follow-through, focus on getting your hands up over your head after the shot. It helps keep loft on the club and improves your launch angle.

Final thoughts

Once you resolve the issues causing your ball to fly too high or too low, begin training yourself to hit both high and low golf shots. Having the ability to adjust the ball flight can help you get out of a variety of situations on the course, which will help lower your scores.

If You’re Walking More Rounds This Summer, Bring These 6 Things

Walking the golf course burns more calories, helps you stay focused on your game and, if done correctly, won’t slow you down. In fact, you might feel better overall just by walking instead of riding your next rounds. Walking also means carrying or pushing your gear, managing heat and staying comfortable for four to five hours. These six things make it easier to enjoy the round and finish strong.

Callaway Golf Cooling Towel

I’m a big fan of a great golf towel. I use it to keep my hands and clubs clean and dry but I also use it for drills on the range. However, the cooling towel is different. It’s specifically to cool your neck or arms. It helps to regulate body temperature during longer walks in the heat.

This is a lightweight addition that clips to your bag. It’s a simple and affordable addition that works.

PING Tour Golf Glove

The PING Tour golf glove was the runner-up in our 2025 Best Golf Glove testing. The great thing about the PING Tour golf glove is that it gives you great grip without sacrificing feel. PING included added ventilation and moisture-wicking material to make it a good choice for walking your way through a sweaty round.

Melin A-Game Hydro Hat

The Melin A-Game Hydro Hat is more than just a way to keep your face shaded. It’s built with performance technology that helps you manage heat, sweat and sun exposure during long summer rounds.
