Ever wondered what the best golf balls on the market are?
Whether you’re new to MyGolfSpy or a returning reader, it’s no secret we are committed to finding the best-performing equipment for every golfer—including the best golf ball.
Our one-of-a-kind Ball Lab was born from curiosity of quality after our original robotic Golf Ball Test in 2019. Most every golfer focuses on things such as speed, launch, spin and more “observable” characteristics. But what about the quality aspect? Just how well—and how consistently—a ball is made.
“It’s what’s on the inside that counts,” could not hold more true.
After years of speaking with industry experts, embarking on countless ball plant inspections and shelling out an exorbitant amount for testing equipment and boxes of balls, we thought it was time to highlight those which have withstood our rigorous examination.
Team Europe captain Luke Donald will have double the number of captain's picks when he assembles the 12-man team that will take on the United States next year in Rome, Italy, Ryder Cup Europe announced on Tuesday.
Herb Kohler, a man’s man if there ever was one. Herb is an erratic player with a game full of surprises. He tells anyone who will listen that whether he’s playing good or bad, he’ll end up with 97. A big man with a heavy beard, Herb will count every stroke, and his incredible enthusiasm for the game of golf is amazing.

OUR JOB IS YOUR GAME
Chipping-specific clubs are not a new trend. However, PING apparently has seen an opportunity in that niche market, creating the PING ChipR.
Obviously, our interest was piqued. Join us today as we dive into a performance analysis of the PING ChipR. Is it worth a spot in your bag?
PING CHIPR TESTING
As most of you know, our bread-and-butter testing is done indoors at our testing facility in Yorktown, Va., but for this unique opportunity, we took our testing outside. We utilized a short game facility at the Golden Horseshoe Golf Club in Williamsburg, Va.
When we are conducting Most Wanted Testing or labs, our golf ball of choice is Titleist Pro V1.
The PING ChipR is designed to make chipping easier. That’s its sole purpose. So our testers hit from two different scenarios around the green: the fringe and the rough.
The Best Golf Shoes at the Tour Championship
And that’s a wrap! The Tour Championship—the PGA TOUR season finale. With only 29 players in the field (we hope Willy Z’s back heals quickly), the choices for my best golf shoes were limited but I managed to pull out some gems.
Patrick Cantlay in the FootJoy DryJoys Tour BOA
Patrick Cantlay is a very rich man, yet he’s still wearing the FootJoy DryJoys Tour BOA from 2018. Come on, Patrick, live a little. It’s OK to buy some new shoes. Yes, I know full well that Cantlay doesn’t pay a dime for his golf shoes. In any case, I do love seeing players of his status sticking with older gear.
Have any of you tried/owned a pair of the DryJoys Tour? Interestingly, the BOA variant was available only with the MyJoys customization program. I found some information from a few years back when FootJoy was running a campaign to get people to customize their own pair of the “Patrick Cantlay Shoe.”
Fast forward: FootJoy sent out an email last week after Cantlay’s win at the BMW Championship and didn’t even mention the specific model of shoe he was wearing, only that he trusted his FootJoy shoes and BOA technology You’re not that slick, FootJoy. We know you’d rather have Cantlay in some of the newer models.
Don’t give an inch, Patrick! Seems like sticking with the old shoes has been working out fine for Patty Ice.
