Product Expert

Hi, I’m Harry and I am a professional golf shoe tester. (Yes, they exist.) I actually test a lot of things at MyGolfSpy and play professionally when I’m not checking and comparing specs on gloves, rangefinders, bags, ball retrievers, etc. You can call me the Director of Soft Goods Testing here at MGS. You can also just call me Harry. That’s fine, too.

LIV Golf CEO and commissioner Greg Norman will be in Washington this week to meet with lawmakers to discuss the golf circuit and address concerns about its controversial ties to Saudi Arabia.

Salted Smart Insoles were one of the best products to come through the doors here at MyGolfSpy HQ. But somehow they have made it even better.

We tested the Smart Insoles back in October 2020 and loved what they were putting down. The insoles are designed to provide real-time feedback with your weight pressure in various sports. But why is understanding weight pressure especially important in the game of golf? Well, if you don’t use weight pressure properly, you end up just using arms, hitting slices/hooks, thinning shots …  It’s not a pretty picture.

So dive in with me to see what’s been updated with the Salted Smart Insoles and why the pros use their weight pressure effectively to hit those 300+ bombs.

What’s New?

The new Smart Salted Insoles are 188 grams lighter than the original version. That might not sound like much but it certainly makes a difference. They have also shaved the height and thickness of the insole without sacrificing comfort or stability.

The first app version had some bugs and wasn’t very user friendly. However, the updates have made it very easy to use and navigate. You can scroll through golf tip videos, look at your old swings, compare your swing to a professional—the list goes on.

OUR JOB IS YOUR GAME

Wedges. Other than putters, the one category where distance is last on the priority list. Instead, accuracy, consistency and spin efficiency are of utmost importance.

Here are the best wedges of 2022. Let’s take a look!

MOST WANTED SCORING

We have reformulated our 2022 Most Wanted results to a 100-point scoring system. This new system better identifies golf clubs to potentially help you shoot lower scores.

For wedges, we’ve split our key metrics into three categories: accuracy, consistency and spin. Each category is weighted through proprietary methodologies.
