We recently published a guide on loft sleeves and how to fine-tune them for your driver. Adjustable weights take things further, offering even more control over common ball flight issues and performance goals. Although adjustable drivers have been around for nearly two decades, many golfers still don’t fully understand how to make the most of these features. This guide breaks down how adjustable weights on a driver work, the problems they can solve and how to dial them in properly.

How adjustable driver weights work

Adjustable weights are small, movable pieces of metal within the driver head that shift the club’s center of gravity (CG). By changing the CG, golfers will notice changes in ball flight, spin rates and launch angles.

It’s important to note that adjustable weights differ from adjustable hosels (loft sleeves). Adjustable hosels allow golfers to alter loft and lie angles independently of weight adjustments.

Types of adjustable weight systems

There are two main types of adjustable weight systems in drivers.

Sliding track system: This system allows the weights to move horizontally along the sole of the driver, creating fade or draw biases.Screw-in or removable weights: These weights are typically placed in fixed positions but can be changed to heavier or lighter options.

Different manufacturers use their proprietary weight systems but the principles remain consistent.

The 2025 PGA Championship didn’t come down to a dramatic finish. Scottie Scheffler was in control. But even without a Sunday shootout, there was plenty to learn from how the tournament played out, especially off the tee. While Distance in golf is always helpful, you’ll notice one key player doesn’t crack the top 20 in Distance off the tee. Here’s a look at who was the longest and what we learned from the driving stats at this year’s PGA.

Driving distance leaders – PGA Championship 2025

Scottie Scheffler ranked 31st for driving distance at the PGA Championship but pulled off the win. Bryson was the leader at the Masters and took the first spot again at the PGA Championship.

Notable PGA Championship stat lines . . .

In addition to the total driving distance stats, here are some other interesting PGA Championship stats

Scottie Scheffler ranked first in strokes gained total and in the top 10 in both approach and off the tee, a balanced performance that helped him separate from the field.Bryson DeChambeau led the field in driving distance and was 1st in strokes gained off the tee. His all-out power game translated to a T2 finish. Marco Penge made the most of his distance advantage, 3rd in driving distance, and 3rd in SG Total. A breakout performance for a player who didn’t have much attention going into the week. Harris English finished T2 and ranked 2nd in strokes gained approach. His iron play carried him up the leaderboard.Sam Burns ranked 15th in distance but led the field in strokes gained putting (+1.778). Short game made up for any lost yards off the tee.

With the successful first season of TGL now in the rearview mirror, where does the simulator league go from here?

Last month, ESPN reported a desire for the TGL to expand and explore including LPGA players, building on the momentum of 2025.

Now TGL has made headlines by officially announcing that Motor City Golf Club will be the next team added to the roster. The Detroit-owned team will join the league in 2027.

Now we are all asking: What TGL will do next?

Missing the green on purpose may sound ridiculous but it’s not. Smart golfers do it all the time. They base their decisions on how they play that day, the course layout, how firm or fast the greens are and even what the wind is doing.

The better you get at shot planning, the easier it is to score. Sometimes that means aiming away from the flag or even intentionally missing the green. Here are three situations where a purposeful miss could save you strokes.

To avoid short-sided trouble

You’re 130 yards out with a wedge in hand. The pin is back right with a bunker and thick rough guarding it. Instead of going at it, aim left-center. Even if you miss the green to that side, you’ve got green to work with and an uphill chip to the pin.

Short-siding yourself leaves no margin for error. A miss to the “fat side” might leave you off the green but now you have room to work with.

Unless you feel confident and have a perfect yardage, don’t chase tight pins with danger nearby. Play to the bigger target and take double bogey out of play.

Golf shoes can be expensive. With many pairs coming in north of $150, making that pair of kicks last longer than one season is a big deal. The products in this article will help to do just that: extend the life of your golf shoes. Keep them fresh, keep them clean and make them last with these shoe care essentials.

RESHOEVN8R Waterproof Shoe Protector

Not all golf shoes are created equal when it comes to wetness protection. (“Water-resistant” is not the same as “waterproof”!) Wet feet are an absolute no-go in my opinion. If the pair of shoes you’ve had your eye on lacks in that department, fear not. RESHOEVN8R offers a waterproof shoe protector spray to keep your feet dry during those damp rounds. Simply spray it on, allow it to dry and your shoes are water- and stain-protected for four to six weeks.

Reshoevn8r Sneaker Cleaner Wipes

Let’s face it: sometimes you don’t have time to clean your kicks after every wear. That’s where the Sneaker Wipes from Reshoevn8r come in. Each wipe features a smooth side for quick cleanup and a textured side for stubborn stains or dried mud. These wipes are safe to use on leather, plastic, vinyl and rubber and work great on midsole scuffs.

Houndsbay Cedar Shoe Trees

Are you a fan of traditional golf shoes? If so, a good pair of shoe trees will help you to retain their form and shape throughout the season. These cedar shoe trees from Houndsbay can help to absorb moisture and dissipate odor, keeping your shoes fresh. This is the perfect accessory to keep your golf shoes looking and fitting their best over time.

ECCO Footwear Travel Kit

This shoe care essential kit from ECCO is designed for your next golf trip. Ideal for leather shoes, this kit includes shoe shampoo, moisturizer, a rain and stain guard and a microfiber cloth. By following ECCO’s three steps (clean, care and protect), you’ll prolong the look and feel of your shoes.

If your regular golf group needs to change things up and play a different format this weekend, we have you covered. Wolf is a competitive golf game that is strategic and unpredictable. If you need something to keep every player engaged, this is it.

What is Wolf in golf?

Wolf is a points-based betting game for four players. On each hole, one player becomes the “Wolf” and tees off first. As the other three players tee off, one at a time, the Wolf watches each drive and can pick one of the other golfers in the group as a partner.

Here’s the catch: once a player hits, the Wolf must decide immediately whether to choose them. If the next player tees off, the previous one is no longer an option.

Basic rules of Wolf

The Wolf format seems a little confusing at first but after a few holes you figure it out. Here are some things to help you understand the basic rules.

Establish a tee order

At the start of the round, you need to establish a tee order with players: A, B, C and D. The order will rotate throughout the round regardless of scoring.

Use Your Body, Not Just Hands in Chipping is one of the most effective tips for improving your short game. Here's why it matters — and how to do it right:

The Problem with Just Using Your Hands

• Leads to inconsistent contact — thin or fat shots

• Makes distance control difficult

• Encourages wrist flipping, which can add loft or reduce it unpredictably
