Rapsodo has partnered with Titleist to introduce an RPT version of the Pro V1 golf ball.
The Pro V1 joins Callaway’s Chrome Soft X in the Rapsodo RPT ball catalog. An RPT version of the Pro V1x will be available in 2025.
What is RPT?
For those unfamiliar with the Rapsodo ecosystem, RPT is short for Rapsodo Precision Technology. RPT-enabled golf balls feature a collection of markings (spots, really) on the cover that allow the MLM2PRO launch monitor to accurately capture spin and spin axis measurements.
Why RPT matters
The MLM2PRO is what you might consider a hybrid launch monitor design. Like FlightScope MEVO, Full Swing KIT and the Garmin R10, the MLM2PRO uses Doppler radar to measure things like ball speed, launch angle and launch direction.
Most radar-based device are reasonably good with those basic metrics.
If you’ve done any construction projects around the house lately, you know that finding a contractor who will show up and complete the job on time and on budget is challenging, to say the least.
Real quick story … My brother is in the process of building a house. The roofer he hired took his deposit for materials and then no-showed. In the process of chasing the guy down, he ended up talking to the roofer’s mom.
Don’t’ get me started on my sprinkler guy.
My point is that it’s tough out there and good help is hard to find. So if you’re going to take on an indoor golf project, whether that’s installing four simulator bays in your new HQ, building the signature piece inside your ultimate golfer’s man cave or just finding the right stuff for your DIY installation, it goes without saying that you want to work with someone reliable, trustworthy and efficient.
At an absolute minimum, you shouldn’t need to talk to anybody’s mom (except your own).
As exciting as it is to add a new pair of golf shoes to your wardrobe, every golfer inevitably asks, ‘How much do they cost?’ The good news is you don’t need to spend more than $200 to find the best men’s golf shoes of 2024. After testing more than 50 pairs, here are the best at every price point. Choose the pair that fits your budget and your game.
Best Under $100: Skechers Go Golf Torque Sport 2 (Spiked)
Price: $85.99
Best for: Comfortable fit, lightweight, budge-conscious
Why we like it:
The Skechers Go Golf Torque Sport 2 stands out for its comfort, rivaling many spikeless shoes. It’s also lightweight. For golfers who want a comfortable, low-weight option without breaking the bank, the Skechers Go Golf Torque Sport 2 is a great choice. Despite its low price, it offers a solid level of performance and earned our best-value golf men’s spiked golf shoe of 2024.
Testing Takeaways:
Comfort: Among the most comfortable spiked shoes tested. Comparable to spikeless shoes in comfort.Lightweight: Very light, offering a sneaker-like feel for better mobility.Traction: While the traction is decent, it’s not the best, a drawback on wet or slippery conditions.Stability: Due to its flexibility, the Torque Sport 2 isn’t as stable as other spiked shoes which might be an issue for golfers seeking more support.Bottom Line:
Skechers delivers an excellent value with the Go Golf Torque Sport 2. If you’re looking for comfort and lightness without spending a lot, it’s a great choice. Just don’t expect top-tier traction or stability.
Bettinardi is updating their Queen B putter line and introducing a new Simply Balanced “zero-torque” putter line as well.The Queen B models are fresh takes on previous models and new models.The Antidote SB putters are new for 2025.Queen B putters preorders begin Nov. 19. in stores Dec. 5 with MSRP of $450The Antidote putters preorders begin Nov. 19. in stores Jan. 24 with MSRP of $430
Bettinardi’s punctuality is as precise as their machining. It has been two years since the last Queen B model refresh. That means a new one is coming next year.
(There is a way to buy these this year but I’ll get to that later.)
Anyway, Bettinardi’s Queen B line is typically a mixture of classic designs and some of their more experimental shapes. Speaking of experimental, wait until you see the new The Antidote SB putters. Not to tease you twice in as many paragraphs but those putters that Bettinardi also announced today make the Queen B models look downright normal.
We’ll get to the SB’s shortly but first let’s see what makes the B’s queens.
2025 Bettinardi Queen B line general features
Way back when, Bettinardi’s Queen B putters launched as a woman’s putter line. Perhaps not officially but the original designs were marketed with more of a feminine aesthetic. Since then, the Queen B models are presented as much more gender-neutral.
There‘s a lot of cool gear in the golf world that doesn’t always fit into Most Wanted Tests or Buyer’s Guides. You still want to know how it performs. In our We Tried It series, we put gear to the test and let you know if it works as advertised.

Phigolf 2 (Phinetworks Ltd) is new and improved. Between Phinetworks and Second Chance Ltd, North America and EU have distribution of one of most user friendly, cost friendly, golf simulators on the market.

With subscription packages, you can have access to as many as 38,000 golf courses, including courses in your own backyard (more on this later). Ultimately, it is a unique and innovative way to bring golf to your living room. Think of Wii Golf on steroids.
Sergio Garcia has reapplied for membership to the DP World Tour with an eye on being eligible for next year's European Ryder Cup team.
The PGA Tour policy board approved eligibility changes Monday that eliminate 25 cards through the FedEx Cup in the first reduction of jobs since 1983, and starting in 2026, only the top 100 in the FedEx Cup are assured full status the following year.
Lucas Glover said the PGA Tour policy board's proposal to cut field sizes by 12 golfers beginning in 2026 is "terrible" and "challenges our intelligence."
Nelly Korda, back to competition this weekend for the first time in nearly two months, ran off five straight birdies on the back nine to stage another Sunday comeback, closing with a 3-under 67 to win The Annika for her seventh LPGA Tour title this year.

Uphill putt or downhill putt. Which do you want?
One of these gives you a bit more confidence to be aggressive. The other might make you weak in the knees and cause your hands to shake.
In my opinion, and I bet many of you agree, most golfers want an uphill putt. What if we had data to support this opinion?
Uphill Versus Downhill
Over the years, our putter testing has given golfers insight as to which putters are the best from an off-the-rack perspective. Now, with the help of PuttView, we can expand putter testing beyond putters themselves. Our putter testing, in general, will change immensely. Additionally, it gives us the opportunity to test putting scenarios. Cue this uphill versus downhill putt lab.
Testing parameters
If you are new to MyGolfSpy, data is the heartbeat of our operation. Here are the parameters for this uphill versus downhill putt lab:
One thing I love about launch season is that there’s always that one surprise release that catches you completely off guard.
This year, that surprise is new and old-fashioned, unique yet familiar, odd while oddly comforting.
We’re talking about the new 2025 Cleveland HiBore XL driver.
At first glance, two questions come to mind.
First: Why would Cleveland bring back an 18-year-old driver franchise?
I like that Cleveland Golf is getting a jump on the 2025 launch season.
For a challenger brand on the outside looking in with metalwoods, getting your stuff out ahead of the January launch cacophony is simply smart marketing. When your new stuff is attention-getting, well, that’s even smarter.
The new and unique Cleveland HiBore XL driver most definitely deserves your attention. However, the new additions to Cleveland’s HALO XL fairway wood and “Hy-Wood” lines might matter the most to you.
Especially if you’re the type of golfer who heads south for an extended winter stay and could use a little lightness in your life.
Let’s examine, shall we?
