TaylorMade Serves Up Pizza Party TP5 Balls (Extra Cheese Not Included)

With Callaway just having dropped the last in its limited-edition Small Dog Chrome Tour Series, TaylorMade has decided to wrap up National Dog Month by throwing a pizza party featuring its TP5 and TP5x golf balls.

Dogs probably shouldn’t eat pizza, but anyway, what we’re talking about is TP5 Pizza Party, TaylorMade’s latest “Hot Shot” release (company speak for its limited-edition golf ball drops).

Why pizza?

Who knows. Maybe it’s as simple as almost everybody loves it. And besides, nothing says “Tour-level performance” quite like pepperoni graphics.

Packaging that actually makes sense

Where TaylorMade differentiates itself in the admittedly uncrowded limited-edition golf ball space is with its commitment to packaging. If you’re going to make golf balls with a theme, you should absolutely own it. TaylorMade does that with the authentic pizza box-style packaging (even if the TP5x version looks more Ellio’s than anything cooked locally).

Choosing the Right Clubs

Selecting the appropriate golf clubs is crucial for improving your game and enjoying your time on the course. This guide will walk you through the essential factors to consider when building your ideal set.

Understanding Club Types

Each type of golf club serves a unique purpose, from long-distance shots to precise putts.

 

  • Drivers: Used for maximum distance off the tee.
  • Fairway Woods: Versatile clubs for long shots from the fairway or tee.
  • Hybrids: Combine features of irons and woods, offering forgiveness and distance.
  • Irons: Used for a variety of shots, from approaches to the green to short game play.
  • Wedges: Designed for specialized short-game shots, such as pitching, chipping, and sand shots.
  • Putters: Used for rolling the ball into the hole on the green.

Factors to Consider

Several key factors influence the best club choices for your individual game.

Skill Level

Your experience and skill level play a significant role in club selection. Beginners often benefit from more forgiving clubs, while experienced players might prefer clubs that offer more control and workability.

Callaway Goes Basic With Chrome Tour Small Dog French Bulldog Edition

It’s still August, which means it’s still National Dog Month, and if you thought Callaway was done after the Corgi, Dachshund and Yorkie editions, you clearly haven’t been paying attention.

Sticking with the small dog theme, Callaway has just released (probably while wheezing) its last (I think) Small Dog edition: the French Bulldog-themed Chrome Tour.

Why French Bulldogs?

Technically, Zizou isn’t a Frenchie. He’s a super mutt, but he was available and willing to pose with a golf ball, which saved me the trouble of knocking on up to half a dozen doors in this small neighborhood to see if I could borrow someone’s Frenchie. The damn things are everywhere.

Well, for starters, Frenchies are currently the most popular dog breed in America, which means Callaway is probably printing money here. They’ve become the pumpkin spice latte of the dog world—they’re everywhere you look, inexplicably expensive, and owned by people who think they’re unique despite being exactly like everyone else.

Plus, there’s something fitting about playing a ball themed after a dog that can barely breathe walking to its food bowl, much like most of us walking up to the 18th tee.

Four Versions, Four attitudes

Because apparently one French Bulldog design wasn’t enough to satisfy Callaway’s apparent need to corner the market on overpriced designer dog enthusiasm, they’re offering four separate dozen-ball packages to match the common Frenchie coat colors:

L.A.B. Golf’s latest putter removes the biggest barrier for skeptics

L.A.B. Golf is unveiling the new OZ.1i HS putter, which removes the biggest barrier for skeptics of the brand's putters.

The post L.A.B. Golf’s latest putter removes the biggest barrier for skeptics appeared first on Golf.

L.A.B. Golf’s New OZ.1i HS Hits One Solidly Off The Heel

L.A.B. Golf has done the unthinkable. They have released a putter that is not center-shafted! The “HS” in the name of the new OZ.1i HS stands for “heel-shafted.”

Does this mean that L.A.B. has abandoned their Lie Angle Balance technology?

Of course not. But the hosel position switch did require L.A.B. Golf to approach Lie Angle Balancing the putter from a different perspective. There are still lots of weights on the bottom but their pattern differs from that of the original OZ.1i.

Before we get to this new model, how about a quick refresher course on what makes L.A.B. Golf’s Lie Angle Balanced putters different from other zero-torque putters?

Lie Angle Balanced putters have torque

One of the common misconceptions about L.A.B. Golf putters is that they have no torque. In fact, they do have torque. That torque is what allows the putter to square to the path during the stroke. If they were truly zero-torque, the head would balance at any position when rotated 360 degrees.

What Happened To Max Homa?

There are few golfers I enjoy watching more than Max Homa.

One of the reasons is that Homa’s golf swing is a first-class ticket to Tempo Town. It feels like he swings a driver with the control of a flighted wedge. It’s such a professional move at the ball.

The second (and more important) reason is that Homa is a seemingly awesome dude with an interesting story.

He was a top amateur on a historically good Cal Golden Bears college team but went on to struggle mightily with professional golf, falling into the depths of the Korn Ferry Tour underbelly. Then he somehow emerged from that darkness with some outstanding golf the past handful of years, firmly establishing himself as one of the best players in the game.

Homa won once in 2019, twice in 2021, twice in 2022 and again in 2023. You don’t run into six Tour victories on accident. That is Rickie Fowler’s entire career.

Cleveland Golf Still Says 87 Percent Of Us Are Doing It Wrong

When it comes to bold proclamations, Cleveland Golf sure doesn’t hold back.

In this case, it may actually have a point.

For the past seven years, Cleveland Golf has boldly proclaimed that 87 percent of us who play golf are making the short game way more difficult than it needs to be.

Where, you may ask, does that math come from?

Back in 2017, Cleveland launched its cavity-backed game-improvement line of wedges, the CBX. At the time, Cleveland said, since 84 percent of us play cavity-back game-improvement irons, then 84 percent of us should be playing cavity-back game-improvement wedges instead of more traditional blade-type wedges.

Seeing the Game Clearly: Why Prescription Sunglasses Deserve a Spot in Your Golf Bag

You’ve dialed in your driver loft. You’ve debated wedge grinds. You’ve tested half a dozen golf balls just to squeeze out a little extra spin.

But here’s the question: When was the last time you thought about how clearly you see the course?

I wear prescription glasses. At first, it was just for reading, but eventually—like it does for many of us—I needed them for just about everything. Getting old sucks, don’t let anyone tell you different. But on the course? I almost never wore them, because I was always in sunglasses.

Fast forward through a streak of missed putts, and it finally clicked…

It’s not your swing. It’s your eyes.
