The new COBRA KING Black Edition irons signal the official beginning of the end for COBRA’s current KING TOUR and CB/MB irons.

That’s not as ominous as it sounds.

For the past decade, OEMs on a two-year-plus life cycle have been giving their irons a final-year boost by offering them in black. It’s an iron set’s rite of passage. You’ve done your job so it’s time for a little cosmetic facelift to jump-start sales until your replacement is ready.

Which, if history is any guide, should be anytime between this January and next fall. We’re leaning toward the fall.

So, yeah, on the one hand, it’s a blatant cash grab. On the other hand, they almost uniformly look really, really cool.

There is a lot of cool gear in the golf equipment world that doesn’t always fit neatly 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.

What we tried:

The Canon Powershot Rangefinder. We’ve tested plenty of Nikon rangefinders so it was finally time to add another famous name to the mix.

Who tried it:

Connor. Director of Content and resident sneakerhead. We shoot on Canon cameras at the office so when I found out Canon had a rangefinder, I had to give it a whirl. Hopefully, it can make my game look better than it actually is (that’s what a camera is good for, right?)

What makes the Powershot unique?

I’ve tested more than 25 rangefinders and the Canon Powershot has one trick no other can match: it can capture photo and video. Fitting, coming from a camera company. I’ve yet to see another rangefinder that offers this functionality.

Even with the added functionality, the rangefinder must still function as a solid rangefinder in order to make my bag. How did the Powershot fare?

Our expert staff is constantly churning through and testing new golf products. Sometimes, we find something that we really gravitate towards but it doesn’t always fit neatly into an article, review or buyer’s guide. Staff Picks is a no-frills way for our staff to share the products that they love on a monthly basis. From shoes to coolers and everything in between, these items, for one reason or another, really stood out to our staff this month.

Adam Beach: L.A.B. DF.3

“It’s too easy. To be this bad at putting and no longer be bad at putting. You would buy DF3 too.”

Connor Lindeman: UNRL Concourse Pants

“The stretchiest golf pants I’ve ever worn. Period. They move with you, not against you. As someone who hates pants, these golf pants are (almost) as good as shorts.”

Tony Covey: Vokey Wedgeworks V Grind

“It’s a T Grind with more bounce. It’s the ultimate fall golf wedge.”

Ian Welke: Redvanly Larkin Hoodie

“Form fitting yet stretchy. Go to casual or golf fall hoodie. You’ll be hard pressed to find a more comfortable, casual golf hoodie out there. I can’t stop wearing this thing.”

If you don’t have at least one person in your foursome who will get a laugh from one of these funny golf gifts, it’s time to find a new foursome. Golf gets serious, and equipment and tech can be boring, but there is a time and a place for funny golf gifts. If you need some ideas, here are our favorite funny golf gifts of 2024.

Pins and Aces Beer Sleeve

The Pins and Aces Beer Sleeve holds up to seven cans. The golf beer sleeve will fit seamlessly in your bag. If you want to be a really good friend, fill the beer sleeve before you give it as a gift!

Trick Golf Ball Company Farting Golf Ball

If you thought fart jokes were reserved for middle-school boys, think again. For some reason, the concept extends well into the adult years on the golf course. The Trick Golf Ball Company Farting Golf Ball makes a farting sound when it’s hit.

You’ll have to plan how to use this one to get the most reaction from the group.

You don’t have to hit the Farting Golf Ball all that hard to trigger the sound. Sometimes, it just needs movement. We’ve seen it put in a golf bag ball pocket to surprise your friend when they reach in to grab a ball out.

Finding a great pair of golf shoes isn’t always easy. So when you do, it’s important to do everything you can to keep them around for a while. Taking care of your golf shoes will make them last longer. Here are four tips to extend the lifespan of your golf shoes.

Wear your golf shoes only on the course

This may sound obvious but wearing golf shoes off the course has become increasingly popular with the introduction of spikeless shoes. Golfers find their spikeless golf shoes so easy and comfortable that they also wear them as casual shoes.

Pavement and hard surfaces wear the soles down faster. Even if your golf shoes feel as easy to wear as your sneakers, they were made with specific materials to help improve traction and stability when you play.

If you want that to last, use your golf shoes just for golf!

Rotate between multiple pairs

Consider rotating between two or more pairs of golf shoes if you can. Allowing golf shoes, specifically leather ones, to rest and fully recover after a round of golf can help decrease the amount of wear and tear.

Susie Maxwell Berning, the three-time U.S. Women's Open winner who was a pioneer as a mother while competing on the LPGA Tour, died Wednesday after a two-year battle with lung cancer. She was 83.
