Golfing News & Blog Articles

Last week, I wrote about the challenges associated with golf’s evolving technology ecosystem.

The abridged version: We have a growing assortment of golf-specific digital devices and almost none of them can talk to each other. It’s like the United Nations without translators.

While the recently announced integration between The Stack System and Rapsodo MLM2PRO launch monitors doesn’t solve the entire problem, it’s a step in the right direction for golfers using the two devices in tandem.

You still can’t order DoorDash from your Stack app but at least it now receives real-time swing speed measurements from the MLM2PRO via Bluetooth. I won’t go so far as to call it a game-changer but it does make speed training a bit easier.

It sure beats the hell out of yelling swing speed measurements and hoping your 97 doesn’t become 87 somewhere along the way.

We’re seeking four U.S.-based MyGolfSpy Forum members to test and provide feedback on the new Cleveland RTZ wedges. Each tester will receive two wedges, with fittings for selected testers encouraged to ensure accurate performance throughout testing.

I didn’t want to be the one to tell you this but the cops are after you.

Do you have any idea how fast you were driving back there coming off the 13th tee?

No, not the speed of your golf cart—we’re talking about your clubhead speed.

Unfortunately, the golf ball you are playing doesn’t jibe with your swing speed. You are only swinging your driver at 92 mph but the compression of your golf ball is best suited for swing speeds above 105 mph.

We’ll let you off with a warning this time—and a new sleeve of balls better suited for your game—but next time you might not be so lucky.

The inaugural TGL season came to a close last night with the Atlanta Drive defeating New York Golf Club, two games to none, to win the first championship.

We’ve been talking a lot about the new tech-infused simulator league around the MyGolfSpy office over the past few months. Some of us watched a few minutes and never went back. Some of us have been mildly entertained by it (or at least put the broadcast on as background noise). Some of us attended an event and enjoyed the experience.

All of us have been critical of the inferior technology they are using to make this whole league run.

But now that we are at the end of the first season, it’s time to take real stock of how the league performed. Where is thing headed?

My final grade for TGL is a B-minus. While the league is a net positive for professional golf, it feels like it has a high floor with a low ceiling.

Sometimes, knowing what not to buy is just as important as knowing what to buy. In our golf shoe testing this year, we evaluated nearly 50 different pairs. While we found plenty of shoes worth recommending, there are always a few that aren’t worth your money. Here’s a quick look at three shoes we think are worth your money and two that you might want to skip. Just a heads up: these aren’t necessarily the absolute best or worst from our tests but they’re insights we noticed during the testing process.

Skechers Go Golf Prestige SL (Spikeless)

The Skechers golf shoes did well in our 2025 testing. This Go Golf Prestige SL is a comfortable spikeless shoe with a more traditional look. There was a time when golf shoes with a traditional look screamed blisters and pain. That’s no longer the case.

The podiatrist-certified Arch Fit® insole and ECO FLIGHT cushioning prove Skechers spent some time developing this one. The Prestige SL didn’t win any traction or stability categories but earned a top five in both categories. This is the third-best spikeless shoe of 2025.
