Let’s talk about TaylorMade’s Milled Grind wedges. Despite being a multiple Most Wanted winner, they’re arguably still one of the best-kept secrets in golf. Already in a good place, you wouldn’t blame TaylorMade for not doing much with the MG5 generation but what we’re seeing here are some of the most significant model-to-model updates in the lineup’s history.
Fully forged
It’s no secret that golfers love the soft feel associated with forging and many lament that many of the most popular wedges on the market aren’t forged. So, you’ll likely be excited to learn that MG5 wedges are fully forged from soft carbon steel. TaylorMade makes the case that, in addition to delivering that softer feel we all crave, forging yields more consistency from part to part than casting.
Of course, it’s also true that there’s plenty of milling happening here – sole, face, grooves, hosel – so TaylorMade was already doing plenty to boost consistency.
Refined shapes
There are some vagaries here but TaylorMade has made some subtle changes to the shape of the MG5. What they describe as refined leading-edge curvature and updated topline blend make it appear more symmetrical. There are definitely personal tastes at play but I haven’t always found the MG series the most visually appealing so I’m optimistic these refinements will make the wedge a bit more appealing – particularly at address.
Saw-milled grooves (because naming is everything)
Manufacturers love to name their grooves, so here you go: TaylorMade has introduced “saw-milled grooves.” The company claims the updated geometry brings them closer to USGA limits. They get there via steeper walls, sharper edge radii and tighter tolerances.
With four days of match play remaining, the 2025 U.S. Women's Amateur at Bandon Dunes has already left a mark.

Finding the right putter grip isn’t just about feel, it’s about control. Specifically, it’s about controlling your hands during the stroke. If your grip encourages less tension and a more consistent hand position, chances are you’re going to roll in more putts.
That’s the idea behind the Golf Pride Reverse Taper. It flips the script on traditional grip design by getting larger in the lower hand instead of tapering down. I put this grip on my putter for a few weeks to see if it would help my consistency on the greens.
What Is Reverse Taper Technology?
Golf Pride’s Reverse Taper is exactly what it sounds like. It’s a putter grip that gets thicker in the lower hand.
The goal when designing this grip was to optimize both hands in the stroke and help keep the putter face square through impact.
Here’s what it offers:
I’ll be the first to say that Twitter (I refuse to use its unfortunate new name) is home to a lot of garbage.
You’ll find senseless arguing, inane staged videos and endless self-promotion. On the golf side, there are weird tracker accounts and a ridiculous number of bots claiming strange opinions.
However, if you are willing to wade through some of that cesspool, there are some outstanding people to follow. These are accounts that are worth seeking out.
When it comes to golf, I value these personalities the most. They are either funny, informative or some combination of the two. They give golf lovers uncommon insights into the game we all love.
Without further ado, here are the 10 best accounts to follow on Golf Twitter. For each one, I’ll include a recent tweet that I appreciated.

Scoring: Scheffler dominates
When it comes to scoring, there is one guy everyone has to beat.
Scottie Scheffler’s adjusted scoring average of 68.314 leads the PGA Tour in 2025. He also topped the charts in bogey avoidance (10.76%), par-4 scoring (3.91) and birdie or better percentage (25.78%). He made fewer mistakes, took advantage of scoring holes, and did it across every course and condition.
Other golfers with some strong scoring stats include:
This new FJ x Oofos collaboration is the treat your feet didn’t know they needed.
If you’re a walking golfer, you know your feet work overtime: anywhere from five to seven miles and 10,000 to 13,000 steps. Once you’re done, your feet could use some sweet, sweet luvin’,
Seeing as how you’re not likely to get a foot massage from a vintage 1983 Rachel Ward (Hey, you have your post-round fantasies, I have mine), a nice pair of the aptly named Oofos Ooahh Sport Slide sandals isn’t a bad alternative.
Put on a pair and you’ll know why they named it “Ooahh.”
FJ x Oofos Ooahh Sport Slides
If nothing else, the name Oofos is memorable. Maybe not well known, but once you hear it, you’ll remember it. The FJ in this collab is, of course, FootJoy. That’s a brand that is quite well known. Not for recovery footwear, mind you, but it is well known.
Recently, I watched a student walk onto the lesson tee with his phone in hand, eager to show me the latest swing tip he’d discovered on Instagram. After watching him butcher shot after shot trying to implement this “revolutionary” technique, I realized we had a serious problem.
Here’s my honest take: While there is indeed a lot of great content and advice online and on social media, much of what is posted and shared is doing more harm than good. After two-plus decades of teaching, I’ve identified the most damaging swing tips that keep circulating online.
These aren’t just ineffective—they’re harmful concepts that can set your game back months.
The “keep your head down” disaster
This persistent myth has gained new life through dramatic slow-motion videos. The problem? Keeping your head rigidly down destroys natural rotation and makes solid contact nearly impossible.
I see students with restricted hip turns, reverse pivots and zero weight shift. When you artificially lock your head in position, you’re fighting natural biomechanics. Your body creates compensations that interrupt the sequence needed for proper ball compression.
You’ve conquered the triple-digit barrier and consistently broken 100. Nice work. Now it’s time to set your sights on the next milestone: shooting in the 80s.
Breaking 90 isn’t just about getting there once—it’s about making it a habit. The good news? The path from the mid-90s to the high 80s is clearer than you might think.
Our friends at Shot Scope have identified six key performance metrics that matter for golfers at every skill level. When we look at these stats specifically for golfers trying to break 90, clear patterns emerge that show exactly where you need to focus your improvement efforts. These aren’t obscure metrics that require a PhD in statistics to understand. They’re simple, trackable numbers that directly impact your scorecard.

What a 90s golfer looks like
The story these numbers tell is pretty clear: golfers who break 90 keep the ball in play off the tee, hit more greens and avoid big numbers on the scorecard.
I know most of us think we know Perry Ellis, but I don’t think we know nearly as much as we think we know. At least I know that that’s what I think I know.
You know?
The eponymous brand was founded in 1978 when designer Perry Ellis launched his own fashion house on 7th Avenue in New York. He wanted fashion to be fun, accessible and wearable, as opposed to high art.
Ellis died in 1986. His brand has undergone several ownership changes and now operates as Perry Ellis International. The company owns several brands, including Ben Hogan. It makes eminently affordable apparel under the Hogan brand, while also licensing the name to Simon Millington, allowing him to continue the Ben Hogan Golf Company.
But we’re not here to talk about that today. Instead, I want to share with you the Summer/Fall 2025 line from another brand in the Perry Ellis stable, and what has become my go-to golf apparel brand: Original Penguin® by Munsingwear®.
U.S. Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley told Sports Illustrated on Wednesday that many of the players who make the American team plan to tee up at a Fall Series event in preparation for the late-September showdown against Team Europe at Bethpage Black.
