The U.S. has not won a Solheim Cup since 2017. Will that change this year or will Europe keep the Cup? We break it all down.
Evnroll’s new ZERO putters feature a novel hosel design that eliminates face rotation, keeping the Face Forward during the putting stroke.The Evnroll ZERO putters are constructed from stainless steel and aircraft aluminum.They will be available late October with a MSRP of $449.
Evnroll just announced a new line of ZERO putters. Naming them “ZERO” is a bit ironic since there are way more than zero interesting things going on with these new Evnroll putters.
The ZERO line features two different mallet designs and one familiar-looking blade. One of the mallets is available in three different anodized finish colors. Most importantly, the putters have one of the wildest hosels you’ve ever seen and, for some reason, there are penguins on the headcovers.
That all seems like the opposite of zero to me.
Evnroll had a couple of reasons for naming these putters ZERO. One you could probably guess if you are familiar with Evnroll technologies but the other reason for the ZERO name came as quite the surprise.
ZERO Mishits
All of the new ZERO putters feature Evnroll’s SweetFace Technology face milling. Evnroll believes heir face grooves will allow golfers to have “ZERO” mishits.
PING isn’t your typical golf company. They release products on their own cadence, don’t sell clubs through their own website and remain one of the few major manufacturers that are privately owned.
But that’s not the weirdest thing about them.
Did you know PING owns a secret skateboard company, Slek? Tucked inconspicuously under the ZING WRX name, Slek specializes in longboards and cruiser board completes. Similar to how PING manufactures clubs, Slek does everything in house. They make the boards, wheels and trucks.
I’ve spent the last three months trying to get a hold of someone, anyone, at Slek to talk to me about what they do and the connection to PING. It’s been nothing but crickets.
To me, it seems like PING doesn’t care for anyone to know. Or maybe they don’t WANT anyone to know. Whatever the reason, I haven’t been able to find any info on why Slek even exists.

Golf is a game of opinions. Equipment, techniques, strategies—everyone has their own take and that’s what makes the sport so fascinating. Every now and then, a product comes along that stirs the pot, igniting debates and challenging the status quo. Today, we’re turning the spotlight on one such product: the Autoflex shaft.
Much like the L.A.B. Golf putters, the Autoflex shaft has drawn attention with its bold promises and unconventional properties. But does it truly live up to the hype or is it just another gimmick? Let’s break down why the Autoflex shaft has golfers so divided.
The Bold Claims: Effortless distance and accuracy
The Autoflex shaft enters the scene with a head-turning proposition: effortless distance and improved accuracy, all while requiring less exertion from the golfer. According to its creators, the shaft’s unique flexibility is designed to adapt to any swing speed, optimizing performance for players across the board. In theory, this means longer drives and straighter shots without needing to swing out of your shoes.
For many golfers, these claims sound like a dream come true—finally, a shaft that does the heavy lifting for you. But for others, the promises seem too good to be true, fueling skepticism and doubt. Can a shaft really revolutionize your game that dramatically?
The real-world results: A mixed experience
As with any product that makes big promises, the real-world feedback on the Autoflex shaft is varied. Some golfers swear by it, reporting significant gains in both distance and ease of swing. They argue that the Autoflex has transformed their game, making it easier to achieve consistent, powerful drives.
Rory McIlroy said Wednesday he wasn't trying to send a message by agreeing to team up with fellow PGA Tour star Scottie Scheffler in a made-for-TV match against LIV Golf's Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka.
Jon Rahm said he intends to play in three DP World Tour events by the end of the season to remain eligible for next year's Ryder Cup.
Brandt Snedeker is replacing Keegan Bradley as a captain's assistant for this month's Presidents Cup in Montreal.
To understand where TaylorMade’s golf ball business is today and how it got here, we need to go back nearly 10 years.
In the early twenty-teens, TaylorMade was very much a metalwoods-first company. The driver was the thing that mattered. Irons were next on the priority list. Everything else came third, which is to say that often it felt like the other categories – wedges, putters, and the golf ball – didn’t matter much at all.
None of that other stuff was critical to the brand identity and when TaylorMade wasn’t the market leader, or even among the leaders in those categories, nobody at TaylorMade seemed to care.
But, as 2015 rolled around, TaylorMade found itself in a bit of post RocketBallz slump. Over the course of little more than a year, the company frenetically released RocketBallz Stage 2, R1, R1 Black, SLDR, JetSpeed and the infinitely forgettable SLDR S.
Long-time CEO Mark King was gone, as was his not-so-long-time successor, Ben Sharpe. David Abeles, TaylorMade’s third CEO in roughly six months, was brought in to steady the ship.
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 Olukai Mākena golf shoe, the latest golf-focused footwear offering from my favorite sandals brand. Yes, it’s OK to have a favorite sandals brand. You’ve got to let the dawgs breath, ya feel?
Who Tried It:
Connor. Director of Content and resident sneakerhead. I’ve tried some of Olukai’s other golf shoe offerings and have never been too impressed. The Mākena has me excited and hesitant.
Meet Mākena
According to Olukai, “mākena” translates to many, numerous; often, much.
If the name is any indication of how frequently I’ll be grabbing this pair over the numerous others in my overflowing golf shoe closet, then that’s a good sign.
This week, golf as an entertainment product will hit one of its lowest points.
It takes an unimaginably bad idea to get into this category when you consider that the PGA Tour and LIV have evolved into something of a black hole over the past couple years.
What I’m referencing is yet another made-for-TV match that is among the more pathetic attempts at attracting eyeballs: record producer DJ Khaled playing late-night TV host Jimmy Fallon in a four-hole match.
The match is being dubbed “The Cardigan Classic” and, regrettably, will be aired on NBC this Friday, Sept. 13, at 11:35 p.m. Eastern time. It is being presented by a car brand which I refuse to name. Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course, host of the American Century Championship, is the battleground.
The Friday the 13th match should satisfy horror enthusiasts as two 20-handicap golfers hack it around Lake Tahoe. Fallon jokingly called it “possibly the most intense athletic competition to ever air on television”—and Khaled might actually feel that way based on a misunderstanding in a recent made-for-TV match he didn’t play.
