TaylorMade has unveiled its Qi35 Ryder Cup Edition drivers and, if you squint just right, the Team USA version looks like it belongs in Peter Parker’s golf bag.
Team USA
The red face, blue and white accents, and that web-like pattern across the crown? Pure Spider-Man energy. But here’s the thing – it actually works. The navy blue crown provides a nice contrast that keeps the patriotic theme from becoming too cartoonish, even if it does make you want to web-sling your way to the first tee.
Where TaylorMade nailed it is in the details. What’s actually on the sole is a map of the United States, the face is solid red with white score lines and “USA” is embossed right in the middle. The matching headcover continues the red, white and blue theme with a stitched American flag and silver Qi35 logos.
Team Europe
The Team Europe version takes a different approach with blue on the sole and face, contrasted by a gold crown and bottom skirt. Here’s where things get presumptuous. That gaudy gold crown feels overly ambitious, considering gold is for winners. Playing on Long Island, in front of New York crowds, with a course that rewards power over finesse? Maybe TaylorMade should have gone with silver accents to match what Europe’s trophy case will look like after Bethpage.
Sorry, boys, the blue and gold version is the participation model.
Titleist is again releasing a limited batch of the elusive Pro V1 Left Dot golf ball. Here's why the ball is so popular and how to get them.
The post This cult-favorite Titleist Pro V1 is coming back to market (act fast!) appeared first on Golf.
Mark your calendars, because here we go again.
For a limited time, which is probably until they sell out (so maybe 37 minutes), Titleist is offering a limited run of the Pro V1 Left Dot golf ball.
For those of you just learning about Left Dot today, I want to first be clear that Pro V1 Left Dot is different from Pro V1x Left Dash. It’s also different from the double-dot Pro V1x that Cam Young played on his way to winning the Wyndham Championship.
Left Dot is Left Dot, a lower-flying, lower-spinning CPO (custom performance option) version of the Pro V1. However, that statement isn’t without nuance.
Left Dot evolves by staying the same
Titleist last made Left Dot available to everyday golfers in September 2021. That was two generations removed from the current Pro V1. My point in sharing that is that while the general relationship between Left Dot and the stock Pro V1 still holds, golfers will likely find Left Dot a bit more similar to the retail Pro V1 than it was in 2021.
Arccos just dropped what could be the most significant advancement in rangefinder technology since the introduction of slope compensation. The Arccos Smart Laser Rangefinder promises to deliver golf’s most precise “plays like” distance by automatically adjusting for a comprehensive menu of environmental factors that go well beyond the slope calculations we’ve grown accustomed to.
But here’s the thing: this next-level precision comes with a catch that could be a deal-breaker for many golfers.
Beyond slope: The environmental revolution
While traditional rangefinders with slope adjustment factor in elevation changes, the Arccos Smart Laser goes significantly deeper. We’re talking real-time adjustments for wind speed and direction (including gusts), temperature, humidity and altitude—all combined with precise GPS positioning across more than 40,000 mapped courses worldwide.
“We’ve taken something that is actually super-complicated and presented it in an immediately actionable way,” says Sal Syed, Arccos CEO and Co-Founder.
The concept is compelling. Instead of getting a basic yardage and trying to calculate environmental adjustments in your head (or ignoring them entirely), the Smart Laser does the heavy lifting. The display provides the actual distance, the “plays like” number, and even upper and lower bounds when wind gusts are factored in.

If you ever find yourself struggling for motivation, let me tell you: Four kids under the age of five will get you off your ass in a hurry.
I know this from experience but Nicholas Mertz, the owner of Pins and Aces and, since last December, Edel Golf, is living it in the here and now.
“I got married young and now I have four kids. You learn a lot and you grow up quickly.”
On the surface, the Pins and Aces/Edel Golf pairing seems odd. After all, Pins and Aces is a flashy, youthful golf lifestyle brand that’s growing. Edel Golf has been a struggling putter, wedge and iron brand.
Other than both being “in” the golf space and based in Colorado, the two companies had very little in common when they walked down the aisle.
I’m not going to pretend Bridgestone Golf teaming up with Pabst Blue Ribbon makes a lick of sense on paper. A golf ball company collaborating with the beer that built its reputation on being aggressively mediocre? It shouldn’t work.
Except it absolutely does.
After the initial summer release sold out faster than you could crack open a cold one, Bridgestone is bringing back their limited-edition PBR collaboration kit on Tuesday, Sept. 16. They’re calling it a Ryder Cup tie-in to celebrate Team USA, which is about as tenuous a connection as claiming your morning beer is technically breakfast because it has grains in it.
But you know what? I don’t care. It’s still cool.
What’s in the box
The kit gets you a dozen Bridgestone TOUR B RX golf balls in custom PBR packaging, plus a matching towel and putter headcover. Everything’s done up in that classic red, white and blue PBR aesthetic that screams America harder than a lifted Dodge Hemi with truck nuts.
Over the course of my nearly three decades in golf, I’ve watched countless golfers obsess over their driving distance while completely ignoring the shots that actually save strokes. They’ll spend hours at the range bombing drivers, then wonder why they can’t break 90.
“But coach, I crushed that drive 280 yards!”
Yeah, and then you took four shots to get down from 30 yards out.
Do you realize that, on average, 60 percent of golf shots happen within 100 yards of the pin? Yet players still chase distance like it’s the holy grail of golf improvement.
Meanwhile, the short-game skills that actually matter—the stuff that turns bogeys into pars and pars into birdies—get completely ignored. But here’s what really gets me: you don’t even need to leave your house to master these shots. Your living room, backyard, even your office, can become a short-game laboratory.
