Over the past few years, Malbon Golf has led a cadre of brands looking to breathe new life to the game of golf by injecting personal style into what we wear on the course. Bridging the gap between fashion, streetwear and golf, Malbon is inspiring people to get out on the golf course and look good doing it.
After signing its first professional ambassador last year, the LPGA’s Yealimi Noh, it was only a matter of time before Malbon signed a PGA Tour pro. They chose Jason Day, an globally admired Aussie who was ranked No.1 in the world after winning the 2015 PGA Championship.
Please Welcome Jason Day to #TeamMalbon@JDayGolf pic.twitter.com/ZKEirWhvmg
— Malbon Golf (@MalbonGolf) January 2, 2024We asked Malbon founder Stephen Malbon what it means to sign an athlete of this caliber and why Jason is the perfect athlete to represent his brand on the PGA Tour.
“It means we are being seen on a professional level where golf is played at the highest level. Malbon Golf being seen on one of the most highly talented champions on tour,” Malbon said. “Jason is vulnerable, honest, and relatable when it comes to being a human being. Jason does not shy away from speaking about the highs and lows of life. The more relatable a champion can be, the more inspirational they can be to a broader audience.”
As another new year dawns, we could make the same old empty resolutions. Or we could simply resolve to play more golf.

The industry leader in launch monitors has announced an addition to their expanding lineup of simulation technologies.
Introducing Foresight Falcon.
This overhead launch monitor and golf simulator aims to capture the growing need for indoor golf simulation at a lower price (and smaller size) than Foresight’s successful GCHawk overhead launch monitor.
Here’s what you can expect from Foresight’s Falcon launch monitor and how it might be the right launch monitor for your indoor space.

43 inches long26 poundsEthernet, USB-C Wifi connectionsOn-board power supplyFour cameras14 data points collected55” x 27” hitting areaTwo-year warrantyStarts at $14,999 (includes FSX Play software)Growing Demand
If there’s anything I can surmise from the release of the Foresight Falcon, it’s that golf simulation is in high demand. Consumers are craving the ability to play, practice and learn indoors.
Every putt that you make can be sunk with every putter on the planet. Ideally you need to determine the best putter for your swing to execute the length of putt that you are about to make after you sort out the green speed and contour. That’s easier said than done but this blog will give you a road map to help you sort out the best putting solution for YOUR GAME.
This blog does not train you to read greens or the speed of every green. Reading greens is a skill that you need to learn with practice and the speed of greens is based on the cut of the grass on any given day. Test the practice putting green at the course that you are about to play to get a feel for the cut of the greens which should be consistent with the greens throughout the course.
This blog is providing types of putting swings that may suit your body for short and longer putts (requiring a longer swing). Your options are: (1) swing with your wrists, (2) rotating your hips with your core, (3) rocking your shoulders or (4) any combination of the first 3.
After you choose your target line to accommodate the contour of the green, you only have to putt your ball on that STRAIGHT line without any side spin. You can only do this if your swing is directly up your target line. Because you are swinging around the fixed location of your feet, you need to minimize rotation around the axis of your spine. The easiest way to create a consistent straight pendulum type of swing (up your target line) is to take a stance with your eyes over the ball and to swing your arms by only ROCKING YOUR SHOULDERS (#3) (as they are closest to your head and eye-lineup). That will minimize the natural arc in your swing around the axis of your spine.
Bloodline Golf used these images to show Ernie Els with his eyes over the ball and his shoulder rocking putting motion.
Unfortunately, longer putts may require a longer swing so your core and hip rotation may need to be added for the power needed to reach the hole. Never putt with your wrists for any putts as the smaller muscles in your hands will only add inconsistencies to your stroke.

If you’re a hardcore gear equipment nerd who keeps track of what’s coming and when, Vokey SM10 wedges landing in Hawaii in time for this week’s tournament at Kapalua should be pretty much what you expected.
Vokey has maintained steady two-year release cycles for as long as we can remember, and with the 24-month clock set to expire in mid-January (usually Tuesday of PGA Show week), we’re right on schedule.
As usual, Titleist and Vokey aren’t providing any details (that’s what embargoes are for). So, while Kapalua provides an opportunity for the best players in the world to put the wedges in play, for those of us interested in the performance details, it’s little more than an opportunity to look at some pictures and speculate.
Vokey SM10 Wedges – What to Expect
The best guess is that Vokey won’t upset the apple cart (or the wedge fitting cart, for that matter). The company will stick to what works, because the status quo (more or less) is working really well.
Here are some quick highlights.
It’s officially 2024! You know what that means? New golf equipment releases are approaching rapidly. We’ve all seen a few images here and there across the Internet. Yesterday, there were new sightings.
Spotted: Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Drivers.
What We Know
There are three new golf drivers that hit the USGA Conforming List:
Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke MaxCallaway Paradym Ai Smoke Max DCallaway Paradym Ai Smoke Triple DiamondCallaway Paradym Ai Smoke Max FastEach model appears to offer several loft options, including the traditional 9.0° and 10.5° driver loft options. Additionally, left handed options look likely to be available in each driver model.
Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Max
Expect the Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Max driver to be the mainstream or flagship option this year. Without going into much detail, assume this driver will be adjustable for loft, face angle, and shot shaping with the sliding back weight track.
You might think you are making the best equipment decisions for your game — but what if those decisions are actually hurting your score more than helping it?
Golfers have assumptions when it comes to their gear. A lot of these assumptions have been passed down over multiple generations, based solely on anecdotal evidence.
Unfortunately, some of them are costing you shots and seriously damaging your enjoyment of the game.
After 15 years of testing, we have disproven many of these myths and are empowering golfers to make better decisions. A more informed golfer is a happier golfer.
In no particular order, here are nine equipment myths all golfers should know.
