The Testing Opportunity

Not everyone golfs in the rain but if you do it is essential to have quality rain gear that will keep you dry and comfortable and still provide enough flexibility so you can perform your best.

Galway Bay has consistently performed well in our Most Wanted testing and, this year, offered to take part in MyGolfSpy Forum testing.

Galway Bay provided each tester with their Hawthorn II golf rain jacket, Seagrove II chino rain pants and golf rain gloves. Five intrepid testers volunteered to play golf in conditions that would make most of us head home. These brave souls were chosen to give us their honest opinions on how this Galway Bay rain gear performed in some of the worst conditions, how it fit and identify its strengths and weaknesses.

The “science of feel” may be the ultimate golf oxymoron. How could it be that the most subjective performance attribute in the game – how a club feels when you hit it – is the result of advanced engineering?

One would have to have a soul of stone to sully the art and emotion of feel by bringing math, computer simulation and ultra-modern technology into the equation. After all, didn’t Ben Hogan, the greatest technical tactician/golfer of them all, say it better than anyone?

“A well-hit golf shot,” he told us, “is a feeling that goes up the shaft, right through your hands and into your heart.”

You can’t wax poetically any better than that.

But, friends, we’re on the cusp of 2024. Today, we carry more technology in our pockets than Apollo 11 took to the moon over half a century ago. And while it may not please golf purists, technology can make you feel things that weren’t possible even a decade ago.

What’s better than new golf gear?

Golf gear at a discount!

As we near the end of 2023, look for prices on golf gear from the top names to start dropping in price. In fact, we’re already starting to see the prices tumble and we haven’t even reached peak Holiday shopping season.

Take, for example, the TaylorMade Stealth 2 family of clubs. The entire lineup of clubs (irons, hybrids, fairways, and even the Most Wanted Stealth 2 Plus driver) are up to $200 off. That’s a darn good deal on some of the best performing clubs of the year.

If Stealth ain’t your thing, the Callaway Paradym Driver and it’s beautiful-blue carbon chassis is also $100 off. Paradym fairways and hybrids are also discounted at this time.
