While Vokey isn’t saying “Ryder Cup”, I think we can assume the U.S. and European flag engravings now available on Vokey SM9 wedges have something to do with everyone’s favorite international competition.

Through Oct. 13, the U.S. and European flags are available as custom engraving options on any SM9 wedge. The caveat is that it has to be brushed steel.

Loft and Grind Options

The finish options are limited but, otherwise, all options are on the table. The flag engravings are available on all 25 retail lofts and grinds and in both right- and left-handed.

And, yes, that includes my favorite lob wedge option, the T Grind.

Each wedge includes the option of adding a match shaft band.

Long hitters apply more force into the ground than short hitters — but it’s how they do it that really counts.

How your hands are positioned on the golf club has more of an influence on the angle of your clubface at impact than most other factors in the golf swing. We are connected with the golf club in only one place: the grip. 

The grip on your golf club will help improve traction and give you confidence. The right grip can even improve distance capability. We will show you which golf grips are the best for your game and why. 

Why Do Golf Grips Matter?

We are big into equipment and technology and how much of a difference these types of things can make in your golf game. Here’s what to expect from a golf grip: 

The proper grip influences the alignment of the clubface at setup but, more importantly, at impact. Having uniform grips that suit you can lead to consistency and repeatable golf swings. A grip with better traction can increase swing speed and ball speed. The grip’s texture changes the feedback you get on each shot which plays into your overall feel and touch on the course.Golf grips, especially the proper size, will reduce tension in the hands and have positive impacts on tempo and rhythm. Proper grip size and feel can improve the overall ability to control golf shots. 

Lamkin UTx

If you like a cord grip with some tack to it, the Lamkin UTx is a great option. The outer layer of the UTx is firm and made from ACE (a tacky vibration-dampening material). The second layer of the Lamkin UTx is a full cord fabric weave. 

The combination of cord and tackiness helps improve traction and moisture-wicking capabilities. 

The Problem

Keeping your clubs neatly organized in your bag can be a hassle. While bags with 14 dividers offer some relief, bags with fewer dividers often result in clubs clashing together. This not only can leave marks on your expensive clubs but also generates that annoying “bag chatter.”

The Solution

To address this issue, golf club bag clips came up as a potential solution. These individual clips are supposed to not only help efficiently arrange your clubs but also reduce bag chatter noise. Finally, they also claim to reduce wear and tear on your clubs.

How did I find it?

Upon switching from a 14-divider cart bag to a four-way carry bag, I initially felt a bit disorganized during my rounds. My golf clubs no longer had their individual slots and were grouped in a way I was not used to. So I hit Amazon looking for a solution that could mimic the 14-way bag’s organization within the smaller frame of the new bag.

Golf club bag clips caught my attention across various platforms, particularly on Amazon, often boasting ratings around 3.4 out of five stars. With a price as low as $11 for six clips as well as the option for the number of clips you wanted to purchase ($18 for 15), I considered them a potentially good option.

How it worked (or didn’t)

Let’s delve into the performance of these golf club bag clips. Made from a robust plastic, they are pretty easy to attach to the bag in a variety of orientations. Given the plastic is pretty thick, I had zero concern about them breaking or snapping, both during installation and on the course.

I teach far more golfers that hit down on the ball too much more than those that don't hit down enough. If you are one of those golfers that typically takes big divots and hits a low ball flight then stay with me....

I have found this sequence to work nicely with all golfers looking to shallow their attack angle and improve the crispness of the strike. Try the following (with either irons or driver):

PHASE 1 - 5 drags over the top of the ball

PHASE 2 - 5 low to high pitch style shots, keeping clubhead low in the backswing

PHASE 3 - 5 half speed and half size swings sensing an ascending strike (even with irons)
