Ever wonder why your next drive, after sinking a birdie putt, sucks? It’s either adrenaline or that demon in your brain that makes you feel invincible. Golfers all suffer from this problem after you make a perfect drive and step up for the next tee shot, expecting perfection. The pros do it, but you are not a pro. What should you do to avoid our physical or mental demise in order to duplicate excellence in every shot?

What is the Cause of a Poor Shot?
Mishits are caused by rushing our swing and tightening up our muscles. We tend to shorten our back swing and reduce the length of our outstretched arms. I have learned that power, when serving a tennis ball, comes from relaxed muscles and the same applies to our golf swing.
(a) A loose grip helps your arm, wrist and hand muscles relax and whip through the ball.
(b) Tight arm and shoulder muscles tend to shorten your swing arc and generate hits off the outer end and toe of your club face.

Rotation Fix
Because we shorten our swing arc when we try to hit our drives further, try setting up with your ball inside of the centerline of your club face by up to an inch.
–In the worst case: if your impact is at that inside point of your club face, you will lose about 10 yards on your drive. But if you are adding more power and swing speed, with tense muscles, you will most likely find more success with your driving distance by impacting your ball at the mid point or outer club face.

-Best of all: you will not be hunting for your ball in the rough or OB, after you at least connect with your ball with the outer part of your club face. Why not setup to err anywhere on the inside of your club face?

MyGolfSpy Ball Lab is where we quantify the quality and consistency of golf balls. Today, we’re reviewing the 2023 Titleist Pro V1x. To learn more about our test process, click here.

About the Titleist Pro V1x

I suppose the Titleist Pro V1x needs no introduction.

For much of its history, it was the only four-piece ball in the Titleist lineup. In the last few years, Left Dash has joined the lineup but the stock Pro V1x is still the most popular “x” with PGA TOUR pros and consumers.

Titleist classifies the Pro V1x as a high-launch, high-spin ball. That’s certainly true within the confines of the Titleist lineup and relative to the market as a whole as well.

Like Titleist’s other premium offerings, the Pro V1x is manufactured at Ball Plant 3 in New Bedford, Mass.

Bettinardi Golf is celebrating their 25th anniversary with a monthly series of limited-edition putters.The BB30 is the eighth putter in the series.This is the first time the BB30 has been offered to the public.Available Aug. 25 with a MSRP of $900.

We are at the end of August which means it is time to take a look at the next Bettinardi XXV Anniversary limited-edition putter release—the BB30.

To recap, Bettinardi Golf is celebrating this milestone by releasing a different limited-edition putter each month, showcasing their designs from the past 25 years. For example, last month Bettinardi released a limited-edition BB43.

The BB30 is a unique addition to the anniversary cohort for a couple of reasons. First, it is the only putter in the line that features a welded neck. Second, the original version of the BB30 is perhaps the rarest of the designs being recreated.

If you like your limited-edition putters to be truly unique, the Bettinardi XXV BB30 is going to check a lot of boxes for you.

What do you mean there is a BB30?

When I saw this putter, I was surprised but also confused. You know, like the time you were expecting your parents to get you a puppy but they came home with a baby sister instead.
