If you’ve been golfing for some time, you know that you have a club which is far more dependable than any other in your bag. If you haven’t found your MONEY MAKER CLUB (the one you can take to the bank), you are not enjoying this game. It’s time for you to take this game more seriously and find your club that will make your “money shots”. We are talking about the shots that really count when the pressure is on.

Of course the pros count on every club to perform and you would like to achieve the same consistent performance with every club. Why not grow the strength of your game with a club that you can control.

Driver: This club is designed for distance, but you have to learn to draw or fade every shot back into the fairway.

Fairway metals and Hybrids: They are designed to nip your ball off the grass and work very well as long as you keep your head on a level plane and swing with power through the ball within a quarter inch of the ground.

Putter: Only the most premium courses have pristine smooth greens and even then, divots and ruts from clumsy feet can distort the direction for every putt. That’s why you should be pleased when you 2-putt every green.

Imagine you’re on the golf course, taking in the sights and sounds, but struggling with that pesky slice that plagues your game. You’re not alone, as many golfers face this same issue. Luckily, the Ping G430 SFT driver has been designed specifically to help you overcome the dreaded slice.

As we dive into the unique features of the Ping G430 SFT driver, we’ll also compare it to its predecessor, the Ping G425 SFT, and see which one comes out on top. Ultimately, our goal is to help you make an informed decision about whether this anti-slice driver is the right fit for your game, or if it’s just a gimmicky attempt at a solution.

Watch Now: Can it Fix a Slice? Ping G430 SFT Driver vs Ping G425 SFT

Understanding Golf Slicing and the Ping G430 SFT

Slice shots in golf can be a real challenge, and the Ping G430 SFT driver is designed to help you with this common problem. So, let’s dive into what makes this driver unique:

SFT (Straight Flight Technology)

SFT stands for Straight Flight Technology. The Ping G430 SFT has a huge 22-gram weight near the heel to help reduce slice and keep you in the fairway. Ping claims that this can help improve your slice right to left correction by up to 20 yards.

T9S+ Face

The Ping G430 SFT features an optimized driver face with variable face thickness, called T9S+. This design aims to provide better face deflection, which in turn leads to increased ball speeds and better distances.

The Problem

I take divots. And if you do, too, you know your clubs get dirty. Dirty clubs are underperforming clubs. No one should play golf with dirty clubs, period.

Sadly, while many courses have decent ball washers on the course, far fewer have an effective solution to help you clean your clubs.  Most of us are forced to carry a wet towel, a brush of some kind and a dry towel (or a really big towel that’s half wet and half dry) because, you know, moisture is no bueno for your spin.

The Solution

Caddy Splash solves this problem by combining two of the things you need to clean your clubs effectively: water and bristles. Once you are done cleaning your clubs, all you need to do is dry them. No wet, mildew-smelling, bag-staining, gross towel required.

Water is held in a four-ounce reservoir and the whole contraption clips on to your bag via a carabiner and retractable chain.  As Caddy Splash says, “Just Clip it and Rip it!”

How I Found It

I first saw the Caddy Splash on Instagram, probably as a reel or something like that. And to be honest, I didn’t give it much thought at the time. After all, I, like other Neanderthals, just soaked part of my towel at the beginning of a round and used that along with a brush when the mud got thick on my sticks.

Today, ECCO unveiled the BIOM TOUR. This new spiked golf shoe relies heavily on the Danish company’s technology to (hopefully) provide a performance edge.

The “TOUR” moniker is not something to be thrown around lightly. It’s clear that ECCO put a lot of effort into making the BIOM TOUR a suitable performance golf shoe.

ECCO’s no stranger to technology. They also love to throw around big words. I mean, what the heck is BIOM Natural Motion Technology? How does ECCO FLUIDFORM Direct Comfort Technology make a better golf shoe?

I’ll do my best to break it down.

When ECCO designates a shoe as a “BIOM” shoe, it means the shoe is built with the natural motion of the foot in mind. Between a wider last, natural flex grooves to move with your foot and a sole that sits lower to the ground, the shoe should provide a more natural fit. ECCO’s BIOM technology is simply the brand’s attempt to make their shoes feel less like.
