As we mentioned at the start of our 2023 Golf Ball Test report, the golf ball matters.
It’s the only piece of equipment you use on every shot and that could make it the single most important piece of equipment in your bag.
That said, it’s not lost on us that differences in golf ball performance can sometimes be difficult to discern. Given the challenges of deciphering ball performance in normal conditions, we don’t imagine many golfers have given much thought to how performance changes when moisture is introduced into the equation.
No worries. We’ve got you covered.
As part of our 2023 Golf Ball Test, we had the opportunity to compare golf ball performance on full wedge shots in dry and wet conditions.

The Testing Opportunity
It’s an understatement to say the original Sugar Golf ball did not have the best scores in the MyGolfSpy Ball Lab Series. In fact, the original Sugar Golf Ball was one of the lowest-ever rated balls in the series. However Sugar aimed to change this with the release of the new Sugar Pure G2 Golf Ball stating significant improvements in all areas.

There is a lot of cool gear in the golf equipment world that doesn’t always fit neatly into Most Wanted Tests or Buyer’s Guides. You still want to know how it performs. In our We Tried It series, we put gear to the test and let you know if it works as advertised.
What We Tried:
KJUS Breton Pants: Unlike typical rain pants, the KJUS Breton pants are designed to be worn on their own, not on top of your clothing.
Who Tried It:
Connor. Director of Soft Goods Testing and resident sneakerhead. I believe golf is better with a pair of cool shoes and comfortable joggers. I’ve never been a big rain-gear guy because I don’t like having multiple layers. The KJUS Breton pants intrigue me because they’re designed to be worn like ordinary golf pants.
What You Should Know
Available in two colors: Atlanta Blue or Steel GreyRetail $399Eight waist sizes and three inseam optionsDesigned to feel and play like an everyday golf pant or trouserDWR finish for hydrophobicityWhat’s the Big Deal about Pants?
The KJUS Breton waterproof pants aren’t your everyday rain pants. As mentioned, this slick pair of pants is nearly indistinguishable from your typical golf attire. Traditional rain gear is baggy, bulky and designed to fit over your shorts or pants.
This means that, if there’s any chance of rain on the course, you’ve got to pack extra gear and be prepared to throw it on at a moment’s notice. See where this is heading? The KJUS Breton waterproof pants negate this step. If there’s any chance of rain in the forecast, you can wear the Breton pants instead of your go-to pants and feel confident that you’re protected from the rain.
Bettinardi Golf continues their 25th-anniversary celebration with their 10th limited-edition putter.The Studio Stock 8 Slant features a rare neck and deep black finish.Only 250 produced.Available Oct. 31 with a MSRP of $900.
Can you believe we are down to the final three Bettinardi XXV Anniversary Series Limited-Edition putters?
When Bettinardi announced in January that they were releasing a new limited-edition putter every month, I applauded their ambition but was a bit skeptical. A new putter each month seemed a tall order and yet here we are in October with the 10th putter in the series.
Well done, Bettinardi. Your efforts have outpaced my expectations.
For the spooky season, Bettinardi has conjured up a darkly delicious version of their Studio Stock 8 putter. The spookiness is sublimely subtle. You’ll not find a scary spider or skull engraved into this Studio Stock. However, I think you’ll agree that this putter’s aesthetic is appropriate for this time of the year when the shadows are growing longer.
Hey, isn’t that a Studio Stock 9?
The first thing to address is that the Studio Stock 8 Slant is not a Studio Stock 9. I know that math is hard but those two numbers are in fact different. Admittedly, I can understand the mistake, especially since the SS9 is a familiar part of Bettinardi’s current Studio Stock line.
First-round leader Jasmine Suwannapura trailed on the leaderboard for most of the day but emerged with a one-stroke lead going into the third round of the Maybank Championship.
