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:

Jordan ADG 4 spikeless golf shoes. The Jordan ADG 4 is one of the few golf shoes produced by NIKE/Jordan Brand that’s designed specifically for golf. Most of the Swoosh’s other golf silhouettes are lifestyle models-turned golf shoes.

How much thought did Jordan put into the ADG 4? Let’s find out.

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. Air Jordan fanboy with some (albeit a small amount) hope that the ADG 4 is decent.

What’s true about the Golfshot Golf GPS app is probably true of several dozen other golf GPS apps: blink and you’ll miss something new, cool and, more than likely, pretty useful.

Golf GPS app technology is moving forward at a bold and impressive pace. What separates the best apps from the madding crowd is, more often than not, features found only behind the paywall. That’s true of Golfshot as well.

In its most recent update, Golfshot is offering an easy-to-use Strokes Gained metric. If you’re already a Golfshot user, it probably caught you by surprise.

Golfshot Golf GPS App: Auto Strokes Gained

“This all started two years ago with the introduction of Auto Shot Tracking,” says Golfshot GM and Executive Vice President Alex Flores. “Our ability to collect data automatically on the course through an Apple watch makes it possible.”

Automatic shot detection and tracking primarily have been the domain of Arccos and Shot Scope. Traditionally, shot tracking requires a sensor in the butt end of the club. Then either a watch or some other wearable detects an impact and plots that location using GPS. The system then picks up your next shot, records the data and provides you with a shot-by-shot snapshot of your round.

The Ping Anser putter is one of the most iconic and influential putters in the history of golf. It was developed by Karsten Solheim, the founder of Ping, and was introduced in the early 1960s. The Anser design has been the foundation for numerous Ping putters and has been used by countless professional and amateur golfers. Here are some key details about the Ping Anser putter:

Key Features and Characteristics:

1. Blade Putter Design: The Ping Anser is a classic blade-style putter, known for its clean and simple design. It features a traditional look with a compact head and a straight or slightly arched neck.

2. Sole Weighting: The original Ping Anser putter incorporated sole weighting, which helped improve the putter's stability and forgiveness. The weighted sole made it easier to keep the putter head square during the putting stroke.

3. Hosel Options: The Ping Anser putter was initially available with a plumber's neck or a straight neck, providing golfers with options to suit their putting preferences and stroke types.
