Check them out below and let us help you take your game to the next level.

Garmin Approach S70

The Garmin S70 gives you all the tools you need to improve your golf game in addition to your day-to-day health. With features like the virtual caddie, green contour data, hazard and distances to the front, middle and back of every green, you’ll be ready for any lie you face on the course. 24/7 health monitoring and Garmin’s body battery help you find the best times both for activity and rest during the day.

TaylorMade TP5 Golf Balls

Grab two dozen balls from the TP5 family from TaylorMade for $95 now for a limited time. Both the TP5 and TP5x feature a new cover design with improved durability and a seamless “tour flight” dimple pattern. Five-layer progressive construction helps to optimize spin separation between long-game and short-game clubs while their new speed-wrapped core improves on feel and sound.

Wilson DYNAPWR Irons

Wilson’s DYNAPWR irons are designed to help players achieve fast balls speeds and high launch with increased stopping power. This is achieved through a new face design combined with AI-generated Variable Face Technology, helping to achieve consistent distance, ball speed and launch. Toe-side weight distribution also helps to make the DYNAPWR irons more forgiving and higher launching.

When a $599 or $650 driver ends up at the top of a high swing speed test, no one bats an eye. That’s just how this usually goes. The biggest brands, the most marketing, and the most premium tech typically dominate the top spots, especially for players with speed.

But sometimes, something unexpected slips into the conversation.

The Sub 70 859 didn’t just show up in the 2025 Most Wanted Driver test; it earned its spot. Let’s take a closer look and see if the Sub 70 859 could be for you.

Sub 70 859

Among the 37 drivers tested at 105-plus mph swing speeds, the Sub 70 859 finished second overall for accuracy. Only the PING G440 SFT was more accurate. It also posted balanced forgiveness numbers and finished in the top third of the entire test for higher swing speeds.

Category	Score
Accuracy	9.57
Forgiveness	8.39
Distance	8.41
Overall Score	9.23 (12th overall)

Accuracy that beats out the premium drivers

The 859 is not only accurate, it’s consistent. For high swing speed players, the extra speed can turn a small miss into a big problem and the Sub 70 859 helps to combat that issue.

I’ll start with this: I don’t drink energy drinks. I don’t even drink caffeine. I’ve always associated performance drinks with high sugar and a crash before you make the turn. On the golf course, I drink water. When the founder of a new golf-specific performance drink called Course Record asked me to try it, I was hesitant but when I saw the ingredient list, I figured I would give it a shot.

I didn’t test this on the course first

The first time I tried Course Record was actually after a six-mile run. I was tired and still had a big day ahead of me. I opened the Blue Razz flavor and drank it during the cooldown.

To my surprise, I didn’t feel that jittery spike I was expecting. Instead, it was like I had just enough energy to power through the afternoon. No crash. Just steady energy. This made me feel more comfortable taking one to the golf course.

What it’s like to drink on the course

I’m not going to tell you the Course Record performance drink helped me sink every 20-footer or suddenly stripe every fairway. That’s not what this is.

What I will say is this: compared to other drinks I’ve seen on the course, this one felt like it actually made sense. It’s light, doesn’t weigh you down, and doesn’t make you feel wired.

Looking to add some serious street cred to your golf game? PUMA’s latest drop might be exactly what you’re after.

The Helsinki G is PUMA’s bold move to blur the lines between sneaker culture and golf performance. They’ve taken their classic Helsinki silhouette—a sportstyle favorite—and reimagined it for the fairway. It’s part of golf’s bigger cultural shift toward self-expression and style.

And it screams vintage PUMA vibes.

jQuery( document ).ready( function( $ ) { var slides = $( '#mgs_gallery_68435a30045da .mgs-gallery-images .mgs-gallery-image' ).length; if ( slides 6 ) { slides = 6; } $( '#mgs_gallery_68435a30045da .mgs-gallery-images' ).slick( { slidesToShow: 1, slidesToScroll: 1, fade: true, prevArrow: '', nextArrow: '', asNavFor: '#mgs_gallery_68435a30045da .mgs-gallery-thumbs', swipe: false, mobileFirst: true, } ); $( '#mgs_gallery_68435a30045da .mgs-gallery-thumbs' ).slick( { slidesToShow: ( slides - 1 ), //less than number of slides, so it always shows infinite scroll (bugfix) slidesToScroll: 1, arrows: false, asNavFor: '#mgs_gallery_68435a30045da .mgs-gallery-images', centerMode: true, focusOnSelect: true, infinite: true, mobileFirst: true, responsive: [ { breakpoint: 1023, settings: { slidesToShow: 3, }, }, { breakpoint: 600, settings: { slidesToShow: 1, }, }, ], } ); $( '#mgs_gallery_68435a30045da' ).magnificPopup( { delegate: '.mgs-gallery-trigger', type: 'image', gallery: { enabled: true, arrowMarkup: '', }, } ); } );

At $110, you’re getting five colorways that range from classic (PUMA White/Black) to statement-making (Ash Gray/Ruby Shimmer/Frosted Ivory). There’s also a clean Frosted Ivory/Green Terrain combo and two gum-sole options in black and regal blue that scream vintage vibes.

I’m a sucker for a gum-sole.

It’s easy to get caught up in a complicated golf swing. Sometimes you find yourself standing over a golf ball with a bunch of different swing thoughts racing through your head. Most golfers play their best when their mind is quiet and their swing thoughts are clear . If your golf swing is too complicated, these three thoughts simplify everything.

Feel pressure, don’t sway

If you struggle with inconsistent contact or balance issues, there’s a good chance your weight is drifting too far off the ball during the backswing. This is commonly referred to as sway.

If the old swing thought of “turn, don’t sway” is not enough to get your body doing what it needs to, then you may want to focus more on pressure. Think about where the pressure is on your feet.

A good pivot should keep the pressure on the inside of your trail foot, not the outside. If your foot rolls or your hips slide, you’re swaying, not coiling.

This thought encourages a stable base and helps you load into the trail side without drifting. It promotes a clean rotation and sets you up for better contact and weight transfer on the downswing.

SuperStroke’s latest limited-edition release proves that golf’s inexplicable love affair with donuts isn’t going anywhere. The “Glazed and Confused” collection, launching on National Donut Day (June 6), features putter grips and ball markers covered in colorful donuts and sprinkles.

Because, apparently, nothing says “make this putt” quite like pastries on your flatstick.

The sweet details

The collection includes SuperStroke’s popular Pistol 1.0 and Tour 2.0 grips in white with pink logos, surrounded by a donut explosion complete with dancing sprinkles. The six-piece ball marker set features different donut varieties including blue-, white- and pink-sprinkled options that look like they escaped from a bakery display case.

“This release is all about fun and showing some style and playfulness any time you reach for your putter or mark your ball,” says SuperStroke CEO Dean Dingman.

Golf’s donut obsession

Let’s be honest—nobody can explain golf’s bizarre connection to donuts. Maybe it’s the circular shape, maybe it’s the sugar rush needed to survive 18 holes, maybe golfers just embrace anything that’s simultaneously satisfying and potentially disappointing.

COBRA’s DS-ADAPT line came to market with bold ambitions: delivering premium performance through advanced aerodynamics, high-speed face designs and unmatched adjustability via the new FF33 hosel system. Across four head models (LS, X, MAX, MAX-K), COBRA aimed to build a long-game lineup that could appeal to every golfer.

To put these claims to the test, the MyGolfSpy Forum selected five members to review and evaluate the DS-ADAPT drivers and fairway woods. From high-speed, low-spin players to high-handicap mid-speed golfers, this diverse test group included:

bens197 (LS driver, 3W, 5W)
Hoyoymac (X driver, 3HF, 5W)
MN_Hacker (MAX-K driver, 5W, 7W)
agram57 (MAX-D driver, 4H, 5H)
Golf_Shark (LS driver, 5W, X 3W)

This recap summarizes more than two months of real-world testing with detailed simulator numbers, on-course observations and user feedback covering the highlights and limitations of the DS-ADAPT series.

Key highlights

Wide performance appeal: Every tester found a model that matched their game from low-spin bombers to slice-fighting mid-handicaps.
Step-change forgiveness: Multiple players saw tighter dispersion patterns and more playable misses, especially on toe strikes.
FutureFit 33 hosel system provided unique adjustability without altering face angle at address.
SmartPad sole design kept clubs square even at extreme hosel settings.
Consistent gapping and higher launch made fairway woods reliable off the deck and tee.
Significant distance gains for some testers; others saw improved consistency and accuracy over previous gamers.

Aesthetics and first impressions

COBRA’s understated matte finish and sleek head shaping made strong impressions across the board. The LS driver in particular was praised for its classic “pear-shaped” profile while the MAX and MAX-K lines struck a confident balance between forgiveness and modern design.

bens197: “COBRA has a real winner with this innovative technology. I wish they would promote SmartPad more aggressively.”
Hoyoymac: “They feel and sound very good. Probably the best-sounding COBRA clubs of the past 4 generations.”
MN_Hacker: “The MAX K driver appears to bring a whole new level of lateral forgiveness to the market.”
agram57: “The FF33 hosel caught my attention right away. So many settings to work with without sacrificing look at address.”
Golf_Shark: “The LS driver looks just right to my eye. COBRA’s wood shaping always seems to work well for me.”

Sound and feel were standout qualities, especially on the LS and MAX-K models. Most testers described the driver sound as solid, muted and pleasing without being overly metallic. The consistency of sound across the face was also a welcome surprise.
