HOW WE TEST
After months of testing and millions of data points, we broke down the Best Drivers for a Hook for the 2022 season.
A hook is often considered the “better player” miss but that is small consolation if you are watching the ball sail OB.
While swing mechanics are always going to play the biggest role, modern driver designs can help keep the ball in play and in the fairway more often.
For this test, 35 golfers tested 38 different models over more than 400 individual sessions. Data was collected using Foresight GCQuad Launch monitors. To minimize variables, all testers hit Titleist Pro V1 golf balls. Outliers were removed and data was aggregated before scores were calculated.

Remembering Shirley Spork
PGA Tour betting tips for the 2022 RBC Heritage
The PGA Tour heads to Harbor Town this week, and our experts have everything you need to know to bet the RBC Heritage.
R.I.P. Shirley Spork
From Richard Goldstein’s NY Times remembrance:
Spork finished second in the 1962 L.P.G.A. Championship but never won on the women’s tour. Her legacy, apart from her role as a pioneer of the women’s pro game, lay in her tutoring countless women, from duffers to fledgling pros, and in creating schools to help would-be teachers pass on her knowledge to their own students.
Spork received the Ellen Griffin Rolex Award, the L.P.G.A.’s highest teaching honor, in 1998. She was inducted into the inaugural class of the L.P.G.A. Teaching and Club Professional Hall of Fame in 2000. She won the 2015 Patty Berg Award for contributions to women’s golf and was named the L.P.G.A. Teacher of the Year in 1959 and 1984.
In 1947, while attending Michigan State Normal College in Ypsilanti outside Ann Arbor, a teachers school now known as Eastern Michigan University, Spork won the first national intercollegiate golf championship for women. She graduated with a degree in physical education two years later.
During the 1950 golf season, she joined with leading women’s players, including Babe Didrikson Zaharias, Patty Berg, Louise Suggs, Betty Jameson and Marilynn Smith, to form the L.P.G.A. But in its early years, prize money was meager, the tournaments received little attention in the sports media, and the players jammed together in autos as they traveled around the country.
Quadrilateral: All 2022 Masters TV Numbers Are In
I might mention that we were the first to use Pinkerton’s at a sporting event. The club then had no fence around its property and, because of this, a considerable number of people saw no reason to buy a ticket to see our tournament. This is where Pinkerton’s come in handy. The deputies and police had too many personal friends, whereas the Pinkerton men played no favorites. CLIFFORD ROBERTS
LPGA founding member Shirley Spork dies at 94
Shirley Spork, one of the 13 founders of the LPGA Tour who learned two weeks ago she would be inducted into the LPGA Hall of Fame, died Tuesday, the LPGA said. She was 94.
Faldo: 'I got it all wrong' with Rory spoiler on 18
Said CBS analyst Nick Faldo on his Rory McIlroy call at the Masters on Sunday: "I got caught up on that for a split second and I reacted. And so you're right, I got it all wrong for a split second."
CBS Sports: 2022 Masters Up 7%, Most Watched Golf Telecast In Three Years
Tiger Woods gave early round coverage a boost but a pair of weekend 78’s made him only a small part of CBS’s coverage. Couple that with a three stroke lead by Scheffler, no major stars expected to contend Sunday and lackluster ratings all year, and CBS must be thrilled with these numbers.
They’re also declaring record streaming numbers but there are no numbers released…

The Alphard eWheels Story: Another Family Business
Alphard eWheels is a David, pure and simple.
In golf’s David versus Goliath battles, it’s usually a bad idea to bet on David. He may notch a few early wins but Goliath has the deeper pockets. And that never bodes well for ol’ Davey.
But if you’ve been following some of our business stories, you know that every once in a while there’s a David that doesn’t know when to quit. You’ve read about Karsten Solheim and the PING Anser as well as the Lamkin family story: both Davids that beat the odds. Alphard eWheels is also a family business and its unique Club Booster V2 is definitely making some noise.
The good news is that Alphard is a David in an emerging segment of the golf business. That means there are no Goliaths. Not yet.
But what Alphard does have is a unique niche, a clever product and a young owner intent on seeing his vision through.
Rahm, not Scheffler, fave for PGA Championship
