Testers Wanted!

Can the proper golf shaft for your driver be determined solely by how you use the ground in your swing? This Testers Wanted opportunity with Terra Forza Golf Shafts will find out!

About Terra Forza

Terra Forza has taken a new approach to shaft fittings and flexes. Let’s hear about their claims directly from them.

“Our theory revolved around the idea that how a golfer loads and unloads a shaft is directly correlated to how they use the ground. After many years of studying ground reaction forces (GRF) and pressure traces, Terra Forza Golf was born, validating that theory. After some trial and error, we were able to create a line of golf shafts that matched a golfer’s pressure trace and pressure data. Our patented algorithm allows us to recognize those traces. Along with all of the pressure data coming from the TF Pressure Plates. And objectively determine the proper shaft for any golfer. We welcome you to the new ERA of fitting shafts, from the ground up.”

What Is Being Tested

For this testing opportunity, we are searching for four golfers to not only test, review and keep a Terra Forza golf shaft but also evaluate the company’s fitting method.

Selected testers will be fitted with the TF Pressure Plates system and be provided with the Terra Forza driver shaft that suits them best.

Yes, friends, it’s been a long, cold, lonely winter. If you live “up North,” it seems like years since it’s been clear. But the sun is coming.

And it’s alright.

It’s officially been spring for a little over a week now, and every spring men, women, boys and girls get their fancy turned.  And for golfers, that fancy turns to new gear. Specifically, a new driver.

There are three main reasons to buy a new driver. First, your current driver is at least five years old. In the half-decade since you last went driver shopping, OEMs have further refined their use of AI design and are getting good at minimizing distance loss when you miss the center of the face. Five years’ worth of technology is going to have tangible benefits.

The second reason to go driver shopping is, for whatever reason, your current driver doesn’t fit. Maybe it used to fit you, maybe it never did. But getting the wrong stick out of your hands and the right one into them can be a game changer.

It’s that time of year, campers. The Masters is less than a week away, so get ready for a slew of green, yellow and/or floral limited edition specials.

This year COBRA is kicking things off with the rather snappy-looking, Augusta-inspired and limited edition DARKSPEED SEASON OPENER driver. Season Opener, of course, in honor of the annual eastern Georgia get-together, which is the season-opening major.

For the record, it’s the same as COBRA’s non-Augusta-inspired, non-limited edition DARKSPEED driver, just with new, Augusta-inspired graphics.

It’s a busy design, but it does look pretty snappy. 

If you like azaleas, that is.

The face of the game is changing in the United States and Japan, the two countries leading the way in number of golfers.

Buoyed by the pandemic surge, the rise of golf entertainment venues and the emergence of golf streetwear brands, the post-pandemic golf wave continues to roll on, altering the landscape of the game in both places.

While COVID-19 has had a positive impact for golf in both countries, there are still key differences between the two when it comes to accessibility, pace of play, customs and other factors.

In this article, we’ll examine the similarities and differences between golf in the United States and ゴルフ (gorufu) in Japan.

Accessibility and Participation

There is no other country that offers as many opportunities to play golf than the United States. There were 15,963 golf courses across 13,963 golf facilities in the country at the end of 2023—surpassing the amount of Starbucks or McDonald’s locations in the country—according to the NGF.
