PAYNTR Golf Takes Full Control Of Destiny With IP Purchase
PAYNTR Golf is (finally) fully in the driver’s seat of its own destiny.
The budding performance brand has officially acquired full ownership of the PAYNTR brand’s intellectual property (IP) specific to golf.
So, what does that mean for you and me? In short, PAYNTR Golf had been licensing the brand from PAYNTR. Now, the duo of Mike and Mike has full control over the brand identity, product development and quality control.
Translation: they’re only getting better from here. And for a brand that’s already climbed the proverbial mountaintop? That’s scary. Not for them. Or you and me. For the other golf shoe brands that they compete with.
“Securing ownership of our intellectual property is a foundational moment for PAYNTR Golf,” said Mike Forsey, Co-founder and President of PAYNTR Golf. “Owning our brand outright
gives us the ability to protect what we’ve built, fully control our innovations, and accelerate
our long-term growth with total confidence. This isn’t just about safeguarding what we’ve
created, it’s about unlocking what comes next.”
This Cleveland x SWAG RTZ Wedge Collab Is MONEY!
This new Cleveland x SWAG RTZ wedge collab isn’t something you’d normally expect from Cleveland Golf, but it is something you didn’t know you’d crave.
Yeah, they’re pretty cool.
Frankly, we can’t remember the last time Cleveland put out a limited-edition anything, let alone an edgy, cash-based collaboration. Also frankly, we salute what sure looks like a bold move forward for the brand. We do know, however, that this is the first time SWAG has ever partnered with another golf company to create custom wedges.
If it helps, think of these wedges as a merging of Cleveland’s heritage and performance with SWAG’s bold personality and signature style.
Besides, who wouldn’t want a wedge with George Washington wearing shades on it?
These 8 Tour Stars Struggled Big Time In 2025
The Tour Championship (and Tommy Fleetwood’s victory drought) is officially behind us, so it’s a good time to look back at the 2025 season.
Tomorrow, I will be taking a look at the PGA Tour players who emerged with breakout seasons.
Today? Not to be a Debbie Downer, but today is for those who are on the struggle bus.
It’s all relative here. A bad year for an elite player might be a career best for someone else.
Regardless, these players did not live up to expectations—including their own. None of them won a tournament or contended in a major. Some were rarely cracking the top 10.
Which Bettinardi Putter Is Best For You? (2025 Test Results)
If you’re a Bettinardi loyalist, 2025 gave you plenty of options to choose from. We tested five Bettinardi putters this year across three categories: mallets, blades and zero-torque with a wide range of styles and performance traits. We’ve pulled together the test results to help you decide which model might be the best fit for your game.
Bettinardi putter test results
PuttView Handicap is a Strokes Gained–style metric where a lower (more negative) number is better. Short, medium and long putting performance are measured separately, along with an overall average.
| Model | Category | Overall | Short | Medium | Long |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bettinardi INOVAI 6.0 | Mallet | –6.8 | –6.8 | –6.4 | –7.0 |
| Bettinardi Queen B 7 | Mallet | –4.9 | –3.8 | –2.1 | –9.9 |
| Bettinardi Queen B 6 | Blade | –4.1 | –4.8 | +1.1 | –8.0 |
| Bettinardi Antidote SB2 | Zero-Torque | –6.7 | –6.4 | –7.7 | –6.0 |
| Bettinardi Antidote SB1 | Zero-Torque | –5.5 | –7.4 | –1.5 | –5.9 |
Which one is for you?
The best overall mallet from Bettinardi was the INOVAI 6.0, the blade was the Queen B 6 and the zero-torque was the Antidote SB2. If you want to look a little deeper into which one could be the best fit for your game, here’s what you should know.
Bettinardi INOVAI 6.0 – High-MOI dual-metal mallet with Roll Control face milling for added forgiveness. It delivered steady performance across all distances, with especially reliable results on short putts.
Bettinardi Queen B 7 – Compact, blade-like mallet from the Queen B line. It was one of the strongest long-putt performers in testing (–9.9) but lagged behind on short and medium distances.
History’s Mysteries: How A 50-Year-Old Court Case Shaped Today’s Golf Retail
Welcome back, fellow GolfSpies, to the eagerly anticipated next edition of History’s Mysteries. Our goal for this project has always been to examine the people, companies, products and events that helped shape our current golf world.
Today, we’re heading to the courtroom for a deep dive into an event that is singularly responsible for shaping the golf retail market as we know it today. It’s that significant.
So hop into the Hot Tub Time Machine, my friends. Our destination is 1975 and the U.S. District Court in New Orleans, where we’ll examine the paradigm-shifting court case of Golf City, Inc. v. Wilson Sporting Goods, et al.
Strap yourselves in, kiddies. This edition of History’s Mysteries makes Perry Mason, L.A. Law and Boston Legal look like a Charlie Brown special.
History’s Mysteries: What is Golf City, Inc. v. Wilson, et al all about?
Today’s golf retail landscape is pretty straightforward. Golf Galaxy or PGA TOUR Superstore can sell you anything OEMs make. As the song says, if you got the money, honey, they got the time.
The Change In Golf No One Saw Coming
Golf has never felt like this before.
Forget the country club chicés. At The Ranch at Laguna Beach, I walked into a world reimagined by women: golfers, creators, pros and designers carving out the version of golf I’ve been dying to see.
I’ll call it like it is. “Brand trips”? Usually glossy events, staged smiles, a rack of product and a handshake with a hope and a prayer you say something fabulous about their newest, most innovative, groundbreaking, undeniably earth-shattering product yet. Color me skeptical but that was what I expected boarding the plane to California.
What I found was something much different.
Let’s be real.
Women’s golf apparel hasn’t exactly had an outstanding track record. For decades, “options” meant polos cut like your brother’s, skorts designed more for dress code compliance than performance, and pastel dresses that looked like lazy copy-and-paste versions lifted from a tennis pro shop.
Ask any woman who’s played the game long enough and she’ll tell you horror stories about trying to find something “appropriate” for the course that didn’t make her feel like she raided her great-aunt Martha’s closet.
Fashion-forward? Not even close. Performance-minded? Try again.
However, it feels like the tide is shifting. Brands are starting to catch on that women are up to “you know where” with thoughtless products that ultimately don’t lead to better scores or give us that green-to-clubhouse confidence we’re looking for.
Leading that tide? adidas.
The “Three Stripes Retreat” at The Ranch wasn’t just a brand trip. It was a collaboration of athletes, designers, creators and voices that usually don’t share the same table. It was a chance to test product, sure, but more importantly to pressure-test the idea that women in golf deserve gear that, for once, doesn’t feel like an afterthought.
And if you didn’t think that doesn’t affect you? Buckle up.
Fit check
The retreat started with an exercise that broke every expectation I had. No awkward icebreakers, no staged photo ops.
Instead, adidas split us into teams and threw us into what felt like a design research project disguised as a game. Each group was handed a blank mannequin, racks of brand-new Ultimate365 apparel, shoes, socks and, yes, bucket hats. The prompt? Dress your girl for a real-world scenario. Nine holes followed by your best friend’s toddler’s birthday party? There’s an outfit for that. Brunch after a couples’ round? There’s an outfit for that.
Ten minutes. Head to toe. Go!
Before I lose you, this wasn’t just for fun. It was revealing. You saw right away just how versatile their lineup was. Skorts weren’t boxed into “country club only.” Joggers weren’t just thrown into the “athleisure” category. Pleats are most definitely making a comeback (in doses) and one look quickly transformed into two others with the swap of a hat or a sweater over the shoulders.
The next day, we took to the course. The Ranch’s nine-hole track takes you through the ebbs and flows of some of Laguna’s steepest caverns with energizing salt air wafting from just across the street. The course is home to a group called the Barefoot League, and they mean that literally. It’s golf in a surf town, no doubt. Laid-back, sun-washed and never too serious. We rolled out in our new gear, sank more putts than we expected and (not to be corny) built friendships that don’t usually last much past the handshake on 18.
