Every shot in your game can be corrected with a consistent tempo. Every club in your bag is a different weight and different length to accommodate your shots of different distances. Your driver, fairway woods, hybrids and irons all have different contact points with the ground during your swing. For a consistent impact (with each club), you need a consistent tempo, for your backswing and downswing.

Golf is a simple game if you can only control your mind and point of impact with every club.

Tom Watson said that he controls his tempo by saying the word “Edelweiss” for every swing in his game.

I like to use the phrase “One annd Two” where Two is the start of my downswing to a balance finish.

Calm yourself down by choosing the right club to make your shot and then lining up your shot before you move to your stance beside your ball.

Now that Memorial Day has come and gone and summer has unofficially commenced, it’s time to ask a rather serious question.

Are you, dear reader, ready to upgrade your driver?

I’m not talking to those who rushed out to get fitted before the snow melted. I’m not talking to you lucky so-and-sos who live where you don’t get snow and think winter only as the time of year when you can’t wear shorts on the golf course.

I’m talking to you hard-core, cynical readers who scoff at each year’s new driver offerings with clever observations such as, “Nothing new here, move along.”

Or “Same marketing BS.”

The majority of us are on the same journey: to lower scores and lower our handicaps. How we get there can be a bit of a rollercoaster ride with the highest of highs, lowest of lows and occasions where things nearly go completely off the rails.

One simple, but often overlooked, aspect of scoring better is proper club gapping. When your clubs are properly gapped, it helps to minimize shots wasted getting in and out of trouble while maximizing your chance to shoot lower scores.

What is Club Gapping?

Club gapping is the distance difference between each of your clubs. For example, if you hit your 8-iron 150 yards and your 7-iron 160, your gap is 10 yards.

I love easy math.

Fundamental to the gapping process is understanding exactly how far you hit every club in your bag.

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:

The Oakley Edge Icon golf shoes. If you know me at all, I tend to go for stuff that’s flashy rather than functional. Let’s just say the Edge Icon is more Malbon than FootJoy.

Who Tried It:

Connor. Managing Editor and resident sneakerhead. From the first moment I saw the Oakley Edge Icon, I knew I had to have them. They’re so weird and funky that you can’t help but stare. Seriously, the looks I got from rocking these in a recent scramble was well worth it.

When I brought these home, my wife asked if we were going boating. Yes, they kind of look like water shoes. No, I didn’t tell her how much they cost.

Polarizing or Praiseworthy?

There are few, if any, golf shoes I’ve ever seen that are this … interesting? It’s hard to find an appropriate way to describe the Oakley Edge Icon. While I’m a big fan of the boisterous design, I understand I’m very much in the minority here.
