Custom golf clubs are clubs that are tailored to fit a golfer's individual swing characteristics, body measurements, and preferences. Here's how custom golf clubs work and some of the benefits they offer:

1. Custom Fitting Process: The first step in getting custom golf clubs is a fitting session with a professional club fitter. During this session, the fitter will analyze various aspects of your swing, including clubhead speed, ball flight, launch angle, and spin rate. They may also take measurements of your height, arm length, hand size, and grip preferences.

2. Club Selection: Based on the data collected during the fitting session, the club fitter will recommend the optimal combination of clubhead design, shaft material, shaft flex, shaft length, lie angle, grip size, and other specifications to maximize your performance and comfort.

3. Shaft Selection: The shaft is a critical component of custom golf clubs, as it influences the club's feel, trajectory, and accuracy. Custom shaft options include different materials (such as steel, graphite, or composite), flex profiles (such as regular, stiff, or extra stiff), and weights to suit your swing characteristics and preferences.

4. Clubhead Design: Custom golf clubs may feature clubheads with specific designs, such as cavity-back, blade, or hybrid designs, to match your skill level and playing style. The club fitter may also adjust the clubhead's loft, lie angle, and weight distribution to optimize launch conditions and ball flight.

As he prepares to defend his 2023 PGA Championship victory, Brooks Koepka is hoping to eliminate the bad taste that a 45th-place finish at the Masters left in his mouth.

“But, Dave, I work a desk job. My daily conquests are menial, not mighty.”

Fret not, corporate raider for, this time, ‘’tis not valor that will allow you to reach Valhalla. A few weeks’ loot from thy aforementioned desk job will suffice.

Let thy engorged Venmo strike a mighty blow!

As it turns out, today’s Toulon Golf Small Batch Valhalla is not actually honoring the Viking afterlife but rather the Valhalla Golf Club where this year’s PGA Championship will be played.

If you’ve been a MyGolfSpy reader for any period of time, you know that I get unnaturally excited about Vokey WedgeWorks release.

I will not apologize.

If it were up to me (and it’s probably best it isn’t), WedgeWorks announcements would be televised. I’d host viewing parties; my Australian friend would come, and everyone would eat tacos and drink Fosters. All of the wedges would come in Slate Blue (The Best Finish).

The point is that when Vokey drops a new grind in WedgeWorks, I’m invariably here for it.

This time around, I’m a little more chill. Y’all can still come to the party.

PGA Championship week is upon us.

The year’s second major features three prominent players coming into the tournament coming off of a win, an oddity caused by pro golf’s convoluted calendar and Scottie Scheffler taking time off while becoming a dad for the first time.

So while I still wish the PGA went all-in on a match play format, we have the recipe for an exciting leaderboard come Sunday afternoon.

Early indications are that this tournament will be a ballstriking contest rather than a test of strategy and short game.

Valhalla favors long bombers and top-tier iron players. Get ready to see a lot of mid-irons. The par-3s average 216 yards on the scorecard, a sign that the winner needs to be very strong in the 4-to-7-iron range throughout the week.

There is a lot of cool gear in the golf world that doesn’t always fit 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.

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 TaylorMade P790 Irons. I’ve been playing some game-improvement irons (they rhyme with “Nixon”) and figured it was time to try something different. Is my wife happy about it? Nope. Am I sleeping on the couch with my new Vintage Copper P790s? You know it.

Who Tried It:

Connor. Managing editor and resident sneakerhead. The self-proclaimed worst golfer at MyGolfSpy who’s been steadily (but slowly) improving.

Why P790?

To be frank, I was just really excited that the new Vintage Copper series P790 irons were offered in left-handed. On a more serious note, I’ve been steadily getting better and wanted to try an iron that’s not labeled as “game improvement.”

It’s worth noting that my copper P790s will perform the same as the standard finish. Now that that’s out of the way, let’s talk about my experience with the TaylorMade P790 irons.

Scottie Scheffler said part of his at-home PGA prep was "competing and gambling" with buddies on the greens to keep his short game sharp. "I don't really want to lose to them, either, so I was able to simulate a little bit of competition."

The PGA Championship returns to Valhalla, where Rory McIlroy won in 2014. Here are all the event details.
