Golf Tips

Mastering Your Swing

The Setup

A solid setup is the foundation of a good golf swing. Focus on these key elements:

 

  • Posture: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, and lean forward from your hips. Keep your back straight, but not rigid.
  • Grip: Hold the club firmly but not too tightly. There are three common grips: the interlocking grip, the overlapping grip (Vardon grip), and the ten-finger grip. Experiment to find what feels most comfortable and gives you control.
  • Alignment: Ensure your feet, hips, and shoulders are aligned parallel to your target line. A good way to check this is to place two clubs on the ground, one along your target line and one along your feet line.

The Backswing

The backswing sets the stage for power and accuracy.

 

  • Takeaway: Begin the backswing by taking the club away from the ball in a smooth, controlled motion. Your shoulders, arms, and club should move together.
  • Top of the Backswing: At the top, your lead arm should be relatively straight, and your wrists should be cocked. Your weight should shift towards your back foot. Avoid over-swinging; control is more important than extreme length.

The Downswing

This is where the magic happens!

Which Titleist T-Series Iron Is Right For You?

Finding the right set of irons is hard. We get that. Even when you’re shopping within one family (for the sake of this guide, let’s say it’s the Titleist T-Series), identifying the perfect model can be a challenge.

So, today, we’re going to do our best to help you find the right Titleist iron. While we hope this guide is helpful, it comes with the disclaimer that your best chance of getting your irons absolutely dialed, and ultimately getting the most for your money (none of this stuff is cheap), comes by way of a fitting – either with Titleist directly or a reputable fitter.

Full disclosure: While we don’t personally think your handicap always provides the best indicator of what iron you should play, we’ve provided some general ranges to help inform your decision.

The real question isn’t what your handicap says about you. It’s about finding the right balance between flight and forgiveness for your individual swing.

Who is T-Series for?

Before we break down individual models, let’s tackle some persistent thinking: Titleist only makes irons for better golfers.

The PGA Tour-LIV Partnership Is Dead

Back when the pandemic first started, everyone had the same question:

When the hell is this going to end?

A lot of historians and experts in the science community had similar answers. More or less, pandemics end when enough people agree they are “over” for them.

That means the new “normal” takes place of the “old” normal.

There was no specific date where everything moved to the new normal. COVID-19 still continues, to the extent where there are meaningful illnesses and annual vaccine recommendations.

Time To Replace Your Old Bushnell? We Put 4 To The Test

Rangefinders don’t last forever. While Bushnell models tend to hold up better than most, 2025 has introduced some meaningful upgrades worth considering, especially if your current model is starting to feel slow, glitchy or hard to see.

We tested 35 rangefinders across accuracy, speed, optics, display and features. Here’s how the four Bushnell models in this year’s test performed.

Bushnell Pro X3+ Laser Golf Rangefinder
Bushnell Tour Hybrid Golf Rangefinder
Bushnell Tour V6 Shift Golf Rangefinder
Bushnell A1-Slope Golf Rangefinder

Bushnell Pro X3+ LINK

The Pro X3+ LINK is Bushnell’s most feature-rich rangefinder. It not only gets the award for best Bushnell rangefinder in our test but was best overall rangefinder of 2025. It integrates slope with environmental elements (like temperature and altitude), wind data via the app and Bluetooth syncing with the Bushnell Golf app for personalized club suggestions.

The Bushnell was accurate in every scenario (even with complex backgrounds and from longer distances). We also found it to be one of the fastest in the test. Clear optics make it easy to lock onto flags. The only downside is that it’s a bit heavy for walkers.

What it’s known for:

Your Favorite Team Just Teamed Up With Your Dad’s Favorite Polo

Few things bring a tear to my eye.

The birth of my daughter? Close. Remember the Titans? Even closer.

But the NFL theme song blaring over my speaker while sitting in front of the flat screen on a crisp fall Sunday afternoon? Yep, that’ll do it.

Football season is here (as marked by last week’s HOF game and this week’s preseason games). So it’s only right that Johnnie-O, my favorite apparel brand, be granted an official NFL license to ensure that dads everywhere are fully kitted out in their favorite team’s gear.

Yep, you heard me right. Want a Chief’s Johnnie-O polo? You got it. A Detroit Lions pullover? Sign me up. A Dallas Cowboys q-zip? Not a chance … no one wants that garbage.

How Many Putts Should You Have Per Round (Based On Your Handicap)

We all know the goal: two putts or fewer per hole. But how many total putts should you be taking each round? How much does that number change depending on your handicap?

We asked Shot Scope for real-world putting data across a range of handicaps, and what we found might surprise you. The difference between a 25-handicap and a scratch golfer isn’t always what you think. Eliminating just one or two three-putts per round might be the easiest path to shaving strokes off your game.

Average putts per round by handicap

You’d expect better players to putt better—but the total number of putts per round doesn’t change all that much. The biggest change you’ll see is the three-putt percentage. A scratch golfer three-putts just three percent of the time, whereas a 25-handicap golfer three-putts 13 percent of the time.

Keep in mind that three-putts are usually a proximity problem first. Approach accuracy, greens in regulation and short-game distance control all play a big role.

HandicapAvg Putts/Round3-Putts/Round
029.90.8
530.31.5
1031.22.4
1532.13.8
2033.44.6
2534.35.8

Make percentages by distance

We’ve already seen how higher-handicap golfers rack up more three-putts, often because they’re putting from longer distances. But missed short putts are just as costly and they happen more often than most players realize.
