Team USA and Europe will meet at Bethpage Black for Ryder Cup bragging rights. We're breaking down every player competing in this year's tournament.

U.S. Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley pushed back against the notion that the competition means more to Europe since the U.S. team will be compensated.

Introduction

The sport of golf has undergone a significant transformation due to technological advancements. These innovations have impacted everything from equipment design to training methodologies, leading to improved performance and a more engaging experience for players of all levels.

Equipment Innovations

Technological progress has revolutionized golf equipment, making the game more accessible and enjoyable.

Drivers and Irons

Modern drivers and irons incorporate advanced materials and designs to maximize distance and forgiveness. Manufacturers utilize lightweight alloys and carbon fiber to create larger sweet spots and optimize weight distribution. For example, the "Titanium Strike" driver, launched around Date, introduced a multi-material construction that significantly increased ball speed for many players.

Golf Balls

The development of multi-layer golf balls with enhanced aerodynamics has played a crucial role in improving performance. These balls are designed to reduce drag and increase lift, resulting in longer and straighter shots. Key advancements were seen in the early Date s with the introduction of specialized dimple patterns.

Putters

Putter technology focuses on improving stability and alignment. Innovations include perimeter weighting, high-MOI (Moment of Inertia) designs, and advanced alignment aids. The "True Roll" putter, designed by Person, became popular due to its face insert technology that provided a more consistent roll.

The Ryder Cup venue will play a huge role in the excitement and outcome of the 45th playing.

If you’re looking for a new hybrid in 2025, you may already know the Cobra DS-Adapt is the overall winner in MyGolfSpy’s Most Wanted Hybrid Test. However, sometimes in that space between second place and 10 place, some golf hybrids get overlooked. If the top pick of 2025 isn’t quite right for you, here are three overlooked hybrids worth your attention.

Orka RSX

The Orka RSX led the test in forgiveness with a score of 9.0, the highest of any model. Testers praised its ability to keep carry distances more consistent and dispersion patterns tighter than expected, especially for a lesser-known brand. Priced at around $200, it also undercuts many premium hybrids.

Some testers said it felt shorter than most other clubs in the test and that accuracy wasn’t its strongest trait but nearly all agreed it was one of the safest bets for players struggling with mishits.

Many golfers hit the ball solidly but can’t seem to achieve any real distance. Often the culprit is a steep, outside-in swing path that kills clubhead speed and sends balls weakly to the right (for right-handers). 

Regardless of ability level, many amateurs believe swinging harder automatically creates more distance. Sometimes this works but if your swing path is wrong, you’re leaving yardage, not to mention accuracy, on the table with every single shot.

Why a bad swing path can inhibit your distance

Many golfers assume more effort means more yards. They swing as hard as they can with whatever path feels natural, then wonder why their playing partners are out-driving them with seemingly effortless swings.

With the correct swing path adjustments, significant distance gains in just a few weeks are entirely achievable.

When swing path costs you the most distance

A steep, over-the-top move? This outside-in path creates a glancing blow that robs energy transfer. You’re essentially hitting across the ball instead of through it, bleeding power with every swing.

I came across a Grant Horvat instructional video recently and it clicked with me because it took chipping beyond the usual checklist of setup, club selection and hand position. Horvat drilled into bounce — the most misunderstood feature of a wedge.

Amateurs often think bounce is only for bunkers or special shots. In reality, it’s what makes wedges forgiving around the green. If you learn to use it the right way, even a poor chip can still produce a playable result.

Setup still matters

Before you can take advantage of bounce, you have to get the basics right.

Weight forward — around 70 percent on your lead foot keeps the low point consistent. Set your weight there and then keep it throughout the swing.Narrow stance — feet close together help simplify the motion.Ball centered — not jammed back, not too far forward.

These checkpoints set you up to use the wedge’s sole, not just the sharp leading edge.

What happens if you don’t use bounce

Most amateurs instinctively press their hands forward, push the ball so it’s in line with the back foot and dig the leading edge into the turf. That’s when the big misses, like a bladed shot across the green or a chunk, start to show up.

When it comes to golf balls, the Titleist Pro V1 family needs no introduction. Year after year, it’s among the most played and trusted balls in the game—on Tour, in weekend bags, and yes, across the MyGolfSpy Forum. It’s been the gold standard for decades.

In our latest Forum Poll, the Pro V1 lineup finished second overall, but that’s only part of the story. The bigger question is why. Why do golfers keep choosing the Pro V1 and Pro V1x over the countless alternatives on the shelves?

We turned to Forum members to share their own reasons—and their answers show there’s no single path to putting a Pro V1 in play.

Tradition and Familiarity

Sometimes, loyalty comes down to habit, availability, and maybe just getting some free at a tournament.

Thwack. (Wedge meets concrete.)

Fifteen years of golf, thousands spent in lessons and equipment, yet he’s grinding metal on asphalt because nobody ever informed him about free relief from cart paths.

Most golfers assume the rules of golf exist solely to punish them. Dead wrong. Sometimes the rules are actually designed to help you.

Where weekend golfers throw away strokes

After almost 30 years of watching recreational players repeatedly make the same mistakes regarding the rules, I felt compelled to share the following with you.

These are seven situations where you can either save shots or get dinged with a costly penalty —depending, of course, on whether you know them or not.
