That old hat of yours is looking a little sad, isn’t it? Don’t worry, I’ll hook you up with a new one.

All I want is for you to feel cool and confident. Whether your hairline is looking more sparce than an outdoor driving range in Winter or you need a hat that can withstand life’s greatest adventure, the solution is the same: buy a Melin.

The best part? Select styles are 30% off for the Holidays. I told you I’d hook you up!

I know what you’re thinking: Melin Hats are expensive. And, you’re not wrong. It’s rare that a hat cost more than $30 or so. And no, Melin hats are not (sadly) magic. It won’t cure your slice or make you a better golfer. Honestly, if you’d rather pull out that crusty old curved bill than spend money on a new hat, this sale isn’t for you.

On the flipside, if you’re very particular about your hats and are a fan of great quality, there’s never been a better (or more budget-friendly) time to splurge on a Melin hat. They rarely run sales, and the style selection is fairly robust.

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 MNML MR1 Golf Bag. We last heard from MNML Golf a few years ago when we reviewed the MV2 stand bag. Since then, the California-based brand has been tweaking their original design to make it even more functional (and eco-friendly)

Who Tried It:

Connor. Director of Soft Goods Testing and resident sneakerhead. I believe golf is better with a pair of cool shoes and comfortable joggers. When the MNML MR1 showed up at my door with my initials hand-painted on the front pocket, it got me feeling some type of way.

MNML MR1 Golf Bag Review

The goal of this review is to find out if the MNML MR1 is your vibe or not. As with any product I review, the MR1 golf bag is not for everyone.

MNML MR1: Who Is It For?

You don’t take the game (or yourself) too seriously. Playing in a T-shirt and shorts is more your thing. A few drinks on the course? Why not? The MNML golfer is laidback, chill and overall happy to be out enjoying this game we call golf.

When TaylorMade released their new Spider Tour line of putters in September, many of you asked if one of those putters was the putter that Scottie Scheffler used during the FedEx Cup playoffs. Unfortunately, the answer was no. That version of the Spider Tour putter was only for Tour players.

That changes today.

It’s been a couple of years since an A Grind last landed in Vokey WedgeWorks, and it’s probably not a stretch to assume that the Vokey Design WedgeWorks 60A will be the last of the SM9 era.

Still, I expect there will be plenty of interest in Vokey’s latest low bounce wedge offering.

Grinds can be complicated, so perhaps it’s helpful to understand that for all the variety offered within the Vokey lineup, there are only a handful of what you might call core grinds. By and large, they’re the familiar ones (F, M, S, L, etc.) that show up on retail shelves year after year.

A good bit of what hits WedgeWorks aren’t so much wholly unique grinds as they are variations of a core grind.

For example, the most recent WedgeWorks release, the V Grind is basically a higher bounce take on the extremely versatile T Grind.
