Are you familiar with Sacks Parente Putters? If not, don’t worry—you’re not alone. While the brand may not be the most well known (yet!), they are quickly gaining an avid fan base for their unique putters. Today we’re looking for readers who want to test and review a Sacks Parente Putter.

Why We’re Interested

At MyGolfSpy Forum, we’ve made it a goal for 2023 to shine a spotlight on emerging and lesser-known brands in the golfing world. We believe it’s crucial to give these companies exposure while providing our members with opportunities to test, experience and review products they might never have considered.

Meet Sacks Parente

Sacks Parente is a putter manufacturer renowned for their patented Ultra Low Balance Point technology (ULBP) which they claim can naturally enhance your putting stroke. Founded by Steve Sacks, a golf club design and manufacturing pioneer, and Rich Parente, an original co-founder of Callaway, the concept of their ULBP technology was born in 2011. However, it wasn’t until 2018 that Sacks Parente officially came into existence.

Wide Range of Designs

Sacks Parente offers an extensive array of golf putter. Whether you favor mallet or blade putters, there’s a design that’s bound to catch your eye. What sets Sacks Parente apart is matching Ultra-Low Balance Point putter shafts and grips with their putters. They claim these components work harmoniously to help you sink more putts. With a growing presence on the PGA TOUR Champions, they’re steadily gaining recognition.

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

Phigolf 2. A golf simulation sensor and swing stick that connects to a free mobile app. Phigolf 2 has nearly 3,000 reviews on Amazon and it reminded me so much of the Nintendo Wii (if you know, you know) that it was a no-brainer to give this thing a go.

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. I grew up playing Tiger Woods Golf and Wii Sports Golf so I’ve been very curious whether a “video game” can really help you get better at golf.

At-Home Golf Simulation

For years, golf simulation and golf simulators have been largely out of reach for anyone not willing to spend thousands of dollars. Phigolf (distributed by GolfBuddy) aims to change the notion that golf simulators are unattainable for most of us

For a price that’s barely 10 percent the cost of leading personal launch monitors, does the Phigolf 2 merit a look for your winter off-season or a fun night at home with the kids?

MyGolfSpy Experiences has said it before. The best golf buddy trip is the next one. But have you ever thought about the first one?

It’s the year 1557 in Scotland. Two shepherds, Hamish and Seamus, were rolling rocks into rabbit holes in their regular field. And they’re getting bored.

“Laddie, wouldn’t it be grand to head over to McTavish’s field?” asked Hamish. “We could knock some rocks into his rabbit holes.”

“Aye,” replied Seamus. “Grand it would be.”

And that, dear readers, is how the golf buddy trip was born.

When you know you are not a beginner and you also know you are far from a scratch player, what does that make you? The concept of the “mid-handicapper” seems to be generally accepted by golfers but what is the actual handicap index range it defines?

What Is A Mid-Handicap?

A mid-handicap golfer has a handicap index of between 10 and 20. To confuse the issue, there are also categories for a “lower mid-handicap” and a “higher mid-handicap” golfer.

In general, a mid-handicapper typically shoots between 80 and 94 for 18 holes.

Categories of Mid-Handicappers

Let’s face it: there is a difference between shooting 80 and shooting 94. We need a few categories for mid-handicappers.

Key Characteristics of a Mid-Handicap Golfer

A mid handicap golfer makes more bogeys than they do birdies and pars. If you consider the average round for a mid-handicapper to be an 87, that’s about 15 over par.
