Callaway has published a new video that provides behind-the-scenes footage of the process that world No.2 Jon Rahm went through in the fitting of his new Paradym driver. Rahm, who finished No.1 in the PGA Tour driving statistics in the 2022 season and remains in that position in 2023, wasted little time in finding success with his new Paradym Woods. In his first competitive start of 2023 with his Paradym Triple Diamond Driver and Fairway Woods in the bag, Rahm shot a 10-under par final round to land his 8th PGA Tour title. This marked the first of two victories for…
A pull with the driver can be incredibly frustrating. What I have always hated about a pulled shot is that, at first, it feels really solid. But then, when you see the ball heading down the left, you know you are in trouble. With all the hype that slicing a driver gets, you may be surprised that pulling a driver is almost as common of a miss. I have a few ways in which you can help straighten out your driver and stop hitting a pull. You may need a combination of more than one fix to get the driver…

Over the last year, I have played numerous rounds with a gigantic Danish chap who stands 6 foot 6 inches. He uses standard-length golf clubs, and it made me wonder how we would fair with longer shafts. So, I put him to work and asked him to test the best golf clubs for tall men. In this post, I will take you through the best golf clubs from a tall golfer’s perspective and explain which shaft length is best for your setup. You’ll notice that most options are fitted with longer-than-usual golf shafts. However, I have thrown in some standard…
The PGA Tour solidified its new tournament structure on Wednesday, and yes, it does somewhat resemble some of the structure LIV Golf has put into place.The Tour has reduced the field size at its designated events from 120-160 to 70-80 and even eliminated the cut at some of them (though that is not yet finalized). It has also clarified the path for golfers to play these designated events and no longer made it mandatory for top players to enter those tournaments, rather incentivizing them to do so through purse size and FedEx Cup points scoring opportunities.Is all of this good?…
Justin Thomas has had a top-five and a top-10 finish in two of his last three Masters appearances, but won his second major title last season at the PGA Championship. Thomas looked like he could make a charge in last year’s Masters, when he made six birdies and just one bogey in the second round. However, he finished with four bogeys and a double-bogey on Sunday. He returns to Augusta National at 16-1 in the latest 2023 Masters odds at Caesars Sportsbook.Thomas finished just one stroke under par last season, tied with Sungjae Im, who was second at the 2020…
