The media hub
Drivers, irons, launch monitors, shoes and apparel — every review gets a number out of ten, honest pros and cons, and a verdict you can act on.
Everything here I bought, borrowed or begged for, then played with for weeks before writing a word. — Marcus
Latest review
Pulled the Blast Motion Golf out on the first tee and it gives you feedback before your brain has a chance to argue with it. Ten minutes with it before a round and my start line was noticeably tidier. The catch: it fixes one thing, so do not expect a whole swing out of it.

Opinion & Analysis
Longer takes from Marcus on where the money goes, what the marketing gets wrong and which trends are worth your bag space.
01
Every launch is sold on ball speed, but the gains I keep are on my misses. Fitting the low-heel strike beat chasing two more miles an hour, every single time.

Tour balls are brilliant — and most of us give the benefit back on the wedge shots we don't hit. Here's where the money is genuinely worth it and where it isn't.

Portable launch monitors used to be a compromise. This season's crop reads carry close enough that I trust them on course, which changes how I practise.
