Slow Swing Speed Golf Myths: What Really Adds Distance?
Slower swing speed golfers are often told to use a soft ball, flexible shaft and more driver loft. We test those assumptions with launch-monitor data and explain why generic equipment advice could be costing you valuable distance.
Driver shaft weight, flex and loft tested
Is the shaft really the engine of the golf club? We compare a 40g graphite shaft, 100g steel shaft, Mitsubishi Diamana WB and Ventus Black before testing whether driver loft creates a bigger performance change.
Vice Golf Irons Review: Are They Really Worth the Hype?
Vice Golf has become one of golf's fastest growing equipment brands, but are their irons actually worth the hype?
We take a closer look at the VGI01, VGI02 and VGI03 models, who they are designed for, and whether they can compete with the biggest names in golf.
Which Is Best: Fairway Wood, Hybrid or Utility Iron?
Should you carry a fairway wood, hybrid or utility iron? We compare the Ping G440 fairway wood, G440 hybrid and iDi utility iron at the same 20° loft to explain how swing speed, launch, spin and club design influence the right choice.
How Far Should You Hit Your Driver? Maximum Carry Explained
How far should you really hit your driver? We tested the maximum carry distance possible at 80mph, 90mph and 100mph swing speeds using optimised launch monitor data to reveal what's realistically achievable and whether you're leaving distance on the table.
TaylorMade Qi Max HL vs P790 vs P7CB: Does Iron Forgiveness Really Matter?
Is iron forgiveness genuinely helping golfers or is it largely marketing? We tested the TaylorMade Qi Max HL, P790 and P7CB at the same 31° loft to uncover what really happens when loft is removed from the equation.
7-Wood Shaft in a Driver: Could a Shorter Driver Improve Your Accuracy?
What happens when you fit a driver with a 7-wood length shaft? We tested this unusual setup using GCQuad data to explore the trade-off between distance and accuracy—and the results may change how you think about driver fitting.
Best 2026 Low Spin Driver: 5 Drivers Compared
Which low-spin driver is best in 2026? We tested the Titleist GTS4, Ping G440 LST, Cobra OPTM LS, TaylorMade Qi4D LS and Callaway Quantum Triple Diamond using GCQuad launch monitor data to compare speed, spin, distance and directional bias.
Can a 1998 Driver Still Compete in 2026?
Can a 1998 Titleist 975D compete with a brand-new 2026 Titleist GTS2? We tested both drivers using GCQuad launch monitor data to compare ball speed, distance, forgiveness, dispersion and mishit performance. The results were not what we expected.
