Player's Distance Irons: The Evolution of Design
The emergence of player's distance irons has been a significant trend in the equipment space. These irons combine a compact, blade-like appearance with internal cavity construction for added forgiveness and ball speed. This category has gained popularity as it caters to players who desire the look of better player irons with the forgiveness and performance benefits of game improvement clubs. Player's distance irons have been seen across various manufacturers and continue to evolve, providing golfers with a winning combination of aesthetics and playability.
Counterbalanced and Long Putters Make a Comeback
Counterbalanced and long putters have made a resurgence on the PGA Tour this year. Although long putters haven't seen a massive comeback, counterbalanced putters, especially, have gained attention. Golfers embrace the smaller profile and classic appearance while experiencing improved forgiveness and ball speed. Scotty Scheffler's putter journey also attracted attention as he tried different putters throughout the season. These putters provide players with confidence and performance benefits, allowing them to excel on the greens.
