Mizuno has always been an industry juggernaut when it came to forged irons, being the popular choice among the game’s best players without an equipment endorsement. But they never could quite make any noise with their metal woods. The ST-200 series dipped their toes in the water of having a driver that could compete with...
Distance off the tee has been a great equalizer since golf’s inception. Modern golf courses are long and the classic courses are getting longer (you can almost hear the golf purists weep as you read that sentence).

Strokes Gained Off The Tee is one of the most important statistics kept on the PGA Tour as it combines both distance and accuracy. If you want to compete and contend week in and week out, you better be long and in play. Here are the top-10 players in that category and the drivers they...

I was on a buddies golf trip to St. Augustine and just a few miles from our condo they cancelled play after 36 holes at The Players Championship. We sat there playing cards, drinking...
