A backyard putting green is the single most useful thing you can add to a yard if your short game is the part of your score that never seems to improve. It also happens to be one of the easiest purchases to get wrong, because the word green covers everything from a roll-up mat you … Read more

The best golf grips for sweaty hands are cotton-cord and hybrid-cord grips. Interwoven cotton fibres wick moisture off the surface and keep mechanical friction when wet, while soft tacky rubber goes slick once sweat, sunscreen and skin oils coat it. If you play gloveless, go full cord. If you wear a glove, a half-corded hybrid … Read more

If you only buy one device for a slice, the best golf training aids for slice correction are the ones that attack the actual cause rather than the ball flight. The single best all-round choice is a folding alignment stick set, because setup aim and the takeaway-to-downswing crossover are the two faults that show up … Read more

Most lost shots in golf are aim shots. A ball struck well but pointed five degrees right of the target is the same ball on the cart path as a mishit, and unlike contact, aim is nearly impossible to feel in real time. A golf alignment stick is the cheapest way to give your eyes … Read more

If you walk rather than ride, the bag is the only piece of equipment you touch on every single shot. Over 18 holes you will shoulder it roughly 250 times, and a bag that is a pound heavier than it needs to be is a pound you feel in your lower back by the back … Read more

A size 10.5 shoe that is a half size longer than what you need gives you toe room and does nothing for the ball of your foot, which is exactly the part that pinches after … Read more

The best rangefinders for long range shooting are not hunting units with a bonus solver bolted on; they are ranging tools that hold a lock on distant, low-contrast targets … Read more

The best thermal scopes for hog hunting use a 640×512 microbolometer sensor, a 50Hz refresh rate, NETD under 25mK and a 35-50mm objective lens. That combination holds thermal contrast through humidity and brush, tracks a running sow, and lets you sort a boar from a sounder at 200 yards instead of guessing. That is the … Read more

Two in the morning on a cold field edge is when coyotes move, and it is exactly when your eyes give up. The best night vision binoculars for coyote hunting solve a specific problem: putting detail back into a scene lit by nothing more than starlight, so a caller hears a response from two hundred … Read more
