While golf clubs are the main point of consumerism for our sport, there are thousands upon thousands of other golf products designed to improve your golf experience or play.
But there’s always a question of what is actually worth your hard-earned dollars.
This year, I’ve gotten to test dozens of new products, from bags to rangefinders to golf club cleaners. As you decide what might be your next purchase for yourself or your favorite golfer, here are my seven favorite new products from the last year to help you make up your mind.
Sun Mountain Matchplay Swift Sunday golf bag
Table of Contents
I am a walking golfer, no exceptions. So when I first laid eyes on Sun Mountain’s Matchplay Swift Sunday bag at the PGA Show, I knew it was for me.
It has just a 5-inch top, but it fits a full set of 14 clubs and it’s super easy to carry. Lightweight, exactly the number of pockets I need and a super sturdy stand. This has become my go-to travel golf bag.

Jones Sports Co. Trunk Caddie
My trunk became a mess this season when I started using a remote power trolley and kept it in my car.
Just this simple trunk organizer from Jones has helped me immensely by allowing me to store my shoes vertically and giving me a place to throw golf balls, jackets and other miscellaneous items that were just floating in my trunk.

The Trunk Caddie is the perfect organizer for the back of your car or trunk. Designed with convenience in mind, it folds neatly with a snap closure when not in use and expands accordion-style to hold all your essentials. Featuring multiple compartments, it keeps your gear secure and organized, making it ideal for trips to the course or everyday errands. Durable and compact, the Trunk Caddie ensures your trunk stays tidy and efficient.
The new series features a recycled, ripstop material, woven from 100% PET single-use plastic bottles. The most innovative, durable, and water-resistant fabric to date, the series supports Jones’ commitment towards a more sustainable future. Tested and proven in the ever-changing climate of the Pacific Northwest.

Sun Day Red Osprey golf shoes
I’m not a spiked shoe guy, so Sun Day Red’s first footwear releases didn’t really catch my eye, but their newest release, the Osprey, really surprised me.
I guess I shouldn’t have been shocked that a shoe designed for Tiger Woods would be super stable, but it’s without doubt SDR’s most comfortable shoe so far, too.
Sun Day Red Osprey Golf Shoes
A versatile golf shoe that seamlessly transitions from office to course, combining performance materials with minimalist design for the modern golfer’s lifestyle. Available in four core colourways. Where performance meets versatility, across the diverse terrains of an active life. The Sun Day Red Osprey stands as the perfect companion for those who move seamlessly between worlds—from office meetings to afternoon tee times, from casual dinners to weekend adventures. Crafted with premium materials and subtle sophistication, this shoe delivers the comfort needed for all-day wear and the performance required for confident strides on any surface. Tiger has made the Osprey his go-to shoe for life’s off-course moments—from casual outings to making statement entrances at TGL events—reflecting his understanding that today’s golfer needs footwear that performs across all aspects of a dynamic life.
Bushnell A1-Slope rangefinder
I got several new rangefinders this year, but my favorite was actually the simplest and the smallest.
Bushnell’s new A1-Slope rangefinder fits very nicely in my hand and adds no weight to my golf bag when I play.
Bushnell A1-Slope
Precision and Slope Gone Ultra-Compact – the A1-Slope is the smallest Bushnell Golf laser rangefinder ever and features our patented, Tour-trusted Slope Technology.
Golf Pride Reverse Taper Small
I’ve never used a putter grip like the Golf Pride Reverse Taper. As someone with smaller hands, but still wants to use an “oversized” putter grip, the new RT smalls fit perfectly in my hands.
The unique larger lower-hand section of the RT also really makes my right hand feel like it’s working for my stroke, rather than against.
Golf Pride Reverse Taper Pistol (Small)
Reverse Taper putter grip technology stabilizes both hands for a more square putter face at impact. A pistol kick on the back of the grip locks the heel pad of the upper hand to the putter grip and the slim upper hand and wide lower hand offers enhanced control, no matter your gripping style. Featuring a dimpled pattern throughout to boost traction and a soft, tacky feel that plays well in all conditions.
Garmin R50 launch monitor
If you want an all-in-one launch monitor and simulator system that doesn’t even require a screen, the Garmin R50 is your answer.
Not only is it an optical launch monitor system, which makes it more accurate indoors, but the huge screen also makes it an easy transformation for your backyard hitting net. The applications are almost endless.
Garmin Approach R50
Play year-round with Approach R50 — the premium golf simulator and launch monitor that puts you on course to play your best game from drive to putt.
ALSO AVAILABLE ON: Amazon, Garmin
Grooveit Mini-G brush
I never realized how useful a club brush would be to me until I tried the Grooveit Mini-G. This is the same brush that you see PGA Tour pros clip to their belt loops while their on the range and I see why so many do it.
No longer do I need to go back to my golf bag to wipe off my clubface every few swings. And now, they have NCAA-licensed options so I can rep my Penn State Nittany Lions (despite their performance on the football field this season…).
