Every year there are products that stand out. Even though it seems like there are fewer standouts each season, I still manage to find some things that I really love. With that in mind, here are my five favorite finds of 2025—a mix of gear that either solved problems I didn’t know I had or reminded me why I fell in love with certain categories in the first place.
Kyus Iver Shorts
I will be honest. There’s a part of me that wishes I’d never tried these Kjus shorts. I have been completely ruined by other golf pants. of Kyus Iver Shorts hit that perfect sweet spot: ideal weight, perfect stretch, and a fit that’s not at all baggy, avoiding being too “Euro” in a way that makes both the guy wearing them and everyone else around him uncomfortable.
I’m not going to sugar coat the price. They aren’t cheap, but if you buy them in primary colors, you’ll probably have enough to justify the investment.
Sunday Clothing Swagger
Sunday Swagger it’s not a new brand, but I’ll admit that since I’m not the “clothing guy” around here, it’s new to me. My first real introduction came when I wrote down the pieces I would and wouldn’t wear from their spring collection.
Really, the material isn’t too different from a good deal of what’s out there, but the shirt fits me well and the brand is always bold enough to inject some life into your outfits.
I would also be remiss not to mention that the company absolutely excels at collaborations. Recent examples include Guinness AND Uncrustable. If these aren’t the most logical golf collaborations ever, I’m not sure what is.
TaylorMade R7 Quad mini driver
This was the year mini drivers absolutely took off. The category went from just a few options to almost everyone offering one. I tried pretty much all of them and while there are things I like about most of them, it was R7 that got stuck in my bag.
For a good part of the season, I used it strictly off the tee on holes where I still need distance, but not at the expense of control. Whether it’s as simple as a shorter shaft, some magic in the head, or a bit of both, there has been a measurable decrease in my white pin problems.
I will not suggest R7 Quad mini as easy to hit as a 3-wood, but as the season progressed I became comfortable enough to hit it off the fairway – as long as the ball wasn’t downhill or otherwise under my feet.
Never say never, but this might be the club that keeps the 3-wood out of my bag forever.
Hybrid GT3 title
As high-altitude woods have grown in popularity, hybrids have fallen out of favor—and that’s even among players who used to carry them. Once upon a time, I was a big hybrid guy, carrying up to three at any given time. In recent years, this has changed. The 5-iron has returned to the bag, the 7-wood has become a staple and, eventually, like many of you, I ditched the hybrids entirely.
That was until I found it Title GT3a hybrid that made me love hybrids again. The trajectory is a little more controllable than the 7-wood, which is a roundabout way of saying it’s a little better in the wind and on days when my swing works better with irons than woods.
I still love the 7-wood, so the hybrid isn’t an everyday club, but I find myself looking for reasons to put it in the bag.
PXG Battle Ready Blackjack shooter
The latter is meant to serve as a reminder that sometimes what you already have is your best option.
Earlier this year, the shaft in mine PXG Blackjack Shooter broke down.
Disappointing? Of course.
But it was also an opportunity to justify putting something new in the bag, so I left my broken impeller to the side and committed to a zero-torque future. Here we are a few months later and I’ve come to believe that the new hotness just isn’t for me.
Were there any positives? Absolutely. Better than what I had? No.
I would describe myself as a very good shooter with extremely weak fundamentals, not the least of which are eyes that aren’t even close to being on the ball and a very strong bow. For whatever reason, what I can get away with with conventional designs doesn’t work at zero torque.
I tried, I was never that good, so I sent broken old decide for repair and can’t wait to get it back.
