Ben Hogan's new PTx LST driver is built for higher speed players who need launch and spin control.

Updated looks that will get better players attention with some multi-piece technology under the hood. I like these irons a lot and they will become a regular in the rotation.

This week I review the new 2026 Scotty Cameron Phantom putter line. I have both the Phantom 5.5 and 9R putters in-hand that I have been rolling for a bit now.
