Gene Parente from Golf Labs

I assert that golf technology can overwhelm players, and that well designed tech should recede into the background so players can focus. We discuss how excessive devices produce paralysis by analysis and impair performance on the course. I emphasize that less is more while playing, and that data and devices are more appropriate during practice and fitting. We explain that proper club fitting typically yields more benefit than simply buying the most expensive gear, because fit reduces mental load and improves consistency. I note that golf ball selection matters most inside of 120 yards, and that urethane tour balls will more often hold the green on good shots. We recommend testing short game feel with a few balls and seeking a professional fitting if the game is important to you.
