September 3, 2026 / Golf Technology

Featured image for an article comparing PG1 versus golf lessons, showing an in-person golf instructor helping a golfer with setup and swing position on the driving range alongside a smartphone displaying swing-analysis metrics, with the title “PG1 vs. Golf Lessons: Which Is Better for Most Golfers?”

The Short Answer If you have never had a qualified instructor look at your swing, take a lesson first. One hour with a competent local pro will do more for you than any app, and it costs less than PG1’s annual tier in most of the country. If you’ve had lessons before, practice regularly, and

How Can I Fix My Slice at Home Without a Driving Range?

September 1, 2026 / Golf Tips

Featured image for an article about seven at-home golf drills to fix a slice, showing a golfer practicing indoors with a driver, mirror, alignment stick, and towel-under-arm drill setup, highlighting how golfers can improve grip, shoulder alignment, ball position, grip pressure, and swing path without needing range time.

Range time is the scarcest resource in recreational golf. Between work, a 40-minute drive, and $18 a bucket, most golfers who genuinely want to fix a slice get maybe two sessions a month — which is not enough repetition to change anything. Here’s the good news, and it’s bigger than it sounds: most of what

August 27, 2026 / Golf Putting

Featured image comparing active vs passive putter stability, showing how different putter technologies help keep the putter face square during the stroke and at impact.

If you’ve spent any time researching alignment putters, you’ve almost certainly encountered two terms that get used in very different contexts without much explanation of what they actually mean: active face squaring and passive face squaring. Both claim to solve the same problem — inconsistent face angle at impact — but they solve it in

How Much Does the PG1 App Actually Cost?

August 25, 2026 / Equipment Reviews

Featured image for an article explaining how much the PG1 app costs, showing a golfer using a phone-based swing analysis app, a large PG1 app screen with swing score and recommendations, and pricing options for $29 monthly, $199 yearly, and $399 lifetime access, along with a 7-day free trial and 365-day money-back guarantee.

The Short Answer PG1 has three published prices: $29 per month, $199 per year, or $399 for lifetime access. There’s a 7-day free trial, and Performance Golf’s product page states no credit card is required to start it. There’s also a 365-day money-back guarantee. But which prices you actually see depends on how you arrive.

Can a Slice Be Fixed in One Lesson? What to Expect and What to Ask For

August 23, 2026 / Fix Your Slice

Featured image for an article about whether a golf slice can be fixed in one lesson, showing a golf instructor helping a player adjust setup and swing position on the driving range, with red and green ball-flight paths illustrating a sliced shot versus a straighter corrected shot, and the title “Can a Slice Be Fixed in One Lesson? What to Expect and What to Ask For.”

“One lesson and you’ll never slice again.” You’ve seen that promise on a range sign or a website, and you’ve been rightly skeptical. But the opposite claim — that fixing a slice takes a full lesson package and six months of rebuilding — is also a sales pitch, just a more expensive one. The truthful

What Is Face Drift in Putting and How Do You Fix It?

August 21, 2026 / Golf Putting

Featured image for an article about face drift in putting, showing a close-up of a putter behind a golf ball on the green with visual face-rotation arcs, illustrating how the putter face can drift open or closed during the stroke and cause missed putts even when the setup feels square.

Face drift is one of the most damaging putting problems a recreational golfer can have — and one of the hardest to identify, because it happens faster than conscious perception and often feels completely square even when it isn’t. If you’re a golfer who consistently misses putts on the same side, struggles with short putts

Featured image for an article about finding your root swing flaw in golf, showing a golfer hitting a driver with a swing-chain breakdown for grip, posture, setup, face control, path, sequencing, low point, and ball flight, explaining why golfers should fix the root cause instead of treating swing symptoms.

The Short Answer A root swing flaw is the single fault in your swing that causes the other faults. Fix it, and three or four of your other problems quiet down on their own. Ignore it, and every drill you do is treating a symptom — which is why you can practice for a year

Slice vs. Fade: When Your Miss Is Actually Playable

August 15, 2026 / Golf Tips

Somewhere in every slicer’s improvement arc comes a dangerous moment. The ball stops banana-ing and starts drifting — a gentle move left to right, landing in the short grass, adding up to a perfectly respectable golf shot. And the golfer keeps tinkering.
