I want to get a golf-brand visor, but I'm having a hard time finding any that don't have specific model advertisements on them. Ie, Titleist head wear almost always has "ProV1" on it, Ping has "G15" or "I15", Taylormade has "R9" and/or "Burner", etc. I don't play any of these models and have no immediate plans to. Regardless of if I did, I'd prefer to get something more classic-looking without the extra model-specific ads.

I know there's some variation amongst hats, but I prefer visors because I need as little material covering/touching my head as possible. I don't know hot much variation amongst visors there is.

I don't have any strong brand loyalty, but I'd like to avoid Taylormade. It seems too cliche.

On Titleist's website I found a category for visors . On that page there is one called "Garment Washed" which appears to be what I'm looking for. There was also "Tour" and "Tour Low Profile". Is there a difference between "Garment Washed", "Tour", and "Tour Low Profile", besides just the logos? I assume the "Tour" visor indicates that's what the sponsored pros wear?

Anyway, anything I should know about getting a visor? Any good specific ones sans-model names?

I'm pretty sure my Mizuno had hasn't a club model name listed on it. I'd be surprised if their visors had model names listed.

Does "Life is Good" make visors? Their hats are great, nice little logo and that's it.

I've seen Mizuno visors before and did not notice any models on them.

Regarding visors…

Tour visors have wide brims, high profiles, and come with loop adjustments for fit (as opposed to Velcro) – and, in my opinion, unless you have an exceptionally large cranium they don’t look all that great.

I prefer to don both the low profile and garment washed visors – but not necessarily at the same time though.

Yeah they make visors and hats. The particular store I have seen them in only had baby blue, but I have seen other colors online.

My favorite visor has the brand name on it without a ball or club logo on the side.......because my favorite brand is Jim Beam, and well they do one thing, back a bad round better at the end of the day. JMHO

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.
