micro polyester is great.  Cotton gets too heavy with sweat.  I couldn't imagine buying a cotton shirt now with how nice the polyester is.  Plus it washes up so much better.

IMO the moisture wicking material (Adidas climalite etc) are the dogs balls.  It can get pretty humid in summer (Auckland, New Zealand) and I find that when I start sweating other shirts (cotton etc) tend to restrict my movement in my swing as its sticks when sweaty.  No issues with the climalite & similar type moisture wicking materials.  I wont wear anything else now.

I learned from motocycling.  I use UA shirts and skivies under my riding gear.  A trip to Vegas in July is hot but no rashes or prickly heat!  Stuff is amazing.  Now all of my golf shirts are advanced fabrics and if it's hot I use the underwear too.

      It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.

      Maintaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By Mystique · Posted

      It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.

      Golf Workouts

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
