Kikkor Golf Shoes
Late in 2008, 25 year old James Lepp and some of his friends came up with the concept for a new type of golf shoe company called Kikkor Golf. The idea was to deliver a golf shoe for the younger crowd (or young at heart) that didn’t fit the mold of the typical adult golf… »
Tour Striker – Review
Here at intothegrain.com, we get plenty of training aids and swing gadgets to try out. Some of them work great, and others… not so much. When I first saw the ads for the Tour Striker I thought it would be just like many golf training aids that claim to fix your swing, so I paid… »
Miura K Grind Wedge Review

Asher Gloves Review
Golf gloves and other accessories like tees and ball markers don’t excite me very much. I recently reviewed some golf tees from Evolve Golf, and while the product was very good and I recommend them, it was hard to get excited about reviewing such a product. Normally I would feel the same way about gloves…. »

Epoch Performance Tees Review
When it comes to the little peg you stick in the ground to hold your golf ball, there are basically two factors that are important to me. Does the ball fall off? Can I find that damn thing after hitting the ball? That’s it. Being a blogger I get to go to industry shows and… »
