10 products that will save you strokes and money

Finding the best golf equipment deals under $50 can sometimes be a challenge, but there are some great buys out there if you know where to look.

Most golfers assume that the best deals on golf equipment are found in the golf balls, gloves, and socks section of their local golf shop. However, this is only scratching the surface. If you’re willing to dig a little deeper, you’ll find a much more interesting mix of gear that’s under $50 right now, online. This includes tour balls, premium gloves, components, training aids, and on-course accessories that actually make a difference.

And right now ahead of the busy summer season, several items that normally live in higher price tiers are temporarily dropping into this range creating a rare sweet spot: great gear that isn’t just affordable, but feels like a steal.

These are the 10 best deals under $50 (including some well below that!)

TaylorMade Tour Response Stripe

The Tour Response Stripe incorporates TaylorMade’s innovative microcoating technology, engineered to ensure consistent peak height, dependable distance, and tighter dispersion on full shots. This technology is designed to provide a predictable and controlled feel from tee to green. Also, the 360° ClearPath Alignment stripe offers a significant advantage by providing a clear visual guide for aligning the face and lining up putts. This ball, even when not on sale, is a steal safely below $50.

Golf Pride Zero Taper

Let’s all admit it: zero taper grips are here to stay, hopefully forever. The Golf Pride Zero Taper putter grip features a unique parallel design that delivers a consistent feel in both hands, helping promote more stable and repeatable putting strokes. Its pronounced sidewalls enhance awareness of the putter face, while the soft, tacky material and dimpled texture provide reliable traction in all conditions.

1 thing we really like: It keeps both hands feeling the same, which helps eliminate inconsistent grip pressure.

Knockaround Fast Lanes Golf Sunglasses

Knockaround sunglasses are a must-have for golfers who want performance without breaking the bank. These stylish shades feature a sleek, modern design with glossy clear grey frames and green mirrored polarized lenses that reduce glare and enhance visibility in bright conditions. Constructed from lightweight polycarbonate, they provide comfort throughout a round, while rubber nose pads ensure a secure fit. Additionally, Knockaround sunglasses offer UV400 protection and impact-resistant lenses.

1 thing we really like: These polarized lenses are a steal, not just under $50, but also under $40!

Adidas Original Golf Glove

This glove blends soft leather performance with a clean, vintage-inspired design. What truly distinguishes it is the retro adidas logo and understated styling, giving it a classic look that sets it apart from typical modern gloves. It’s an excellent choice for golfers seeking reliable performance with a touch of old-school charm. The mint color is a must-have.

1 thing we really like: The classic throwback style is one you don’t see much anymore.

Divot Board Mini

Your divots can sometimes provide valuable insights into your swing mechanics. The Divot Board Mini, a compact and portable version of the original, incorporates the same patented feedback technology. Each swipe leaves a visible mark indicating your ground contact and swing path, enabling you to quickly comprehend the direction of your swing path. Its lightweight and durable design, enhanced by handy suction cups, makes it suitable for use on various surfaces, including grass, carpet, and hard surfaces.

1 thing we really like: It technically comes in just $9.99 over our “Best Deals Under $50” cutoff, but it’s one of the few training aids worth bending the rules for.

Dual Grain Putting Mat

Just like on real greens, understanding grain can make a big difference in how a putt rolls and this mat helps you get a feel for those subtle changes. This 8-foot-long putting mat gives you the flexibility to practice on both slow and fast turf, helping you dial in speed control from home.

1 thing we really like: The dual-grain design actually mimics different green speeds. How cool is that?

Recovery ID

Don’t laugh, quite yet. These stickers are a great way to help increase the likelihood of a lost club finding its way back into your golf bag. Each tag can be scanned by any smartphone, allowing other players or course staff to quickly identify and return your gear. The company claims an 85 percent return rate and has no ongoing fees, making it an easy, low-cost way to protect your set. Includes 15 stickers for full-bag coverage. Also, the good samaritan who returns your club will earn a free pack of stickers for his own.

1 thing we really like: No subscription. Just stick them on and you’re covered.

Ghost Divot Tool

The Ghost Divot Tool easily repairs pitch marks on the green and features a slide-out ball marker with alignment aid markings to help you aim putts with more confidence. Because hey, if you’re going to fix ball marks on the green (good on you), you may as well get a little extra benefit from a tool that improves your alignment while you’re at it. It also includes a groove cleaner to keep your clubs performing properly and a built-in club rest to keep grips off the ground.

1 thing we really like: The alignment markings on the ball marker is a brilliant idea. So is the built-in club rest. (Guess that’s two things we really like.)

Team Effort Microfiber Towel

This 19″ x 41″ waffle-weave microfiber towel is built for everyday use, offering a soft yet durable design that cleans clubs without scratching the finish. The larger size gives you the flexibility to keep part of the towel wet for deeper cleaning and part dry for quick wipes. An 8″ center slit makes it easy to hang over clubs or your bag, while the embroidered collegiate logo adds a personalized touch/confidence booster when you need it. And speaking of logos, it’s available with a huge variety of trademarks.

1 thing we really like: The center slit makes matters much more convenient. We wish every golf towel had one.

Portable Chipping Net

This folding chipping basket is designed to help you sharpen your short game anywhere. It features three target zones to work on accuracy and distance control for players of all skill levels. The durable net collapses from a full 23-inch frame down to just 7 inches, making it easy to store or take anywhere.

1 thing we really like: Chipping nets are a staple at golf academies across the globe, mainly because they help you dial in not just direction, but proper trajectory. This one is perfect for that and easily folds away when not in use.
