Best golf wedges for ultra precise shots
If you play Mizuno clubs, then there's a good chance it's for the feel. The brand makes clubs that offer some of the best feedback when striking the ball on the market. It's not just the feel, though, that'll draw players to the new wedge range in 2025. We don't say this lightly, but Mizuno has released some of the best-looking clubs ever made this year. Not enough people are talking about the beautiful Mizuno Pro S-3 Irons, which are some of the cleanest, most premium-looking on the market, and the Pro T-3 are our pick for the best-looking wedges you can buy right now, too.
The clubs come in a stunning satin finish, with an embossed Mizuno logo in the forged face, which offers a beautiful soft feel. The face is bigger than some other models we tried, with a nice teardrop face profile. The size helps to add a sense of security, but the profile is still sleek thanks to a clean top line.
The Quad Cut+ grooves really help create good stopping power, with loads of spin and soft feel. The small cavity back design makes it more forgiving than most, too.

Why Caitlin Clark's latest injury is terrible timing for the WNBA
Last August, the WNBA announced that Indianapolis — home of the Indiana Fever and Caitlin Clark — would host the league's All-Star weekend this season for the first time. Clark's home city was a logical choice for this week's star-studded festivities. During her rookie season last year, Clark had an incredible impact on the WNBA's business, single-handedly accounting for massive increases in merchandise sales, viewership and attendance. On Thursday, however, the WNBA's best-laid plans for a Clark-led All-Star weekend officially went awry, as Clark announced she would have to sit out because of a left groin injury. 'I am incredibly sad and disappointed to say I can't participate in the 3-Point Contest or the All-Star Game,' Clark said in a statement. 'I have to rest my body. I will still be at Gainbridge Fieldhouse for all the action and I'm looking forward to helping Sandy [Brondello] coach our team to a win.' The injury is the third that has caused Clark to miss time during her sophomore season. She played in only 13 of the Fever's 23 games before the All-Star break because of quad and groin injuries. It's significant not only for Clark as a player — prior to this season, she had never missed a game in college or in her rookie year — but also for the league. While the WNBA has been steadily increasing in popularity, Clark still has an outsized impact on the attention she and the league command. Her previous injuries, for example, caused ticket prices to plummet on multiple occasions. Ticket prices to a June 27 game against the Dallas Wings fell by 40% after Clark was injured in the previous game, according to Front Office Sports. That drop was paltry compared to Indiana's June 7 game against the Chicago Sky, which has become one of the league's most anticipated matchups thanks to Clark's rivalry with Angel Reese. Ticket prices for that game — which was moved from the Sky's usual home arena to the larger United Center — fell by 71% after an injury to Clark in May. Her absence is also felt in TV ratings. In mid-June, the national audience for WNBA games fell by 55% while Clark was out, according to Nielsen. In nationally televised games featuring the Fever, ratings were down 53%. With Clark out, now it's the All-Star game that will be at the mercy of her absence. Last year, the game had a record 3.4 million viewers, a 305% increase compared with 2023, according to the WNBA. Tickets for last season were also in high demand, according to StubHub, which claimed that sales for the 2024 All-Star game were 13 times higher than the previous three years. The cheapest ticket, per StubHub, was $146 on the Monday before the game. This year, Clark's injury immediately affected the resale market. On Wednesday, Front Office Sports reported that the get-in price for the All-Star game on TickPick was $121. On Thursday, less than two hours after Clark announced she wouldn't play, the get-in price on TickPick fell to $72 — a 40% decrease. The full impact of Clark's injury on All-Star weekend won't be known until the weekend wraps up. (She's also not the only star who will be out, with Atlanta Dream guard Rhyne Howard and Phoenix Mercury forward Satou Sabally dealing with injuries. Reese's availability is in question after she missed Wednesday's game with a leg injury.) But as the league has observed multiple times this season, Clark's absence can be as important as her presence.

Caitlin Clark pulls out of All-Star weekend due to groin injury
INDIANAPOLIS — Caitlin Clark is out of All-Star weekend. The Indiana Fever guard injured her right groin on Tuesday night in the final minute of the team's win over the Connecticut Sun. She said Thursday in a message posted on X that she was "sad and disappointed" to pull out of the All-Star Game and 3-Point Contest. Clark was supposed to compete in a loaded 3-point contest Friday night and is the captain of one of the All-Star teams. The second-year guard was the leading vote getter from the fans and has been a huge reason the league has had a boon in attendance and ratings over the last two seasons.

Horse racing tips: Thursday July 17
Ron Wood's selections NAP: Los Toldos (8.30, Leopardstown) 1pt win @ 12/1 with Betfred ⭐⭐⭐ Other: Galen (6.52, Leopardstown) 1pt win @ 9/4 with Betfred ⭐⭐ Odds provided by Betfred and correct at the time of writing. Stars denote strength of selection (max 5). If you already have a Betfred account and are looking for a new bookmaker to use for this week's racing, check out more free bets from the best betting sites, reviewed by our experts. 6.52, Leopardstown – Meld Stakes (Group 3, 1m 1f) GALEN has a 3lb penalty, but has advanced his form to near Group 1 level this year. Yes, he was beaten into second in a Listed race, the Wolferton Stakes, at Royal Ascot most recently, but that was a mighty effort under a 5lb penalty against some smart rivals. Earlier in the campaign JP O'Brien's charge had too much speed for Jan Brueghel, who then won a Group 1, when taking a Curragh Group 3, albeit that rival had extra weight and probably needed the run. Galen is a hardy sort who should give his running. Dylan Browne McMonagle is in the saddle, teaming up with the Gleneagles gelding for a 13th consecutive ride. 8.30, Leopardstown – Handicap (1m 5f) LOS TOLDOS, a 750,000gn yearling, won a 1m 4f novice for Charlie Appleby in Britain last year. He was later let go for a relatively paltry 27,000gn, but may prove well bought. This son of Frankel was well beaten in a 1m 6f Flat race at Gowran in April, but that cannot have been his true running, as he won a maiden hurdle at Cork the next month. That form has worked out really well, with the second, third and fifth all winning since. There seems a fair chance that our nap will prove ahead of his mark. Selection: Los Toldos 1pt win @ 12/1 with Betfred Today's UK and Irish racing (Flat unless stated) Hamilton 1.50-4.55 Leicester 2.00-5.10 Chepstow 2.10-5.20 Leopardstown 4.45-8.30 Killarney (NH) 5.01-8.15 Worcester (NH) 5.05-8.55 Epsom 5.55-8.40 What does NAP mean? NAP is a word used in betting circles to describe a prediction that a tipster thinks has a particularly strong chance of winning. Many horse racing tipsters pick out a 'NAP of the day', which is their favoured selection from all the races across the different meetings. The term NAP derives from the French card game Napoleon. When players of this game thought they had a particularly strong hand that they would win with, they would shout 'Napoleon'. What is an each-way bet? An each-way bet is a popular type of wager, particularly with horse racing fans. It is essentially two bets, both of which have the same size stake. An each-way bet features one bet on the selection to win and the other bet on the selection to place. So a £10 each-way bet will cost you a total of £20. There will be one £10 bet on the selection to win and another £10 on the selection to place. It's a popular bet because it offers punters the chance of a return, even if the horse in question fails to win. Bookmakers will pay out at a stated percentage of the odds for a place finish, for example one-fifth of the starting price (SP) for finishing in the first three. The more runners there are in a horse race, the more places will be on offer. In races that feature lots of runners, the horses will be available at bigger odds, making an each-way bet a wise choice.
