The Acu-Strike Impact Golf Training Aid was named a Best New Product Award Winner at the 2019 PGA Show. I would best describe the Acu-Strike as an indoor mat sized 19” x 10” (their outdoor version is a bit smaller) which is placed upon carpet or concrete. Acu-Strike’s mats can be used with or without a golf ball. The mat uses a special fabric that is designed to leave a dark mark where your club hit in relation to the ball. This…
When on the range and putting green, I sometimes wonder why my golf ball goes right, left, or not where I intended it to go. I usually use an alignment stick at the range, and on the putting green, I always tinker with various training aids I recently started using LongShot Golf’s Impact Labels, which has helped me diagnose my off-kilter shots. The company has been offering their impact labels for over 30 years and these labels are by far…
Because I have periodic hip and back pain, I’m always searching for ways to alleviate my pain, especially while golfing. I’ve previously used KT Tape, Rock Tape, Bio Freeze and a host of other off-the-shelf items that are available at my local drug and sporting goods store. I used the KT Tape, Rock Tape, Bio Freeze and all the other things available at the local drug store, and sporting goods store. I came across something in a magazine showing Justin…
The Sound Caddy is a golf-inspired premium speaker that is designed to look just like a golf driver, with two (2) premium speakers that are embedded within the driver’s “head”. Interestingly, the Sound Caddy’s head is detachable and has a spike-type mount which allows it to be stored directly within the golf tee holder in your golf cart. This detachable feature makes this speaker system portable, allowing you to transport it almost anywhere. Another excellent feature is the Sound Caddy…
I’m pleased to report that I’ve stumbled upon a new glove from Major Ace that just may be a game-changer. Although I traditionally wear a cadet-sized FootJoy golf glove, Major Ace does not offer a cadet, so I settled for a Mens-Small. Fortunately for me, the small size fit my hand just fine. The Major Ace brand golf gloves come in 9 colors including white, grey, orange, black, light blue, teal and red. I choose the standard white. The first…
I don’t often write about golf apparel, as there are just too many brands out there. However, I have found Rhoback, who is a company that offers high quality golf apparel . . . and I think that their logo looks pretty cool too. Rhoback offers Q-Zip pullovers, polo shirts, hats and dog bandanas. I tried both a Rhoback polo shirt and a performance hat and I was very impressed. . Their polo has these awesome features – a collar…
Although this season is still young, my scores have been somewhat disappointing. I seem to have lost a degree of accuracy with my driver and irons, so I’ve begun searching for answers. Because all clues pointed to my grip, I thought that I may have been doing something different subconsciously – something that I hadn’t been doing before. After repeatedly practicing to hold my hands at different places up, down and around the grip, I decided to try The Perfect Golf Grip,…
When on the links, I always use a golf towel, whether to wipe off a club or clean a ball. A quality golf towel is an essential accessory. I’ve always simply taken a white hand towel, wet it down and thrown it over the back of my bag. I make it a habit of always wiping off my clubs after each shot (especially bunkers) as they always seem to get mud, sand and dirt in between their grooves. Lastly, I…
Because I seem to require an energy boost after the front 9 holes, I usually carry a bag of peanuts to eat at the turn. A small bag of peanuts is an easy and convenient snack that I always carry in my golf bag. Sometimes I splurge with a hot dog at the turn, but I’m convinced that there are better ways to maintain my endurance without sacrificing nutrition. I shy away from traditional energy bars as I don’t enjoy…
PGA Tour professional, Jim Furyk, is the brand ambassador for the On Point company who happens to sell a truly unique ball marker – it has a 3-dimensional design unlike anything I’ve seen before. On Point’s marker is domed but can convert to a flat marker if someone’s putting behind you. The On Point ball marker acts as a visual guide that helps you commit to your putting line. It also happens to speed up the pace of play as…
