I got fitted about 2 years ago for a driver at high end fitting company. It was a very cool experience and I was there for about 1.5 hours trying numerous drivers and shaft combinations. I hit over 100 shots and after everything was said and done, the fitter told me I need to upgrade to a higher end shaft which would improve my dispersion. I ordered a new Callaway driver with an Accra shaft. I had never heard of…
I always try to get to the golf course an hour or so early to get my tempo and rhythm warm-ups in prior to going to the driving range. To play your best, you’ve got to have good swing-tempo and rhythm. I’ve tried many warm-up tools, including the tool with the “orange ball”. Yet, I have found them all to be too flexible, and in the end, they never helped smooth-out my swing. My newest find is the Power Flex…
Over my years of golfing every 4 – 5 times per week, I’ve developed what my doctor refers to “Golfer’s Elbow” in my left arm. As a general practice, I use a simple compression sleeve to try and alleviate the dull ache in my elbow. Recently I tested Kryofit Sport’s unique cold-compression sleeve with integral icepacks built-in. All I can say is, “Wow!” The compression, combined with the cold pack, provides real relief to my elbow’s aches and pains. Kryofit…
Everyone wants to hit the golf ball farther. I’ve never been a long-hitter, yet I’ve always felt that I have the ability to do so. I’ve tried many golf training aids that have made big promises to increase my game’s distance, none have made an impact. Having the ability to turn more around your body more I always believed was the key to more distance, yet no training aids I’ve seen have helped with that until now! I’ve always believed…
I’ve tested a number of golf gloves over the years. Although some are better than others, most golf gloves don’t offer anything truly innovative, until now. Although Caddy Daddy Golf may be better known for their golf travel bags, I’ve found their “Claw” Golf Glove to be noticeably different than any glove I’d previously seen. The company claims that their Claw glove will not blacken, crack harden or tear, and will last 3 – 5 times longer than typical gloves found…
Putting is perhaps the most important element of everyone’s golf game, so it’s no surprise that there are so many different putters to support all the different putting styles. I’ve tried numerous putting training aids, and I found each one to be more of a chore than an enjoyable exercise. I’m pleased to report that I’ve found a great putting training aid that works. It has no electronics and can be used both indoors and outdoors. Most importantly, it’s a…
There’s a good deal of talk out there about CBD and golf. With many PGA players now sponsoring CBD merchandise, I decided to try a few products, with the first one on my list being CBD chewing gum from a company called Per Os Biosciences. This company offers two CBD products – gum and mints, both of which are THC Free, so there’s no “high” associated with the use of either of these products. Here are a few standouts from…
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…
