"Everyone has his own choking level, a level at which he fails to play his normal golf. As you get more experienced, your choking level rises." |

Club designers are using new geometry that says square equals straight. Nickent Golf says its 4DX driver can do the same thing with a traditional-looking clubhead. The 460 CC driver is 180 grams, which translates to a faster clubhead speed. And it features direction control with inserts so the driver can be configured to fit two basic swing types. The Draw Spec has an anti-slice setup for the player who wants a higher ball flight and a natural draw. The Tour Spec is engineered for those who like to work their ball flight. The Nickent 4DX is a beauty that launches drives you can actually find. What a concept. It retails for around $400 and is available at Roger Dunn Golf Shops and other stores. Visit nickentgolf.com. GET A GRIP ON CLEAN CLUBS I’ve seen every kind of club brush that hits the market, and most of them work. The problem is, when you need it, the thing is buried in your bag. ClubScrub clips to bags with a sturdy plastic grip. The dual-faced brush — one plastic, one metal — detaches easily when needed. If you want shots to spin, your club grooves need to be free of dirt. ClubScrub, which retails for $13, will see to that. Available at Golf Etc. stores and at clubscrub.net. USING YOUR HEAD How come when you really need a bottle opener, there’s never one around? The folks at coolergadgets.com — a must-see site if you’re into cool liquid refreshments — have an OpenerHat that solves the problem. The opener is wedged into the brim of a cap or visor. Even if you never use it, it’s a great conversation starter. The OpenerHat sells for $16 online at coolergadgets.com. Click Beverage Gadgets once you get to the site. |
