Approximately 40,000 golf industry professionals gather each year for the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, Fla. It’s a visual feast of nearly 10 miles of aisles featuring 1,300 vendors and their new golf products and services. Here are three items that caught my eye. BEST GADGETStiletto on cutting edge with new tool I knew when the switch-blade divot tool came out a few years ago someone would find a way to make one act like a stiletto knife and spring straight out of the handle. This company took that idea one better. Not only does the divot tool spring out, it also springs back when you’re done using it. Very cool. The tool also features a notch, so when it’s in the ground it can keep your cigar or cigarette off the chemical-laden turf. There’s also a nifty ball marker that fits into the flat handle. The Stiletto Green Tool sells for $16. Find it online at stilettogreentool.com.  BEST ADAPTATIONBack-Pocket Towel is just the right fit You never see a PGA professional putt a dirty ball. Neither should you. For those who hate carrying a dirty, stinky towel, the Rule Twenty One back-pocket towel from Rule Golf is for you. The lightweight design fuses a bamboo terry inner layer with a soft-feel waterproof shell that gives you a clean shot at making that putt. This towel is just the right size to stylishly fit in your back pocket. Available in four colors, it sells for $20 online at ruletwentyone.com. BEST TRAINING AID  Viz-Kit is portable and affordable Training aids only work if you use them, but most are too bulky to carry around. Nuru Planet has solved that problem with its simple and portable training aids, most selling for less than $10. The best deal is the Viz Kit ($40), which features five aids bundled in a pouch that fits in most golf bag pockets. The kit includes the Viz-U, a putting aid that squares your stance and putter, helps keep your eyes over the ball, and channels the first 8-12 inches of the putt. The Viz-T is an aid for your power game. Just anchor it to the ground with a tee and it helps your aim by squaring your stance and clubface. Visit nuruplanet.com. |
