 Can you learn from your divots? After digging a trench with a wedge deep enough to install a sprinkler system, you probably know you hit it fat. DivotMat can show you why. Grab an iron, address one of the nine ball images and swing away. The image sheets, attached to a polycarbonate mat, record where you hit the ball on the clubface. DivotMat can be used indoors, outdoors or at the range. Once you know what you’re doing wrong, it’s easy to make the corrections for better ball contact. The DivotMat, Divot Pad and 56 Divot Sheets (500 balls) sell for about $100. Replacement sheets sell for $20. Visit www.divotmat.com. SPEED STIK- Whistle While You Work The Speed Stik is designed to increase your swing speed, but what if your swing is bad to begin with? The device helps there, too. The Speed Stik makes a whistling sound during the motion and then chirps when you release your wrists. If the chirp happens before the bottom of your swing, you’re releasing your wrists too early. The combination of swinging the Speed Stik correctly and regularly will do wonders for your clubhead speed and power. Available at Roger Dunn Golf Shops for $99. For more information, visit www.thespeedstik.com. TEE-OFF SUPER POP-UP PRACTICE NET- Who Needs a Driving Range…Nyet! So now you’ve discovered the joy of practicing when you want and where you want. And you don’t even have to hit balls to improve. But when you do and don’t want to go to the range, enter the Tee-Off Super Pop-Up Practice Net. It pops up instantly to a 7-foot diameter with nylon netting, aluminum poles and anchoring stakes. When you’re done practicing, it quickly folds to half size for easy storage in a nylon bag. Or, since it never rains in Southern California, leave it up for spur-of-the-moment practicing. The Tee-Off Super Pop-Up Practice Net has a suggested retail price of $115. Check it out at www.martingolfusa.com. FAIRWAY PRACTICE MAT- SofTee Is No Softie Using a practice net is great, but not if you dig up the lawn in the process. SofTee Manufacturing sells high-quality golf mats to driving ranges around the world, and now you can have one in your back yard. The SofTee Fairway Practice Mat has a two-piece system that allows users to adjust their stance for hitting woods and short irons. The mat also is portable, and the box it comes in has a handle to make it easy to move and store. The SofTee Fairway Practice Mat sells for about $150. Visit www.softeemfg.com. PROZRELIEF- Oh, My Aching Back After all that practice, you’re walking like a Neanderthal. Most pain-relieving creams just mask the pain and you end up smelling like comphor. ProzRelief Pain Relieving Cream, developed by Mike Smoltz, brother of Atlanta Braves pitcher John Smoltz, delivers an anti-inflammatory agent — ibuprofen — directly to the affected area. Ah, that’s better. This topical form of pain therapy is being used by some sports teams for the treatment of injuries, tendonitis, bruising, painful joints and more. As with any medication, check the product’s ingredients or with your doctor if you have questions. ProzRelief is available at Roger Dunn Golf Shops or online at www.prozrelief.com. |
