 Magnetic therapy is all the rage, especially among baby boomers who discover new aches and pains on a daily basis. The claim by alternative-medicine practitioners is that strategically placed magnets promote increased blood circulation and that increased blood circulation promotes healing and pain reduction. Say hello to MagicBelt. Don Rauscher created the MagicBelt ($60) by placing neodymium magnets into Italian leather belts to provide pain and muscle relief while still looking fashionable. Former NFL star Eric Dickerson (a certifiable golf nut) designed the MagicBelt Classics ($80), which feature golf tees, clubs and flagstick edgings on the buckle. If your bad back is preventing you from picking your ball out of the cup on the back nine, check out MagicBelt. Visit www.magicbelt.com or call (866) 761-BELT. LOVETT WEDGE Shanks, skulls, chili dips. To eliminate those words from your golfing vocabulary, try the Lovett Wedge, designed by Dr. Bill Lovett, a Florida dentist who played college golf at Auburn and is still a scratch player. The Lovett Wedge has a leading edge that is curved ahead of the hosel to reduce drag and prevent the opening or closing of the clubface when impacting any surface. This helps beginning to intermediate duffers make cleaner contact from the rough or sand without having modifying their swings. There’s a 59-degree and 63-degree model in steel and graphite shafts that sell for $100-$120. Visit www.lovettgolf.com. LETTERS, WE GET LETTERS! And e-mail, too. From Ed Larkin in LaVerne: Eric, I look forward to your new products and gadgets page every month. However, remember it was Lee Trevino who said, “The only true gadget guaranteed to cut strokes off the average hacker’s golf score began about 15 years ago when golf courses began issuing scoring pencils that had erasers.” — Eric Tracy Those interested in having their golf gizmos, gadgets and product(s) reviewed can contact Eric Tracy by email at eric@themulliganman.com. |
