New Golf Gadgets Just In Time For The 2012 Golf Season
Online, February 2, 2012 (Newswire.com) - We welcome the 2012 PGA Merchandise Show and the new golf gadgets that have made there way to market this year. A new initiative called golf 2.0 was announced at the show this year to promote programs that help bring more golfers into the sport.
Many of the leading golf companies including Bridgestone, Callaway Golf, Cleveland/ Srixon, Cobra, Nike, Mizuno, Ping, PUMA, TaylorMade, Titleist, and Wilson were all showing off new products that are practically guaranteed to improve your enjoyment in the game, if not lower your scores.
A competition of sorts has seemed to have arisen in the sport of golf where manufacturers bring out at least one new complete set of clubs for both the professional and amateur each year. Then you will find a myriad of inventors who seem to have a tie into golf or are associated with a golfing celebrity. This year is no different. 2012 brings a number of fresh products, including GPS units which not only tell you the distance to the pin but in the use of reflectors will let you know how far you are away from bunkers or other hazards.
Although the golf world told us the lighter the better for the past decade, a new set of golf grips called the Boccieri Secret Grip would tell you the exact opposite. By having an increased weight the balance of the club is changed, which is supposed to promote better shot making.
How about a device which weighs about an ounce that you attach to your golf club and it interacts with your smartphone. The Swingbyte will transfer data which includes swing path, speed, and lie angle so that you might be able to analyze the good shots from the bad.
Finally, getting the vote for the product that offers the most fun is the SNAG Golf Sticky Suit. Just grab your kids and let them hit golf balls at you. Yes, with sticky balls and a velcro suit, even if you are not having fun, your kids sure will be.
Looking forward to the upcoming 2012 golf season and seeing these new products on the golf course.
