SKLZ Straight Shooter

Edwin — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 13:03:16 +0000

Are you an avid golfer who is always on the lookout to improve your game? Well, there are many ways of going around it, from hiring a full-time golf coach to picking up all the expensive equipment. There is, however, this old adage – a good workman never blames his tools, and this is where the £14.99 SKLZ Straight Shooter comes in handy. You need not spend thousands, and what you would pay for an above average meal outside might eventually be the tool to raise your game by a notch and helping you achieve lower scores on the green.

If you want to practice your golf swing and yet do not really enjoy it at the driving range, most of the time, you would do far more walking and ball picking than swinging. Not so witht the SKLZ Straight Shooter, as this easy to assemble and light device will let you make any swing without having to worry about purchasing a new bucket of golf balls once the current one runs out. All you need to do is be slightly more patient – the moment the ball stops spinning, it is time to take your next shot.

Don’t Run with your iPod, Okay, maybe you Should.

I’ve always loved Paint Ball and Lazer Tag, they both have been around for a while and there hasnt been too much new about them, but they have always been a good weekend standby for getting a bit of exercise and having some fun with friends, but with all the gizmos and gadgets out there today, couldn’t some of our old standbys be just a little more exciting?

Yup! Nerf and Hasbro have resurrected the game of Lazer Tag by adding some well known technology… your iPod or your iPhone, that’s right, just by mounting your iPhone or your iPod touch in a special holder on the brand new lazer “Blasters” a downloadable app enables an extension of the firing range to 250 feet and introduces a heads up display that shows, trajectory and gaming stats and even provides an updating leader-board for you and up to 23 of your closest friends.

The app will also let you unlock more power and other rewards as you play. Cooler then that, the iDevice will also allow you to engage in single player games where the device screen acts in an augmented reality capacity allowing you to engage “virtual” enemies imposed over your real-life background, and “take them out!”

Anyway, youre not going to get your mitts on these weapons of mass destruction anytime soon, they arent due for roll out until mid-summer, but with a 40 dollar a piece price tag, (and a 2 for 70 dollar special) I can see a couple in my future. That, and lots and lots of AA batteries…. By the way, the Blasters can also be used “old school” without the special enhancements offered by your iDevice… but I’m pretty sure my iPod wants to play too….

It’s a Bike, It’s a Scooter – NO! It’s EzyRoller

Julie — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 14:11:29 +0000

Okay, so I admit that I’m a huge fan of electronics, obviously. My favorite things in this world are animated and have bells and whistles, but I have to say, that every now and then, I remember being a kid and I remember having fun that you used to have to work for. The kind of fun that made you tired at the end of the day, the kind of fun that made you excited about weekends.

Well I’d like to introduce you to some new fangled, old-school fun, welcome EzyRoller, a low to the ground ride on toy that combines the control of a bike and the fun of a scooter. Not a luge, not a bike and not a scooter, the EzyRoller moves like a snake all without chains or pedals simply by using easy right-left leg movements. Just like in the old days there are no batteries and the EzyRoller moves and turns silently, unless of course you count the screams and giggles.

There doesn’t seem to be too many things out there that are exactly like the EzyRoller, after reading several reviews it is obvious that these steel framed ride-ons are pretty safe and durable. EzyRollers use top quality materials and engineering. They are suitable for use on flat and smooth outdoor or indoor surfaces, and it is highly suggested you avoid hilly terrain. The EzyRoller is meant for kids from 4 to 14 years of age.

So I think I’m going to get my kiddo one of these and see if we can get her unplugged for a weekend, I’m sure she’ll love it, and it sure would be nice to see her fall asleep from sheer exhaustion for a change… who knows, playing around outside might just catch on…

Mini Table Tennis Table

Edwin — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 12:14:29 +0000

There is something about miniaturizing something that makes it cuter and more fun – otherwise, how else do you explain the number of dog breeds out there that fall under the “Toy” category? Well, sport is not something you miniaturize easily, although futsal, being a variation of football (soccer to the Americans), has certainly done well in select countries. As for the sport of table tennis, how does one downsize it? Ask the experts at Firebox, who has come up with the £24.99 Mini Table Tennis Table. Of course, do not expect this sport to end up as an Olympic event anytime soon, but at least you can get your ping pong kicks in whenever you are on the move, as the Mini Table Tennis Table can be set up just about anywhere.

It will come with two mini table tennis bats, a couple of table tennis balls as well as a pop-up net so you can play right out of the box, there and then. It might be a fraction of the size of a regulation table, but that would mean you need to be more delicate in your return shots and serves. Of course, playing this while you are on a moving bus is not such a good idea, especially when the ball tends to bounce all over the place after a wayward shot or a smash, but it sure is fun to look at!

SKLZ Jimmy Ball

Edwin — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 12:30:27 +0000

If you think that you are able to play footie better than Fernando Torres or Andy Carroll, then you might want to make sure you get in as much practice as possible, so why not start with the £19.99 SKLZ Jimmy Ball? It will allow you to juggle the ball better in the long run, since a miss would not leave you scampering after the wayward ball. Not only that, you need not restrict yourself to playing in an enclosed and cramped area, as the SKLZ Jimmy Ball comprises a wearable leash for your football. All you need to do is loop it around your arms, and you are then able to practice juggling, volleys, cheeky backheels, headers, and even chest traps without missing a beat, and not having to worry about the ball bouncing off elsewhere and breaking someone’s window or special bone china collection. It comes with its own size 5 ball, and is said to improves coordination, agility, skill and concentration in a single device. Look out Torres, you might be on the bench longer than you think!

Swimmer’s Treadmill burns those calories with as little space as possible

Edwin — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 12:30:16 +0000

One of the inconveniences of modern times would be the lack of living space for the average person simply because nobody makes new land anymore – unless you are reclaiming it, of course, which is “cheating”. Not only that, property prices do not seem to get lower each year, but on average, they tend to hold and go north – unless there is a really bad recession, of course. Having said that, not everyone is able to afford a home with a swimming pool, so this is where the $1,400 Swimmer’s Treadmill comes in handy.

Such a swimming pool is basically the translation of a regular treadmill, except that you will be swimming laps in a stationary position. Sounds like some sort of sorcery, but actually, this 65′ square pool is small enough to be set up in garages, backyards, and even basements. A harness will wrap around your waist, as long as it is no smaller than 22″ and you do not have love handles that send the measuring tape more than 42″. A flexible elastic tether will also be part of the set up that suspends swimmers in the water, delivering different levels of resistance. For example, stronger strokes and kicks will yield additional resistance. Even better news is this – there is no need for any special tools, plumbing, or electrical work to get it installed, where all you need to do is fill up the 4.5-feet high pool with 1,500 gallons of fresh, chlorinated, or saltwater. It is about time you start burning those fats accumulated during the holiday season, of course, to get in shape for Valentine’s Day.
