Golf Swing Analyzing Watch

May 18th, 2007 by Al in Golf Gadgets

Golfers Watch
If you take your golfing seriously (or just like spending a load of money on golf gadgets) and want to know everything there is to know about your golf swing then this watch could be the answer.

The golf swing analysing watch records a load of statistics about your swing, including:

  1. Tempo
  2. Rhythm
  3. Backswing length
  4. Club-head speed
  5. and the time

The stats are accurate up to 1/100th of second, so if you’re at the level were honing your timing to that extent would make a difference then what are you waiting for.

You can get the golf swing analysing watch for $399.95 from Hammacher, which is a paltry amount of money compared to all the additional prize money you’re sure to win*.

* -Golf is a game of skill and boredom so we cannot be held responsible if you’re crap at it, watch or not

Poolside Golf

May 11th, 2007 by Al in Golf Gadgets, Gaming Gadgets

Pool golf

We do seem to feature quite a few pool gadgets and golf gizmos and this next product combines the two, Pro-Chip Island Golf.

To play the game simply float the island in your pool and then try to chip the balls onto the green. As each ball has a velcro cross they should stick to the float rather than bouncing off into the water. It comes complete with 12 balls which should minimize the time you need to go paddling on ball retrieval duties (or the bumber of times you push the kids in the pool and tell them to “Go fetch”).

The full kit (minus golf club) costs $49.95 from Solutions.

The poor man’s version of Golden Tee

April 30th, 2007 by Mike in Golf Gadgets, Gaming Gadgets, Electronic Gadgets, Audio/Video Gadgets

Golden Tee for your TV
You know those big Golden Tee machines they have in bars? They’re the ones that charge a few bucks for a quick 5 minutes of entertainment/gameplay. While most people get their kicks with a game or two, some really love it and don’t want to spend the money on a full blown machine but still want to play it at home. For those people, you can get the Golden Tee (trademarked, hoo hah!) television golf game. Think of it as the poor man’s version of Golden Tee.

Bringing new meaning to the “Flop shot” The Floppy, indoor golf aid

April 16th, 2007 by Fred in Golf Gadgets, Sport, Wacky Gadgets, Miscellaneous Gadgets

Typically, it’s not so good to be floppy. You can even ask Mr. Floppy, he’ll tell you.flight chart

In this case, it is a good thing, “The Floppy” is a practice golf ball made for indoor use.

That’s right, an indoor golf ball!

They’ve got a patented process for developing and producing these little beauties. Plus, what else are you supposed to do if you live in Santa Barbara? Surf, hang out in I.V., and make indoor golf balls, ahh that’s the life.

The good thing is it plays (rises and falls) like a regular ball, not like a weird physics defying whiffle ball (which are really only good for baseball/whiffle ball.cut away

They say that it won’t break windows or mar walls. You’re only supposed to use it with short irons though (think pitching wedge people). So if you’ve got a new big bertha you’re dying to try, go to the range, or bang it out the window of your 30th story penthouse office.

Seriously, I don’t mind,, though some others may (those on the streets below, your boss, you’ll now have a new wind noise in your office for the next 10 minutes while you work there until you’re fired, and or pushed out of it). Read the rest of this entry »

SkyCaddie, a GPS for golfers

April 16th, 2007 by Darrell in Golf Gadgets

Sky Caddie

Most of my time spent on the links consists of looking for my ball, drinking beers, and yelling “fore” at the other golfers destined to get plunked by one of my awful drives gone wrong. Honestly, I don’t think any whiz-bang gadget could ever help me with my wicked slice. But if you are a decent golfer who needs that little edge over opponents a GPS range finder type gadget might be what you are looking for.

POPaPUTT for the golfer that can’t golf but still wants to win

March 13th, 2007 by Mike in Golf Gadgets

POPaPUTT
You know those terrible mediocre movies and TV shows that have the characters playing golf. Of course you do. There’s always the sneaky player who actually sucks at golf but knows how to cheat. Somehow the ball will always roll that extra few inches into the hole and their opponent’s ball will simply stop an inch or two short, or if you can get away with it, it’ll just pop out if it ever gets into the hole. Since you already have your remote control golf ball to take care of the first prank, the only missing part is the POPaPUTT Golf gizmo. Don’t worry, it’s about half the price (and almost as cool.)

Golf Ball Launcher

March 6th, 2007 by Al in Conceptual Gadgets, Golf Gadgets

Golf ball gun

Is that a man shooting birds, nope it’s a bloke with a decidedly dodgy mullet playing golf with the golf ball launcher.

Designed for people that have mobility issues or who are just crap at golf is the golf ball launcher is capable of firing balls from 25 yards to over 300 . Instead of having to whack the ball with a club you simply pump up your launcher, load, take aim and fire. I’d expect you’d get some very funny looks at the 19th hole, well that is until you point it at them.

It’s a bit of a concept gadget at the moment (phew), further info over at Invention Showcase.
