Join TaylorMade Spider precision putter
If you want to get better at golf, why not obtain some help from the Spider precision putter from TaylorMade? The company is proud to claim that the clubface itself is extremely well-balanced, that shots hit off the toe or heel end up closer to the cup compared to any of its competitors. It is interesting to note that tests have shown even misfired putts on purpose do defy logic and head nearer the cup instead. Move over, Tiger Woods, with the Spider precision putter, I’m going to see you off at St. Andrews next year.

Backpack Bike is Transformer for Real
Some of our readers might be avid cyclists, but live in the big city. If you live in a high rise, you might have a terrible problem when you have to bring the bike into the elevator. Then there is that awkward moment as the elevator car stops mid-way gets way too crowded. Bikes take up a lot of space in apartments as well as elevators, and it would be nice if bikes could somehow shrink when not needed.
The Backpack Bicycle solves this problem by folding up the bike into a compact transport for your back. The designer, Chang Ting Jen, also reduced the weight of the bike by using plastics instead of metal.

Halo 6-in-1 Projection Alarm Clock
I know when most people say “Halo”, what springs to mind is that fragging-cool game for the Xbox. In this case, I am referring to the Halo 6-in-1 Projection Alarm Clock Flashlight that even Master Chief himself would be comfortable with.
The six functions of the Halo are the projection alarm clock, flashlight, clock, timer, calendar, as well as a built-in compass. The projection alarm clock, which means you can shine your wake-up time right on the wall. Apparently, you can also shine a regular white light, as the device has a flashlight function.

Wiggystyle from the land of the Vikings
What’s Wiggystyle, you ask? Well, I had the same blank look when I first read the product description in its full unedited glory below.
The purpose of Wiggystyle is to create an extra attitude to helmets of various kinds, make the user feel cool and get an extra attention to be earned when trick with the bike, board or ski. Since virtually all young people have a helmet of some kind, we have chosen to do Wiggystyle to an accessory that is attached to the helmet in place. A package contains two parts, a cool haircut and a black Velcro tape. The Velcro tape is fitted with a water-based glue that does not affect the helmet in any way. The glue makes the Velcro tape solid and reliable but come off easily simply by plenty of lukewarm water. The Velcro tape also makes it possible to use the Wiggystyle when it suits, you can switch between different colors to match the clothes you wear today.
OK, so Wiggystlye is but a way to help you gain some street cred by offering an alternative design to your helmet whenever you indulge in a little extreme sports. Currently, only Spike and Punk styles are available, and I hope to see more in the near future.
Cali Hoddie keeps skateboarding safe
The hoodie shown here may look like just your average hoodie, but it has a bit of added protection for skateboarders. In the picture where you see the darkened sections, all but the one at the neck, are spots with added pads. When you take a nasty spill, it will help protect you from injuries. Also the spot where your hands slip through has another built-in pad. When you just want to wear the hoodie as a normal hoodie or it needs washed, the pads can be removed by unzipping the pouch.

Nike Huperdunks are Back From the Future
When I first saw Back to the Future II back in 1989, I remember being quite impressed with their version of the year 2015. At last, a science fiction film that presented the future not as a dark place, but something like today, with more advanced technology and its own set of problems.
Ever since I saw that film, I have always thought of the year 2015 as this giant due date. Now we have only seven years to catch up to this futuristic technology. We’re probably a long way off from flying cars, but Back to the Future II did show us something more probable: shoes that lace themselves.
The shoes from that film sported the Nike logo, and so the company has finally decided to mass produce those shoes from the movie. They have dubbed them the Hyperdunk, and they will be endorsed by none other than Kobe Bryant.

Crystallized Foosball Table
Table football, or Foosball, might be known as the most unglamorous form of gaming in the world. Mostly known for being spotted in seedy sports bars and dirty basements, there’s not much you can say about the foosball table that makes it seem fitting for the luxurious crowd. BlingMyThing says “Think again!”

Mark of Fitness MF-180
I saw that new Incredible Hulk film last weekend. While I was more impressed with this franchise reboot than Ang Lee’s The Hulk, that isn’t saying much. I mean, that 2003 Hulk movie isn’t hard to top.
I only bring up this new version of The Incredible Hulk because the film showed a very practical gadget for those who have been infected by gamma-induced Jekyll and Hyde syndrome. In the film, Bruce Banner (Edward Norton) wore a wrist monitor that showed a digital readout of his heart rate. If it went above 200, then he was about to turn mean and green. Fortunately, the device had an alert that went off before that happened.
Perhaps Bruce should have purchased the Mark of Fitness MF-180, which features an out of zone alarm. As you can see, it affixes right to the finger to monitor vital signs. This out of zone alarm allows a regular person to avoid too much intensity for a workout.
