Golf Gadgets; WTF? (Part 4)

June 27, 2012 | By Pete Girotto | 1 Comment

This stuff just doesn’t get old. Ok, so hold on a minute, you mean to tell me that after using all these gadgets you’re still not on the tour? That’s just incongruous and inane. All that hard earned money invested and still no ROI.  With that in mind…round 4…ding!

What They Say: The SKLZ Straight Shooter gives you honest feedback on your golf swing and helps eliminate slices and hooks to hit longer and straighter. Learn the perfect golf swing. Take the practice range anywhere and never run out of golf balls. Hit with any wood, iron or wedge.

What I Say: You know why it helps eliminate slices and hooks? Because the ball doesn’t go anywhere. It spins round n’ round on a stick…talk about insulting our intelligence.

What They Say: This is the putting trainer that helps you improve your ball striking, club path, and putt alignment. The system’s infrared sensors detect both the speed and direction of each putt, providing precise, instant feedback by showing exactly where the midpoint of the ball has struck the bar in relation to its “virtual hole.”

What I Say: You know, for $330 you would think it should look more like a putting aid and less like a shoe size measuring device. If I bought this I would certainly feel like a certain kind of “hole” but not so virtual.

What They Say: Get your putting up to par with this precision-calibrated practice aid.

  • Rolls dead ahead with the perfect putt, but spins or veers when stroked at an angle
  • Wheels control the ball’s path
  • Great for home or office

What I Say: Slap some training wheels on that sum’bitch and watch her go…yeehaw!

Well, that’ll wrap things up for round four. Thanks again for all the great emails and support!

Hit’em long…yell FORE!!!
