Just what I need to improve my putting: The “Stripper Putter.” Nothing like slobbering over at a set of DD’s for my preshot routine. |
Is it cold in here? |

Cart top luggage carrier, for all those extra golf balls I need when playing courses with lots of hazards. I know some players who could sneak a TON of beer onto the course in one of these. |
Terminator 5 Rise of the golfers. |

Tiger Woods’ secret golf practice routine is finally revealed! |
Swing thoughts on your shoe. Um, ok…. What messages would you put in this thing? |
|
This unit gives you the feel of losing your footing with one foot. Very useful. |
Exactly what I was looking for at the "Professional Golfers Association" merchandise show: Wooden model airplanes! |
|
Um… ok. |
|
A big rubber ball between your forearms in the golf swing. Yup, that’ll help. |
NO PICTURES! After snapping this shot a guy got in my face and put his hand over my camera and said "no pictures." I then infomed him that this unit was on display at a trade show and 120,000 people were going to see it… DUH! |
One of the buzzes from the recent PGA Show was the new interchangeable shafts and heads. Many sites are quoting the “first look at interchangeable shafts and heads” with articles about the Callaway i-Mix and Nickent Evolver 4DX.
While this is a valid buzz in golf, I’m going to have to poopoo sites claiming the “first look at interchangeable shafts” when referring to the Callaway and Nickent offerings.
Travel back to September 12, 2007
Back on September 12, 2007 I posted an article and video on interchangeable shafts and drivers from Versus Golf. And quite honestly, that driver had been sitting in my living room for a couple of months before I got around to it.
Quote from my interchangeable shaft/head post back in September
| “I’m amazed that a system like this hasn’t become some kind of ’standard’ in the golf industry. How cool would it be to carry 2-3 different driver shafts in your trunk and be able to use the one that’s fitting your current swing during that time?” |
And yes, today companies like Callaway and Nickent are offering packages which are exactly what I just described in the quote above, with 2-3 shafts. Am I good?
If only I was this good with the women…
Phil Mickleson is having respiratory problems and was told to rest by his doctors yesterday. It isn’t known if the problems are smoke related due to the California fires or if he picked up something in Asia last fall. He supposedly hasn’t been feeling 100% for several months.
Phil’s plan is to try and play in the Wednesday Pro-Am so he can play this week.
In the table below is a collection of the videos I shot at the 2008 PGA Show. Click on the titles or the video thumbnail to view each video.
I’ve reviewed the Frogger Brush Pro club brush before. The Frogger is hands down the best club brush on the market. In this video I check in with my buddy Jeremiah, president of Frogger and see what’s new.
UPDATE: The Frogger Brush Pro is one of three winners of the “2008 best of show” at the PGA Show. Congratulations!
My pal Travis at Golden Plane has made a really cool, portable swing analysis device which allows you to see your swing plane from the golf ball’s perspective. This system is much better than using vertical mirrors or video cameras as you can make adjustments to your plane while in the actual position you’d be addressing the ball. Using vertical mirrors you have to turn your head, which you don’t do in the golf swing.
Dan from Sundog Eyewear tells us about some new technology and features of the Sundog sunglasses.
My pal David shows a COOL automated driving range system. The system tees up balls, has adjustable tee heights, automated ball cleaning and distribution and more. Check it out:

When you hear someone shout "You da man," if he ain't shouting at Arnold Palmer, then it ain't da man.
