Did you know Zero Friction makes golf products other than their Zero Friction golf tees?

Below is one of the Zero Friction Supertubes. This is a very cool package with three golf balls, a hand full of matching Zero Friction tees, and a glove.

Another golf ball offering from Zero Friction is the Spectra golf ball. It is a two-piece distance ball which comes in six cool colors. They make a 4-pack which also includes a ZFTMAXX tee. Below is the matte white version, which has a very interesting look.

These fun golf packs make some interesting golf gift ideas for Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, birthdays, Christmas and so on.

GolfJet Monthly Subscription Review

Monthly subscriptions are the rage. Why get a bunch of overpriced razors when you could get something much more fun and useful, like golf stuff? There are a lot of monthly golf subs, but if you want to really class it up, check out the GolfJet JetPack.

Golf Jet – Jet Pack

The Packages

GolfJet offers several different monthly packages ranging from $37.95/month. Included in each pack are GolfJet golf balls, a glove, tees, ball marker, and access to the GolfJet Connect mobile app.

Depending on the package level, the JetPack will include 9 or 12 balls. See more on the ball types below.

JET Series Golf Balls

There are two models of GolfJet golf balls, the Jet3 and Jet4. Each model features a urethane cover, the secret sauce to “Tour” performance. Urethane is what makes the ball perform the best around the greens. The Jet3 golf ball is a 3-layer ball and you guessed it, the Jet4 is a 4-layer ball.

I played both the Jet3 and Jet4 balls for several weeks. Both balls spin incredibly around the greens. One would have a hard time finding a difference between these and big named Tour balls like the ProV1, TaylorMade TP, or Callaway Chrome Soft.

I found the Jet4 to be a little harder feeling off the driver than the Jet3. I personally prefer the softer, more mushy feel. That said, I scored well with both balls.

Glove

The cabretta leather golf glove is luxurious. I’m not much of a glove wearer, but I gave the glove some attention and found the comfort and performance to be great.

Tees

The GolfJet tees are interesting. There’s a gold rubber crowned section on the top which helps protect the golf club. The body of the tee is shaped more like a blade or knife. It’s not round. The tip of the tee, a blade shape, is great for groove cleaning and cleat cleaning.

App

The GolfJet app is exclusive to GolfJet subscribers.

The app features GPS rangefinder capabilities, score tracking, statistics, and sharing (smack talking) with your golf buddies.

Final Thoughts

The cost of a box of Titleist ProV1’s or other high-end tour balls can run in the $50’s, $60’s and up. For less than the cost of a dozen of those balls, golfers can enjoy a dozen premium urethane covered balls which perform just as well, and delivered right to their door. Add to that the tees, plush leather glove, ball marker and mobile app and that’s a winning ticket.

Think Inside the Box – Monthly Golf Goodie Subscription from iGC Box

Dollar Shave Club, Harry’s, Birch Box, Trunk Club, Lootcrate… the monthly goodie box for men concept is pretty hot right now. But why get overpriced razors every month when you could get something really fun and useful, like golf balls and accessories? That’s where iGC Box comes in. Let’s take a look inside the box.

iGC Box

Inside my iGC Box are some nice golf goodies. See below.

First and foremost is a half dozen high quality, urethane covered 3-piece balls. That’s the same recipe one would find in “Tour” quality golf balls which can run $50-$60/dozen. I have NO desire to get a monthly subscription if the balls inside are “RockFlite” quality. The balls come inside a useful accessory bag which is great for the other small golf items one loses inside a big golf bag.

Along with the balls my box had some nice, long plastic tees. I tee it high, so these are perfect for me. Plus they’re much more durable than wood tees.

A nice full leather golf glove comes in iGC box, as well as an iGC ball marker. Can’t have too many ball markers. Most golfers have about 500 in their bags…

Last but certainly not least is a terrific little club brush, which is not even the size of a box of Tic-Tacs. There are three retractable parts: a metal brush, a plastic brush, and a pointed plastic groove cleaner. This accessory is worth a month’s subscription price on its own. It’s so small it can live in the golfer’s pocket, ready for use whenever a quick club or groove cleaning is needed. Clubs work their best when they’re clean and the grooves are not full of debris.

Subscriptions

There are two subscriptions available from iGC, year-round and seasonal. Both subs are $19 and delivered monthly. The yearly obviously comes every month through the year, while the seasonal is monthly between the months March through September.

Semi-Final Thoughts

I say “semi-final thoughts” because I’ll be covering another iGC box soon, which offers some other goodies, to give you the idea of the variance.

Think inside the box. iGC Box. With an iGC box landing on your doorstep every month you’ll have a solid pipeline of the most used and highest wear-and-tear items in your golf arsenal, balls, gloves and tees.
