Slope technology takes into account any increase or decrease in elevation to the target (in degrees) when providing the distance to the target (slope adjusted distance = distance + height). Bushnell Golf prides itself on providing easy to use distance measuring devices for golfers of all skill levels, and the Phantom 2 delivers the simplicity and convenience golfers are looking for in a measuring device,” said William Flood, Global Product Manager at Bushnell Golf. Many golf instructors use various techniques to keep their student’s head in the proper alignment, but one of the more simple and useful tools we have found is the EyeLoc Quiet Golf Glasses—sunglasses with adjustable eye slits over each lens, designed as a training aid to keep players eyes locked on the ball. Of the three similar products currently available, the GolfStickPro, (One club only), the SlingShot, and the Super Speed Golf training System (3 separate clubs), all with the same intensions of improving your tempo, increasing your ball speed, timing, flexibility and speed training, our group deemed the Slingshot to produce the best results.

The third model available, the Callaway Epic MAX LS, where Callaway engineered all of that speed into a low spinning, ultra-high MOI offering, is ideally suited for mid-to-low handicap players. Radius of Gyration — the distance from the club’s center of gravity to each weight or technology location, Cobra’s brain trust of engineers discovered that they could create a blend of fast ball speed, low spin, and forgiveness by increasing the Radius of Gyration and the distance between the front and back weights. The RADSPEED driver frame features 28g positioned as forward as possible (16g of fixed weight and a 12g adjustable weight) to deliver ultra-low spin and fastest ball speeds. An additional 10 grams of weight positioned in the back (8g of fixed weight and a 2g adjustable weight) creates the perfect balance of front and back weighting for RAD speed & forgiveness.

While the PGA and LPGA give their graduates general golf skills such as how to run a golf organization, organizing golf tournaments, how to run a golf shop, maintenance and organization of parties, the PGTAA is unique because it offers 100% instruction on learning how to teach golf and making an excellent living in the golf teaching profession. The PGTAA is the original originator of the Home Study course and the optional Onsite course for PGTAA graduates. The Onsite course offers those PGTAA graduates an opportunity to receive face-to-face instruction by seasoned PGTAA and PGA professionals, to the use of cutting edge technology such as Trackman and Flightscope, and are able to cement their teaching skills. The PGTAA offers simply one intensive, no-time limit to complete course, and upon successful completion thereof, the certification as a Class “A” PGTAA Master Teaching Professional is awarded.

Callaway’s proprietary new JAWS groove is designed to a 37º wall angle, an extreme difference vs. the 5º used in the MD4 series which elevates the groove-edge sharpness to a new level for maximum grip and spin from all types of lies. But the overwhelming response to GolfLogix’s Green Books-which combine cutting-edge green contour data with detailed 3-D imagery-has surpassed even the company’s expectations. Green Books mimic the GolfLogix app’s Approach Mode, allowing golfers to strategically target positions on the green for their best opportunity of draining their putt. From the moment you book an appointment, you’re immersed in this Tour-level experience that allows you a peek into a professional golfer’s life, with every club imaginable at your fingertips.” Club Champion’s unique approach is brand agnostic; they focus on the golfer and not the manufacturer.
