This is an interesting golf gadget. It's a putting trainer. The Greenberry uses physics and "advance computing technology" to measure your speed and putting distance.

The way it works is: you put this down on whatever you are putting on (your carpet, or outside on an actual green) and ...

I've been reading this magazine for the last twenty years. (I'm a slow reader.) Golf Digest is the quintessential golf magazine. There are others, but this is the best one.

One reason that makes them the best is they get all the top tour pros and teachers to ...

I've putted with something very similar to this for years. It was in one of my best friend's and coworker's office for at least 15 years. His name was Chris Brown. He kept two putters and three or four golf balls lying next to it. When any ...

Grab your shag bag and throw it in the back of your Jag! Every serious golfer has a shag bag in the trunk of their car. When you have a shagger full of balls, you don't need anything more than one golf club and an open field.

Some of the best ...

I've used this training aid, and I like it. It's a golf club with a fan on the end of it. The fan adds resistance when you swing the club to promote better form and strengthen golf muscles.

Probably the biggest swing flaw most of us amateurs struggle with is manipulating the ...

Here's a great gift idea for the golf addict in your life. The Medicus, for my money, is the best swing trainer on the market. This set comes with two clubs, the 5 Iron and the Driver. The 5 Iron is a little easier to swing than ...

Look at this crazy looking club with the hinge on the shaft. It's one of those Medicus swing trainers and yes, it works.

It takes a little patience because the first time you swing this thing you are going to look pretty foolish. The club shaft has a dual hinge ...

Here's the junior version of one of the best tools invented for improving your golf swing. I would recommend this Medicus Junior's Dual Hinged 5 Iron for your child if he already has achieved a certain amount of success with his golf swing. In other words, this club ...

This is a great tool to help improve your golf swing. The Medicus Junior's Dual Hinged Jumbo Driver has a dual hinge that will break unless you swing the club back smoothly and continue to have consistent tempo throughout your follow through.

Although this particular Medicus is designed for juniors, it ...

"Teed Up Teed me off!" was one of the quotes I've seen about this product.

Uh oh.

It looks like such a great idea, too. The Teed Up Portable Driving Range is a simple ball holder that can handle 45 golf balls, and a mechanism that automatically places the ball on the tee... ...

Here is another weighted golf club that is designed to help us with our swing plane. It also has one of those sculpted-out grips that will teach you the proper hand position. The concept of this club is the added weight; you are more prone to use ...

"Half of this game is 90% mental." I believe Yogi Berra said something similar to this. He was talking about baseball at the time, but it applies to golf just the same.

Bob Rotella, writer of "Golf Is Not A Game Of Perfect," can help you build a ...

When I set up my golf net in the backyard last summer, I ran into a glitch. The grass in my yard wasn't what I would call "ideal" for hitting a golf ball. I quickly remedied this by grabbing the front door mat. This didn't quite work out either, ...

"Practice doesn't make perfect; perfect practice makes perfect." I'm not really sure who said this, but they were on to something. Take it from me. I'm the guy who rushes out to the driving range, loosens up a little bit, and then pulls out my driver and ...

I'm not big on many of these swing trainers. Most of them aren't worth the box they come in, but this one caught my eye. My buddy Nick and I have been working for some time on trying to correct "the flip." (No, I'm not talking about the high ...

...A hush falls over the crowd. Robert Ludwig has this putt to win the US Open. The young unknown phenom who was the 942nd alternate to get into this prestigious golf tournament only needs to make a three-foot putt to beat Tiger Woods….

This is the part where ...

Can someone tell me how this helps?

No, I'm serious. I actually can't figure out this training aid. It's an Izzo Swing Mirror, about 13" in size, and convex so that you can see yourself well in it. Ok, maybe you can check your grip and club face and even ...

The marketing for this Kallassy Swing Magic Driver starts by quoting "legendary" golf instructor Bob Toski who said, "With the golf swing, you have to learn to feel the force, not force the feel."

That reminds me of a quote by "legendary" golf writer Robert Ludwig who once said, "With stupid cliché ...

How about a little target practice in the back yard? No, put away your bow and arrow. Instead, grab your wedge and a few dozen range balls and let's go.

The SKLZ Fly Trap Chipping Net has five different targets for you to hone your accuracy and distance control. It ...

I usually don't really listen too much to guys with nicknames like "The Beast." Well, that is, unless I am alone in a dark alley with him. In that case, I'm all ears.

Here's another case where I might have to tune in. The "Beast" who I'm referring to here ...

If you drive for show and putt for dough, what do you chip for? Maybe we chip to go low. Certainly getting up and down is the key to keep the scorecard free from those ugly blemishes.

Here's a fun product brought to you from Callaway. It's a chipping net that ...

How do you feel about your short game? You know, when the ball is 50 yards out or so, and it's now up to you to find that simple little way to pop that ball either up and over the bunker to the green, or to run it up ...

The legendary golf teacher Harvey Penick (author of The Little Red Book) used to say, "The best way to build golf muscles is to swing a heavy stick." The makers of the Momentus Swing Trainer Iron have taken this idea to the next level.

The Momentus Swing Trainer Iron has extra weight ...

Here's another golf gimmick. This one is a grip that is going to "help the golfer to fully release the club and attain maximum club head speed." The only maximum you're going to reach here is on your Visa card.

Okay, let's take a look at the design. ...

Here's a big ol' net! Wow, are we going fishing? This 20 X 25 Fish Net is designed for a golf backstop, softball, lacrosse, volleyball, etc. I suppose you could use it for soccer as well, and perhaps wrangling in your kids when it's time for dinner.

This ...

Putting is the key to being successful at golf, and believe it or not there aren't necessarily any fundamentals when it comes to golf. Well, that's not entirely true. It's important to set up with your eyes directly over the ball (or slightly outside) and most people would say it's important to ...

Why is Tiger Woods a better golfer than you? He's a better golfer than you because he can twist himself up into a pretzel without breaking several vertebras in his back. (Well that and the fact that he's had a club in his hand since he could walk, and his ...

Dear Santa, remember me? I'm not one to criticize, but you haven't really brought me anything cool since I was 10, and unfortunately I must admit that I lost my Red Ryder BB gun some time ago. I would be happy to call it even if this ...

Have you ever heard that you should hold a golf club like a baby bird -- firm enough to keep the bird from flying away, but light enough to not hurt the bird? This came from The Little Red Book, by Harvey Penick. If you haven't read this ...

If you haven't swung a Medicus club, boy are you in for a treat. Well, by "treat" I mean if you are a masochist, and you like shanking balls across the driving range.

Seriously though, this is a really great training tool. I don't really like most of ...

This is an interesting-looking product. I noticed this device last week when I was hanging out at Leonard's Golf. I picked it up and started fanning my buddy Nick with it. (He seemed hot.) That's when Leonard came over and told me to quit screwing around and ...

To me, putting has always been an instinctive, almost spiritual part of the game of golf. The putter currently in my bag belonged to my grandpa, and probably didn't cost him a whole lot of money even back when he started to golf. When I putt, I focus more ...

"Doris, hold all my calls -- I'm in a very important meeting and can't be bothered."

Ok. Here we go. Easy. Don't let this one get away from you. This is the most important moment. The impact of this meeting is crucial. Breathe. Take it ...

I just got back from the local golf training center. It's a terrific place where you can videotape your swing from two different camera angles. Then you can split the screen and choose from a number of PGA pros in the data base to compare on the ...

I don't care where I am -- my putter is never too far out of reach. I stroke putts everywhere. I can read the break in a shag carpet at the Motel 6 like it's the 18th at Augusta (and I've won the Masters many times sinking the ...

This wonderful game of golf we play is all about putting. You don't believe me? Go watch the 2009 British Open again. Good old Tom Watson held our attention for 4 days attempting to become the oldest guy at age 59 to win a major, and in the end ...

Have you ever played one of those courses that are poorly marked? You can't find a yardage on a sprinkler head, none of the cart paths are marked, and there are no "barber poles" to indicate 150 yards. I get so frustrated wandering around the fairway like I ...

Dear Santa,
I've been really good -- I promise I have! I fixed all my ball marks on the greens. I poured sand in my divots. I rarely even curse when I miss a three foot putt. (Okay, you know that is a lie, but nobody's perfect!)
Please, please would you ...

Go to your local club and get a lesson from a PGA pro. I guarantee you he or she is going to work the majority of your time on your stance and alignment -- because half the battle, my friends, is getting lined up square to the target line. ...

Practice makes... well it makes more practice for us, doesn't it? Golf is a lifetime game, and for many of us, practice doesn't make perfect. But it helps -- and this little item is supposed to help us even more. The Wilson Multi-Sport Cage Net with Ball return ...

For the price, this is a nice little chipping net.

Honestly, only a short overview is needed for this handy little practice item. Granted, it is not as big as some of the backyard practice tents, but for a quick practice round you can almost take this thing out of ...

It's summertime. Sixteen hours of daylight, and most of it is spent in our backyards barbequing and hanging out with friends. How about setting up a driving range back there?

This Izzo Big Daddy Insta-Net sets up in minutes and is a lot fun for you and your friends. ...

Ok I'm going to be honest here.

I have always disliked learning and teaching aids. The market is full of the next gimmick that is supposed to either "save us strokes" or "add yards" or even "instill confidence."

And you know what? I've honestly stayed away from all of them. ...

E = MC^2... with E equaling Every dollar I've spent on stuff to improve my golf game, M being My lack of improvement, and C squared equaling I Certainly Can't afford another expensive gimmicky golf gadget.

The Medicus eDatacoach is another one of these golf gadgets that is going to store your rounds ...

You've seen the infomercials on the golf channel. Up late, can't sleep, so you flip on the boob tube and there's Mark O'Meara swinging that Medicus golf club. You are thinking, "Hmmm I wonder if that thing works?" and "I betcha I could swing that club without the hinge breaking!" ...

If you're anything like most golfers, you've gone through your share of lessons, DVDs, and books already trying to improve your game. You've also likely been told dozens (if not hundreds) of different tips and tricks to eliminate mistakes and have a hard time focusing on all of them.

The thing ...

There are thousands of tools out there to help you perfect your golf swing, so many that it's difficult to know which you need to use, let alone whether or not they even make a difference. The Assist Weighted Golf Swing Trainer is an excellent choice for golfers of all skill levels, ...
