Cool New Products on The Savvy Golfer
We have finally found the time to add some of the new products from the 2006 PGA show. I would like to thank our suppliers for their patience because they were really good about getting their contracts back to us right away. We were so busy, that we were slow to get the products online. I think we have some really cool stuff:
  • BirdieBall - Limited flight golf balls (40 Yards) they are actually shaped like little cylinders rather than balls. They are by far the best practice ball I have ever used. Don't be fooled by the shape. Additionally, if you buy the BirdieBall launch pad, you can play in the street. It hit 50 degrees by my house over the weekend (I live in MA) and I was living the back yard driving range dream. This product is a must have for anyone who can't make it to the driving range as often as they like. For those in the city, you should get it to. They are durable, they won't damage cars (I hooked one and learned first hand) and you can hit from the portable launch pad on any surface.
  • Tri Bag - Cool to look at, cool to own, cool all over. Tri Bag is a very sharp looking golf stand bag with comfortable shoulder straps at first glance. However, it has a telescoping handle that pulls out from inside the bag where you store the clubs and a set of "Slick wheels" that snap on. This bag converts from a stand bag to a pull cart! It is also extremely light. The Savvy Golfer is currently the exclusive internet retailer in the US for this product. Everyone that I have shown this product to has ordered it. Okay, everyone who plays golf and saw it.
  • Marvel Super Hero Head Covers - I can sum this up in only a few words. IF YOU USE AN INCREDIBLE HULK HEAD COVER YOU WILL PLAY BETTER GOLF. Sorry that I had to state the obvious.
  • Golf Swing Ball: The former owner of Golfers Warehouse in New England brought me over to meet Benny Park, President of Swing Ball at the PGA Merchandise show. Not only is Benny a very nice guy but his product is fabulous. It positions your hands on a small medicine ball to help strengthen your swing but it also works as a great tool for warming up. I took a few swings before my round at the PGA show and then I worked with Swing Ball for a few minutes. After working with swing ball I felt much looser, my follow through was more natural and my legendary bad back felt much looser. This product does not guarantee you will hit more greens or out drive the pros like a lot of other training aids. However, I can promise it is good exercise, good stretching and good for healthy golf.
  • Gorilla Gold Grip Enhancer: I did not personally try Gorilla Gold but one of my business partners did. You rub it on your golf grips and it makes them very tacky. We had it in our bag of PGA show samples and he was nuts for the stuff. Everyone has the slippery grip problem due to rain, heat, or just bad grips. For $5 you can't go wrong carrying these in your bag. Besides, a product with the name "Gorilla" in the name has to be great.

We have a lot more products to add in the coming weeks and throughout the season. Visit the site www.savvygolfer.com to see the products and sign up for the mailing list to get the best deals and learn about new products as we launch them.
