The Golf Mat by Vijay Singh

The traditional golf mat we use in the driving range often times cannot really fully simulate the feel of hitting the green. These golf mats usually gives us a painful experience when our swing goes wrong as these mats have hard surfaces and obvious imitated grass.

The Golf Mat by Vijay Singh uses a revolutionary Virtual Turf technology that utilizes military-grade spring as the ones used in the vibration dampening system of F-15 fighters under the putting mat. This results in the putting mat bouncing at the golfer’s swing. It not only results in softer feel of hitting the ball but also in the avoidance of “flexes” in the golfer’s swing resulting in longer distances.

With the golf mat, the golfer needs no swing adjustment thereby resulting in a more consistent swing as this mat really feels like the real thing.

Too bad that it seems this golf mat still has to produce “leftie” versions. So, for golfers out there like me who are lefties, we’ll stick with our current golf mats. The Golf Mat by Vijay Singh retails at around $299.00 with a 30 day money-back guarantee.

Oakley Enduring Edge Sunglasses

Oakley Enduring EDGE lenses features an interchangeable lens design that lets athletes optimize vision in any environment. Whenever the sun fades or flares just switch the lens and keep up with Mother Nature’s changing moods. Numerous lens options are available.

The issue with the glare on the green while playing is now resolved with these pair of sunglasses. Not only it looks fashionable, but it also fits perfectly on any type of individual.

High Definition Optics® (HDO®) take advantage of patented innovations, like XYZ Optics® for unbeatable clarity at all angles of vision — even at the sides of lens contours that open peripheral view and optimize protection against sun, wind and side impact. HDO® lenses surpass all ANSI Z87.1 standards for clarity, refraction and prism.

The Oakley Hydrophobic™ is a permanent lens coating that prevents water from leaving streaks and sheens, which can compromise vision. Whether it’s rain, sweat or splashing runoff, H2O can’t get a foothold. And that’s just half the story.

Skin oils, fingerprints and lotions are easily wiped away without leaving a residue, eliminating the haze that makes ordinary lenses a nightmare to keep clean. Oakley even made the coating anti-static so it won’t attract dust and dirt like ordinary lenses.

Callaway Tour ix Golf Balls

Callaway recently made the longest tour golf ball they have ever made.

The technologically advanced Tour ix Golf Ball features 4-piece inertia technology and dual core construction designed to optimize distance. The ball’s high-density outer core moves weight away from the centre of the ball for increased moment of inertia (MOI) resulting in reduced driver spin for increased distance and accuracy. The ball’s dual core construction allows for great distance off the tee while still offering spin around the green.

The lower compression inner core provides low spin off the driver for great distance while the higher compression outer core provides high chip-shot spin around the green. For consistency, the Reaction Injection Molding (RIM) was introduced too. It utilizes a Reaction Injection Moulding process called RIM, a seamless cover with uniform thickness to provide the ball with uniform texture.

Callaway’s innovative Thermoset Urethane Cover provides superior feel and short-game spin for excellent greenside control, thus, putting is made easier to the player.

The Callaway pioneered yet refined HEX Aerodynamics with Sub-HEX Design is incorporated into the ball for the very first time. It incorporates the hexagon dimples into the bigger hexagon dimples of the golf ball thus creating more stable ball flight.
