3. Kramski Putters -They won the GolfTestUSA.com award for best putter….just a little expensive…but a sweet looking putter nonetheless.

8. The Impact Ball – 90% of golfers handicap 10 and above tend to have one of the following faults in their swing. Common symptoms are SCOOPING, TOPPED SHOTS, FAT, SLICE, FLYING ELBOWS, CHICKEN WING, DISCONNECTED, NO DISTANCE. The IMPACT BALL is designed to correct all of these problems.

12. IQuest Golf – You play iQuest Golf™ on the course while you are golfing! Here’s the twist – The cards reveal which clubs you are allowed to use on the hole you’re playing. You think the guys behind you would not be htting through you if they see you hitting a 7-iron off the tee on a Par 5.
13. 4 More Yards Tee – “4 Yards More” Golf Tee is the only tee scientifically proven to give you “4 Yards More” off the tee compared to wooden tees. 100% Guaranteed or your money back.
