This week we have some products that could revolutionise the way in which we putt, a new iteration of the sport aimed at increasing golf’s audience and an application that aims to improve all facets of your swing.
If there is a gadget or piece of tech out that you would like us to review, then please get in touch! We’ll try are hardest to get the lowdown on the product and give you an honest and impartial review!
Products featured this week:
FlingGolf
The sport of FlingGolf is being pushed as what ‘snowboarding is to skiing’. Played on the same courses as the regular sport of golf, players do not strike the ball in a traditional manner, but instead ‘fling’ the ball with the FlingStick in a manner similar to lacrosse or jai alai.
The caveat with FlingGolf is the low cost barrier of entry. Players are not required to have a great deal of equipment. A FlingStick is the only required piece of equipment to play the sport.
Played almost exactly the same as a regular game of golf, this sport is growing and even has backing of a former National Golf Course Owners Association President.
