Surely this is a gimmick? I remember seeing these on a golf show in the summer and I thought that these Q-Link necklaces couldn’t really do what they claim to…. Could they?

The idea behind this is that the energy developed and sustained by the body can be drained and interrupted by external signals form electromagnetic system (mobiles/laptops etc). The Q-Link with a system of copper coils is supposed to respond by producing its own note that the body responds to positively.

So basically the Q-Link is a tuning fork designed to tune into the body’s frequency and repel the negative energies all around allowing you to perform at a higher level in all things of life.

Now I’m sure I can be excused for thinking this was nothing more than a gimmick aimed at making a few quick bucks but today, to my surprise, I came across it at a whopping £80. Now this has me intrigued, as surely at this price there must be some truth in there somewhere and this has to be more than a gimmick, but at £80 I’m not sure if I’m going to be the one to find out!!

Could this be the game improvement tool for you? These Swing Reminders are made from a hardwood disk and act as a reminder whilst your out on the course to focus on the aspects of your game you need to improve.

The tokens double up as a ball marker and come in boxes of 25; the messages are varied to cover pretty much all aspects of the mental game on the course. Messages such as ‘forget the last shot’, ‘follow through’ ‘one shot at a time’ ‘3/4 swing’ are all designed to put you in the right mind set for your next shot.

I was lucky enough to be sent a sample of the Swing Reminders and I was very impressed. Although I’ve only used them once, I found that using them as a ball marker really helped me think about my next shot off the tee. Now I cant say that these will solve all my golfing glitches, but if nothing else they served as a reminder and an aid to develop a better thought process as I was approaching my next shot.

Overall I really like this idea, and I hope with some time I can transfer the thought provoking process they generate into an automatic routine for each shot I play.

A bargain then at only $15.99 and will ship to the UK.

Possibly the most stylish electric golf trolley I have seen, and the X3R is fully remote controlled. The remote allows the trolley to move backwards, forwards, faster and slower and from left to right all form up to 50 meters away too.

The trolley even comes complete with an emergency brake and four different cruise control speeds. The trolley collapses and opens on one effortless action and looks amazing both folded down and fully opened.

This trolley hasn’t won trolley of the year for 3 years running for no reason! But then again it is a tad expensive at a snip under £1,000, but it will certainly put the PowerKaddys about the course to shame!

Ever wondered how fast your swing is? I know I certainly have and im sure many other golfers out there do too. The pros have long recognized the value of monitoring their swing speed and golf ball speed, which they use to determine the type of clubs they use and the suitability of different shafts.

Swing speed is not dependant on how hard your swinging but the speed at impact which your club face is travelling through the back of the golf ball. This is the true measure of how solid you are really hitting the ball.

The Pro’s are constantly tweaking their equipment; in particular their shafts are optimized to suit their swings. And now if you have a spare £70 you can finally use your swing speed to custom fit your next set of irons or driver!

This just had to be written about! Unfortunately I can only find it in the US but I expect they would ship to the UK. This is the Wow putter, a putter which comes fully loaded with everything you need!
1. a tape measure
2. a compass
3. a horn!
4. a level
and finally…
a rabbits foot!

Obviously only for a bit of fun but would make a great present!

This is the first remote controlled golf ball I have seen, I have seen the weighted balls which roll off at all angles but this ball is directonally controlled by a remote.

The R/C incred-a-ball works best on flat smooth surfaces such as greens and fairways and will be a sure laugh for those golfers who are not taking the game too seriously! At £12.95 is not too expensive and could be good for a crack if nothing else!

This is the Sky Caddie SG1, another piece of equipment which by the use of GPS can very accurately indicate the distance from the green you are standing. The device has been designed to be lightweight and compact and has derrived from the most up to date sattelite navigational technology.

At £129.99 form 118golf.co.uk it is expensive and to be honest probably only going to be in demand form either the very lazy, very stupid or the very rich golfer! But still with this sort of technology already in use on some golf buggy’s then who knows, maybe this will become the next big thing!!

The Check-GO, an ingenious gimmick or the answer to so many unexplained occurrences! The idea is that no golf ball is manufactured perfectly round; they are naturally, even without being hit lopsided! Believe that or not! The Check-GO therefore is the answer by realigning the ball by spinning it at an impressive 10,000 revolutions per minute evenly distributing the weight and shape of the ball itself.

This may well be a fantastic product but it may also be a fantastic gimmick! I’m not too sure but if the technology behind this is true then it sounds like a great piece of kit! However at only £24.95 I cant see the harm in giving it a go and see if it can save me those extra strokes!

I stumbled across this, the Ballfinder Scout; apparently a must-have golf accessory that will actually find your lost balls in the rough for you!! It is a hand-held electronic unit that finds your golf ball in the rough, even if as few as three dimples are showing, then displays a picture on screen and directs you to the ball.

The Ballfinder Scout actually displays a visual image of your ball and within a range of up to 35 feet will direct you straight to it! The Ballfinder Scout has even been endorsed by the ‘one and only’ Nick Faldo, who is quoted saying -

“I will only have my name associated with something I believe in. And I believe in the SCOUT™. At every level in golf, everybody loses golf balls. With the SCOUT™ you are going to find your ball quicker. You can play faster, have more fun and shoot better scores. It’s rare when something comes along that could improve the entire game of golf. Let SCOUT™ improve your golf experience.”

I found this on onlinegolf.co.uk at a pricey £129.99, a little expensive I thought but I can’t help to be intrigued if it will actually work!
