Accessory Review: The Golfing Caddy

The Golfing Caddy®

Occasionally, I have a chance to try out and review cool golf accessories.  The Golfing Caddy® definitely fits into the “cool” category.  I can’t put it any better than the folks over at BVT Products.  They describe The Golfing Caddy as follows: “The Golfing Caddy® is a multi-compartment tote and beverage holder that easily clips to the golf bag and has a handy place for everything a golfer would need to carry.” The Golfing Caddy was designed for convenience.  It gives a player an easy way to store the things that need to be taken on the course or to the range, but that don’t normally stay with the golf bag.  Keys, wallet, cell phone, and water bottle.  There’s room for it all. Let’s take a look at what The Golfing Caddy offers. Features The Golfing Caddy boasts the following features (the letters correspond to the image to the right): A – Room for up to a 24 oz water bottle with insulated neoprene sleeve, to help keep the bottle cool. B – Deep front

Accessory Review: FiZ Golf

Most golfers know the importance of keeping club faces and grooves clean.  And just about all of those who know the importance also know how difficult it is to do so.  Maybe tedious is a better word.  Wet towels, wire brushes, dry towels, water.  Scrubbing and scrubbing. Well, FiZ Golf believe they have the answer. FiZ Golf is a complete club, ball, and grip cleaning solution.  It consists of a small can of patented foaming (and fizzing, of course) solution that helps lift dirt and grass out of grooves, ball dimples, and off of club faces.  The bottom of the small canister is a set of plastic bristles that you use to give the club or ball a little light scrubbing to get to the hard to reach grime. All that is required to get your club face clean is a quick spray, a few light scrubs with the bristles, and a quick wipe with your golf towel. One FiZ Golf canister lasts up to about 350 sprays, or about 100 holes.  FiZ Golf retails

Putter Review: Odyssey White Hot XG #7

I’m not one to change putters frequently, but sometimes the mood hits and I start thinking about it.  A few months back, I was perusing the putter selection at my local Golfsmith store. I’m a huge fan of Odyssey putters, so naturally I was leaning toward those.  After trying several different models, I found myself drawn to the White Hot XG #7.  It was no impulse purchase, though.  I stewed over the decision for several weeks, trying to decide whether I was ready to let my White Hot #1 fade into retirement. As you certainly guessed, I bought the putter, and am glad that I did. Let’s have a look at the official line about the XG line from Odyssey Golf: The White Hot XG is the next generation of White Hot Technology. Inspired by proven, high-performance, multi-layer golf ball technology, the White Hot XG is Odyssey’s latest advancement that utilizes a multi-layer insert for phenomenal performance on the green. It combines two materials with different properties to take the level of feedback, feel and

Review: Slendertone EverVive

Slendertone EnerVive

Do you ever wish there was something you could do to help those weary muscles after a long day of golf?  Well, the folks at Slendertone think they have an answer with the EnerVive Muscle Conditioner. EnerVive uses electronic muscle stimulation (EMS) to soothe and rejuvenate tired muscles.  If you’ve ever done physical therapy for an injury or after surgery then you might have used similar products.  EMS works by stimulating muscles using electrical current to create a massage-like effect. The unit contains six different recovery and stimulation programs and includes two medical-grade gel adhesive that can be attached to any of seven different muscle groups. The Good The unit provides a wide range of intensity settings.  A single 9-volt battery provides all the muscle stimulation I could ask for.  In fact, I was never able to find out what the max setting is, because I couldn’t tolerate much beyond a certain point.  Well, I could have tolerated it if I really wanted to know, but the point of the thing is to feel better,
