Finally, I’m served an ad on Instagram that makes sense to me! Is this the future of putting practice?

There is so much technology out there and the home simulator market is getting more and more affordable so why not invest some of that technology into putting?

I’ve seen massive improvements in my swing using my simulator during the winter but other than a putting mat, I can’t really work on the most important part of the game during this time of year. Puttrco is looking to change that.

This machine/ simulator kind of does it all from what I can see. It analyzes every putt using AI-powered insights to measure cause and effect. Each putt produces a score based on pace and entry.

The built in video function uses AI video analysis capturing your setup and stroke to show eye line over the ball and shoulder line over the toe. It’s basically like having a putting coach in the comfort of your own home. Plus the built in games make it fun to practice.

The mat claims to roll at an 11 on the stimp (which means its fast and true) giving users a true feel for their stoke with various distances. As far as storage and space goes, the box size is 2′ x 1′ x 1.5 feet for easy storage.

The entire system runs off an app you can download to your tablet or smartphone. With features like this it’s easy to see why they are starting to make a name for themselves and generate a buzz.

The Puttrco system will run a user $599 and includes the following;

Included:

– PUTTR unit

– 50+ games & drills

– Putting surface

– 4-piece magnetic track

– Power cord

– Storage bag

It doesn’t include the tablet, golf balls or putter. You need to supply that on your own. If you’re unsure if it’s for you and you are unsatisfied they offer a 30 return policy.

So is it worth it and does it make a difference in your game? I can’t say personally but I would think it has to be. Perfect practice makes perfect and with all these features Puttrco is making it as easy as possible to get the most out of any golfers game.

With the ability to fold completely flat, the Big Max Blade IP is certainly the most compact golf push cart on the market, but how well does it perform on the golf course?

In collaboration with ambassador Erik van Rooyen, ECCO—a golf footwear innovator—introduces a new signature edition BIOM H4 for the AW23 collection. Paying homage to his individual style, the new iteration of the shoe includes a partial redesign and showcases van Rooyen’s renowned passion for fashion and music.

ECCO GOLF and van Rooyen launched the South African’s first signature edition model last summer, and the new design is equally bold and eye-catching with nods to the style icon’s love for guitar, his iconic jogger pants, and his enviable mustache.

“I’m very excited to once again join forces with ECCO GOLF to create another signature edition style,” commented van Rooyen. “The previous version that we created together was super cool, and I received plenty of compliments out on tour. I didn’t think it would be possible to top those, but with this new model I think we’ve done exactly that.

“Anyone that’s seen me play knows that I really enjoy being different and innovative on the golf course, and it’s awesome that the ECCO GOLF team allows me to reflect that in my signature edition styles. To be able to create my own shoe is a real honor, and BIOM H4 is such a great model to do it with.”

The signature edition BIOM H4 is available to U.S. customers at us.ecco.com or at their local ECCO retailer on Friday, September 1.

Available in men’s sizes 39-48, the shoe features a reworked upper, notably around the toe area, to produce a sleeker, slimmer look, while the tongue has been completely redesigned to produce a more ergonomic shape that fits more comfortably to the foot.

BIOM H4 continues to feature the BIOM 2.0 last which offers a modern, updated look and feel combined with BIOM NATURAL MOTION Technology that enables the foot to move naturally, close to the ground, and forms like a second skin around the foot.

Powered by state-of-the-art motion technologies, the pioneering ECCO MTN GRIP outsole includes three sections to provide the ideal blend of traction, stability, and rotational support, while ECCO FLUIDFORM Direct Comfort Technology ensures a finely tuned balance of cushioning and rebound to deliver dynamic comfort.

Wrapping around the foot from the outsole to the midsole, the shoe features X-TENSA technology, which connects the T.PU element on the side of BIOM H4 with the lace system to enhance lateral stability while adding to the contemporary, premium design.

The shoe’s uppers are crafted from premium, durable, and thin ECCO Performance Leather, made in ECCO’s own tanneries, providing natural protection from wind and water. This is enhanced with 100% waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX technology that keeps feet dry and comfortable in all conditions.ECCO GOLF shoes are worn in competition around the world by Henrik Stenson, Thomas Bjørn, Erik van Rooyen, Doc Redman, Lydia Ko, Nanna Koerstz Madsen, Niklas Nørgaard Møller, Freddy Schott, and Caroline Masson, among others.

For the avid golfer, there is nothing more stressful than knowing that, during a family vacation, you might not get to hit the links for a few days. Luckily for me, Titleist has a great option for the more committed player that allows you to bring a few clubs and balls without taking up too much space.

This year, Titleist launched the Premium Carry Bag, refining its past offerings of what many would refer to as a “Sunday Bag” and bringing something completely new to the table. In the past, Titleist has offered something similar, and they still do. But this year, they added a few new features to their Carry Bag, thus making it a perfect suitor for the “Premium” label.

It’s a great-looking, small, lightweight bag. Initially, I had planned to use it for chipping at the range when I didn’t want to carry my StaDry 4. I knew with my upcoming trip to the beach, it would be perfect to give it its first go around.

Titleist sent me this bag in late June, just in time for me to pack a few wedges, my Scotty Cameron, a couple of irons, my Driver and 3 Wood, and of course, some balls for vacation. I am blessed to have plenty of space on the beach as I drive on the shore on Assateague Island with my family each year. There are 145 cars spread out over 13 miles of beach, so there’s plenty of room to play.

I went for over a week this year with my girlfriend and family, so our car was full. Even with a lot of luggage and other additions that are necessary on the beach, this bag fits well in the car and doesn’t take up much space.

I got it down to the beach and unloaded it, and my first order of business was to take it to the beach. I chipped balls in the sand to work on bunker play for a while, I made a putt-putt course on sand that had been flattened and hardened by the high tide, and I even hit a couple balls into the Atlantic Ocean.

Titleist lists the features of the Premium Carry Bag on its website:

The lightweight and durable design was great, and I really didn’t mind carrying it around from location to location on the beach, despite the sand. It was easy to maneuver and was maybe 10-12 pounds with everything in it.

At just 2.8 pounds on its own, it’s obviously not a strenuous task to carry around this bag. It still features all of the quality and craftsmanship of other bags, and it really did a great job of handling the heat, the seawater (which is destructive) and just being lugged around and thrown on top of a bunch of other things I had.

This bag is for much more than just a trip to the beach. There’s a Par 3 course by the beach house where I stay, and there are no golf carts. This would be an ideal solution for that.

However, as previously mentioned, this would also be an ideal choice for people who are looking for a way to carry just a few clubs to the range or to a chipping area. There’s no sense in hauling your entire set of irons if your entire session will be spent working on short game. This is really a great option for all of those things.

Available on Titleist.com for just $155, the Premium Carry Bag is truly a great option for those who want to travel light, carry fewer clubs, or just have something slightly more manageable. While I brought nine clubs with me, I am sure you could fit most of your bag in here, especially if you are playing with blades.
