Divot Board
There’s nothing like hitting a crispy wedge shot with some wicked backspin, landing it within just a few feet of the hole.
Thing is, it’s not always easy to master such a shot — and there aren’t too many places an amateur can practice doing so.
Until now, thanks to the Divot Board.
Take this portable training aid with you anywhere you go, simply lay it on the ground, drop your ball on the dedicated area of the board and practice using the bounce of the club for top-notch precision.
With instant feedback, you’ll be able to get the necessary touch and feel for better shots around the green.
Rukket Sports SPDR Portable Driving Range
If you’re like me, there’s a good chance you’ve carved out sometime in the afternoon to head to the driving range to hit balls, only to show up and realize there isn’t a single bay open to practice from.
It’s brutal.
But with the Rukket Sports SPDR Portable Driving Range, you can bring the practice range to your own backyard or garage.
Thanks to the 10 feet x 7 feet dimension, even players who traditionally slice or snap hook can pound balls into the net, providing a great trainer to help with your golf swing — even during the offseason.
Both the net and frame are commercial grade, so it’s heavy-duty enough to hit real golf balls over and over without having fear of wear and tear.
Rukket Sports Pathfinder Impact Mat
The quickest way towards hitting better shots? Making sure the clubface is square at impact, allowing you to hit the sweet spot of the club.
Unfortunately, squaring the clubface isn’t something that comes easily for many amateur players — which is why the Rukket Sports Pathfinder Impact Mat™ is here to serve as your personalized swing coach.
Either use all four pylons to correct your club path, or remove the pylons to work on hitting either draws or fades. However you’re looking to improve your swing, the Pathfinder Impact Mat™ is here to help.
So whether you’re looking to improve your center-face contact, identify flaws with your swing path, or just trying to stay sharp between rounds, it’s the ideal companion to have before heading to the first tee.
