NEW GEAR GREAT GEAR! DV8 SPORTS GOLF CLUBS Forget what you think you know about lugging a full complement of golf clubs – the newest innovation from DV8 Sports shouts fore and hits luggage problems for a hole-in-one. The DV8 Sports golf clubs are assembled using the company’s patented couplers, meaning that instead of carrying 14 shafts, golfers need only carry one. Its main innovation is enabling players to vary the lower shaft length from coupler to club head, all while ensuring each club is kept true to its regular length, weight and shaft flex. The driver and fairway heads are securely mounted in the DV8 pack, while foam tubes protect the shaft when it is not in use. The nifty invention enables aspiring Tiger Woods to toe a full set of clubs, weighing approximately 3.7 kg, in a compact backpack which can even accommodate an iPad for that spot of instruction on the green. What about your personal caddy, you ask? Well, the only tip you may need to give him is to find another job. $900 (R9 000) from www.dv8sports.com. ZEPP GOLF SENSOR In golf, like life, awareness of your strengths and weaknesses is key to improving your game. To this end, the Zepp golf sensor enables you to see your swing in detail, by fitting on your glove and then connecting with your smart device over Bluetooth. Additionally, you can even see your all-important hip rotation as well if you slide your device into an available pocket. Better yet, using the golf sensor enables you to keep track of your efforts with every club, and see where you are improving or on what areas you need to concentrate. Available for $150, visit www.zepp.com/golf/ for more information. 08 September 2014 | TechSmart
