Retailing for $21.99, the DT TruSoft is the end product of tedious research and development on Titleist's part. Made right here in the USA, in Massachusetts, the ball offers a new core and cover that will please many a golfer. Golfers should find that the DT TruSoft improves distance on drives and long irons while improving touch around the greens.
2. Under Armour - Eyewear with Game Day Lenses
All for a price of around $100
Under Armour's partnership with golfer, Jordan Spieth received much press in 2015 with his play on the course and visibility off the course. Basketball star, Stephen Curry is another brand ambassador for Under Armour and he was in the spotlight as he and his teammates march to an NBA Championship. Now with a full line of eyewear, Under Armour has all the bases covered.
Enter their Game Day Lenses with a special color enhancer that comes in handy on the course. What you get is a better look at moving objects, quick and accurate recognition and processing, along with sharper on-field contrast. This makes reading greens and the contours of a course easier and it could help speed up those five-hour rounds you seem to get caught up in each time you pull your golf bag out of your trunk. Any of the frames with Game Day Lenses will work with ball sports.
The Under Armour Igniter 2.0 is a durable and comfortable frame with a titanium base. Unparalleled strength and frame flexibility that last and perform. When you combine the Game Day lens with the frames, users get 20% more peripheral vision and a lens coating that guards against scratches, smears and smudges. Yes, these frames will last more that six months. Remember, these lenses block 100% of UVA, UVB and UVC rays you encounter in life. Quite simply, the blues are bluer, the greens are very green and the ball is whiter than ever so you can follow the ball flight to the ground.

The putter has a PGA Tour professional singing its praises is Heath Slocum as he put it into play and is having success. “It just feels natural and more athletic. To me it’s just easy and makes sense.”
Dr. Frank Fornari is one of the inventors and co-owners of BioMech, he and BioMech's John Cunningham are traveling around the country hosting clinics and showing golfers what the AccuLock ACE can do for their golf game.
