3. Neuro Tennis Wristbands  $269
www.neurotennis.com


Smart tennis wristbands. Two key differences make this wearable technology so different from other smart tennis devices on the market.

“One major difference is that NeuroTennis coaches you while you play,” said NeuroTennis CEO, Alain Cohen. “Other tennis trackers just report statistics on speed, spin, and stroke counts, without much actionable information. NeuroTennis, on the other hand, provides coaching instructions that are synchronized with the rhythm of your hitting, as you play.
“The second revolutionary aspect of the technology is that it wirelessly connects the wristbands of two players across the court, in order to pinpoint the timing of audible coaching instructions, precisely when your opponent hits the ball.”
Former world No. 1 Mats Wilander was an integral part of designing NeuroTennis. “To reach the next level, I believe in modifying your game and not just measuring it,” Wilander said. “I believe that to reach your full potential, you need to train your brain just as hard as your skills and fitness.”
Features and benefits of NeuroTennis include:

Two player or solo mode - NeuroTennis is most typically used in a two-player mode, meaning that the sensors in each device communicate with each other, across the court.
NeuroTennnis App - The feature-rich app allows you to select lessons and drills from an extensive library designed by world-class coaches, including Mats Wilander. Taking it to the next level, you or your coach can easily customize content to specifically address your goals. Available for iPhone and Android.
Game Modifying Technology™ - While other wearable tennis products just measure physical results, like speed and spin, NeuroTennis is about ingraining better habits and accessing your tennis skills consistently so you can raise your game while you practice. Training at higher levels leads to playing at higher levels.

4. GoPro MAX Action Cam  $499

Shoot 360 3K Video at 60fps for High-Action Capture and 2x Slo-Mo
Time Lapse Video and Time Lapse Photo Added to 360 Mode

Perfect for filming your golf swing

GoPro released an update for its award-winning MAX 360-camera today that unlocks awesome new options for spherical video and photo capture. New features include the addition of 3k at 60 frames per second, Time Lapse Video and Time Lapse Photo, all in 360 mode.

The availability of 3K video at 60fps gives users more flexibility when filming things that are action-oriented or anything that simply would look cool in slow-mo, from speeding down a mountain to simply tossing a frisbee. 

This 2x slow-mo mode also allows for more time to pan and zoom around in the frame while the action is happening so you can get the perfect shot.

Also new is the addition of 360 Time Lapse Video and Time Lapse Photo – features already available in single-lens HERO mode and now brought to spherical capture. Time Lapse Video mode in 360 means users have more interval options for capturing longer periods of time – ideal for a sunrise, sunset or scenic drive.
 

5. Galway Bay - Rain Gear

If the golfer in your life dreams of traveling to play in Ireland, Scotland or at Bandon Dunes, they’re going to want to bring quality rain gear. Galway Bay’s premium rain jacket and true-to-size rain pants have been named “Best Rain Gear” for two straight years by MyGolfSpy’s panel of reviewers.

Galway Bay rainwear stands apart in the industry with lightweight, breathable fabrics that allow golfers to stretch and move freely while staying warm and dry. Designed by expert tailors and using 100-percent-waterproof and 100-percent-breathable materials, Galway Bay’s outerwear was developed to be a refreshing, fashion-forward alternative to bulky, ill-fitting and uncomfortable rain gear.

Galway Bay’s pants, which feature belt loops, a seven-inch zipper and nine-inch-deep pockets, and incorporate the same fabric used for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, are designed to look like and be worn as golf slacks, eliminating the need to dress in layers. The pants can be ordered to fit a golfer’s exact waist and inseam sizes, optimizing comfort, fit and style like no other rain pant ever has.

The all-weather Galway Bay jacket is available in multiple color options and features a softer, quieter fabric than typical rain gear and rubberized waterproof zippers.

Rick's Appearance on 'Sunday Morning Show' 92.9 The Game 12/15/19 Holiday Gift Items

Rick joined Sam and Greg on SportsRadio 92.9 The Game Sunday morning with his 2019 Holiday Sports and Tech Gift Picks!

Have a listen:

Items they discussed:

Huffy Hybrid Gravel Bike – On & Off Road Bike

We often don’t think about the technology behind bikes, but the new Huffy Carom 27.5-in 14-Speed Gravel Bicycle is a great gift for someone looking to upgrade their ride or for someone looking at getting back into biking. The new style boasts a sturdy aluminum hydroformed frame, dual disc brakes, mountain bike handlebars, alloy quick-release seat binder, and Kolo alloy 3-piece crank. The 14-speed Micro-Shift shifting technology makes it easy to adjust gears while on the road, off the road, or adventuring through downtown. You can pick up the rugged bike at retailers for $260.

Amazon Echo Flex

Without fail, any Amazon in-home gadget works wonders during the holidays. The Echo Flex is the perfect solution to add to your home automation and smart systems. And for under $25, it is a great stocking stuffer or supplemental gift. The Echo flex offers voice control of your smart home (turn on lights, adjust thermostats, phone calls, lock doors), built-in USB port (charge your phone or tablet), an optional night-light accessory or motion sensor, and connection to other compatible Echo devices. You can also enable Alexa Guard to get Smart Alerts if your Echo device detects the sound of smoke alarms, carbon monoxide alarms, or glass breaking.

Samsung Q70R Soundbar

As television technology continues to advance in terms of picture technology, sound seems to take a back seat. Enter Samsung’s 2019 Q Series Soundbars – the Q70R provides multidimensional cinematic audio sound designed to enhance your home entertainment setup. The Q Series offers Dolby Atmos & DTS: X along with a super sleek and slim design featuring 6 speakers in total. Buyers can save upwards of $200 on select soundbars when buying a qualifying 2019 QLED or UHD TV. This is an ideal gift for the sports, movie, and gaming fanatic in your life.
