What a year for "The Tech of Sports." My sports tech podcast on the Modern Life Network is one of the most rewarding things I do. I not only spread the gospel of sports technology, but also promote podcasting and its merits. Each year, as my final show of the year, I give my picks for some of the best gadgets related to sports.
Rick gives his picks for his favorite sports and even some non-sports related gadgets for the year on this week's episode. 2015 has been a great year for innovative gadgets, but Rick has paired it down to his favorite 7 and he is happy to discuss them with Steve.
Listen to my picks and the wrap up of the year here:
Here are the details:
Beddit Smart Sleep Tracker – We call could use a better night’s sleep
The Beddit Smart sleep tracker can help. It makes any bed into a smart bed by combining an ultra-thin sensor, placed under the bed sheet, with the Apple Watch or any iOS or Android device. It automatically tracks heart rate, movement, sleep cycles and more, delivers a personalized SleepScore each morning and tailors coaching to achieve better sleep in the future. There’s nothing to wear and nothing to do but sleep. And it’s available in Apple Stores worldwide, from Amazon and from other well-known retailers.

Master Lock Padlock and App
For Gym Lockers, Storage Units and more…
Master Lock recently announced their new Bluetooth Smart Padlocks, and we’d love to send over samples for you to test and review. These new smart padlocks turn any smart-enabled device into a key, eliminating the worry and hassle that surrounds forgotten combinations or lost keys.
-Dog & Bone
Bluetooth padlock controlled by an iOS or Android app that offers users a trackable and secure solution for conveniently locking and accessing valuables. Owners can manage one or several padlocks and instantly share lock access with others while tracking lock use.
All lock activity can be viewed in the app which displays username, date, and time of use, and user access can be revoked at any time without exchanging a physical key.
LockSmart offers the highest Bluetooth security standard (128-bit advanced encryption), and the option for owners to unlock the padlock using Touch ID, tapping the icon, or entering a passcode.
Made from hardened steel and die-cast Zamak-3 Zinc Alloy, LockSmart features a custom cell lithium-ion battery, providing up to two years of power or as many as 3,000 unlocks before a recharge. The app notifies users when the LockSmart is low on power and can be charged using a micro USB tucked into the weatherproof seal. The LockSmart Keyless Bluetooth Padlock will retail for USD $89.95 and the LockSmart Mini Keyless Bluetooth Padlock will retail for USD $69.95.
Bio Mech AccuLock Ace Putter
AccuLock ACE is their latest putter and since it was designed from the body out, the developers say it takes the thinking out of putting and frees up your movement to hit the putt you want. 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 BioTech, 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.
Note: The AccuLock ACE is designed so that the grip rests against the inner portion of the forearm, stabilizing the hands, arms and shoulders (a method that will remain legal after the anchor ban on Jan. 1, 2016)
