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.

Talking some great golf and travel gadgets and tech for the holiday gift-giving season with my friend, Dan Shube, host of "The Golf and Travel Show" which airs live on am 1470 WWNN in Palm Beach as well as 95.3 FM in Pompano Beach and then it airs on Sunday on 740 am in Boca Ration. 

 

I love coming on and conversing with Dan and in this case, talking some great golf, travel and other holiday gift ideas.

Have a listen to both parts:




1. Get a Good Night Sleep with the Dreampad Smart Pillow

Golfers need a good night sleep and the Dreampad soothes troubled sleepers by emitting scientifically tested sound and vibrations to reduce stress and calm the mind and body. Dreampad connects with an easy to use smartphone app via Bluetooth and the soothing music and sounds do not disturb your partner.  
 

2.  Going along with the good night sleep.... live in a healthier environment with...

Honeywell Compact AirGenius 4 Air Cleaner - small tower unit that packs a big punch

Golfers have allergies and this AirGenius can keep allergies at bay
50 million Americans who suffer from nasal allergies, Honeywell Air Purifiers is introducing the Honeywell Compact AirGenius 4 Air Cleaner, a powerful and more efficient way to clean indoor air. A slightly smaller version of the popular AirGenius 4 Tower Air Purifier, the Compact Air Genius 4 has four intuitive operation settings—Sleep, General, Allergen, and Max—and uses contemporary controls to optimize filter performance in rooms up to 150SqFt. The patented ifD® filtration system, only available with Honeywell Air Purifiers, captures up to 99.9% of particles that pass through the filters, including those you can’t see. This model also includes a permanent, washable filter for convenience and low cost maintenance.


 
Products back out to the golf course...

3. New Bridgestone Golf Balls  - e6 Soft and e6 Speed

Developed using data gathered from more than 2 million in-person and online ball fitting sessions, the e6 series is the company’s most popular ball because testing proves it is 9 yards longer and 31% straighter than leading competitors. The new models improve upon this heritage and offer players the choice to select a feel that suits individual preference. Additional details include:
    e6 SOFT provides wonderful feel throughout the bag, reduces driver spin for longer distance and optimizes launch with irons/wedges for superior stopping power
    e6 SPEED delivers explosive initial ball velocity for incredible straight distance
    Both models feature new Delta Dimple Technology, minimizing air resistance to further enhance distance and accuracy

5.  The Net Return  -  Quality net for golf, soccer, lacrosse, football kicking - starts at $99
 


6.  William J. Murray Clothing line

Yes, when he isn't out following the Chicago Cubs, Bill Murray has a new clothing line out.
The William Murray Golf line will break away from traditional golf apparel companies by bringing a new look and feel to the industry with a little irreverence and a lot of style. The style will truly be first-of-its kind in the golf world and not one you'll typically see on the course. The incredibly fashionable line will consist of uniquely designed polos, shorts and hats. And even a golf buttoned down, which has become Bill's signature look on the course. Bill was actually recently seen wearing one of the WMG polos at the Ryder Cup the other week. Here is an awesome photo with him in the gear.

With the launch, golfer Pat Perez, one of the more unique personalities in the game today, will also officially start serving as the first WMG ambassador. Pat will be outfitted in WMG gear while on the course.
 

7.  For the golfer that has everything and likes to cook and eat.

Benihana "Be the Chef" Experience

www.benihana.com/promotions/be-the-chef

Rick went through the training himself
If you've ever been amazed by the show and enjoyed the delicious food at Benihana, you or a loved one can don the famous Benihana chef jacket and "Be the Chef." Go through "Be the Chef" training, learn the art of teppanyaki from a master chef, perfect Benihana's world famous tricks while having all of Benihana's resources and technology at your disposal, and then impress your family and friends as you cook for them. You will learn how to make Benihana's signature fried rice, all while you and your party indulge on soup, Benihana salad, shrimp appetizer, hibachi vegetables and entrees along with homemade dipping sauces and hot greeen tea. Packages start at $200 for a group of four. There are a ton of "experiences" offered as holiday gifts, but this may be the most delicious.
 
Thanks again to Dan for having me on!
