I hate to say we called it but… Well, who am I kidding, I actually love to say we called it. Nearly two years ago, we published a blog on a new trend called FootGolf. It’s pretty self explanatory: you take golf, and replace the golf ball with a soccer ball (or as rest of …
It’s a complaint among golfers that is far too common: why isn’t the ball going straight? It feels like I’m doing everything right. What gives? There are a number of things that could be going wrong with your swing to keep your shots from going straight. One way to think of it is that, just …

One important thing to add to that is that if you don’t get your fairway iron shots in shape, you’re never going to hit greens in regulation. So, here’s what you do. Use the Pause-N-throw. Our device teaches …
In golf, hitting fairways and greens in regulation is a big deal. Real Joe-pro golfers like to talk “greens in reg.” That means that on a par four you should be on the green in 2 shots — that’s hitting the green in reg. Or getting on in three on a par 5. If you …
