1. DiXX Digital Instruction Putter
Didn't Rodney whip this out in "Caddyshack"? No, but this digital slide-in device measures swing path, impact position, face angle, swing tempo and stroke speed. By turning the club left or right, you control menus on the LCD screen. Includes a metronome tone, grip sensor and digital data storage. Distributed in the U.S. by Adams Golf.

2. Nokia N93 Golf edition
Think your cell has the works? This one is a phone, video camera, computer and digital camera. You can video your swing and send it to your teacher, who can send back analysis using drawing tools or split-screen displays. You can even view a video lesson. Comes loaded with playing tips and tour-pro swings. Available in the U.S. this summer.
$1,100 (estimate) / nokia.com

3. Suunto G6
A stylish scorekeeping watch (four games to choose from) that logs performance stats, like fairways and greens hit and putting average. The G6 also collects swing data -- tempo, rhythm, backswing length and speed -- with every swing you take. Download the data onto a computer and use Suunto software to analyze stats and track progress.
