Editor's Picks From The PGA Show

SkyPro ($200)

SkyCaddie, which for years has been telling you how far you are from the green, will soon tell you all about your golf swing. SkyPro will make its official launch at the end of March, and it's a motion capturing device that will attach to the shaft of your club (just underneath your grip) and send information to your iOS and android devices. It weighs 23 grams and will record up to 3,000 samples of information per second. Here are all the measurements SkyPro will instantly provide: clubhead speed, hand speed, swing tempo, time to impact, shaft lean at address, shaft lean at impact, backswing length, takeaway angle halfway back, return angle halfway down, shaft angle at address, shaft angle at impact, face angle halfway down, face angle halfway down. My favorite part? You will never have to press an on or off button (the device will know when you're using it) and you won't even have to enter what club you're using (it will know!). This device certainly isn't designed to replace your instructor, but it'll make it much easier to know exactly what you're doing at nearly every point during your swing.--Ashley Mayo

Club Crown ($39.99)

Don't be fooled: Club Crown by VIVE is even for those of us who aren't into the wave of color that's flooding the golf industry. One size fits any driver and there are 300 available designs -- a number that's growing daily. Make your old nicked-up driver look as good as new and protect it from future dings with a traditionally-colored decal, turn your 3-wood into your country's national flag, or get crazy and have a design for your hybrid customized by one of the company's several artists worldwide. The designs retail at $39.99 each (including professional installation) and are available at clubcrown.com--Brendan Mohler

GoPro Hero ($199)

In this share-everything culture, it's important to find ways to chronicle your golf experiences beyond a pictures of you and three buddies on a tee box. Enter the GoPro Hero camera, which has become a fixture on helmets at ski areas across the country. But the little, amazingly crisp video and still camera has plenty of golf usages, too. Attach it to your chest. Drop it in the bunker and blast sand over it. Heck, drop it in the cup, then edit it all down for a 21st century version of a trip scrapbook. The GoPro Hero's most elaborate version at $399 edition with a wifi remote so you can activate the camera from afar, but the simpler version takes the same quality video.--Sam Weinman

ClubGlove USA's TravelRX Bag ($399)

Lugging your golf bag through the airport -- while trying to balance your other suitcases -- can be one of the biggest frustrations of traveling. ClubGlove makes it easy. The luxury suitcase company unveiled its newest addition to its line of simple travel bags this week, the TravelRX bag. It's a "two-story" bag, allowing you to pack underneath the "floor." Snapping these bags into a "train reaction" line, making it easy to pull around.--Stephen Hennessey

Optishot ($399)

You can't afford a golf simulator in your own home, can you? Actually, for the price of a new driver, Optishot now has an infrared simulator that plugs right into your computer and allows you to play vaunted courses like Bethpage Black and Torrey Pines right in your living room. The infrared technology captures swing path and speed at impact to approximate ball flight and distance with remarkable accuracy. More elaborate options come with a net ($899) and even a HD projector and impact screen ($399), but for die-hards who want to play virtual rounds during the winter and not blow their budget, there's still hope. "There's no competition in our price point," Optishot Director of Sales Steve Konold said.--Sam Weinman

Crocs Golf Shoes ($79 to $139)

Crocs golf has taken the technology from their ever-popular slip-ons and built a golf shoe designed for durability, comfort and style. These shoes are available in a variety of colors and patterns and have a unique, multi-cleat TPU spikeless design that held up through over 70 rounds on the feet of legendary instructor Hank Haney. The shoe offerings are very lightweight and include a sturdy yet comfortable platform that will fit to your feet after only a few rounds. You can wear Crocs golf shoes on and off the course, eliminating the need to change shoes before and after your round. More men's and women's styles will be added to the already ample collection this spring.--Brendan Mohler

Rukk Net ($179)

If you're buying the simple version of the Optishot, you're going to need a net to go with. But even if it isn't about playing as it is just getting some swings in, the Rukk Net allows golfers to hammer away without breaking a neighbor's window. Usable for golf and for baseball, the net can sustain as much force as you can give it, and then folds up into a carrying case when you want to store it away. "I drive the ball 300 yards, so everything is tested by me," Rukket owner and founder Gabe Galt said. The net comes with a hitting mat, and a small chipping target, so you're able to work on your long and short game all in a compact space.--Sam Weinman

Scan4Beer (free app)

Who knew golfers needed algorithms to deliver beer? That's exactly what the folks at Scan4Beer have developed. A couple taps on your smartphone, and you've placed an order with the cart girl. It even calculates the amount of time it'll take for you to play the next couple holes against the time it takes for the cart girl to get to your group. "It's a win-win for us. I'm not wasting time, and I'm saving myself potential headaches," says Amy Lee, a cart attendant at Casselberry Golf Club outside Orlando. Set to launch in March, 900+ courses are pre-registered for Scan4Beer (Free app). No cart girl at your club? There is a halfway house feature in the app, too. You can order your drinks to be ready as you make the turn.--Stephen Hennessey

The Pill ($12.95)

Resembling a hockey puck more than a golf ball, this game-improvement product is designed for practice on and around the greens. The idea behind this dimple-shaped short-game aid is to exaggerate your misses. If you hit a putt off-center, The Pill will miss three cups outside instead of a slight miss. You can see your misses and make the proper adjustments. Drop it in a bunker and you'll be forced to hit behind the ball with a proper sand swing. If not, you'll hit it thin and leave it in the bunker. "I wanna make it as fun to practice as it was when you were a kid," founder Paul Nagi explained.--Stephen Hennessey

CS2 Putting System ($100)

This portable putting track, which made its debut on Thursday at the PGA Show, is also highly customizable. If you have a straight-back-straight-through stroke, you can arrange the putting tracks so they're parallel to each other. But if you have an arc stroke, the tracks are flexible and can be set to accomodate your path. You can also choose to set up the entire track, just its pegs or anything in between. My favorite part? It works just as well indoors as it does outdoors.--Ashley Mayo

Truelinkswear Sensei ($100)

Gone are the days golf shoes are heavy and require a painful "break-in." But the Sensei takes comfort to a different level. Positioned as a hybrid golf/running shoe, the company's president and co-founder, Rob Rigg, wore them to run an entire marathon, which he completed in under four hours. "The goal of a barefoot shoe," says Rigg, "is to make it so that your foot can function 100 percent naturally during the swing." Rigg adds that there are five elements of a barefoot shoe: zero drop (the heel and forefoot of the Sensei are at the same level); a thin outsole (the Sensei's outsole is three millimeters thick); flexibility; wide toe box; lightweight (the Sensei weighs 10 ounces). A leather, waterproof version of the Sensei, called Proto, launched at the PGA Show on Thursday.--Ashley Mayo

Tin Cup Stencils ($19.95-$125)

Two black dots on your ball are so yesterday. The Tin Cup stencils allow you to put your own individual mark on your ball, whether it's a college logo, a beer mug, a shamrock -- you name it. Pre-designed stencils, which come with their own bag, are just just $19.95, but where its gets interesting is the ability to customize your own design. You can have a stencil made with your initials and a stock logo for $75, or you can have a stencil made of your own logo design for $125. Think about it: if you lose a bunch of balls in the woods at a course one week, you have a better chance of finding them the next if they have your own custom logo.--Sam Weinman
