Caliber Golf
Brothers Chip and Tim Wright have created a product that they believe will help all golfers improve their score, and their passion for the product was on full display at the ING Spring Forum.
Caliber Golf officially launched its patented putting grip+shaft at the 2023 PGA Show in Orlando, but gave ING attendees a close-up look during their presentation at the ING Spring Forum in Valley Forge May 31. The Wright brothers combined their two passions – golf and ice hockey - to invent this unique product.
The carbon fiber, rectangular grip extends the length of the putter shaft. It evokes thoughts of greatness, while giving golfers an edge on the green. This innovation is engineered to improve the player’s sight-to-target alignment, and to give the freedom to place hands in any position while maintaining consistent tempo and control.
“We have taken something golfers are familiar with, the hockey shaft, and converted it into the first putting grip+shaft of its kind that conforms with the rules of golf,” said Caliber Golf co-founder & CEO Tim Wright. Added COO Chip Wright, “Our goal is to get our product into the hands of as many PGA professionals, media, golf manufactures, fitters, influencers as possible to test & experience how Caliber Golf is changing the status quo.”
Caliber Golf’s innovation fits to any putter head. Players can convert their current putter to the Caliber Golf grip or select a complete unit at CaliberGolf.com.
GolfBreeze
GolfBreeze from ZoomBroom is an ultralight, portable leaf blower with enough power to clear a clean path to the cup. Invented on the golf course, where debris on the green can ruin a good round, GolfBreeze effortlessly removes impediments like leaves, seeds, blossoms, and sand that can be disruptive, distracting, and slow play. Weighing less than 2 lbs, the slim design of this stick blower allows it to be easily accessible and stored alongside clubs in any golf bag.
GolfBreeze eliminates the noise, heavy equipment, bulky battery packs, and storage problems of traditional leaf blowers and is the quickest way to cleaner greens. Instead of spending the time to call over a greenskeeper with a loud leaf blower that will disturb the peacefulness of the course and keep golfers waiting, players can conveniently and quickly clear their own path to maximize the quality of the putting area and keep the game moving.
Simple and fun to use, GolfBreeze features two-speed settings, a comfortable grip, and includes a protective head cover. The lithium battery provides up to 30 minutes of power from one charge. When the round is over, the wall-mount accessory makes for easy plug-in charging at home so you are ready for the next round!
The recipient of a Global Innovation Award for 2022, there is nothing else like it on the market. Enjoy the game with cleaner greens. GolfBreeze from ZoomBroom is available now on Amazon and ZoomBrooms.com
Greenskeepers
Back in the nineties when metal spikes became a thing of the past, the Carroll brothers in Philadelphia decided to join the revolution, creating a successful and critically acclaimed non-metal cleat under the company name GreenKeepers, Inc.
The Carrolls were truly pioneers in that arena, and their invention of the outward-angled, tractiontooth golf cleats is still being used around the world today.
Since then, GreenKeepers has introduced several products many golfers know and love, including the 4 Yards More Performance Golf Tee, the Line-M-Up stenciling device, the Myball golf ball personalizer, and the PosiSet grip counterweights.
Attendees at the ING Spring Forum in Valley Forge recently had the pleasure of learning about the products first-hand from Frank Carroll.
“All our products are designed, tooled, and produced in Philadelphia,” says Carroll. “We take our time inventing new products. We want to make products that make a difference in somebody’s game.”
The “4 Yards More” performance golf tees have proven to be the most successful product in the line, with various lengths for various clubs. The unique, durable design flexes at contact, reducing ball spin and providing tighter control and greater distance.
One of the more popular GreenKeepers products is Myball, a personalized ball-marking tool. There are several design choices, including “man’s best friend,” and “the gambler.” The players simply color in the design they choose.
The LineMup Pro is a precision ball alignment tool that provides multiple marking options. The lines improve aim, stroke and green-reading abilities, helping players to save strokes.
The PosiSet product is a weight for every club in your bag, including your putter. Attaching easily to the top of your grip, this PosiSet is the easiest method to adjust the weight in your clubs. It puts a sense of direct heaviness in your hands to help stabilize the club and putter head.

Makefield Putters
When you incorporate science with high quality materials and state-ofthe-art manufacturing, you really can’t go wrong, regardless of the type of product being developed.
Those three elements are a huge part of the foundation of Makefield Putters, a relatively new and successful putter company based near Philadelphia. Makefield Putters was born after owner Everett Farr began watching putting videos on YouTube during the COVID pandemic. When Farr saw slow-motion studies of how far a golf ball skids before it begins rolling on the average putt, he thought he could use his manufacturing experience to do better.
“We already had Lehdrex, an engineering company that designs and develops new products to take to market,” said Farr. “Through Lehdrex and our specialization in 3D computer modeling and fabrication, I already had a significant head start to implement my engineering concepts to create a great putter.”
And he was right. Makefield Putters is making headway in a challenging segment of the golf industry, as attendees at the recent ING Spring Forum in Valley Forge learned from representatives Nick Biglasco and Mike Dynda.
The Makefield putter starts with a head that is milled from a single block of aluminum alloy to minimize any vibrations that can come from heads with multiple parts. The face is optimized using Radial Cusp Face Technology (RCFT). The CNC milling on the face creates lnodules that produce an equal impact on the ball across the face.
Additionally, Makefield Putters created the X3 Weight System for different types of strokes and skill levels to maximize adjustability for all golfers. This is similar to driver weighting systems. The weighting system enables golfers to change the weight of the head depending upon green conditions and individual stroke characteristics.

SKŌNI golf shoes
On its website, SKŌNI golf shoes makes the following claim:
“On the links or out for drinks, SKŌNIs are ready to play.”
The fact-checkers that so often make our politicians look better suited for the lead role in the movie “Liar, Liar,” would find that statement to be absolutely true.
SKŌNIs is a fairly new player in the golf shoe market, with an entirely new story. These are colorful, casual slip-on shoes that can be worn just as comfortably off the golf course as they are on.
“With southern roots firmly planted in the Charleston lifestyle, we took some innovative steps to create the most comfortable, versatile, slip-on golf shoe that can be worn on and off the course,” says the website. “Rarely comes a golf shoe that changes the way you live life and play golf.”
The key feature on the SKŌNI shoe is the adjustable lace lock that makes the shoes as simple to tighten as they are to slip on. Five seconds and you are ready to hit your first tee shot or down your first cocktail.
The shoe’s exterior is made of a lightweight microfiber fabric that is breathable and machine washable. The fabric comes in a variety of colors, from red/white and blue to black, and several in-between.
Spikeless treads provide enough traction to keep you stable throughout your swing, and are safe to wear anywhere. The insole provides a comfortable cushion, and the shoes can be worn without socks if you prefer.
One note of caution: If the weatherman is calling for rain, you might consider a different pair. SKŌNIs are at their best during dry conditions.
Reviews have been positive for SKŌNI. Says PGA member Casey Cook, Director of Purchasing, Founders Group International, “If you are a golfer looking for a stylish comfortable golf shoe that you can wear on and off the course, then SKŌNI is the shoe for you.”
SKŌNI golf shoes retail for $99.99 per pair. For more information, visit www.skoni.com.
2 Undr
A few years back I checked in for a Member-Guest tournament at the Timacuan Club and was handed a nice welcome gift bag that included the traditional items –golf balls, golf shirt, glove and hat.
And one not-so-traditional item that drew a “What the heck” response from my partner.
A gray pair of underwear from a brand I had not heard of at the time – 2UNDR™.
Now, all these years later, 2UNDR™ is all you will find in my underwear drawer – and in a variety of colors and designs.
“It was a simple marketing strategy,” said Jack Curry, VP of Sales for the company. “We believed that once most guys tried them out, they would become a loyal customer.”
It has worked, as 2 UNDR now is a recognizable brand around the golf world. And there are a few reasons for that.
From the website: “The vision of 2UNDR™ was simple. Inspired by the kangaroo pouch, we set out to create a high-performance men’s athletic underwear, with the versatility of everyday use. Using the most advanced construction techniques and materials, our patented Joey Pouch® separates man’s most valuable assets away from the body to reduce unwanted skin-on-skin contact. With more support than a standard brief and improved airflow to keep you cool, 2UNDR products provide the best fit, comfort and style a man could ever need. Designed in Vancouver, worn everywhere.”
My personal findings: 2 UNDR underwear is soft, comfortable and durable. I think I still have my first pear.
Most of the models come in four lengths – 3”, 6” , 9” and Long John. And the company is constantly adding a wide variety of fun and unique designs – from parrots to sharks to the American flag. And other clothing like tee shirts, polos and pants have been added to the line.
But for me, it simply comes down to comfortable underwear. And 2UNDR delivers.
