Callaway Chrome Tour Area 51

Callaway is at it once again with their newest Area 51-inspired Chrome Tour golf balls, featuring aliens, spaceships, warning signs, and cactus—the extra-terrestrial works if you will.

Although we've been told that no extra space dust or rocket fuel was used in the production if thses golf balls, that doesn't mean you can't send laser beams down fairways with them (I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself with that one).

SuperStroke Ryder Cup Grips

Titleist Pro V1 (Left Dot)

If you like the Titleist Pro V1 golf ball, but have also been looking to lower your peak height and spin, then this is for you, because the elusive Left Dot Pro V1 is back.

This is also good news for those who don't want to pay eBay resellers $200 a dozen for this either!

For those unfamiliar with this CPO (Custom Performance Option) golf ball, the Left Dot Pro V1 is a lower-flying and lower-spinning version of the popular Pro V1, that still maintains the signature soft feel and higher greenside spin of the core model Pro V1.

It was originally designed for players who generate higher spin dynamics into the ball, or those with a lot of speed; players like Jake Knapp and Tony Finau, although they can be a beneficial ball to anyone that needs lower long game spin to maximize performance.

Availability and Pricing

The Pro V1 Left Dot will be available on Tuesday, September 23rd, through Titleist.com and at select online retailers in the U.S. and Canada, but, will be limited to two dozen per customer.

As for price, they will be $55 a dozen.

Arccos Announces Smart Laser Rangefinder

Arccos, the folks behind the top game tracking system and stats wearables, just announced their newest product to help golfers get dialed in, the Arccos Smart Rangefinder.

Yes, it comes with all the features you'd expect from a competitively priced laser range finder including lock on pin notification, 6.1X optical zoom, storage magnet, and a high level of accuracy - but it can also by synced with your Arccos App to deliver AI power club selection tools plus realtime weather/wind data to help you make the right choice.

But here's the catch, it comes with a $16.67 ($200 a year) subscription, which is free for the first year after purchase. This takes it from a reasonably priced unit to one that carries a subscription fee that costs more than a basic laser rangefinder on Amazon.

It's currently available for presale with an expected delivery date of late October, and it will be extremely interesting to see how consumers react to another subscription based technology product, especially in the golf consumer market.
