What Trainings do Pros purchase Feb 09

Sitting here looking at the snow and thinking it's going to be a least a week before I can either practice outdoors or play golf, I got to thinking which products the Pro's actually purchase themselves.
So let me share with you what I have sold to a number of Pro's.

Did you know that over 90% of US PGA tour Pro's use Bushnell Rangefinders in their practice rounds? The most popular product amongst the UK Pro's I sell to is the 1500 Pinseeker followed by the very portable Tour V2.
See the full range at: http://www.perfectmygolf.co.uk/acatalog/Range_Finders.html

Word is getting out amongst both US and UK Pro's, that the Orange Whip Trainer shown at the PGA show recently has great benefits for warming up correctly and establishing a good swing tempo before they even try and hit a ball. Bernard Gallacher, OBE and ex Ryder Cup Captain, agreed to have his picture taken with this product as he was so impressed with it.
In addition, word has it that Padraig Harrington purchased one from the Titleist Performance Institute in Carlsbad, Calif. when he visited them late last year, and if it's good enough for a 3-time major winner it must help us mere mortals.

Finally, we should not overlook the putting section, as this is something I can at least practice on the carpet!!. Leading UK pro Justin Rose purchased an Izzo TriLink last summer, as this device helps to promote keeping the forearms quiet during the putting stroke.

Also very popular are the Izzo Balance disks that make you concentrate on keeping the body still when putting, see these at: http://www.perfectmygolf.co.uk/acatalog/Balance_Disks_2.html

Product Info Oct 08

As the nights are drawing in and winter is fast approaching, you may be thinking of how you can keep your game sharp between weekend rounds.
