5 MOST EXCITING New Products I Found At The PGA SHOW 2024

so this is it PGA show 2024 I've attended this part almost every year since 2018 never really got two into it cuz it never really had to but this year it's so different I can dive into everything here and I'm going to share with you just the most exciting and cool things I can find for the game of golf in 2024 so my first stop on the floor was unicorn I saw their Booth last year didn't stop at it I just w walked by it but the I mini is a product that I've seen and it just really intrigues me and excites me so I wanted to go and see it firsthand hit some shots with it but also see what else this company was doing and when I was there like I was I was really impressed with everything like they've got so many great units for practice for simulator golf they're massive in Korea and they're kind of slowly making their finally making their way over here and uh I was impressed I was impressed top to bottom obviously they have the high-end units these console type things things but they have ai technology they're working on so you can analyze your swing and your data and and work on that they have a pressure mat kind of like a body track thing where you can obviously dive into your data there and learn how to practice better like they have an incredible kind of consumer facing fun simulator projecting all that stuff I mean they're working with LG so the graphics the quality it's also good but they also seem to really care about efficient practice dedicated practice the golfer improving so the I mini is still the thing that was like this is an impressive unit for 4500 bucks 18 data points awesome little user experience interface on the screen like I said the graphics are so freaking good yeah the direct competitor of the gc3 it's I was impressed I was really impressed with everything I saw at unicore but the I mini is definitely something that I'm like I would really like one of these cuz this could make practicing really really fun [Music] the next stop for me was Callaway yes I've hit some Callaway clubs kind of in the fall I got to test the wedges the utility clubs but everything about Callaway is just it's so intriguing to me it seems so exciting to me yes they're working with a lot of content creators they they've got a huge presence across socials Putters the AI Putters kind of really sparked it to me November to December and then obviously the driver just looks so cool and it it is person it's it's it's gorgeous it's really really cool like what the the bottom of the club looks like the putter looks great the two different faces I like the mil face feels really good with the ball this new Chrome tour everyone's talking about it and it just I'm I'm so interested to test it out I I could have hit it there in the speed challenge but when I had time to do it I had to get to a meeting at another Booth so I couldn't do it because they were doing kind of like head-to-head comparisons ball speed off the driver and spin with the wedges to the to the top competitor and like I was just looking at the data and it was like like this like like this like the wow so the Chrome tour ball is like super exciting to me they weren't at demo day so I wasn't able to hit anything at demo day but the whole Callaway thing right now I'm just excited about it it seems really cool they're doing really cool things really high performance things I mean they always have but I've never really paid too much attention or cared too much whereas yeah Callaway uh all they're doing right now is really exciting to me so I said I had a meeting it was at the echo Booth you know I've been an echo Ambassador for a few years now but they've launched a new shoe and like yeah I'm getting into kind of reviewing and Tech and all that they've launched a new shoe where they've kind of changed how they they build the kind of the midsole and and the bottom the LT1 and the shoe it's it's cool looking but like the tech and what's in it is cool it's exciting to to hear what they've done how they've injected foam into the midsole different to what they usually do the webbing can change so stylistically it looks really cool but in terms of performance it's meant to give you a little more lower to the ground feel a little bit more bounce a little bit more rebound so obviously the Comfort level will be there throughout a long day on the course but that little closer to the feel ground can just add to kind of how you use the ground and it's funny talk with the team there one of their tour players fell in love with them instantly because they use aim points so it kind of allows them to feel the slope even better when trying to a green so golf shoes are equipment and it was cool to see just this step up that Ekko is making in terms of changing how they build the shoe to allow the shoe to perform even better yeah the LT1 I'm excited I'm going to get mine maybe in a month from now so uh it'll be cool to to wear that this year so then I kind of swung my way over to the like Rangefinder section and there's a lot of rangefinders in the game right now I've been kind of targeted ads like crazy probably you as well this the cube the cube the cube the cube triangulation triangulation and to be fair kind of like scanned over it a little bit but then when I got to like see it touch it use it it's really cool like and I can relate to days where you're on a cart and you you got a cart path only and you got to bring a few clubs out to be able to like basically Pythagorean theorem and triangulate tap the flag you know just zap your ball and it'll tell you it works I was doing it in there and it works and what's really cool too yeah you got to figure out the kind of the method of it but once you do it'd be very intuitive but then like a lot of range finders that I've used you know like if you take it down you oh whereas we pulled this down it's got a display of like what you just got that was really cool it was a really cool product exciting I think it's it's a change in the rangefinder space so yeah that caddy talk Cube was was a cool one my last stop was the flight scope Booth before trying to trying to get out of there a timely manner in Flight scope they got some cool things Brewing the Mio plus got like a a refresh in the look nothing's changed hardware-wise they've just kind of launched this limited edition look but I think this is the the look that it's going to maintain it's a little less like toy looking looks a little more Sleek a little more elevated it's cool to see that they have a shot Tracer in there now with the data so there's a few data points with the tracker and that just kind of elevates your your phone experience and like if you want to share on social if you want to better see your swing with the shot it's just a cool little addition and it's it's quality it's not like a cheap addition and then Badger AI is something that they've they've announced and they're rolling out and I think that's just like a really cool direction that a lot of launch monor companies are going in is use using AI to learn from your data to give you ways to practice better to improve to learn from that data and answer questions how do I gain speed with driver how do I learn from my misses there's a lot of cool things that Badger AI is claiming it will be doing and I think that's a very exciting thing that to be fair the fight scope Meo plus is is one of the the best affordable launch monitors but not much has changed with it over the last few years because it's so good and it it they've updated things they don't have a subscription so like that's kind of what stands them apart they're updating things without a subscription but this Badger AI I think is something that's like okay here we go a few years on this is something to really bring this unit up to a whole new level and obviously the badger AI is worth all flight scope uses but that was something that yeah it's it's it's exciting and I think that leads me to my last kind of takeaway like at large the biggest thing I took away from the show is just like the launch monitor at home indoor golf simulator world is is like carrying the World of Golf forward I think post pandemic a lot of people got into golf but a lot of people also were golfing indoors and began to really enjoy that I mean five six years ago there was like three companies doing it I tried to see them all I think I got 10 of them maybe I missed some as I was like what b-roll did I get like oh I missed I missed a few cuz there's a lot of them now and they're generally all really good and they're generally all making advances they're generally all in good price points it's exciting because to me as a former player who values practice yes it's fun it's Sim it's da D it's the it's the camaraderie it's the social side of the game but it's also something that has the ability to allow a golfer to become a better golfer to practice more efficiently to practice better so the the atome personal use launch monitor world is booming I I think it's what's carrying this game forward and it's no surprise that it was like a massive chunk of the hard goods and the tech side of the floor at the PGA show because yeah it's a big big thing and it I don't think it's getting any smaller I hope you enjoyed that and let me know what are you most excited about uh in the game of golf when it comes to gear in 2024
