Welcome back to "Golf Life." I've been spending some time out on the golf course with some new gear lately, and I want to share with you what I've actually found out on the course. Tite Eyewear is the first piece of gear I want to show you. These guys are awesome. I've been wearing the Tite eyeglasses for several weeks of golf, and including a lot of golf rounds out here in Colorado, where you get everything from bright sun to flat overcast skies. In those in-between light conditions, clouds changing, not quite bright, these work really well. The tint is dialed in for golf. You pick up contours on the green, you see slopes you might not otherwise see, and the sun protection is really solid without going too dark. And something I didn't expect, they don't give you that heavy foggy feeling. You know what I'm talking about, when you have darker lenses? No. These, I don't have to take them off. You kind of forget they're on, and that's a good thing. And on really bright Colorado bluebird days, like maybe today, they're a little light on the tint. They might run on the lighter side, so I might switch to something a little darker on this day. But on most of the days, the majority of the rounds that I've been playing, they were exactly right. Tite Eyewear, T-I-T-E, titeeyewear.com is where you get them, and they're worth looking at if you've been frustrated by glasses that work in one condition and not another. I really like them. Another product I've been using is the Blue Tees Captain Air rangefinder, and it's become one of those things that you just reach for without thinking about it. This thing is really great. The laser does exactly what you need, fast, accurate yardage. And one thing I appreciate is that you get front and back green distances, not just the flag. Now, the Blue Tees app is genuinely good. It comes on your phone, everything you'd want, hole layouts, hazard distances, scoring, shot tracking. You get GPS on your way around the course, and you pull out the laser when you need a precise number. And the two work together. Neither one feels like a compromise. But here's one thing I really didn't expect to love, the find your rangefinder feature. Folks, we all know that the number one thing that people leave behind on a golf course is... That's right. I thought I'd left mine the other day after a round. I opened the app, and it turns out it was in the car. Could've been a lot worse. It's a great laser, the app is excellent, and it's got that built-in safety minded for those of us who are absent-minded. Blueteesgolf.com, that's where you get it. I've been playing the BGT Ford to Speed Flight shaft for a few weeks now. BGT is Breakthrough Golf Technology. And what I can tell you is my drives feel more solid, and I'm seeing a squarer club face at impact more consistently. Now, the technology behind it is called advanced torque control. It's designed to resist the twist that happens in the shaft when you're swinging fast. When a shaft torques at the top of your swing, the face can open or close before you even make contact, and the Speed Flight is built to minimize that. The result for me has been tighter dispersion, more consistent distance, and I'm actually picking up yards. The shaft is lightweight, so you're going to get more speed, but it plays like a stiff shaft in terms of feel. The club face is where you expect it to be when you arrive at impact. You get the distance of a lighter shaft without the looseness. The BGT Ford Speed Flight. If you've been fighting inconsistency off the tee, it's worth asking your fitter about breakthroughgolftech.com. We really appreciate you joining us here on "Golf Life." We'll see you next time.
