Arccos Caddie Link
Arguably golf’s most powerful game-improvement tool, it’s now even more convenient. The big advancement? Ditching your cell phone. Past Arccos customers know that keeping a cell phone handy for shot-tracking was always part of the product. But the company’s newest model, Link, features an ultra-powerful, tiny accessory that clips onto a belt or skirt and tracks all the data previously recorded by smartphones. Add this to Arccos’ state-of-the-art stat-tracking and AI-powered advice, and you get a cutting-edge product for golfers looking to take their games up a notch.
WHOOP
After grabbing headlines in June when PGA TOUR pro Nick Watney used the WHOOP band to spot his COVID-19 symptoms before testing positive, WHOOP has become the buzziest health-monitoring device in sports. In addition to measuring respiratory activity during sleep, which is how Watney was alerted, the lightweight strap tracks and analyzes biometric data such as heart rate variability, resting heart rate and more. WHOOP then prescribes recommendations for how much sleep you need, whether your body had recovered properly and how hard you should push during your next training session.
