5 Gadgets to Enhance Your Golf Game

SensoGlove

Nailing your swing is about finding proper pressure—if you hold the club with a death grip, chances are you’ll gaff it. But thanks to sewn-in sensors, the SensoGlove pulls feedback from previous swings to calculate what your grip should be throughout your stroke. A tiny, sweat-proof computer measures your swing’s pressure from 1 to 18 so you can adjust for your next shot. Plus, it shows you (down to the finger) where in your grip you need to relax your hold.

October 9, 2012, Boca Raton, FL – Velocomp www.ibikesports.com, a leading sports technology company and creator of the iBike line of cycling power meters, cycling fitness systems, and bike computers, announced today two new products, the iBike® Dash CC 5TM cycling computer and iBike Phone Booth 5TM bike case and mount.  Both products are designed specifically for the new iPhone 5 and feature advanced Bluetooth 4 bike sensor technology to track speed and cadence and water resistance to protect your iPhone from the elements.

 

Made in the U.S.A., the iBike Phone Booth 5 will be available in November and the iBike Dash CC 5 Cycling Computer will be available in December.  All iBike Dash products for earlier iPhone and iPod touch models will continue to be available.   “We are excited to be able to bring out the new iBike Dash CC 5 Cycling Computer and iBike Phone Booth 5 quickly after the launch of the game changing iPhone 5,” said John Hamann, CEO Velocomp.  “At iBike, the wheels of progress and value just keep turning!”

 

iBike Phone Booth 5 Case & Mount with iBike Click-Latch System for Water Protection & “Sled” for Easy Removal

 

Ready for the roads and the unexpected challenges that come with them, the new iBike Phone Booth 5 case now provides extreme weather/water protection and shock absorption to protect your iPhone from the elements.  iBike Phone Booth 5 features new water sealing iBike Click-LatchTM system that provides water protection with an audible click sound for assurance that your iPhone is safely sealed inside the protective iBike case (see iPhone Booth 5 water demonstration video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=layc2L1AHY8&list=UUADv_bz6ln9rqbtbQmS-0uw&index=6&feature=plcp).

 

The new iBike Phone Booth 5 case is shorter, sleeker, and lighter than the original iBike Phone Booth case, which makes it easier to use on your bike.  In addition, the new cushioning Phone Booth “sled” now holds the iPhone 5 safely and securely in the case, with a creative design that allows you to remove your iPhone 5 quickly and conveniently whenever you wish.

 

iBike Phone Booth Dual Mount: Position iPhone in Portrait OR Landscape Setup – Your Choice

VELOCOMP SHIPS IBIKE POWERHOUSE

FOR IPHONE/IPOD TOUCH –

WORLD’S FIRST INTELLIGENT CYCLING FITNESS SYSTEM

 

Automatically Adjusts to Your Exercise Goals

 

Features Fitness Plans & Video Tips: “iSlim®,” “CycleMax,” “Weekend Warrior,” “Brazilian Butt,” & More

Designed by Hunter Allen – World-Class Power-Cycling Coach

 

July 16, 2012 – Boca Raton, FL – Velocomp www.ibikesports.com, a leading sports technology company and creator of the iBike Dash CC Cycling Computer, announced today that it is now shipping  iBike® POWERHOUSETM, the world’s first intelligent cycling fitness system that automatically adjusts to your exercise goals.  Based on assessments of your fitness level, the revolutionary iBike POWERHOUSE works with your iPhone and iPod touch to measure, guide and motivate you to achieve important health, appearance, and fitness goals. The POWERHOUSE method maximizes the benefit of each ride and shortens the time needed to achieve results.

 

iBike POWERHOUSE combines iBike’s patented power measurement and analysis technologies with automatically-adjusting, goal-oriented cycling plans — all delivered through the incredible display and computing power of the iPhone/iPod touch. 

 

Choose Your Goal-Based Plan – iBike POWERHOUSE Guides You Step-by-Step

 

Working out with iBike POWERHOUSE is easy.  Select a goal-based plan, from “iSlim,” “CycleMax,” “Express Fitness,” “Brazilian Butt,”  “Weekend Warrior,” and “Zero to 20 miles” — just some of the plans available.  Then, over a period of 4-6 weeks, iBike POWERHOUSE guides you through a series of 45-90 minute bike rides.  During each ride, you are directed to pedal at specific levels of effort (power), customized to the plan’s goals and your measured fitness level.  So, a “couch potato” will start out at a challenging but lower level of effort, whereas a fitter cyclist will start the same plan at a significantly higher level of effort.  

 

Fitness Plans Designed by Power-Cycling Coach Hunter Allen

 

iBike POWERHOUSE’s fitness plans are designed by Hunter Allen, one of the world’s foremost power-cycling coaches.  Allen’s plans have been proven over nearly 20 years of coaching cyclists at all levels — from beginner to world class.  And, in addition to the structured ride information for each plan, videos are included with tips from Allen for getting the most out of your cycling.  

 

iBike POWERHOUSE is a complete system, including:

 

  • A water/shock resistant “smart case” for the iPhone/iPod touch.
  • Patented electronics that perform all cycling measurements, including power.
  • The iBike POWERHOUSE app that interacts with iBike’s electronics.
  • A wireless speed/cadence sensor.
  • Handle bar mounting system.
  • The ability to listen to music or take phone calls while cycling*

 

“The iBike POWERHOUSE is the only product that creates cycling plans customized to your fitness level and goals, and that automatically adjusts as you improve,” said John Hamann, CEO, Velocomp.  “iBike POWERHOUSE is a must for anyone who owns a bike and who wants to achieve measurable improvement towards health and fitness goals or improve their overall cycling.”

 

Available immediately at: www.ibikesports.com, iBike POWERHOUSE is priced at $279 MSRP.  It includes the case, electronics, POWERHOUSE app, speed/cadence sensor, iSlim and CycleMax plans, and mounting system.  Additional fitness plans are available in-app, priced at $9.99 each.  For more information, see www.ibikepowerhouse.com.

USAToday.com Features foxL & bike mount and Uwater G4 in Summer fitness accessories "Reward yourself for working out this summer with these new fitness products."

Skipping your workout can be a huge temptation when the sun blazes overhead and a cool oasis beckons. USA TODAY picked six great gadgets that will help you forget the heat and stay active this summer.

Born to ride

Taking your music on long bike rides gives you the extra kick you need to climb hills and endure long flats. FoxL is a super-light Bluetooth system by Soundmatters that fits on handlebars. It is 5.6 inches long and weighs 9.5 ounces. The stereo sound is rich — and safer than wearing ear buds attached to a phone or MP3 player.

The lithium battery might last longer than your legs: It has up to five hours of life and is rechargeable. Spend a couple seconds syncing your iPhone or Blackberry and hit the road. If you’re hooked on a bike computer and have it mounted on one side of your handlebars, this unit fits beside it or on the other side. Speakers, $199; mounting kit, $34.
 

Sounds of summer

Get lost listening to one of this season’s best-selling authors during lap swims or crank up your favorite tunes while waiting for a wave to ride. Fitness Technologies claims to make the smallest waterproof MP3 player. UwaterG4 weighs less than an ounce, holds 4G of data (1,000-1,200 songs) and is guaranteed for up to 10 feet underwater. Attach it to eye goggles for lap swims or an armband for other water activities. The earplugs are equipped with a 36-inch red cord and a twist-and-lock jack that keeps out water. $79.95.

NEW BIKE MOUNT KIT FOR FOXL
PORTABLE HI-FI BLUETOOTH SPEAKERS LAUNCHED

foxL BKMT-2 Bicycle Mount Kit Lets You Enjoy Wireless Music
& Hands-Free Speakerphone while Biking —
Avoids the Dangerous Isolation of Earbuds

Lower Cost, Quick-Release Cradle Compatible with Other Mounts Enhances foxLs Pocket-sized Go Anywhere Flexibility
 

Reno, NV, June 5, 2012 – Soundmatters www.soundmatters.com, the leader in high-quality, portable speakers founded by former NASA engineer/audio legend Dr. Godehard Guenther, announced today the new foxL BKMT-2 Bike Mount Kit for the ultimate wireless portable speaker on the road – the foxLTMv2 Hi-Fi Bluetooth speaker line.  The foxL BKMT-2 Bike Mount Kit is a universal bicycle mount that works with any bicycle to mount the pocket-sized foxL HiFi speaker, letting you enjoy wireless music and hands-free speakerphone capabilities while biking, avoiding the dangerous isolation of earbuds (which are also illegal while riding in a number of states and parts of Australia and Canada).
Priced at only $29.95, the foxL BKMT-2 Bike Mount Kit works with any foxL speaker model, including the both original foxLs, foxLv2 Bluetooth, foxLv2 (non-Bluetooth), and foxLv2 PLATINUM models.  With major improvements in cost and functionality from the previous foxL bike mount, the new two piece foxL Bike Mount Kit now utilizes Arkon’s popular Dual T-tab mounting, making its cradle easy to remove from the bike and compatible with a range of other Arkon mounting options.  In addition, the foxL mount now uses “biking-standard” Allen bolts for its mounting hardware.
 

“When TIME magazine named foxL a Top 10 Gadget of the Year, they applauded both its amazing sound and on-road application and we’ve since had lots and lots of customers ask us about using their foxL for biking, both for music AND as a speakerphone,” said Lee Adams, Vice President, Soundmatters International, Inc.  “Now with the foxL BKMT-2 Bike Mount Kit, we have the functionality and pricing for every biker to mount the foxL on their bike.”  

foxL is World’s Only Pocket-sized HiFi Speaker & Speaker Phone for Audio Purists  

The perfect travel companion, foxL is both a speakerphone AND the first pocket-sized wireless speaker that audio purists will love, with a range of unique sound features, such as foxL’s patented “Twoofers,” “BassBattery,” and other technologies.  foxL provides amazingly smooth deep bass and an “open & airy” listening experience that provides iPhones, iPads, Android and Blackberry phones, and other Bluetooth devices with the superior sound quality they desperately need to enjoy a portable music and movie experience to the fullest.   

Pricing & Availability

 

Priced at $29.95, the foxL BKMT-2 Bike Mount Kit Universal Bicycle Mount is immediately available from Soundmatters.com, Amazon.com, Listenup.com, select bicycle shops nationwide, and more; and in Canada at Audiobasics.com.  It includes the handlebar mount, removable foxL speaker cradle, and hardware with Allen tool.  The foxLv2 speakers are sold separately, priced from $149-$229.
