February 9 - Don't Sweat It
Does that four foot putt for birdie make your knees quake and palms sweat? We haven’t found anything for the shaky knees yet, but now there’s a solution for the sweaty palms. Tite Grip, (www.handssweatnomore.com) is an amazing solution that brings dryness where you need it most: Your grip.
Apply a small amount of Tite Grip to your hands, rub them together, and instantly moisture will be drawn away. After a brief period when they feel a little sticky, your hands will become dry and stay dry. Ever put gymnast chalk or talcum powder on your hands? Tite Grip gives your hands the same sensation, without the powdery mess.
Whether you play golf, baseball, tennis, or any other sport where dry hands mean a better grip and more success, or you just want to shake the boss’s hand without watching him wipe it on his trousers, keep a tube of Tite Grip handy and victory will never slip through your grasp.

Mar 12 - Twist and Stroke
Want to make your tennis partner wonder how you stayed so sharp in the off-season? Before you get back out on the court for the first time this year, sneak out alone with Tennis Twist. Made by the people at Sports Tutor, (www.sportstutor.com), Tennis Twist is the most lightweight, portable and inexpensive electronic ball machine you can find. It is simple to use and shoots a ball every five seconds. The arc can be adjusted anywhere from 12 to 20 feet in length, and the unique spiral design holds up to 28 balls. Tennis Twist is available in AC and a battery-powered model, which will operate up to ten hours on six "D" batteries. If you have young, baseball-playing kids, you could even use it to pitch batting practice with tennis balls.
This machine is durable and can stand up to years of use. Which is probably a good thing, because as dominant as you’ll become using the Tennis Twist, it might be the only partner you can find.

Jan 3 - Serious Racquet for Casual Players
For a recreational racquet, it would be hard to beat the Prince Synergy OS. (www.princetennis.com) While probably not for the serious player, the Powerline technology delivers more than enough consistency and punch for the casual weekend whacker at a price anyone can afford. It has two lines of reinforcement to generate greater power in a lightweight frame. If you’re just taking up the game, or even if you’d like to get a good starter racquet for the kids, give the Synergy a try. And while the Synergy might not match up stroke for stroke with those $270 racquets, chances are you’re not going to beat the guy who pulls one of those out of his bag anyway.
