Swing Wizzard.

Keith Rogers was bent on improving his golf game in winter 2008 when "an epiphany" struck. "I grabbed a couple of clubs and some duct tape from the garage," says Rogers, "and made the first prototype."

By summer 2009, Rogers and neighbor/golfing buddy/business partner Jim Peaslee had refined the prototype and sold their first Swing Wizzard. Featuring club heads on either end of the shaft, the patent-pending Wizzard helps users zone in on their own specific swing planes. "It's not designed to strike balls," says Rogers. "It's designed for you to work on your fundamentals."

The average user can cut six to eight strokes from their score by practicing with the Wizzard, Rogers says. $149.99 retail.
