Never loose your golf ball

The Prazza Golf Ball Finder handset locates a connected Prazza golf ball within seconds, in the deepest rough or thickest forest. It will change the way you play golf – and will make every round more enjoyable. The Prazza handset has an effective range of up to 100 metres. The ball can be hit with more confidence – because you’ll know you can find it again. Each Prazza Golf Ball Finder comes with a set of high-performance, micro-chipped Prazza golf balls.

The 33-in-1 Golf Club

This is the golf club that adjusts to 33 different loft angles, enabling you to carry more than twice the number of allowable clubs in one hand. A gear system inside the heel tilts the clubhead in 1/2-loft increments, allowing golfers to choose from five putters, two drivers, three fairway woods, 14 irons, or nine wedges with the twist of a dial. The club has the look and feel of a classic iron but its adjustable head quickly transforms it from a 64º super lob wedge for carrying bunkers to a perfectly vertical putter for saving par. Unlike a golf bag that requires an additional fee when flying, the club retracts to 19″-long to enable free, convenient transport in a suitcase. The clubhead is made from 17-4 stainless steel–the same durable material used in professional metalwoods–and the shaft and clubhead lock into place to provide the same feel and response as a traditional club.
