We bought the worst-rated golf gadgets on Amazon — from the “perfect putting” laser glasses endorsed by pros, to a rope you’re apparently supposed to hit like a driver. Some of these devices claim to fix your slice, help your backswing, or add four extra yards with “robot-tested tees.” Others… well, let’s just say they might do more damage to your ego (and your grass) than good.
Each gadget got the full test: one beginner, one intermediate, and one pro golfer putting it through chaos-level trials. We read the most brutal one-star reviews out loud, swung until something broke (usually the product), and gave each a real rating based on effectiveness, build quality, and fun. From near concussions to miraculous flops, it’s the most brutally honest golf review you’ll see.
If you love seeing gimmicks get exposed, or you secretly hope one of them actually works, this video’s for you. Smash subscribe, drop your worst Amazon golf find in the comments, and if this video hits 20k likes — we’ll test your suggestion next (even if it’s a total disaster)

glasses that are supposed to make you putt perfectly according to Dustin Johnson. A limp golf club and a golf ball on a string. I don’t know why. Starting with swing away golf aid for drivers and irons. It’s literally a ball on a rope. I don’t know who came up with this or what the use is at all, but it’s a really long green rope that looks ridiculous. There is literally a review that says, “Very disappointed. I paid $50 for this product and it didn’t come with the ball or the rope. Honestly, ours did come with the ball and did come with the rope, so we’re already off to a good start. This one says, “Great idea, but it doesn’t work.” This one says, “Do not buy.” In all uppercase, Ryan Kelly clearly does not like this product. A little too late. We bought it. Says, “I would give zero stars if I could.” Kind of like the equivalent of a net where you hit into the net in the backyard, except it’s with a rope. So, they thought they were coming up with a different idea as opposed to a Is that swing looking pure or what? Yeah, sure. It has a crisp voice. So, let’s see how far it goes. Driver, it’s looking pretty pure. Wow. I’m wondering if the rope snaps. I’m wondering if this is going to come right back. Let’s go right there, Gabby. Yeah. Oh my god, you’re so true. What the heck? Just like whack it like Yeah. I’m whacking this as hard as I can. Can I hit it? Yeah. Go. Wow. Wow. He div he made a divot 4 in before the ball on a driver. Wow. Matt, I do not like this at all. I do not. No, that’s horrible. Smacking your face. Yeah, I’m not a fan. I’m going to give it a one and a half stars because if I’m going to buy this, I would have just bought a net in the backyard to hit shots with. There’s no use for it and it tears up the grass. What about you? I think I’m going to give it a one star cuz like I almost hit the thing out of the thing. I’m I almost hit this thing out of the grass. I feel like that wouldn’t help anything. Uh I rate this a one star cuz everyone else rated it a one star. So he didn’t even hit it. He just just saw that it sucked. It took more time to set up than we actually hit it. On to the next one. This is not very good. All right, so next we got the hanger. It says practice with a purpose. This one looks like really complicated. Looks like a pizza box on you. Yeah, it looks like a pizza box. I don’t know what this is. What the hell is this? I think it’s supposed to promote like shallow. Uh, so Thomas one star review this promotes shanks and poles. A ton of one-star reviews on this, but there’s also 1,100 reviews on Amazon on this product. So, a lot of people have used it before, but it doesn’t have the best reviews. Says promote shanks and poles, one star. Impossible to use your club when attached. One star. There’s actually a ton of one-star reviews, but we’re going to try it. I think it’s supposed to make you have the perfect back swing, but we’ll see. Tony says, that’s you. That’s your name. It’s your name. It’s a one star. And he says, uh, not user friendly. It wasn’t very sturdy and easy to use. He put two ends, so I don’t think he knows what he’s talking about. Another one. Richard K from Chicago says, “Gimick, classic, and overpriced.” I mean, it was $79. So, that is pretty expensive for this piece of plastic because like Oh, maybe that’s it. Maybe this is it. Just so you know, this box comes with no instructions. So, that’s not helpful at all. There we go. I see what they did there. You know what? Uh, it looks very complicated like like Richard said, but um looks very interesting. Actually, something Antonio has which is really good is he has a perfect swing plane. So, this for you should be great. This is great. I love Oh my gosh, I gotta hit one. I love this. I am shocked right now. I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this because this whole time I thought we were hitting this way, but okay. You like it or I do. Oh, that’s perfect. One, that is perfect. You can’t club twirl, though. Real quick, guys, I want to talk to you guys about David. David, thank you for sponsoring this video. If you guys know, I love protein bars. You probably have heard me talk about them before. The reason that David is the best out there, not only because it tastes amazing, but it has the best calorie for protein ratio out there. 75% calorie for protein ratio, which is 28 g of protein, only 150 calories with zero grams of sugar. That is literally incredible. No other protein bar does that out there. Whether you’re looking for a snack on the golf course like me or you work out a lot like me or you’re just looking for something that’s healthy and good, this is the best. You will love it. Just trust me. Try it out. Everyone’s been getting them recently. If you want to get yourself some David, scan the QR code right here or click the link in the description. Genuinely the best snack bar out there. Back to the video. And it’s not going to go as far because it didn’t take it the club back as far, but here we go. The negative review I would have is because of it, you can’t put a club twirl at the end. That’s going to take off at least the star for me. So, the purpose of this is supposed to make it perfectly on plane. So, your back swing is perfect. So, take a practice swing. Go up to the top. See, that’s looks really good. By the way, guys, he’s a beginner golfer. He’s He’s a beginner. I’m a pro. She’s a My god, you’re an average. Not even a pro. He’s intermediate. He’s a beginner, but but he and just say this is this is not my hand, guys. Oh, yeah. And he’s also a lefty. So Oh, yeah. He’s a lefty. He’s a lefty. Lefties. It looks the same. Antonio, it looks the same swing. I think he’s I’m a Jeepardist. Oh my gosh. Amidist. All right, let’s see. Yeah, that was my practice swing. Oh, you got it. Nice. I like it. I love this thing. Get more. All right. So, now we got the we got the Tor Pro up. You got it. Nice. It fixed to slice 5%. You still sliced it. At least I got it on the green. You didn’t get it on the green. I got two shots. No. Yeah. Let me restart mine. Yeah. Yo yo bro, the green’s over there. I’m going to give this four stars. But the reason that I’m not going five star is because one, it’s really heavy. And two, you can’t club twirl at the end. And that makes a really big difference cuz it gets like locked up. You you’d have to drop it like this and it’s really uncomfortable. Also feel like it’s going to snap on the way through. So, and it’s super heavy at the top. So, I wouldn’t actually use this on the golf course or even practice. I think I’m going to give it like a seven about. I think I’m going to give it like a six or a seven. I I really like that. It’s out of five. So, you can’t use that joke. What do you mean? We’re doing It’s not a joke. What? What’s that? Oh, it’s out of five. It’s out of five. You can’t use We’ll give it like a four five. We’ll give it like a 41. 4.3, but it like messed up my swing and it made me slice again. All right, so we got the next one here. As you can see on my eye, it’s like goggles and they’re rated by just Dust Justin Thomas and Dustin Johnson. Dustin Johnson. Dustin Johnson. My bad. Have I I’ve met him before, right? He’s a cool He’s a cool dude, I think. I I don’t remember. I was I didn’t have a consciousness then. I was like a little baby. I was teensy. I’m just a baby. Yeah. You threw the football around with him. I guess I did. You were friends. He liked you. So this is my friend Dustin. Dustin Thomas. Oh my god. Hey. And so today we’re reviewing view reviewing his goggles. So shout out DG or DG. Is that what you call DJ? Shout out DJ. These are supposed to have a laser on them and like it’s supposed to make you It says here perfect putting. Now there are some Hey, knowing DJ, it’s probably perfect. Yeah, I really like him. So, I don’t want to give a bad review. That’s another thing. But I think that that’s not good because now I have this bias. I Antonio’s never met him. What do you think? You can put the laser on. Okay. You see the laser? Oh my goodness. So far, I don’t think you guys have made a No. No. I know. I know. I know. I’ll have to talk to DJ about this. Yes. It’s all in the way. You got to stand further away. Stand further away. Stand further away. So that your this red dot needs to be on the ball. On the ball. Keep it on the ball. Yes. Okay. Oh, get in the hole. Wow. I think my putting game has actually stepped up because of this thing. None. Great. If you’re actually looking cut that out, right? Wow. Oh my goodness. It’s perfect. Wow. He wasn’t shout out DJ. I’m gonna rate it uh I didn’t really like it cuz I can’t really keep my like head focused at the thing, but I’m going to rate it probably. I know. I’m going to rate it 4.5. Shout out DJ. When me connecting with the ball and having a a very mindful uh set of mind when putting, I like to keep my head straight and think when I’m hitting. Okay. Yeah, guys. I rate a one. Okay, next we have pocket bunker. I just want to read a few things off of the box. It says, “What do the players say? Five stars. Awesome. Beats the alternative.” Like, what’s the alternative? And who are the players? Are these players on the Pro Tour or these players that play golf? Like, honestly, I’m really skeptical of this. It looks like a an octopus. I mean, it’s really bad. Mike Nelson’s gave a one star. said, “Doesn’t come close to the same feel as a sandshot.” Well, that contradicts what the package said. Yeah. Jill outraged. I am embarrassed that I was foolish to spend this much money on a cheap plastic item. So there Oh, it’s actually $44, guys. Are you right, Jill? You right, Joe. Jill has a point. Why does that say SOS? It says SOS on the bunker image. Show. Okay. All that sand. I got two shots. All right, it through. All right, you got out. You’re supposed to hit under where the blue area is, but not too under I mean underneath. Hit like you’re hitting a bunk. I don’t know. That was a good shot. Wow. You know what? You stink. I feel like this is more of like a chip shot than like with the chipper instead of like a sand shot. Got to be Whoa, whoa, whoa. Do you think that actually I felt I felt the difference? What? Honestly, honestly, guys, honestly, put him on the PJ tour. I was going to give this product a one star, but after seeing Antonio’s amazing transformation, I’m going to give it 2.8. I still don’t really like it, but what would you I think I’ll give it a five. Wow. Way to go. Way to go. It transformed your golf game. I’m proud of you. Yeah, I really he could take He could take this golf to the next level. Now, I’m going to give mine a three. Three. Yeah, I agree. These TE’s are supposed to make you hit the ball four yards further. So, Michael and Antonio are going to go out onto the fairway and actually see if two T’s that are regular and two T’s with four yards more, which one actually goes further? Oh, I’m scared. I don’t think that’s going to end up well at all. So, we are going to laser them and see. These are regular 2T’s that are plastic. I do not believe that these actually give you four extra yards. Although, like it says it was robotic swing tests did, but like that’s a robot. That’s not a person. I don’t I don’t know. We’ll see. If it does like even three to seven yards, I’ll be shocked. All right. So, we got Gabby back there. Measure her shots. And what else are we doing? Oh, yeah. Yeah. So, I just live life. Mikey’s just a silly goose. I’m just a baby. And we’re going to set up the camera. Guys, I’m going to try and catch one. He’s going to try and catch one. The one-star reviews all say that it’s extremely pricey. It’s like $9 for four T’s. Now, they are plastic, so they should last you a while, but we’ll see if they actually last. Two T’s that are regular. Right now, see how far they go. Now, we are downwind, too. So, like I’m actually going to hit them way further. Let’s see how far they go. That one went around 235. Okay, one more shot without those TE’s. I feel like Antonio is trying to catch that ball. I know he is. I know that’s what he’s thinking. Wait, so I don’t see it. I’ve seen these before. I feel like I’ve seen them especially in junior golf tournaments. Like a lot of young kids will use them. Got to get those extra four yards when you’re that age. It’s like you’re looking for any anything to get you to hit a little bit further or play a little bit better. Oh, I don’t like that at all. I don’t don’t love this at all. This I feel like you’re sacrificing accuracy for even I don’t even know if you’re actually getting yardage, but it feels like you’re sacrificing accuracy no matter what. Yeah, guys, I really don’t like these TE’s. I hit that really good and I do not think it’s anywhere even near the fairway. Let’s Let’s figure out where they went. We’re going to go up there because I do not trust them to even have been watching the balls at all. I don’t even know if they know what time zone they’re in right now. Wrap your arms around. Now turn. What? Now start turning. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12. Stop. 13. Okay. 13 extra yards around. So, this that ball clearly went further with the four yards more product. I don’t think I got any accuracy. Like, it was way harder to control. So, I’m going to continue to stick to regular TE’s. But, if you actually do want regular, like if you actually want more distance, you should probably go with that. I’m gonna give it a 3.2 too cuz it actually did the job, but I definitely lost accuracy. Oh my, Antonio got it. The next product that we have is the swing jacket. Um, it comes in a nice little case. Here are like the green jacket. Not even close. According to these reviews, we’re not even on the same level. Football pads or something. James D said, “Do not spend your hardearned and then money signs monies. Do not spend your hard-earned money on this. Poor quality clips broke on vest. One star. This review says just the letter N and one star. Cheap. Do not buy. Honestly, there’s so many bad reviews of this. A lot of photos of like the quality and the seams becoming undone after use. A lot of one stars about that. Why would anyone use this more than That’s what I’m saying. Like we finally figured out how to get it on, but honestly, I was I was the only one that could get it on. It’s actually unbelievable what people will do to try and fix their swing and also what companies are taking advantage of golfers that are trying to fix their swing. But let’s see if it actually works. I Oh jeez. I am not able to function with this thing on. So I I guess it’s supposed to keep it locked together. So, it’s supposed to keep your arms together more. Oh, this is going to be horrible. Oh my guys, I don’t think I can swing in this. Excuse my bad shot. Yeah, not a fan. Definitely not a fan. No, no, no. Yeah. Nope. Was that bad? Have to loosen it. So, you put that on and then wait. Like this. And you turn it. You twist it. There we go. Did someone catch that? We did get that. Did you get that? Oh my gosh. Oh, this is I can’t even look. I can’t even go here. It’s for the old men swing. This the gutter swing. Now see if you could come here. Come here, guys. Let’s see if you’re strong enough to rip it. Like do a big big Okay, guys. This is my favorite golf product ever made. It helped me so much with my swing. The one thing I will tell you about this product, it will wear down within one day of using it and you have to buy another one. For the time that you use it, it’s great, but it breaks down so quickly it’s not even funny. But to be honest, I used it a ton. So one day for me would have been probably like two weeks worth for somebody else. But it is extremely helpful. And also the problem with it, like they actually slide in and out a lot while you’re swinging, which is annoying. But what it’s supposed to do is make you have the perfect back swing. I think I have to hold it with two hands. It’s the the the It’s the wrong way. It’s the wrong way. Yeah, you got it the wrong way. Okay. Here’s how you Here’s how you No, that’s No, no, no. That’s not how you use it. You’re supposed to So, this is the thing. It It moves so much. This is annoying because while you’re swinging it, it always moves. Supposed to have the perfect back swing at the top. And it really helps. It’s been a while since I used it, but it helped me so much. And one. And also, still works the same. It works so well. Rory actually uses this and it’s like, “Yeah, this thing is the best.” It’s actually his favorite quality thing right here. Rory uses It actually is his favorite golf tool. No, here. Wait. This is the problem. It always breaks like that. Here you go. Watch out, Tony. You’re in range. Yeah, I know what you’re doing. I’m not scared. He doesn’t blink. Wow. You have Okay, come further away. What the heck? He does not flinch. It’s like crazy one. Okay. So, you did it wrong because the ball went flying, but still it was a better shot. Another one. Try it. Yeah. Let me try regular. Come on. Got this. One more for Michael, then Antonio. You have to keep it together. You’re just coming out of the swing. Mike, stay down. Keep it together. Keep it together. Wait, it’s not even Yeah, it’s it’s Oh my god. Oh, this guy stinks. Take your hand. Take your [Music] Keep it together. Hold it together. You can’t You can’t let it go. See, he’s not used to doing that at all. But it went straight. Now hold it together. Whatever you do, hold that ball together. Try it again if you missed the ball. Thanks a lot, genius. That wasn’t bad. The green apple. I like green apple. I used to call it green apple. That’s why green apple. Cut the cameras. If you know, you know. If you know, you know. If you know, you know. I don’t know. So, I’m going to rate it uh 4.8. Okay. So, I rate this uh not even a one, like 0 and a half. I feel really uncomfortable using it. You know how to use it. is the best product ever. On to the next product. That was a good catch, right? All right, for the next one, we got this like the most anticipated one. Since you guys saw it in the intro, you were probably like, “What the hell is this? What the hell is this? What is this?” It’s kind of complicated, but when you get up to here, it goes like that. So, it means you got to have the perfect swing and go. If it if it breaks or falls apart, you have this wrong swing path. So if you hold the right swing path all the way to the end or if you if you well that was wrong if you personal space. All right. You have the wrong swing it breaks at the top. But if you have the right swing it stays together. So the only way you could All right. Let’s go. Wow. This is hard. Dang it. You go first. I got to figure it out. No, cuz you need to go like this. You need to open your club face up here. Okay. You’re right. Okay. Go. All right. Holy. Let’s see if you can actually hit a shot like this. That was good. Why? Why? How does Mikey do it and not us? I don’t know. I can’t do it. It’s like Oh, that was great. A little nervous actually. Yeah. Get out. That’s really hard for me. Honestly, that really means I don’t have the perfect swing. Let me try it again. One more time. A little better. So, uh, whoa. Oh my gosh. The little Wiggly thing. This was the one I introduced. I’m going to rate it a five. Not just not just cuz I introduced it because I hit it the furthest. It’s not the product’s fault. It’s me definitely on this one. So, I’m going to give it a 3.5. Floppy Joe over here. Floppy Joe. What are you rating it? Uh, like a five. Five. That’s too much. Like a one. You’ve only rated fives in one. Guys, thanks for watching. If you want to see more videos like this, comment down below.

I always thought a driving range should buy a bunch of these and rent them out.
If any of the 🇺🇸 Pros used any of these, no wonder they lost the Ryder Cup! 🇪🇺>🇺🇸
I can't tell you all how concerned I am for your futures maybe not you Gabby but these two boys oh my goodness they need so much help
4:09 Thanks for talking about me, and you're welcome 🙏
Gabby is such a beautiful young woman with such a great personality. She’s gonna do well in this industry.
Gabriella is so stoic that it’s impossible to stay straight faced when she laughs.
Great to see Gabby having fun and being a kid/young teenager. As we know boys will be boys.
Informative and truly fun to see.
Plenty of time to be an adult with adult problems. Being teenager flies by really quick. Enjoy while it lasts.
And thanks for the honest review. You really did try to use the products correctly and not treat them as a joke, but still had fun.
✌️⛳️😊❤️
16:00 🤦🏻♂️ WTF is that?
Would have been better if Gabby just reviewed these without these dudes who know apparently very little
Gabby, you are a much better influencer without the boys help. They did add lots of humor. Just ask Dustin Thomas.
Your friends have a great sense of humor , I actually like them . ❤
Better off using a coach
This was a fun video Gabby!
This was teenagers having fun and a knock around nothing to do with serious golf. Enjoy your young life Gabby and make a decision about your future. Try qualifying school to get onto the tour.
hi gabby, i stumbled upon an 11 year old golfer that kind of reminded my of you when i first started following when you were 14 (?). his name is william ratchford he's just starting an online presence. could you google him and perhaps reach out if it feels appropriate. the young man seemed so charming.
Gabby trying to keep these guys on task is like herding cats! LOL
