Summer is upon us. Here’s a guide to gear for baseball, golf, running and more.
Billed as the “most iconic mitt in professional baseball,” the All-Star Pro Elite Catcher’s Glove is also perfect for the serious amateur player, whether it be a men’s leaguer, a high schooler or a youth ballplayer who is dedicated to his craft.
FestaSports' skorts, made in Colorado, are created with movement -- and size inclusivity -- in mind. Courtesy FestaSports The skort is one of humankind’s greatest inventions — it’s versatile, comfortable and perfect for movement of all kinds, from pickleball to hiking or just a brisk walk on a hot day. Littleton-based FestaSports agrees.
With a motto of “activewear for every body,” this Colorado company developed a sporty skort made especially for tennis and pickleball with options for a skort optimized for golf, hiking and beyond. Sizes range from XS to 3X, and these skorts come in a ton of patterns and custom options.
Here’s the golf accessory you didn’t know you needed: a magnetic towel clip for your golf bag. A friend gave me one last season and it quickly became one of those things that everyone who sees me use it suddenlyA small caribiner hooks onto your golf bag. Hanging from it is a mini-golf-ball-shaped magnet.
The bottom half of the “ball” is attached to another small caribiner, onto which your towel hooks. Need to wet your towel before a match? Just pull the halves of the metal ball apart and, voila, the towel slips off without fuss.
Snap it back on and you’re quickly off in search of that elusive birdie. Find one version of it for $14.99 atI’m a big believer in shopping local, where the employees are experts on the goods they sell. This applies to Road Runner Sports, where the person helping you pick out a running or walking shoe is also a runner.
Quality, well-fitted shoes are important in preventing injury, so even if the pair you choose costs $10 to $20 more than what you would find at a big-box retailer, it’s still cheaper than a visit to an orthopedic clinic. Road Runner Sports has multiple locations across the Front Range, including Denver, Lakewood, Golden, Westminster and Lone Tree.
Billed as the “most iconic mitt in professional baseball,” this glove is also perfect for the serious amateur player, whether it be a men’s leaguer, a high schooler or a youth ballplayer who is dedicated to his craft. The best catcher’s glove that money can buy, its pocket is true and its premium-grade Japanese steerhide leather stands the test of time. A must-have for all backstops.
If you want a new tennis racquet or pickleball paddle, head to this local store to get expert guidance on what will work for your style of play. Here, you can test equipment by hitting balls against a wall inside the store. Once you narrow your choices to two or three racquets or paddles, Game-Set-Match allows its customers to put down a deposit and take those racquets home for one week to test on an actual court.
Once you pick a favorite, the deposit applies to the purchase price after returning everything. This assures athletes get the racquet or paddle that will elevate their games. Game-Set-Match Inc. has two locations: 2480 S. Colorado Blvd. in Denver and 4800 Baseline Road, Suite D102, in Boulder. Most men's baseball leagues are wood bat, so you'll need a reliable stick.
Haag Bat Company should be your choice. Most men’s baseball leagues are wood bat, so you’ll need a reliable stick. Haag Bat Company should be your choice. The company started in Parker about a quarter-century ago and has been making high-quality, handcrafted wood bats ever since.
Their composite bats pack pop and are extremely durable, breaking far less than the average wood bat. How many pairs of golf gloves do you go through in one season? One of these Kirkland brand gloves, made from “premium Cabretta leather,” typically lasts me a full year — playing once or twice a week in season — and then some. With four in a package, it’ll typically be a while before I have to dip in for a new pair.
Pickleballs eventually crack or just wear out from getting pounded onto concrete. And we all know how plastic never breaks down in a landfill. Why not love both the game and the planet by using biodegradable balls? Komodo both make balls that meet the official standards of USA Pickleball. Also available at local retail stores, like Game, Set, Match. —
