Golf technology has been around for years, but new advances in modern GPS tracking systems have made working on your golf game easier than ever before. Take a look at how the latest tech could help you to improve your overall technique and scores, just in time for your 2019 golf rounds.
Help pinpoint the good, the bad and the downright ugly parts of your game using this incredible piece of tech. The latest Shot Scope features three unique tracking modes housed inside a stylish watch design, offering wearers the perfect blend of style and function.
Specifically designed for golfers looking to get GPS distances and performance stats from the same device, the Shot Scope V2 will discreetly track your shots during a round and provide detailed analysis of your game that’s easy to understand.
To get the most out of the V2, simply tag each of your golf grips with the 20 tags provided. Turn on your smart phone and make sure your Bluetooth is enabled. With thousands of courses available worldwide, choose the one you’re playing and head to the first tee wearing your watch. The LCD panel will display all the information you need, including the par for the hole and distance.
With three modes available to choose from, the V2 can be used as a simple GPS, a simple shot tracker (Pro mode) or a combination of both. Use the info collected throughout your rounds to see where your game needs improving. Review hole by hole, shot by shot or look at each element of your game including driving, approaching or short game.
For those of us who can’t afford a mega-expensive launch monitor, the Swing Caddie will be your absolute saviour. This impressive bit of tech is about as big as a smart phone and will allow you to get instant feedback of your golf stroke.
Whether you’re taking it to the range or practicing in the backyard, the SC200 Pro Edition will provide you with accurate information from each and every swing, measuring carry distance, swing speed, ball speed and smash factor. The device also features a Distance Voice Output, as well as a Selectable Loft Angle.
The standalone monitor comprises three modes: Practice, Target and Random and will provide stats for each club. With no additional fees or hidden costs, the SC200 Pro Edition offers golfers an affordable option for tour-grade technology.
If you like the sound of the SC200, you will go crazy for the newer SC300. Building on from its previous model, Swing Caddie’s newest addition to its portable launch monitor family, provides users with uncompromising precision.
The SC300 uses the latest in Doppler radar technology and calibrating atmospheric pressure sensors, to give golfers the complete swing and ball flight metrics that can be found in a professional launch monitor. The device connects directly to your phone or tablet via Bluetooth, allowing golfers to track their real-time, integrated data like never before.
Not only does this incredible piece of tech display your swing speed, smash factor, ball speed and carry distance, it now also tells you the apex (highest point of your golf ball’s trajectory) of each shot. Knowing every aspect of your swing can only help you to improve and hopefully begin to shave strokes off your score.
The latest advancement from tech giant, Garmin, is giving golfers the convenience of a golf handheld and radar all in one. Offering a premium handheld GPS, that also utilises the newest radar technology to easily track club head speed, ball speed, smash factor, swing tempo and estimated distance.
