Whether you are hitting balls at the driving range or just practicing your swing in the backyard, MyGolfStroke can improve your game. MyGolfStroke utilizes the power of the Apple Watch in conjunction with iPhone to give golfers visual feedback of club position at the most critical point in their swing: when the club contacts the ball. A golf shot simulation is also included to give information needed to help eliminate bad habits – or just fine tune good habits. This version of MyGolfStroke focuses on mid and short-range irons. Simply launch MyGolfStroke on your iPhone, select a golf hole and select a club. Then start MyGolfStroke on your Apple Watch and swing away. Data about your swing is processed in your iPhone and the results are presented visually and numerically.
