The new iPING 2.0 putter app provides authorized PING club fitters and retailers a precise and easy-to-use a tool to ensure golfers experience a tour-level putter fitting from golf’s leader in custom fitting. The patented technology measures and analyzes five key performance indicators in the putting stroke; 1) closing angle; 2) impact angle; 3) tempo; 4) lie angle and 5) shaft lean. These stroke metrics, combined with detailed input from the golfer, are analyzed by a proprietary fitting algorithm which recommends the proper stroke type, length, loft, lie and weight for a PING putter. The iPING 2.0 app offers five modes: 1) Guided Fit: Club fitting professionals recommend putter specifications by considering a variety of metrics; wrist-to-floor measurements, posture, gripping style, miss tendencies, green speed and speed performance in conjunction with hitting five (5) 10 ft. putts. In this mode, putter comparisons can also be made and quantified. 2) Single Putt: Club fitting professionals recommend putter specifications by capturing three (3) 10 ft. putts. Ideal for golf shop settings and quickly classifying a player’s Stroke Type. 3) Practice session: Allows club fitting and teaching professionals to measure single-stroke metrics during a putting lesson. 4) Live Loft and Lie: Allows club fitting and teaching professionals to measure loft and lie in real-time. 5) Co-Pilot Mode: Using PING Co-Pilot on the computer, tablet, or mobile device, this mode will allow fitters to seamlessly pair iPING on iOS to PING Co-Pilot for a new and updated putter fitting experience. At this time, the iPING 2.0 app is intended for use by authorized PING retailers and club fitters only. All technical support and availability of accessories will only be available to authorized PING club fitters and retailers.

TrackMyGolf delivers a golf swing analyzer right on your wrist. Watch your golf swing at up to 100 samples per second, as captured by the built-in motion sensors of your Apple Watch. There’s no extra hardware to buy (similar products sell for up to $150). An Apple Watch is required in order to capture your golf swing analysis. TrackMyGolf Golf Swing Analyzer Features: - Find out your golf swing power and speed measured in MPH (speed measured is hand swing speed, not club head speed) - Visualize your golf swing form in 3D - Rotate view in any direction to look at your golf swing from any angle - Up to 100 samples/second so that you can see details no human eye can capture - A number of data reported including hand swing speed, tempo, swing plane, impact angle, swing path, grip angle, and golf swing power. - Swing data stored in the cloud so that you can revisit at any time - No Internet connection required during swing. Your golf swing analysis saved to cloud when the phone is connected to the Internet later. - Support both left-handed & right-handed golfer This golf swing trainer tool is extremely helpful in visualizing your arm movement through the swing. For example, you can visualize how your arm cross over through the impact zone. Another use of the Apple Watch golf swing reader, if you tend to cast early, you can visualize your arm pushing out and swinging outside in to compensate. Advantages compared to other golf swing analyzers on the market: - No hardware to buy, just use your Apple Watch. Other analyzers cost $150+ - No calibration, no set up. Start the golf swing trainer app and play. - No switching. No need to switch the sensor when you switch the golf club. - No extra weight. Nothing is attached to the shaft, so your golf swing power and form are never affected. You can even use it on the golf course to capture your game swings. Please make sure you sign in to iCloud on your phone. This app stores your swing in iCloud so that you can visualize it on phone and review later. Limitations: Because the sensor location is on your wrist, you will not see problems associated with your hand. For example, if you flip your hand or un-hinge too early, you will not be able to visualize the problem. However, a hand flip is usually a result of compensating for an early arm casting, so you can get a hint from your arm trajectory. We appreciate your feedbacks.
