Amateur golfers are always looking for that edge to go pro. Whether it is wearing crazy golf hats, using better clubs or hiring a coach, they are always looking gain an advantage. While nothing can take the place of natural talent, there are devices that can help improve a player’s golf swing, which can help them become adept at the sport. In this case, it’s Zepp’s novel GolfSense device, which can help improve a golfer’s motion and lessen the urge of throwing those new clubs in a fit of rage after missing that crucial putt. The device attaches to a players glove and features an accelerometer that captures the users 3D swing data. That data entails the quality of the player’s swing, club speed, swing plane, tempo of the back swing/down swing and hip rotation. All of that data is sent immediately via a Bluetooth connection to any iOS or Android-based mobile device (where a beep sound signifies it has captured the data correctly), where the user can view all of that pertinent data and correct any issues they may have. A 3D representation of the player can be viewed showing the player’s swing and matches that with the user’s SwingScore, which allows players to set preconditioned goals of achievement. This allows players to gain an insight on what aspects of their swing they need to work on. According to some online reviews, the device works exceptionally well, however (like some software) the app tends to crash on occasion. Those looking to gain that extra edge over their opponents can get their hands on one for around $130, which is a small price to pay to gain that advantage.
