9/19/2023 0 Comments Game golf swing analyzer![]() ![]() Stewart is a UK brand, the same place golf itself comes from, and the place where walking is still the norm. That’s where the luxury of the Stewart Golf Q Follow comes in. But a lot of people don’t walk because they don’t want to carry their bag. If you don’t ride in a buggy, a round of golf is a great workout, and walking will help Dad stay healthy. Robo-Caddie: Golf is a walking sport, and the game returned to its roots during the pandemic as people sought to get more exercise. The motorized Q Follow from Stewart Golf is Dad's ultimate luxury - a robotic caddie that follows. You just put it on the ground behind your tee and hit balls and it measures your swing speed, smash factor, ball speed, launch angle, spin speed, carry distance, total distance, angle of attack, club face angle, club path angle and more. The R10 is the size of a smartphone and comes with a little tripod. Garmin has long been the leader in golf course GPS and mapping and is the gold standard in aviation navigation technology, so I trust their technology. Suddenly it’s common to go to the driving range and see people hitting balls in front of their own personal launch monitors. But in the past few years this tech has been slimmed down, and made much more portable and much less expensive. Garminīetter Practice: Not that long ago if you wanted to actually measure the physics of your swing and ballfight, you needed to go to a specialized golf academy or performance center with a four-figure dollar launch monitor. The Garmin Approach R10 is an accurate, high-quality, affordable and extremely portable radar launch. And you can also make it fit almost any budget. So, when you give the gift of a custom fitting or custom clubs, via gift card, Dad can redeem it a shop of his choice, all over the country, on his own schedule, and for exactly what he wants. ![]() I might not have even thought of getting them, but now I hit them straighter, higher, generate more backspin stopping power when I hit the green - and each iron is more than two full clubs longer.Īll that just from being fitted. I just switched from Taylor Made to Honma irons after a session with Club Champion, and while Honma is a well-respected high end Japanese brand, it’s pretty niche in this country, and not something you’d find at most golf superstores. The company claims that their fitting process adds 20-plus yards on average, and while that sounds too good to be true, it is exactly what I experienced. They have removable heads so they can change angles and lofts and shafts on the fly, and you keep hitting and measuring and dialing it in until its perfect - for you. They have tested each club on a swing robot to determine its characteristics under different circumstances, and when your swing is analyzed, the computer matches you with the best fits for your game. Some customers just go for the fitting and take the data with them and don’t buy clubs at all. ![]() But besides great tools and great fitters, the big plus is that Club Champion is “brand agnostic.” They carry just about every widely available brand of golf clubs, big and small, and they don’t care which you buy. I’ve been, and checked it out firsthand and the staff is super knowledgeable. ![]() The best option on the market is Club Champion, a national chain of high-tech fitting studios that has the market power to invest in the best ball flight monitors and analysis hardware, the best software, even a high-tech putting lab for putter fittings. That’s why it’s much better to be fitted by a veteran clubfitter or PGA teaching pro than a guy who happens to work in a sporting goods store. Also, there is still a human component to the process, interpreting the data in a way the make sense and drilling down in testing to get the optimum result. The problem is that both club companies, who often offer fitting services, and stores, want to fit you for what they sell, even if it’s not the best fit for you. Even big box sporting goods stores can do a degree of analysis and custom fitting. But today, the immensely improved technology needed to analyze your swing and recommend the right brand and model of head that will work best for you, the right shaft and stiffness, the correct lie and loft angles, the toe/heel weighting, and the combination of all these things for your angle of attack, smash factor, swing speed, height and hand size is now widely available. Flight and distance were observed solely by eye. Get Fitted: Custom club fitting was once the province of Tour players and members of expensive private clubs, When I had my first fitting two plus decade ago, the technology involved was putting impact tape on the club face and observing by the mark left behind where on the face the ball was hit. ![]()
