SkyCaddie Launch SkyPro – A New Swing Analysing Device

SkyCaddie has unveiled the SkyPro, a device they are calling golf’s most powerful portable swing analyser and training tool.

With SkyPro, golfers can learn incredible amounts of detail about every swing they make, whether on the golf course or a bay at the driving range.

The device weighs less than 30g, is about the size of a USB stick and attaches easily to the shaft of any golf club just below the grip.

All you need to do is open the free SkyPro app on your phone, and balance the phone on your clubface to ‘pair’ the club with SkyPro. Then remove the phone, and simply swing the golf club. You don’t even need to switch SkyPro on.

The device instantly sends thousands of critical data points about your swing path, clubhead speed, swing tempo, clubface rotation, shaft angles and much more via Bluetooth to the SkyPro app.

This way you can view every swing you make during a practice session, from address back to impact from any angle in true 3D high-definition.

The real game-changer in SkyPro is its unique Groove and Practice feature which provides instant feedback on successful swings, giving a golfer instant ‘Alerts’ after every swing which identify the most common faults.

SkyPro also offers fun challenge sessions to correct swing flaws, helping golfers to learn how to correct their faults, and as a result to hit the ball longer, straighter and more consistently than ever before.

The device also includes expert practice tips from leading instructors, such as acclaimed teacher Hank Haney, who said: “SkyPro will change the way teachers help golfers to improve. Repeating bad swings only grooves a bad swing, but with SkyPro golfers can see flaws instantly, and discuss them with their golf coach.

“With SkyPro golfers will no longer groove their faults when their instructor is not around. It’s like having a personal swing coach everywhere you go, so your time on the range is spent building good habits and a repeatable golf swing – just the way your coach wants you to swing.”

SkyPro’s powerful 3D inertial motion sensors capture up to 100,000 data points from address to impact. Playbacks of captured swings are displayed in vivid high-definition on a golfer’s smartphone. SkyPro features an ultra-high-speed capture rate of up to 3,200 samples per second, providing much more accurate swing data than typical video cameras capturing at 24-60 frames per second.

Without pushing buttons or forcing a change in your pre-shot routine, SkyPro automatically captures information such as:

• Clubhead speed
• Swing path
• Clubface rotation and angle at address and impact
• Shaft angle at address and impact
• Swing plane
• Backswing length and swing tempo

Golfers can replay every swing in a choice of views including face-on, down-the-line and from above, and the powerful, free SkyPro smartphone app provides a wide range of other intuitive ways to see, groove and improve your golf swing, including:

• Views from any angle in true 3D
• Zoom and Rotate features, for close-up analysis
• Playback in real-time, half-speed, and quarter-speed with fingertip control
• Store thousands of your golf swings on your smartphone, and in the data cloud
• Tag your favourite golf swings – by club – for comparison and drills
• Synchronise and compare two stored swings on-screen, simultaneously
• Post swings on Facebook and Twitter, and share them with your golf coach

Challenging SkyPro ‘Groove Sessions’ help you to correct swing faults, and custom-selectable goals and challenges help you to measure your progress. Thousands of your golf swings can be stored on a smartphone or in your personal data cloud for more detailed analysis.
