TruSwing golf sensor
Tru Swing is not the first golf sensor on the market but it is Garmin’s first attempt at quantifying golf swings. The light weight TruSwing (28 grams) clips to a golf club and transmits recorded data instantly to Garmin Connect which the user can then view on smart phone or tablet to see 3D animations.
Get access to information such as club path, face angle and shaft angle, shaft lean and swing tempo metric to fine tune and improve your swing over time.
Further more, users can side by side swing comparisons or overlay one swing over another for comparison. When connected to an Approach S6 watch, users can further access advanced swing animations such as wrist path data.
The Garmin TruSwing is compatible with Approach S20, S4, S5, S6, G7 and G8. It is available Q1 2016 at the RRP of $149.99.
