CHICAGO, Ill. (Aug. 15, 2013) – Swingbyte announced that Swingbyte 2, the second generation of golf’s most trusted mobile swing analyzer, is now available online and at select retailers in the U.S. and Canada. Swingbyte 2 builds on the original Swingbyte’s success with a redesigned lightweight sensor that is easier to attach and align.
In the new design, the center of gravity of the sensor and the club shaft are now aligned, providing enhanced stability on the club. A new latching mechanism makes attaching Swingbyte to any club faster, and a new alignment aid allows users to easily orient Swingbyte 2 for consistent data session to session. The new Swingbyte 2 sensor also features a lower profile, an electronic power switch and covert LED lights.
“The new sensor makes the entire user experience with Swingbyte even easier so golfers can improve faster,” said Brian Payne, a former PGA Professional and a Swingbyte co-founder.
Swingbyte’s namesake product, released in April 2012, was hailed by Golf Digest as one of the “12 Coolest Items” at the 2012 PGA Show. Since its introduction, a number of top 100 instructors, including Dr. Jim Suttie, Chris O’Connell, Brad Redding and Kevin Weeks, have joined Swingbyte’s professional advisory board.
Swingbyte also recently unveiled an enhanced 2.0 version of its free mobile app for iPad. New features include the ability to record in-app video that auto-trims unnecessary footage and synchronizes recorded swings to Swingbyte’s 3D visuals and data. Swingbyte now provides golfers and instructors with the unique ability to accurately track the body and club throughout the swing. Both the original model and Swingbyte 2 sensors are compatible with the recently released 2.0 software.
Swingbyte 2 weighs less than one ounce and attaches to any club just below the grip. As the club contacts a ball, the wireless sensor transmits a 3D digital version of the swing to the Swingbyte app. Digitized and video recorded images of the swing – along with measurements of club head speed, swing plane, face angle, loft and lie angles and tempo – can be viewed on smartphones and tablets during practice sessions and archived in the cloud for future reference.
Swingbyte 2 can be ordered through the company’s website, Swingbyte.com, and is also available at select AT&T Stores, Golfsmith, Golf Town, and Golf Galaxy locations. Swingbyte’s price of $149 includes the Swingbyte sensor, the free Swingbyte app and an online account at my.swingbyte.com, which includes additional analytics, community rankings and personal trends.
