RIDGELAND, Miss., January 16, 2015… SkyGolf®, maker of the #1-Rated and Most-Trusted Rangefinder in Golf, announced today it will be participating in the PGA 2015 Merchandise Show January 21 through January 23 in Orlando, Fla. where it will display, at Booth #1301 in the Orange County Convention Center, its completely new and expanding portfolio of products designed to help golfers score better and improve their games both on and off the course.
At the center of all SkyGolf products is its new SkyGolf 360 architecture providing unmatched connectivity for golfers to upload performance data about their game to the SkyGolf 360 Cloud and then access such information for analysis, tracking progress and sharing successes via popular social networks. Each new SkyGolf product is engineered to connect wirelessly to the SkyGolf 360 Cloud via smartphones and tablets with a new SkyGolf 360 App provided for Free to each member of the SkyGolf community of passionate golfers.
The SkyGolf family of products includes a complete line up of rangefinders for improvement on the course by providing a choice of format, size and price points to accommodate the preferences of any golfer. For golf course play and off-course analysis, a new game tracker solution is being announced with enhanced GPS accuracy that is fully integrated to use RFID tags on golf clubs with a full-featured mobile rangefinder app using the brilliant HD golf course maps from SkyCaddie’s unmatched library of 35,000 error-corrected golf courses.
For game improvement on the practice range, the office or at home, the SkyGolf line-up includes SkyPro, golf’s most powerful and accurate swing analyzer that now includes putting with support for both iOS and Android smart devices. In addition, the SkyTrak Personal Launch Monitor providing a complete at-home practice, play and entertainment system will be introduced.
The Cloud-based SkyGolf 360 architecture provides golfers the connectivity not only to download the latest updates on golf course maps individually and their own performance statistics, but also receives performance data collected from all SkyGolf products related to their golf swings, practice sessions and on-course play via simple Bluetooth connection to most popular smartphones eliminating the need to use a wired connection to a computer.
Included in the enhanced rangefinder line up is the new full-featured SkyCaddie Touch with a brilliant 3″ HD color display and the new budget priced small format Aire II. For those preferring a watch format, SkyCaddie is offering its SkyCaddie LINX with Bluetooth connectivity providing all the features of other watches but at a much better price. All SkyCaddie rangefinders provide the accuracy golfers can trust and are preloaded with SkyCaddie’s proprietary library of 35,000 courses corrected for errors known to be inherent in all other competitor libraries.
The new SkyCaddie TOUCH comes preloaded with 35,000 “best-in-class” courses, ready-to-play, worldwide and is Bluetooth-enabled. The TOUCH features a 3″ hi-resolution, sunlight readable, color touch display that amplifies the superiority of SkyCaddie’s preloaded maps over its competition. When paired with our new SkyGolf 360 mobile app, golfers can use Bluetooth to upload scores and stats and download course updates “onDemand” via most Smartphones including iOS and Android without finding a cable. The onDemand feature delivers enhanced HD course data unmatched by any other rangefinder and keeps course maps updated with the very latest changes that are missed or delayed with preloaded course databases. The precision and high-definition details of SkyCaddie course maps allow golfers to use a new “precision zoom” feature to magnify any area of the course without losing details and readability.
SkyCaddie LINX is a fashion-flexible, multi-functional sport watch for time, golf and fitness that comes preloaded with 35,000 high-precision, error-corrected golf courses to provide superior performance on the golf course. The new SkyCaddie LINX watch features a very clear, high-definition, sunlight-readable display with both positive and negative polarity to make it the most readable watch on the market. The LINX is Bluetooth-enabled and when paired with the NEW complimentary SkyGolf 360 app, golfers can upload scores and stats to SkyGolf 360 Cloud for fast and easy review of their rounds without a cable. The Bluetooth connectivity also makes it easy to keep the LINX up-to-date with the latest error-corrected course updates onDemand to avoid the obsolescence of preloads. Using golf’s only ground-verified precision course maps, the LINX provides dynamic distances to the front, center and back of the green, as well as provides TrueGround layup targets from the tee box through the entire hole with no annual fees required. Other advanced game improving features are also available via upgrades.
The ultra-light, compact SkyCaddie AIRE II comes loaded with stroke-saving features and is ready-to-play with over 35,000 preloaded courses and no annual fees required. Using golf’s only ground-corrected precision course maps, the SkyCaddie AIRE II provides dynamic, accurate distances to the front, center and back of the green with large, easy-to-read numbers. It also provides a TrueGround® fairway target and layup targets in to the green with no annual fees required. Other advanced game improving features are also available via upgrades.
Also, to be announced at the Show for on course play, is the SkyGolf GT1 Game Tracker solution that provides unmatched GPS accuracy when integrated with its SkyCaddie Mobile Rangefinder for use on smartphones. The system includes the SkyGolf GT1, a highly-accurate, wearable GPS and RFID sensor and featherweight tags that the golfer attaches to the grip end of each club. Designed as a complete system, the SkyGolf Game Tracker provides both the distances you need while playing but also easily captures the club used, distances and the location of each shot. During the round, golfers can quickly review their shots in real-time and get critical distance information via SkyCaddie Mobile Golf GPS app.
Each captured shot is also sent automatically to the SkyGolf 360 Cloud to eliminate connecting to a computer after the round. So, tracking the club used, distance and location of each shot has never been easier or more reliable. From the SkyGolf 360 Cloud, your results are immediately available for sharing with friends, family or your golf professional in real time or any time after the round. It’s basically a ShotLink for recreational golfers with its game changing technology that allows friends, family and coaches to follow you as you play a round of golf.
The SkyTrak Personal Launch Monitor is a complete Practice, Play and Entertainment System for golf at home. SkyTrak accurately captures thousands of data points from a golfer hitting balls with their own clubs into a net at home to simulate practice and play as if you were on the course or practice tee. The accuracy of SkyTrak, heretofore only available from launch monitors costing thousands more, enables it to simulate the golfers real performance so the game at home will be the same game, shot shape and distance that will appear at the course. Data around club performance, carry distance, club gapping and much more are stored in and accessible from the SkyGolf 360 Cloud.
