RIDGELAND, Miss., January 25, 2016… SkyGolf®, maker of the #1-Rated and Most-Trusted Rangefinder in Golf, announced today it will be participating in the PGA 2016 Merchandise Show January 27 through January 29 in Orlando, Fla. SkyGolf will be located at Booth #1301 in the Orange County Convention Center, where it will display its newest products designed to help golfers score better and improve their games both on and off the course.
SkyGolf, with its growing portfolio of innovative electronic (“e-golf”) products, is the only company in golf positioned to deliver game improvement solutions across the entire spectrum of e-golf products during practice, play, lessons and fittings both at the course or at home. Moreover, each product now enjoys simple wireless connectivity via a FREE app to collect and store critical performance data in its SkyGolf 360 Cloud Service and make it available instantly to the golfer, instructor or friends. Included in the industry’s broadest and most complete array of e-golf technology is: a new family of SkyCaddie® rangefinders in multiple formats and price points that are pre-loaded and ready-to-play with over 35,000 high-precision courses worldwide; SkyGolf’s new Real-time Game Tracking Solution in two formats including a rangefinder watch with RFID sensors and integrated mobile app; the award-winning SkyPro® Swing Analysis System; SwingLabs® Un-biased Club Fitting System; and the new and highly disruptive SkyTrak Launch Monitor that will immediately make golf simulation for practice, course play, and gamification affordable for most golfers for the first time.
At the center of all SkyGolf e-golf products is its new SkyGolf 360 architecture providing unmatched connectivity for golfers to collect and upload performance data about their game to the SkyGolf 360 Cloud and then access such information for analysis, tracking and sharing via 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 large 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. New products being introduced at the PGA Show include: the SkyCaddie LinxVue watch, which provides all the benefits and the convenience of a watch but overcomes the small display weakness of watches with the full screen functionality of SkyCaddie Mobile app running on a smartphone; The SkyCaddie LINX GT, golf’s first rangefinder and shot tracking watch with synchronized mobile app for golf course play and off-course analysis; and the SW2 Watch, the next generation of the popular SkyCaddie Watch with extended battery life and Bluetooth technology. All three watches are preloaded with SkyCaddie’s library of 35,000 error-corrected golf courses to deliver unmatched accuracy and reliability.
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 analyser, and the SkyTrak Personal Launch Monitor, a complete practice, play and entertainment system for golf at home. A highly-disruptive technology, SkyTrak will enable an affordable way for thousands of golfers to enjoy a simulated and authentic golf experience with commercial quality and accuracy that is perfectly timed and targeted at golfers who don’t have enough time to satisfy their passion for golf but still want to play and practice. In addition to its integration with the very popular WGT Golf, SkyTrak is previewing integration with three additional golf simulation partners – Perfect Golf, The Golf Club Game and TruGolf. With these additions SkyTrak now provides play on hundreds of stunning high-definition golf courses on multiple platforms to include iOS, Android and PCs.
The new SkyCaddie LINX VUE is the first GPS rangefinder watch to integrate and stay perfectly synchronized with the new SkyCaddie Mobile App to provide instant views of each golf hole when a golfer needs more details than a watch is capable of delivering. Also, the accuracy of the SkyCaddie’s GPS engine in the LINX watch replaces the location-based services in the smartphone to provide improved accuracy and save battery, too. With the watch and mobile app packaged together into one synchronized GPS solution, nothing on the market can provide both the detailed information from an app, the convenience of a watch and the accuracy needed to have a reliable distance measurement solution.
Another exciting new innovation in both the GPS watch category and the game tracking category is the SkyCaddie LINX GT GameTracker Watch. The LINX GT will differentiate SkyGolf from the watch competition, the game tracker competition, and the app competition by combining all three into one harmonious solution, bringing the best of all three into one product. This is another example of producing hybrid products from the individual products in SkyGolf’s large but compatible e-golf portfoliodeveloped recently to create more opportunities for golfers to improve and play better while leveraging the latest in technology.
The SkyCaddie SW2 Watch is the next generation of its bestselling SkyCaddie Watch. With a new slimmer, lightweight profile, 35,000 preloaded courses, Bluetooth technology, and no annual fees, this watch is ideal for golfers looking for quick, accurate distances to the front, center and back of the green. Bluetooth® Smart technology is built into the watch and when paired with the SkyGolf 360™ Mobile App, golfers can upload scores and stats to SkyGolf’s online community for fast and easy review of their rounds without a cable. The Bluetooth connectivity also makes it easy to keep the SW2 Watch up-to-date with the latest error-corrected course updates to avoid the obsolescence of preloads in competitive products.
In the game tracking category, SkyGolf has two new entrants. The SkyGolf GT2 Game Tracker is wearable on your belt to provide unmatched GPS accuracy when integrated with its SkyCaddie Mobile Rangefinder App. The system includes the SkyGolf GT2, 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 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 the SkyCaddie app.
The SkyCaddie Linx GT watch is actually three products in one: a highly reliable rangefinder watch with an integrated RFID sensor with swing detection sensors and integration to the best in class SkyCaddie Mobile Rangefinder App to deliver the best of all worlds. It’s the best GPS watch, the best game tracker and best app.
With either the SkyGolf GT2 or the SkyCaddie Linx GT, each captured shot is sent automatically in real time to the SkyGolf 360 Cloud to eliminate connecting to a computer after the round. 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 provides unmatched performance analysis while allowing anyone to follow you as you play a round of golf.
The SkyTrak Personal Launch Monitor delivers commercial quality ball flight simulations that reflect a golfer’s actual performance for game improvement and entertainment at a price far below comparable alternatives. In essence, SkyTrak has created a way for a golfer to take his or her passion past the 18th green with what may be best described as the XBOXR of Golf. Designed to deliver the reliability and accuracy of a professional launch monitor, SkyTrak will help golfers play better, play more and derive more enjoyment from the game. SkyTrak fits nicely into SkyGolf’s core values by delivering an accurate and realistic in-home golf experience that both entertains and makes you a better golfer.
SkyTrak recently completed the integration of WGT Golf, so now golfers can experience and test their skills on some of the world’s most famous 18-hole courses with their own clubs at their own pace. In addition to WGT, SkyTrak will be previewing integrations with several other golf simulators including Perfect Golf, The Golf Club Game and TruGolf. During the show, all qualified PGA Merchandise Show attendees who take part in a SkyTrak demo at the SkyGolf booth, will be entered into a drawing to win a SkyTrak Personal Launch Monitor valued at $1,995.00.
SkyGolf invites buyers and media to visit its booth #1301 to view and demo the complete line of SkyGolf products.
