Buffalo, NY. OnCore Golf is pleased to announce that it has completed its acquisition of the Golf Boost AI business from Golf Web Academy Inc. Since January, 2020, the two organizations have been working together to advance the artificial intelligence (AI) technology and ease of use of the Golf Boost AI app for Android and IOS platforms. Golf Web Academy has been pioneering AI-enabled swing analysis for ten years and analyzed over one million golf swings.
Golf Boost AI recognizes a golfer’s key swing positions, compares them to a Universal golf swing algorithm using the most advanced artificial intelligence video and image analysis software, and then creates a personalized lesson, with drills, to correct and improve the user’s swing. The technology received a US Patent in 2019 and has been widely viewed as the next breakthrough tool for golf instruction.
Jim McLean, one the most highly-regarded golf instructors in the world, and one of the early pioneers of the use of video for golf instruction and radar technology for swing analysis, commented: “I have watched this technology evolve over the past several years and what OnCore is bringing to the market will change how golfers will improve their swing between lessons or rounds of golf. Without requiring external, costly hardware or sensors and with the ability to film and analyze swings at home – with or without a golf club in hand – Golf Boost AI will make practice easier and more productive, leading to much more impactful lessons and lower scores on the course.”
Paul Jaure, the inventor of Golf Boost AI added: “Since we first began discussions with OnCore Golf in late 2019, it has been clear that there could not be a more enthusiastic, innovative, and supportive home for our technology. Keith Blakely, OnCore’s CEO, has made it clear that this is just the beginning of how artificial intelligence will be integrated into golf and we are already working on some very exciting extensions to Golf Boost AI that we will be introducing in the coming months.”
OnCore is making the app available at no cost for all Android and IOS phones with unlimited access to swing analysis, swing ratings, instructional tips, and lessons. www.golfboost.com
