Innovative mobile app now includes damage recognition and condition assessment.
Melbourne, Fla. – ScanMyGolfBall, the new revolutionary mobile app compatible with iOS and Android devices that can quickly scan and identify the proper golf ball for anyone’s game, announces the launch of the ScanMyGolfBall version 2.0, its largest update yet. In addition to further enhancing the industry’s most advanced ball recognition technology, this latest version can now assess a golf ball’s damage and condition to determine its performance ability
“We have been extremely pleased with how the new updates have performed and the positive feedback we are getting from users,” says app and company founder Tim Chase, who serves as CEO of SMGB Technologies. “While millions of golfers out there who purchase brand-name golf balls want a simple solution to determine which ball might be best for them, there are thousands of golfers who will play used or damaged golf balls, and our app can now easily tell them if it is in the proper condition to play and if it is the correct fit for them.”
When golfers now scan their golf ball looking for damage assessment, they will get an image on the app that showcases the following messages:
- New or very good condition.
- New or very good condition, but it might need to be cleaned.
- Playable condition but should be cleaned. You may experience reduced distance and accuracy regardless of fit.
- Playable condition with minor impairments like erosion or scuffs. You may experience reduced distance and accuracy regardless of fit.
- Not playable condition. This damage will reduce distance and accuracy regardless of fit.
- Condition unavailable; try scanning again later.
Studies have repeatedly shown that when golf balls are damaged, they lose distance and accuracy.
A significant scuff can cost about 10 percent of your normal driving distance, which can be 20 – 25 yards for most golfers. This is especially true for premium balls with urethane covers, which are very susceptible to damage. For many golfers, a ball’s performance on the first hole might not be the same later in the round due to damage.
The new ScanMyGolfBall App Version 2.0 has improved and enhanced ball detection and precision in identifying more than 500 ball models in its database. The improved and quicker ball scanning technology, utilizing the camera phone, AI, and a multi-image scanning process, analyzes ball cover type, layer count, compression, spin rate, feel, and dimple patterns. Other refinements in the upgrade include a more seamless and visually appealing user experience.
In addition, the ScanMyGolfBall app also questions a golfer about swing speed, flight path tendencies, general trajectory, short-game spin, and more. Based on those answers, the app builds a profile and ultimately recommends specific golf ball models. Plus, golfers can instantly scan any ball to see how well that model fits their game and its condition.
