Shot Scope Technology Provides Pinpoint Distance Accuracy on Every Shot and Captures Game Improvement Data from Players of all Handicap Levels
Edinburgh, UK – On the heels of recording the 100 millionth golfer shot using the Company’s GPS Smart Watches, Shot Scope (www.shotscope.com), a leading international manufacturer of GPS-based game management systems and laser rangefinders, has been ranked #7 among the Top 100 UK IP Companies in 2020-2021, by the Intellectual Property League.
The IP100 is an annual ranking of companies based on a rating of their IP asset strength and track record in exploiting IP. The process involves an assessment of IP-specific data linked to the following IP asset classes: brands, software, patents, trade secrets and critical databases. The IP100 research team uses its proprietary process to calculate an IP score and subsequent ranking for each company. The IP100 is published across the UK and profiles and ranks innovative companies within the private sector, highlighting those which have significantly invested in their IP in the form of IP creation, IP management policies, R&D activities and IP commercialization.
“We are thrilled to receive a #7 ranking by the Intellectual Property League, which is a tremendous validation of Shot Scope technology and the positive impact we’ve made on the golf industry,” said David Hunter, CEO, Shot Scope. “This is great recognition for the Shot Scope team’s hard work and effort in the areas of innovation, R&D and IP.”
Hunter adds, “Shot Scope popularity is surging on a worldwide basis as golfers are seeing significant game improvement from our distance measuring and performance tracking technologies. Everyday tens of thousands of golfers all over the world use our GPS Smart Watches and rangefinders to manage their golf games, and track their performance, and that speaks volumes to our innovative capabilities at Shot Scope.”
One of 2020’s breakthrough golf innovations with an industry-leading $219 price, Shot Scope’s V3 Smart Golf Watch features artificial intelligence that makes real-time swing performance tracking and distance measuring easier, faster and more accurate than ever before.
Backed by patented Power-Sense AI strap technology that captures data on every shot, V3 delivers golfers instant feedback to better understand their swing and reach optimal performance. The technology creates an ever-increasing volume and accuracy of data collected from the golfer during play, leading to more insights and statistics that help the player understand their game better, improve on-course strategy and shoot lower scores. The more rounds the golfer plays with V3, the smarter the AI technology becomes – eventually producing highly refined settings that are personal to that individual.
The V3 is complemented by Shot Scope’s new high-performance laser rangefinder, the PRO L1. A lightweight, easy-to-use device, the PRO L1 offers the perfect combination of size, accuracy and innovation. It is highlighted by Advanced Slope Technology, which provides golfers with compensated distance whether a target is uphill or downhill from their location, and accurate up to 3.6 inches. This function can easily be toggled on and off if being used for tournament play.
The PRO L1 also offers a Precision Clear Lens which allows users to seamlessly switch between the laser’s black and red dual optics, with the option to view distances in either yards or meters. With these options, regardless of lighting on the course, golfers will be able to capture the target and be confident in the number. Further, with six-times magnification, the PRO L1 has a range of up to 875 yards, meaning the flagstick is always within reach. The rangefinder also features Target Lock Vibration so it knows when the target is hit. The water-resistant laser was developed to play in all weather conditions, carrying conveniently positioned grip patches to prevent hand slipping.
