Edinburgh, UK – On the heels launching the multi-function X5 GPS Golf Watch, the next generation in the Company’s award-winning and patented performance tracking and distance measuring smart watch technology, and the PRO L2 Laser Rangefinder, a multi-function, high performance DMD, Shot Scope (www.shotscope.com), the industry-leader in advanced GPS and shot tracking technology, has been ranked #7 among the Top 100 UK IP Companies in 2023 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 once again 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 laser rangefinders to manage their golf games, and track their performance, and that speaks volumes to our innovative capabilities at Shot Scope.”
The new, multi-function X5 GPS Golf Watch is the next generation in the Company’s award-winning performance tracking and distance measuring smart watch technology. Designed to be worn both on and off the course, the stylish X5 offers AI-powered performance tracking of over 100 statistics with a built-in step counter and accurate, real-time front, middle and back distances to all greens, hazards and doglegs on over 36,000 preloaded golf courses worldwide.
Available at an unbeatable $299.99 price point, the X5 joins Shot Scope’s stable of low-cost, high-tech GPS and performance products that are offered — unlike leading competitors in the industry — with NO subscription fees and free firmware updates, including new feature offerings. Additionally, The X5 is completely customizable allowing golfers to choose from 5 different watch face designs, as well as interchange the color of their strap, for a variety of stylish looks on or off the course. This is complemented by a clear and bright full-color 1.2” touchscreen and multi-function crown that enables quick and easy navigation of menus, with a glare resistant display of large and clear distance numbers (yards or meters) and other data points.
The new, easy-to-use PRO L2 Laser Rangefinder offers a breadth of advanced innovation that cannot be equaled for a DMD under $150. Hit the target quickly and accurately with Shot Scope’s rapid-fire technology and every time a golfer locks onto a target, the target-lock vibration inside the PRO L2 sends a short pulse, confirming that the golfer has hit their target. What’s more, the PRO L2 easily mounts on your cart or pushcart with the extra strong built-in magnet.
The PRO L2, which conforms to the Rules of Golf, also features Advanced Slope Technology that correctly adjusts the measurement giving golfers the most precise, compensated distances on uneven terrain. By taking the up and down hills into consideration, PRO L2 will allow for better club selection and more accurate shots. This feature can also be quickly disabled by turning slope on/off when it is needed for tournament play.
Adds Hunter, “In the span of a few weeks, Shot Scope has introduced two innovative products that will have a direct, positive impact on game and course management for golfers of all playing levels. The X5 Smart Watch is truly a game changer in the industry and the launch of PRO L2 provides golfers with an unmatched laser rangefinder, filled with high-tech features at an incredible price point.”
