For instance I want to write 9 to the tag and have the computer recognize that and select 9 iron in TGC. My idea is to place NFC stickers on my golf clubs and swipe them with a USB NFC reader that would send the computer my club selection. And who knows, maybe you won’t lose as many balls in the trees, bushes or deep rough. 1 Using NFC tags for club selection 01-07-2018, 03:32 AM Hoping someone can offer some guidance on this idea. The Genius Ball clearly won’t be for everyone, but with the continuing shift toward data gathering in golf, it could be the next little thing. Now OnCore is set to take its innovation pursuit to the next level. I recently wrote about OnCore’s founders - a story about family and a passion for golf that you can read here. The company has moved beyond its hollow metal core roots and has garnered favorable attention for its most recent introduction, the ELIXR tour ball with, ahem, 'conventional' technology. Over the past few years, OnCore has invested significantly in golf ball technology and committed to innovation. The intent is to create a true coaching or caddie experience, gathering enough behavioral data to apply predictive modeling and suggest pre-shot strategy. OnCore has talks in the works to team with other intellectual companies and allow the Genius Ball data to be easily integrated with other GPS and course visualization applications (think of a popular shot-tracking product like Arccos), to provide further data extrapolation and qualitative player output. In fact, a golfer and his three buddies out for a round could all play with Genius Balls connected to the same phone. Multiple Genius Balls can be connected at the same time too, ensuring that there’s no need to sync during a round or worry about hitting multiple balls off a particular tee. 'As such, most functions will be at a glance, with the option to drill down on data if desired.'Ī rendering of how OnCore's Genius Ball app would look on a golfer's phone.

'We realize the customer is there to play golf, not to interact endlessly with their mobile device,' Blakely said.

In other words, the phone doesn’t have to stay in the pocket – simply within the range of the Bluetooth connection.

With the use of a Bluetooth 4.1 connection, the Genius Ball will pair with a user’s mobile phone (iOS, Droid, Windows and Browser) through a small device that’s about the size of a pager and can be placed in or on a player’s bag, pocket or belt. If that’s not enough, players will be able to track and view their ball flight characteristics with historical overlay and the mobile app will also provide a player’s history on every course.

Here’s a rundown of other targeted metrics OnCore’s Genius Ball will collect and transmit: With the Genius Ball, players will know the distance between their ball and the middle of the green (as well as left, right, front and center) while on the tee box or anywhere else on the course. Besides refining their game and strategies by keeping golfers more informed about the effects of their shots and choice of clubs, all this data is also employed towards more intelligent club recommendations by the app.The inner workings of the Genius Ball. In Driving Range mode, this feature is able to generate data for every hole, showing where shots have landed on previous rounds. At the moment, only the first shot for each hole is tracked.

Courtesy of its accelerometer and gyroscope, the E4 Golf Edition automatically detects a swing executed at the tee area and begins tracking the shot till a second stroke is detected.

This begins with automatic shot tracking. However, it’s on the inside that TAG Heuer has thoroughly updated the watch to simply give golfers what they have asked for. In addition, the redesigned strap buckle features a built-in magnetic ball marker, with an extra piece in the box in case this is lost, and more can be purchased separately. The dimpled rubber strap could not be more golf-appropriate, and the 18-mark ceramic bezel communicates the Golf Edition’s intent upfront.
