![]() Beyond that, the newest version has improved the battery life and testing found that it charged significantly faster while also lasting an additional two range sessions. Most obvious is the shape change, with the V2 being round as opposed to square. Having both the V1 and V2 sensors in hand, it is worth noting the changes that have been made in terms of the physical design. All of this is worth mentioning because it allows for going through a full practice session and combing over the data after, or looking at it swing-by-swing on the fly. Thankfully by utilizing a notification sound after each swing is recorded there is no confusion from needing to look at the screen before or after every swing. The actual recording process is simple, after syncing the sensor with the device the user selects the mode of recording they want (coaching/training options that focus in on a user’s area of need or straight forward recording mode) and the app is ready to go. ![]() In fact, this reviewer intentionally altered grip position on multiple calibrations and did see changes in the swing data recorded. The thing to look at here is that the calibration routine is concise and effective which should calm some fears. While that may generate concerns as to the accuracy of the data it records, particularly with speed, which will be discussed in the section on data. With each update here however, the company has implemented aspects that go beyond the swing data recorded and into how average golfers can both digest and use it to improve, it’s possibly the deepest swing analyzer app this reviewer has tested.Īn interesting thing about the Zepp is that unlike most of the other swing analysis devices, it mounts to the back of the golf glove rather than on the shaft. Zepp Golf Performance Rundown and Capabilities:Ī lot of swing analyzers brought to market have been cut and dry in giving you the data and having the user do with it what they will. It is important to note that more than just being streamlined, the entire setup and use of the app in particular is aesthetically very clean and pleasing to the eye with the right combinations of accessibility, color, and graphics. Zepp has done a tremendous job of streamlining the initial account creation and getting the user right into what this device is designed for: Recording the golf swing. Initial setup and use is simple, after charging with the included USB cable, simply attach the mount to your glove, followed by the sensor, download the app (iOS or Android), enable Bluetooth on the device being used, and then follow the instructions within the app. Most interestingly though, having literally seen the evolution of the app from Zepp 1 to Zepp 2, it can be argued that no other swing analyzer on the market is undergoing such constant evolution and tweaking, a good thing considering the rate at which we see technology change and become obsolete in our everyday lives. While this reviewer has tested several different swing analyzers on the market, none has streamlined and simplified the setup process as much as Zepp. When it comes to technology, ease of setup and use is always of paramount importance. You can even compare your swing to the pros. Zepp offers an incredible set of 3D and video analysis features that give you instant feedback on club position and biomechanics. Measure the most important aspects of your golf swing, then analyze and improve each one. Welcome to the future of wearable sports technology. Because data alone is not enough. That’s why, at Zepp, we are committed to developing the advanced 3D visuals, actionable insights and interactive training tools needed to truly transform your game. That soon expanded into a broader mission of helping athletes improve their performance, boost their confidence and reach their maximum potential. (Once an athlete, always an athlete, right?) But more specifically, we’re athletes who are driven by science and innovation. We began our journey with a simple quest: to bring meaningful data to sports. Zepp sent both versions of their sensors into THP for a closer look at just what they bring to the table for golfers. This is where we have seen technology begin to provide a viable option for golfers, and Zepp as a company is trying to be a leader there through their Smart Coach training system in coordination with the Zepp 1 and Zepp 2 swing analyzers. The swing is clearly the most analyzed aspect of the game, and while lessons from a PGA Professional are always the safest road to improvement, the accessibility and affordability isn’t always there. As such, it’s no wonder that we continue to see these aspects working their way into extracurricular activities, and golf is a perfect example. Today, convenience and mobility trump most everything when it comes to our day to day lives.
