Improve your golf swing with this new device

LAS VEGAS, USA: Epson America announced the introduction of the M-Tracer MT500GII Golf Swing Analyzer, designed to enable golfers of any skill level to improve their game through highly accurate and detailed swing data collection and analysis.

The M-Tracer securely attaches to the golf club grip to capture and send data to an iOS or Android smartphone in real-time via Bluetooth at the rate of 1,000 frames per second. With a built-in Inertial Measurement Unit developed by Epson for industrial applications, the M-Tracer tracks and records the swing path of the club, club-head speed, club-head path, face angle at the time of impact, tempo and more.

Once the data has been collected and stored, the M-Tracer smartphone app shows the golfer’s full swing path in 3D and offers the ability to rotate the view and compare their swing against that of a pro-level golfer or their own previously recorded swings. The app also provides comprehensive graphical analysis of the impact zone, shaft rotation, club speed and swing tempo. It even has a built in freeze frame option for the critical “halfway back” and “at the top” positions.

“With its high-resolution sensors, the M-Tracer gives golfers a complete swing breakdown, providing specific, actionable information at an incredible level of detail,” said Randy Bergstedt, manager, Epson Active.

M-Tracer MT500GII Golf Swing Analyzer will be available in March 2015 with a MSRP of $299, through a wide range of retailers and at the Leadbetter Golf Academy.
