The Best Golf Technology To Help You Practise At Home

At a time when many people around the world are being asked to stay at home, golfers are keen to find new ways to practise their favourite game and keep fit while social distancing.

With delivery companies still operating, The Golf travel people researched some of the best golf technology to help you finetune your golfing technique from the comfort of your own home.

Golf Swing Analyser

Golf swing analysers are an ever-popular training aid that come in many different forms, but some of the most popular are the tiny sensors that attach to any golf glove using a specialist golf glove mount. The ZEPP golf glove for example, captures over 1,000 data points per second and uses a wireless Bluetooth connection to automatically transmit that data through to an app on your phone or tablet.

This particular swing analyser gives you instant feedback on club speed, plane, tempo, hand plane, hip rotation and backswing position – telling you your weak points and where you need to improve.

Live View Pro

This pocket-sized piece of technology is ideal for golfers who want to perfect their swing with a compact tool that’s easy to carry around. The Liveview Pro is conveniently wireless and lets you record your golf swing – optimised for use either indoors or outdoors. You can make use of the helpful features such as the slow-motion replay and automatic swing detect to gauge how good your swing technique is and where you need to improve, helping you improve your handicap in no time.

Golfers find this tool very handy for being able to track their progress and improvement over time – with recordings available to save and watch whenever you feel like it.

Everybody’s Golf VR

Designed to work with Sony’s Playstation 4 and a Virtual Reality headset, Everybody’s Golf is the perfect way to practise golf in the comfort of your living room. The immersive experience allows golfers to play through three full courses, practice putting on the green or tee off on the driving range to master those all-important techniques. When playing Everybody’s Golf, you are the character on screen, with the game being played from your perspective.

You’ll also be able to plug in your headphones and listen to the lifelike sounds of hitting the shaft to ball, birds chirping and all the familiar sounds that come with a normal game of outdoor golf.

LED light-up golf balls

If the evening is the only time you get chance to practise, LED light-up golf balls are an excellent solution. Golfers can practise their put out in the open and easily collect these balls once they’ve finished playing. You can also purchase LED golf balls that light up once they’re impacted. Most of them last for up to 50,000 hours – so that’s a whole lot of golf you can play with these glowing balls.
