Description

Hips are the engine of the golf swing. Proper use of the hips maximizes the distance you achieve regardless of your skill level. Pros know how far and how fast to rotate them to get maximum distance. With the Hip-X Golf swing analysis app from Ancor Labs, so can you! Hip-X Golf is the first app to utilize the iPhones in-built motion sensors to analyze your swing. All you need is your iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 or 4th/5th Gen iPod Touch (Note: This app is not designed for the iPhone 3GS or iPads). No other hardware or cradle is necessary! Simply tuck the iPhone under your belt near the leading hip and swing away! Using proprietary motion sensing algorithms developed by Ancor Labs engineers the app will detect your golf swing automatically and calculate your hip speed, tempo, and angle. Swing with or without a club to groove your swing anywhere and anytime (unlike other apps that have sound-based swing detection that requires a ball to be hit). The results are displayed graphically in real time with “pro zones” to show you how you compare with the professionals. Swings can be grouped and saved as sessions. You can look at trends or share your data with your pro or friends.
