One of the most impressive advances in technology appeared in tennis back in What made it impressive was its ability to accurately track a ball traveling at speeds in excess of miles an hour and identify precisely where it landed on the court.
It was a game-changer, literally. When the process finishes in a matter of seconds, the software presents an image on the jumbo-sized screen court-side, which is seen by the live audience and those watching at home. The same year Hawk-Eye technology debuted at the U. Open in tennis, Swedish entrepreneur Daniel Forsgren developed ProTracer, a software that tracks a golf ball and its flight.
In , it was rebranded Toptracer when Topgolf purchased it. The proprietary technology works similar to Hawk-Eye in that there are strategically-placed cameras that track the shot, then send that data back to the sensors, which then convert that into an on-screen graphic seen by the television audience.
While that single advance in technology has completely changed the way people watch golf, the company has continued to push forward with other revolutionary additions. Unlike Arccos or Shot Scope, in V1 Game, you don't set a pin location, but instead select how many putts you had and select a first-putt distance. This gives you access to a wide variety of graphs and you can view proximity medians by distance or by club.

If so, its Garmin Golf app has strokes gained data, so if you have a shot-tracking wearable like the Approach s62 or Approach s42 , or have their CT10 club tags, you'll be able to see insights. But Garmin lacks detailed proximity and hole location data. You don't necessarily need club tags in order to track shots.
Apps ranging from 18Birdies to SwingU to GolfShot all provide strokes gained analytics with their premium subscriptions. With GolfShot, for example, you can assign clubs to shots on Apple Watch or after the round to get club-by-club data. Do you use Strokes Gained for your golf game?
