Golf season may still be moths away for most of us, but it’s never too early to prepare. The new Zepp 2 Golf swing analyzer has been updated and refreshed, just in time for holiday gift giving.
The Zepp 2 golf swing analyzer is a monitoring device that attaches to your golf glove with a clip and connects to your smartphone so it can read your swing. You can access the data to improve your game. (Zepp has been in the golf market for several years; read our Best Buy review of the original, here.)
What can Zepp Golf do for me?
The information you’ll get from Zepp 2 Golf includes:
Club Speed: Track your club speed and learn how to gain yardage off the tee or on the fairway.
Club Plane: Are you matching the plane of your downswing to the plane of your backswing?
Hand Plane: Your hand position plays a big role in defining the shape of your swing. How’s yours? Zepp 2 will tell you.
Backswing Position: Track the length and consistency of your backswing. (Most pros shoot for 270°.)
Swing Tempo: Check the ratio of time it takes to make your backswing vs. your downswing. (Most pros are 3:1)
Hip Rotation: By putting your phone in your pocket you can measure how much your hips rotate during your backswing up to impact.
3D Analysis: See and learn from a 3D recreation what really happens during your swing and compare your technique to the best in the game.
Video Analysis: Capture your swing in HD video and analyze it with Zepp’s frame by frame breakdown.
Zepp Golf: Knowing is half the battle
What’s that old saying from GI Joe? Knowing is half the battle? It’s true. (Who knew the cartoon military could teach us lessons about golf?) Getting better info on your swing can help you correct bad habits and problems.
How does Zepp Golf work?
The Zepp tracker is different from other golf trackers; there’s not a separate tracking device for every club, meaning it’s simple. This device attaches to your golf glove, so there’s no worrying about proper fit on the shaft handles and how it’ll interact with your grips.
With the Zepp 2 clipped in, just take a few swings and it will instantly track and monitor you, then evaluate the areas where you can improve, and offer you training tips that can help your individual swing. It’s all available instantly on your smartphone.
Want to take your specialized analysis a step further? Personalized video training programs from PGA/LPGA Players and Tour Instructors are available and can make you a better player, faster, according to Zepp.
What’s new? Improvements from original Zepp
The original Zepp Golf swing analyzer featured 3D Swing Analysis, and Smart Coach Training, while the new tracker has several added features including a stronger, lighter alloy mount for your glove, a longer lasting battery, it’s got gyroscope improvements, and it’s now Apple Watch ready. This is definitely the next generation of golf trackers.
Zepp is one of the simplest golf swing analyzers on the market today. It’s compatible with Apple and Android devices.
