This application was made keeping golf amateur players in mind. These players are more prone to hitting banana-shaped shots. Mount Lawley Golf Club pro, Duncan Kegg, thought of the idea when he employed the iPhone’s spirit level.
This application supervises the player’s forearms and hands at six distinct stages of the swing. A wireless device comes with it that can attach to your golf club. It even gives an audio warning if it takes on an open or closed angle. The inventor had so much confidence in his notion that he made his own company and hired some investors from the Mount Lawley club in Perth.
They put about $38,000 into creating two applications with the ASC software. The second application they made was called ‘My Golf Bag.’ This application calculates a club’s lie and loft angles and was only released two weeks ago.
