The other day there was a big demo-day at my local club.
While testing the latest Wilson irons (I like the Ci6 a LOT), i was offered a chance to try a wrist watch from a company named Suunto (model name was
G6 Pro).
It was able to retrieve 4 pieces of information regarding my swing.
Total swing time from beginning of backswing to impact (avg. 1.34s for me)
Percentage of swing time spent on downswing (avg. appx. 28%)
Angle of top of backswing compared to address (avg. 160deg)
Swing speed at impact (avg. 73mph)
Although I was fairly disappointed with my clubhead speed, I was quite happy with the level of consistency of my swing.
I'm considering purchasing such a watch, but I'd love to hear whether you all think it is a worthwhile training aid or just another piece of gadget-hype??!!
