IRL: 18 holes with the Zepp GolfSense swing analyzer
Welcome to IRL, an ongoing feature where we talk about the gadgets, apps and toys we're using in real life and take a second look at products that already got the formal review treatment. File this under "things we don't normally review at Engadget": a hand-worn sensor that analyzes your golf swing. Truth be told, it's too niche a product, and most of us are too busy playing around on Moto Maker to be bothered with a putting green. That said, we do have at least one golfer on staff: contributing editor Steve Dent. With his $112 gadget in tow, he headed to the nearest course -- and brought his A-game.
Zepp's multi-sport sensor arriving November 19th for $150
Most of us flail wildly at a ball without any clue about what happens to it, then wonder why we don't get better. To help out, Zepp's 3D sports motion sensor is designed to put hard numbers to your golf, baseball or tennis swing by showing you (via an iOS or Android app) your swing's speed and contortions. We now know that you'll be able to grab one for $150 from Zepp now, or at Apple and Verizon on November 19th, though personally? We're kind of afraid to see exactly how bad we are.
