New & Improved iTrainerMini Follows Success of iTrainer
Following on from the success of the iTrainer, the revolutionary training aid that provides golfers with instant feedback on their swing, sports technology company Insight has developed the new and improved iTrainerMini.
The iTrainerMini simply clamps on to the club shaft just below the grip and is able to accurately measure and analyze swing characteristics of the user whether they are swinging a driver, iron or putter. And at just 15 grams, the lightweight and highly-portable iTrainerMini has negligible impact on the golf swing.
By using state-of-the-art accelerometers and gyroscopes, the iTrainerMini gives a direct, accurate reading of how and where the club is moving and so provides golfers with instant data on multiple aspects of their swing.
Immediate feedback on Swing Plane and Tempo analysis from the iTrainerMini is sent via Bluetooth to the iConsoleII app on any Android device such as smartphones, watches and tablet computers.
This information helps golfers improve their swing plane, control club head speed and correctly position the club face angle at impact and so immediately adapt and correct any imperfections in their swing.
The iConsoleII app, which can be downloaded from the Android market, displays video and digital capture of the golf swing in real time and features:
- Club Head Speed
- Tempo Ratio of back and downswing speeds
- Club Path and Face Angle at Impact graphics
- Swing Plane graphics
- Spin Rates
- Vertical and Horizontal launch angles
- Trajectory, Distance and Deviation estimation in numeric and graphic display
- Benchmark to compare current swing against your ideal swing.
- Statistics including, Average, Range and Trend data stored for improvement tracking
Working alongside the iTrainerMini™ and the original iTrainer is My Personal Golf Trainer™ which offers drills by internationally-respected coach, David Leadbetter.
The iTrainerMini™, including the iConsoleII™, is priced at UK£125.
Insight also has future applications in the pipeline that will include the Swing Plane in 3D, Swing Plane and Tempo training drills and position of the Club Face Angle at specific points of the swing as well as Putting, Chipping and Pitching Drills whilst an iPhone and other smartphone applications for the iTrainerMini™ will follow shortly.
The iTrainerMini™ will be exhibited at the world’s leading interactive golf show, Golf LIVE at the London Golf Club from May 18 to 20 when the device can be tried and tested.
