Product Description

Reduce your handicap, monitor your shots as you play, and simplify the scorekeeping process all in one with the Suunto G6 personal golf instrument. The Suunto G6 contains an internal sensor that measures various aspects of your swing in different situations. In practice mode, you can record information on the tempo, rhythm, backswing length, and speed of each swing, and then observe the average and deviation values of the different measurements. You can then progress to test mode, in which you play a series of shots with the same club and check your consistency index straight from the wrist-top computer. This gives you an idea of your golfing muscle memory, and how often your swing strays from its "ideal" mechanics. Use the feedback to consistently repeat your best shots while weeding out the weaker ones.

Once you return to the course with your improved skills, the G6 takes care of the details while you play by keeping score. Choose from among four different game types--scratch, Stableford, stroke play, or match--and let the G6 record both your and your opponents' scores. Not only does it let you focus exclusively on your game, but it also eliminates the need for messy paperwork. At the same time, the G6 monitors your shots as you play, and then analyzes your round afterward via the Suunto Golf Manager PC software (sold separately), which identifies the areas of your game that need improvement. The G6 registers such statistical data as fairways hit, GIRs, up and downs, sand saves, putts, and penalties, and then displays the results and history of played games.

Looking to calculate your handicap? The G6 does that, too, by storing your favorite 10 courses in its memory and determining your handicap for a given course. And if your playing partners also have official handicaps, you can use the G6 to update the leaders during a round based on the players' numbers. It's the perfect tool for serious players who don't want to mess with math during a round. You can also change the names of players and courses directly on the wrist-top computer.

Additional features include a traditional watch mode with an alarm, calendar, and stopwatch; a menu-based user interface similar to the ones used by many mobile phones; water-resistance to 100 feet; and a user-replaceable battery. The G6, which weighs 0.12 pounds, is backed by a two-year warranty on parts and labor.

Best Watch Ever! (For a Golfer.)
 
Review Date: November 7, 2007
Reviewer: Richard Douglas,
About a year ago, I bought a book on the golf swing's tempo ("Tour Tempo"). Great book, but the practice of creating a tour tempo was difficult. Well, this watch is the key to that! It has several features, but "practice" mode is the one I find most valuable. In it, you can get feedback on every swing. (The watch can even tell the difference between a practice swing and a stroke that hits a ball.) In practice mode, you get the time of your backswing and downswing, total swing time, the ratio of back/downswing, the length (in degrees) of your backswing, and clubhead speed (if you set it with the club you're using.) NO training device I've ever had provides so much valuable feedback. Get one! (And buy "Tour Tempo" while you're at it.)
Happy with watch

Reviewer: Alex Ruskewich, Connecticut, USA
The Suunto Golf watch was exactly what I wanted. The watch is good looking and generates quite a bit of discussion when I show it to others. It does take some time to learn how to use it. More detailed instructions would be helpful as this is a sophisticated instrument.
Good service, good product

I think you are doing a great job...I had some problems with delivery but mainly due to local post office and I have experienced the excellent service that was given to me by your company and the seller.
Thanks

Reviewer: Les, Alberta
Watch is very helpful for comparing different swings and evaluating what you did to make the ball go where it did. A little bulky for use off the course, but not a problem otherwise.
Pleased with order

Reviewer: Lisa Thomas, Jacksonville, FL USA
First time ordering from a third-party vendor. Order arrived on time but I had to send it back for other reasons. The return procedure went better than I expected. Amazon kept in touch with me thru the whole return process via email. Very pleased with how the whole order was handled.

Product Description

With this exclusive DVD and Hand Exerciser set, professional golf instructor Hank Haney teaches you how to use your hands to improve your game and to develop the hand strength you need to play your best golf. This set comes with Hank's "Grip Strength" Essentials DVD and one of three versions of the Prohands hand exerciser--5-pounds per finger for light resistance, 7 pounds per finger for average hands, or 9 pounds per finger for very strong hands. The DVD covers the following:
  • Distance: Hank explains why your grip is the most important fundamental in golf. A stronger grip is the key to increased club speed and distance. Hank teaches the basics of hand positioning and grip pressure for increasing club speed.
  • Control: Your grip is your primary control of the club face. Hank teaches how to make simple adjustments to correct slices and hooks. Strengthen individual fingers for improved control on tough shots out of traps or rough. Develop feel & touch for putting.
  • Strength: Strong hands, wrists, and forearms are crucial for stability & accuracy. Hank believes strong hands are the key to a soft grip and smooth swing. Learn why strength in the three small fingers on your left hand (for right handed golfers) is critical to your game.
