Welcome to Game Changers.
This week, we’re looking at technology for tracking gameplay data, observing dynamic movements that can help you improve your swing, sharpen skills on the range and even reduce your risk of injury. Welcome to Game Changers!
Tech
Love tracking data and seeing performance improvements over time? Then you’ll love Flightscope Mevo, the affordable, reliable, and accurate pocket-sized launch monitor.
Flightscope Mevo is game-changing technology that gives you accurate real-time performance data to see where and how you can improve your game. Connect to the Mevo app to view insights, videos, and trajectories and even create action videos with a data overlay.
Mevo gives you 8 data parameters including carry distance, spin rate, club speed, ball speed, vertical launch, smash factor, apex height, and flight time.
Use this 3D Doppler radar launch monitor on the course, the range, or at home to transform your game.
Fitness
If you are looking to make improvements and progress, you shouldn’t overlook a warm up. A good dynamic warm up can be the difference between a great game and traipsing knee-deep in the rough.
Tyler Campbell, head trainer at the Golf Performance Center in Ridgefield, Con, says a deliberate, dynamic warm-up before playing a competitive round saves an average of 1.5 strokes per round. It’s not only your game that will be improved — a good warm-up before sport has been found to reduce the risk of injury.
Trying functional movements prior to hitting any balls will wake up your nervous system and your muscles. Taking 5 minutes to squat, lunge, rotate, bend, reach, and swing could help make your drive consistent from the moment you tee off.

People
Bryson DeChambeau, eight time career winner on the PGA tour and major winner in the 2020 U.S Open, uses the X3 model. As an advocate for the Flightscope he appears in their adverts and says ‘I use the X3 because I trust the data and it never misses a shot.’ Fact: he even used the X3 the night before he won the U.S. Open Championship in 2020.
