Why don't you tout a success story or tell us something more about the product instead of just bumping your thread with the website?

Right now it is only available for the iPhone. Any decision that we make in regards to creating one for different phones will be market driven. If there is enough interest shown for other phones, then

I just placed an order for one of these.  I was using my iPing cradle - but it was kind of jerry rigged to get it to work.  I hope this holster works better.

I really wish this thread was labeled correctly to target iPhone users instead of the "golf world". Most golfers don't use iPhones and therefore don't need to bother with this thread.

They still have iphones?

I think you'd be surprised at how many golfers have iPhones...

I'm interested to hear how you like it after you've had a chance to use it.

Ha.  What if I promised to keep it in airplane mode?

For all of you out there with iPhones, it works great with the many swing applications that are already available in the app store.

Take an alignment rod, slide it in the ground, and then using the holster connect your iPhone and start videoing. Its simple and easy to use.

To all of you who do not have the iPhone and are reading this thread, my sincere apologies. The design was not meant to offend the other phone users. If there is demand in the future for the other phones then we will certainly work hard to create another design.

I was about to order one and it just dawned on me ... I would probably have to remove my phone from it's case to fit it into your holster, huh?

The case I have is kind of a pain to get on and off, that's the only reason I ask.

Yes you would have to remove your case when you are using the holster. Even though it may be a little bit of a pain to get your case on and off, the advantages of being able to video yourself hitting balls is well worth it. Especially if you are able to start making improvements to your swing mechanics and/ or ball striking.

I already do video myself, but I bring a little camcorder and a tripod.  It's not hard, but it is a little conspicuous and I don't really like to draw a lot of attention to myself at the range.  I think my phone on a stick will be a bit more subtle and not attract a crowd.

I think I will go ahead and order one ...

      I have an update… I don't have much of a response, because the fact that they would ADD the numbers for the lead and trail shoulder together… I mean, wow. I was giving them too much credit. Nobody would think to assume they were doing THAT. That's beyond comical. One of the biomechanists I talked to put it this way: "So if I squatted down and went from 180 to 90 deg knee angle, then I would say 180 deg range of motion because I have two knees?" I'd type more (maybe), but honestly, I'm laughing a bit too hard. 🤣 Update: Mini Manavian blocked me on Instagram, so I cannot see his post showing Bryson with about 50° of range of motion (with a driver) from P4 to P7, and 75° only if you go out to the mid-follow-through. What a terrible loss for me. 😉

      Thanks, interesting to read. The swing is definitely very timing dependent. I hit it consistently I guess but consistently bad.

      Struggling With Volatility

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I've shot 91-74 on the same day before. Couple of years ago played a two round tournament on Bethpage Black. I shot 72 in the first round and 90 in the second. First round I played very well. Second round I played okay, but had about 5 shots that hit the lips of bunkers and bounced down into them. A couple of those wound up in footprints - I was unamused - and I failed to get them out. Anyway - lots of bunkers and my bunker play isn't great and then add a couple of footprints and me getting pretty tired and it added up to a lot.  Only you can really tell though what's causing the variance. It might be that your swing is very timing dependent and when it's timed well you play well and when it's not then it goes all over the place. In that case, some lessons and working on your swing could be the key. If it's more that you tend to feel like you hit it fairly consistently, but you have days where the shots come off and days where they don't, then that's more likely a course management issue. If that's what you need to work on, then you could read Lowest Score Wins and build a plan of attack based on that.  Rest assured though that a pretty big range from high to low is fairly common. Even PGA Tour players often have 18-20 shot spreads from best to worst rounds in a season. It's a common affliction among golfers.
