Ping iPing

Ping's iPing application is designed to work with a cradle as a device that is said to improve your putting technique. The application uses the iPhone's built in accelerometer and gyroscope to measure a wide range of statistics of your swing.

The iPhone is attached to your putter using a cradle. With the statistics, the application can determine your stroke type, impact angle, and tempo. There are also three modes the application can be used in: measure, practice, and compare mode. in measure mode, statistics are collected in five swings then a consistency score can be determined and a putting handicap score is generated. As the user's consistency is increased, the handicap score is decreased. In the practice mode the user can isolate one aspect of their swing from others so they can concentrate one aspect of their technique to improve on. Lastly, in compare mode the user can compare their scores and ratings online with other people. Ping's iPing application and cradle is an innovative solution for golfers looking to improve their putting swing.
