NG360 - Nike Golf App

[rob_golf1]

Can't wait for this to launch.

I use the Nike+ Running App, and that is incredibly user friendly and works really well as a free app!

I hope the Golf equivalent is just as good as the video makes it out to be!!

Just seen here http://www.europeantour.com/equipment/brandid=500013/news/newsid=162069.html it will be released in Europe later in the year.

The Swing by Swing app does all the stat stuff, look like the Nike one takes up a notch by adding the training and swing video.

Sounds good, I'll give it a whirl when it's finally released over here.

I always like the look of these but that is probably due to the awesome design and graphics.
I think the problem I would have is actually bothering to add all the information necessary to it.
What do other people think?

 

[rob_golf1]

To be honest, I'm not usually one for uploading videos etc. but if it has been are easy to do so and draw comparisons with the pros then I will probably use the app quite a bit! It will also be very good when comparing stats, and as somebody else posted the graphics look awesome!!

Yep I am always a little busy playing golf. I do like these things, I paid full price for Golf Shot GPS but never use it.

I've not got an issue with adding the info on my iPhone, takes no longer than it would to write your score down. Granted with the SBS one you have few questions to answer but it's once touch on the screen.

Enter your score
Enter shot shape
Enter number of putts
Bunker hit
Penalties
Continue

All the answers are on he screen so it's just choose and onto the next hole.

If you want more data, you hit start, select the club you are using, put the phone in your pocket, take you shot when you get to where the ball lands, you choose you shot shape, slice, fade, straight etc... then press end, it gives you the option to start another club.

At the end of your round you upload the data and you get data on all you shots and scores, which over time gives you a good trend.

its hardly revolutionary is it, does what hundred of app's do, just has a Nike swoosh on it.. wonder what the costs will be?

 

[swilson]

Pretty sure it'll be free as from memory when it was released a year or so ago was free in US iTunes store

 

[big_eck]

i just downlaoded it and its currently downloading the scottish and english courses looks very slick with a nice UI and its free so far

Does this mean it also acts as a GPS?

From the web site

upload your swing to NG360º. On the website compare your swing to the pros and get feedback from the NG360º community.

Well I can save people the bother of uploading it. Your swing is not as good as the pros as they practice 6 hours a day and you play twice a week at most, so don't even try and emulate someone else's swing but concentrate on making your won the best it can be.

Also if you are after feedback from the internet community then best of luck, as you can pretty much guarantee well over 50% of the responses will be very abusive and the thread will degenerate into racist, nationalist, religious, sexist or homophobic name calling within 3 replies at most. I mean, have you read any comments on You Tube recently?

Available now in the App Store. Had a quick look. It offers basic stats recording (FIR, GIR, putts) but doesn't appear to be a DMD, although is does use your location to choose the course to record your stats for.

I uploaded a swing vid I happen to have on my iPhone. Didn't seem to be much you could do apart from watch it in slow motion and annotate it. Various pro swing videos were available but it wasn't immediately clear if you could put them side by side with yours for direct comparison.

Nothing obvious to grab my attention and no apparent benefit over Golfshot in which I already have stats from over 100 rounds recorded., so I deleted it!
