This device has many features, including automatic shot tracking and automatic hands-free capture. The third generation incorporated an intelligent system for distances, letting you know the exact length each club produces, and it works under any weather condition. If that were not enough, the application automatically adjusts the wind speed, temperature, humidity, and altitude. All this is possible thanks to artificial intelligence (AI), which retrieves the best information from your shots.

T8 Golf GPS Watch
When it comes to depicting smartwatches for golfers, the Voice Caddy T8 Golf GPS is considered one of the best. It features a touchscreen that displays the range to the front, center, and back of the green. Thanks to the Active Green function, its creators have achieved unique precision with distances. As if this were not enough, this watch calculates the slope on the green and the view facing each putt thanks to V-Algorithm. Black in colour, it weighs only 1.7 ounces and has a 1.2″ screen. The battery lasts up to 10 days in watch mode and has more than 40 thousand golf courses pre-saved in its memory.
The new T8 is the most advanced, ultra-premium smart golf GPS watch that VOICE CADDIE has ever made! The T8 comes equipped with a color touchscreen, gives yardages to the green front/center/back, and offers advanced features such as Active Green (improves accuracy), V-Algorithm(slope calculation), green undulation (indicated with heat map and arrows show break direction), putt view (shows elevation and distance to pin) smart green (touch pin-placement), course views (yardages to hazards and bunkers).
Rapsodo Mobile Launch Monitor
The Rapsodo Mobile Launch Monitor (MLM) allows you to enhance your golf by providing immediate information on each of your shots. It can be used with different models of iPhone or iPad. One feature that makes this a great product: is its accuracy within Trackman’s 2% margin of error at a tremendously lower price.
At Chasing Par, we tested it and used it, and we liked it. It is easy to configure, and it connects to your phone via Bluetooth. At the time of showing the swing in each video, it tracks the swing shots and allows for excellent data overlay. Thanks to its GPS, you can see exactly where each of your shots lands. It is a perfect product where the price-quality ratio clearly justifies its purchase.
Rapsodo builds technology for sports analytics and is particularly focused on Golf and Baseball software. This is an amazing tool that is used by professionals in training sessions, but is simple enough for any golfer to quickly set up and use. Connecting with your iPhone or iPad, this is like a coach and caddy in your pocket.
FlightScope Mevo+
The FlighScope Mevo+ is considered one of the best indoor and outdoor golf simulators. It is a device prepared so that golfers and instructors can obtain the best information to improve the game.
The Mevo+ provides information from the innovative combination of 3D Doppler tracking radar technology with highly accurate data. It is a monitor that simulates each launch using a technology patented by FlightScope Fusion. All this is processed with high-speed images and synchronization to provide exact data.
What to watch out for in the Mevo+? It has excellent precision in optimizing data parameters both in full swing and in the short game. By default, the Mevo+ includes 6 golf courses and 17 driving ranges, ideal for indoor practice. This makes every situation more entertaining.
Bear in mind: this is a costly gadget (USD $1,800), and we believe that it only makes sense to buy it if it is going to be put to good (and regular) use.
The portable Mevo+ is the perfect practice tool for golfers to take to the driving range for practice sessions, warming up for a round, or having some fun with family and friends.
The Mevo+ provides 16 accurate data parameters including:
