Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Reduce your handicap, monitor your shots as you play, and simplify the scorekeeping process all in one with the Suunto G6 Pro personal golf instrument. The Suunto G6 Pro contains an internal sensor that measures various aspects of your swing in different situations. In practice mode, you can record information on the tempo, rhythm, backswing length, and speed of each swing, and then observe the average and deviation values of the different measurements. You can then progress to test mode, in which you play a series of shots with the same club and check your consistency index straight from the wrist-top computer. This gives you an idea of your golfing muscle memory, and how often your swing strays from its "ideal" mechanics. Use the feedback to consistently repeat your best shots while weeding out the weaker ones.

Once you return to the course with your improved skills, the G6 Pro takes care of the details while you play by keeping score. Choose from among four different game types--scratch, Stableford, stroke play, or match--and let the G6 Pro record both your and your opponents' scores. Not only does it let you focus exclusively on your game, but it also eliminates the need for messy paperwork. At the same time, the G6 Pro monitors your shots as you play, and then analyzes your round afterward via the Suunto Golf Manager PC software (includes USB cable), which identifies the areas of your game that need improvement. The G6 Pro registers such statistical data as fairways hit, GIRs, up and downs, sand saves, putts, and penalties, and then displays the results and history of played games.

Looking to calculate your handicap? The G6 Pro does that, too, by storing your favorite 10 courses in its memory and determining your handicap for a given course. And if your playing partners also have official handicaps, you can use the G6 to update the leaders during a round based on the players' numbers. It's the perfect tool for serious players who don't want to mess with math during a round. You can also change the names of players and courses directly on the wrist-top computer.

Additional features include a traditional watch mode with an alarm, calendar, and stopwatch; a menu-based user interface similar to the ones used by many mobile phones; water-resistance to 100 feet; a user-replaceable battery, and a comfortable black leather wrist strap. The G6 Pro, which weighs 0.12 pounds, is backed by a two-year warranty on parts and labor.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great device, September 17, 2008

By	chewbacca (Brooklyn, NY USA) - See all my reviews

Nice watch. Really helps to help diagnose a consistent swing. I don't think it will really tell me what is WRONG with my swing but it will help me try to reproduce the same swing each time. Takes a bit of playing aorund to figure it out...the instructions are ok but pretty minimal. And ... it can always help you keep score. BTW software is NOT vista compatible (at least not for my 64 bit version)

5.0 out of 5 stars Suunto G6 Pro, February 15, 2008

By	Josh C. Pruitt (Greenville, SC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Once you get used to the product it serves an excellent purpose. The user's guide is not as helpful as it should be, however, the product works both in analyzing the golf swing and is otherwise a nice watch that keeps good time.

1.0 out of 5 stars It doesn't work!, July 6, 2009

By	Anonymous - See all my reviews

What a great idea, if only it worked. I bought this as a gift for an avid golfer. The main feature that attracted me was the swing analysis function, but the watch doesn't register half of the swings. We spent more time trying to get the watch to read his swing than we actually spent practicing. What a waste. I am definitely returning it.
