Home made Ping iPhone cradle

[hendersnb]

Was thinking about this today and thought it would be easy to go buy a cheap Iphone case, and epoxy a rubber shaft holder/vice adapter on the back.

 

Cost of the actual Ping cradle: $25-30

 

Cost of clearance case and Shaft holder: $10-12

 

I'll post pics as soon as I make one..

Someone already posted that awhile ago

I did the same thing - just try cut the shaft holder as small as you can and get as light a case as possible. I actually heard an idea on this board for a use which is much better to me than the iPing app. Attach it to an old shaft and put the shaft in the ground as you practice for FO and DTL views - perfect camera holder! Works awesome with V1, etc.

I actually like the using it as a camera idea, this would work perfect with an old shaft.

I used an old otterbox clip from a broken otter they replaced (they send u the whole assembly, not just a case or clip). Cut the clip off, drilled a hole dead center and used a short carriage bolt do it was below the surface of the clip. Then I bolted a conduit holder to it with a bolt and wing nut.

Very interesting!

I hate to impose but would it be too much to ask to post up a couple of pictures?

Thanks!

I'll go see if I can dig it out of the garage. It's another one of those things I never use that I made for a training aide.

Seems the wing nut has gone rogue... Oh and it wasn't a carriage bolt, just ground down a button head bolt.

 

 

I rarely ever take my iPhone out of my Otter, and when I do it's on vacation to put my life proof case on it.

 

It works well, but I don't ever use it (hence the dust).

Excellent! Thank you VERY much!

 

I think I can handle fabricating that. It's just that I had a hard time picturing the set up.

 

Thanks again!!!!

Just what I needed!

check out shortGame.ca - iPhone app that uses a similar iPhone case. Also has a surface level to read the green.

Super easy to make. Spent about $10.

I like it.

I would love to do this at home but the ping app is for accounts only. Bummer.

Select "Guest (no PING account)" in the settings and you're good to go.

Awesome good to know. Guess I gotta get a new case now!  Thanks.

I made a cradle out of shaft clamp and Velcro and my old work iPhone 6. Been playing around. 

Here are some screenshots. Not sure how this translates. Only thing I don’t like is the weight of the phone.

This was all done with my ping anser. What would be the putter recommendation for these numbers? I assume stay with what I have. Just curious how they make headshape, weight, loft, lie and length recommendations.
