Game, Swing, Body, Gear

GolfWRX was at the Nike Golf 360 App launch at The Oven yesterday. Greg took some video that we spliced together giving you a great 10 minute 'in-depth' look at this new app. Lots of stuff here which a press release simply can't explain. Take a look.

What's everyone think? Have you downloaded it? Used it? Share your feedback.

Nike Golf Debuts New App to Help Golfers Better Themselves to Better Their Game

BEAVERTON, OR (May 22, 2012) – Nike Golf today announced the introduction of a new app and website that will provide golfers with an innovative digital tool to improve, track and share their golf game. In keeping with the company’s aim to inspire, innovate for and enable golfers to become better, the new Nike Golf 360 (NG360) app is the beginning of Nike Golf’s move into a new era of potential for golfers.

The NG360 App is an easy-to-use tool that will allow golfers to track their rounds to see how they stack up; improve their swing techniques with the help of coaches; and view and implement athletic training workouts that are golf-specific.

“This is about serving the golf athlete. It’s about knowing your game to better your performance,” said Nate Randle, U.S. Marketing Director for Nike Golf. “The NG360 App lets golfers look at their game through a 360-degree lens. This is only the beginning of amazing things to come from Nike Golf as it relates to digital sport and the experience on and off the course.”

Nike Golf abides by the steadfast philosophy that every golfer is an athlete, and no two golfers are the same. With the NG360 App, each individual golfer has the unique opportunity to gain a clearer understanding of their own game, swing and body. As they begin to better understand themselves as golfers, they gain clarity on which areas of their game they need to focus. In other words, to know their game means to better their game – that is what the NG 360 App represents.

The key components that make up version one of the app are:

My Game
Golfers can track their game by keeping statistics such as their scoring average, driving accuracy, greens in regulation and average putts per round. “My Game” allows golfers to see how they stack up by monitoring results and beating their personal bests. Within “My Game,” golfers stay motivated by winning “trophies” as a result of improved statistics.

My Swing
Golfers can upload and compare video of their golf swing to their friends and Nike Golf athletes. They can also receive personal coaching from Nike Swoosh Staff members who are PGA Teaching Professional instructors. Swoosh Staff members can provide feedback and swing tips through a video swing analysis tool.

My Body
This will help golfers get into golf shape, thanks to Nike Golf’s partnership with the Gray Institute, the foremost leader in Applied Functional Science. The Gray Institute has developed the NG360 Functional Performance System that is tailored to golf movements that the body makes, a clear distinction from other training systems.

My Gear
Golfers can navigate products on the website that are suitable to their needs, while also receiving product recommendations from the Nike Swoosh Staff. Golfers can also upload the contents of their bags in the “What’s in their Bag” section. “My Gear” will increasingly become more robust as the NG360 App evolves.

The new NG360 App is one piece of a bigger initiative that is a holistic approach to improving golfers’ performance through physical evaluation and training, custom fitting of equipment and digital tracking applications.

The new NG360 App is available for free from the App Store on iPhone and iPod touch or at www.iTunes.com/appstore/.

Sounds very interesting!

Can't find it in the app store, though.

Very cool this could replace Golfshot for stats tracking

I can't even begin to tell you how good this program looks like it's going to be. Think TPI on steroids (no reference back to any player intended). It's too bad that they chose to to the event in a dark room. Really hard to shoot video with very limited lighting.

The app is in iTunes, as I uploaded it last night.

Where's the Android version?

Nille · May 24, 2012

The reason that I can't find it might be because I live in Germany and the App might only be available in the US app store. Anyone has any info regarding this? I searched for NG360, ng 360, Nike Golf.

martinritch · May 24, 2012

Yet another offering from the golfing manufacturers which is only available in the USA. Maybe these USA centric companies need to realise that the world is bigger than their country and that a large proportion of there buisiness comes elsewhere in the world!

wheresblue · May 24, 2012

Just downloaded the app, looks very promising for a scorekeeper and stat tracking. Nicely designed and very user friendly.

tremendous_slouch · May 24, 2012

Not available in the Canada iTunes store.

Here's the link to the NG360 App: http://www.nike.com/nikegolf/ng360/home

Follow the link, and at the bottom, it says "Submit Feedback". Everyone who isn't in the US should click on this link and ask them why it's not available for your country.

This is NIKE golf, not some start-up company.

kacyb6 · May 24, 2012

Cool idea. I'm not sure how much easier it is to deal with another thing to carry with me on the course - or just mark a card and be done with it. Gonna give it a go this weekend though.

Also, for my course I play back home in Alabama it doesn't have the Forward tees available. What's up with that? Need to submit some feedback. :P

Program looks great but not available for Android yet. Typical.

Wait a minute...

Is that Michelle Wie on a poster advertisement for the Method putter - "The New Face of Confidence"

Hahahahahaahahahahahahaaaa....
