The age old question: How do I know what club to use, and when? Now you can access your own data that will give you the insight needed for optimal club selection. The Course Caddy gives you the ability to input the distance you need to hit your ball. By pulling all of your logged range sessions, the ES12 will make a club recommendation based on your past performance with each club.

Analyze and improve your swing plane with the video analysis. Use different colored lines to highlight and view your stance, arm extension, shoulder turn, head placement and more! The ES12 smartphone app leverages your phone's video camera capabilities, allowing you to capture your swing for frame-by-frame analysis. Features Include:

• Recall video from your camera roll for analysis
• Different line colors for analytical drawings
• Save analysis for review and comparison
• Share through social media
• Compare single or compare side-by-side videos

Having the latest information about the weather on the golf course is critical to peak performance. The ES12 smartphone app has an integrated weather function to make knowing the latest forecast as convenient as possible. Simply input your zip code and view your local weather, including a radar image of the surrounding area. Know your weather, before it hits.

What was happening when you hit that perfect (or not-so-perfect) shot? Did you have good shoulder position? Were you feeling kind of tight? Did you do something differently in your stance that improved your drive? Take note! Never again forget about those small things that happen before, during or after your round.
