Golf is one of the most difficult sports. And there is no shortage of autumn repairs, courses and small tools to improve the game. Golfshot is a popular golf GPS app packed with features to track your round on the course. Thanks to Apple Watch Ultra 2's new high-frequency motion API, a new Swing ID feature has been added to help you climb the leaderboards.
Swing ID turns your Apple Watch Ultra 2's accelerometers and gyroscopes into a high-precision swing monitor you wear on your wrist. It records detailed measurements as you swing the club. With automatic shot tracking and swing ID enabled, golfers can view valuable data showing pace, hand speed and swing path.
As CNET's resident amateur golf fanatic and video producer, I installed a Golfshot Pro subscription on my Apple Watch Ultra 2 and took it with me to play a round at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco. In this video, I show you how to use the Golfshot app for iOS on your Apple Watch Ultra 2 and share my thoughts on how it works.
