What is ClubHub?
The ClubHub is a portable golf swing analysis and shot tracking system. ClubHub provides golfers with real-time data about their game, including club head speed, face angle, angle of attack, tempo, and transition angle. Additionally, ClubHub’s shot tracking technology allows golfers to record rounds and scoring stats such as driving distances, fairways hit, greens in regulation, and putting. ClubHub is the only product that combines both swing analysis and shot tracking for on course and on range use in one product. ClubHub is the first to have this ability; ClubHub offers a complete solution to golfers and teachers.

What is the Hinge parameter?
To calculate Hinge, we divide the club head speed by the club handle speed in the downswing. ClubHub's Hinge parameter can be used to assess how well a player holds their wrist angle during the downswing. Early wrist release, also known as casting the club, causes the club head to move much faster than the handle. Early wrist release can cause a loss of club head speed and therefore a loss of shot distance. A Hinge parameter over 2:1 indicates an early release of the club. A number below 1.8:1 indicates that the player is maintaining a good wrist angle through the swing. Our expert swings in theHub have a Hinge factor of 1.3:1.

How do I not waste battery life / have it know that I am on the driving / practice range? Does it know by gps and simply not record or use the battery life?
ClubHub uses battery whenever the club is "in-play." This is true whether you are on the practice range, on a course, or even in your home. The club is in play when the head is down and the handle up and the club is moving. If the club is leaned against a wall or another surface, it will turn off in approximately 30 seconds when in range mode. When playing a round, it will turn off when the club is out-of-play, with the head up and handle down. A new battery will provide approximately 12 hours of in-play time.
