Full Review
Phigolf is a sensor that clips onto any golf club shaft. It uses accelerometers to detect swing motion and feeds data to the Phigolf app on your phone. The app gives you access to 50+ courses and driving range practice. You do not need a special mat, screen, or net. You can use Phigolf in your living room swinging at nothing, or on a mat outdoors. The data is obviously less accurate than a real launch monitor but the 50+ course library and the low price make it a genuinely fun product for casual use.
