Bridgestone introduces BFIT golf ball fitting launch monitor app

Published

on

After five years of development, Bridgestone Golf is rolling out its new BFIT application, the world’s first golf ball fitting app. BFIT is designed to transform every golfer’s mobile device into a ball tracking launch monitor.

The app records video of the user’s swing and analyzes it to provide swing speed, ball speed, launch angle, carry distance and total distance to recommend the perfect golf ball for the user’s game.

BFIT is now available for iOS devices through the App Store and is slated for release on Android in the near future.

“For the past decade we have separated ourselves from all other manufacturers by truly mastering the art of golf ball fitting, as it is an absolutely crucial aspect of optimizing performance,” says Adam Rehberg, Bridgestone Golf Ball Fitting. “With the BFIT app we’re removing any barriers to ball fitting, as players will no longer need to come to special events or spend money on fancy launch monitors, we’re giving everyone all the necessary tools for free.”

As you might expect, the app can be used nearly anywhere. All you need is a buddy to film your swing. Thanks to the captured data, the app recommends a specific Bridgestone ball.

“With my technology and physics background, the BFIT app is perfect for me,” says Bridgestone-sponsored Bryson DeChambeau. “The success of Bridgestone’s ball fitting program has benefited many over the past decade, but the masses deserve to experience how valuable this process is and the app allows maximum inclusion for golfers of all skill levels.”

    That is the problem I have always had with Bridgestone fittings. They automatically assume you need an e series or a b series based upon handicap or average score. I have been fitted by them (at free events) a few times, and noticed the trend.

    It’s the US app store. Not international (I am in Holland, but it doesn’t seem to be available here yet).

From the Forums: I need more forgiveness in my irons – Looking for recommendations

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing the most forgiving irons currently on the market. WRXer ‘TheShark1’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons, saying:

“Currently gaming the Mizuno Pro 225’s but think I need more forgiveness in my irons. My well struck shots are real nice, but my mishits are not performing as good as I had hoped anymore. I really like hollow body irons so if I could find something more forgiving in a hollow body iron that would be great.

Open to any and all recommendations other than Ping. Can’t hit Ping irons at all.”

And our members have been sharing their best suggestions in our forum.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • AvidSwampThing66: “Another vote for the super forgiving and fast Paradym irons.   They look really good for being a GI iron.”
  • bobfoster: “I just went from MP20 MMCs to the new 245s in my scoring irons (just played my first round with them today). If you have a chance to try them, you might find them worth a serious look.”
  • vman: “Shoot me down, but spend the money on lessons.”
  • J_Tizzle: “i525s are great off the heel in my opinion.”
