TaylorMade launches myRoundPro app for iOS and Android

Published

on

TaylorMade’s myRoundPro platform that allows users to track strokes-gained statistics is now available in a free app for iOS and Android.

The app, which has GPS functionality to get yardages while on the course, requires users to manually input their shots and putts throughout the round, or after the round, and provides a bevy of statistical feedback.

The platform was created in conjunction with Mark Broadie, the Columbia Business School professor who developed the increasingly popular “strokes gained” stats. Strokes gained works by measuring your performance in a given area — like driving, iron play or putting — against a given benchmark. For example, if you’re a 10-handicap, strokes-gained stats measure your performance against other 10-handicaps. It’s useful to help golfers understand their strengths and weaknesses compared to an average, as well as where they need to improve.

While the original launch of myRoundPro was marketed in partnership with Microsoft Band to track your shots and provide GPS yardages, this app is a stand-alone program. That means the only thing you need to use this program is download the app… and it’s free, which is nice.

    Tried it on the course and it is just a pain in the butt to have to always stop on every shot, break out the phone and log the shot. Also if you forget, then adding it in after the hole is a PITA.

    I (and others) raised data issues with TM from the start of mrp and they never fixed them. I first logged a data issue with them in April 2016 (scorecard data incorrect) and it still isn’t fixed.
    I did the same with gamè golf and it was fixed in days.

    I mentioned this on their Facebook page and they marked my comment as spam!

    This could be the ultimate game analysis tool but they need to get behind the product and support it. The evidence suggests this isn’t the case and we are all wasting our time with it…

    Used it for 9 holes today. Gave up after fighting with the putting.

    If this first move is any evidence, the new T.M. owners are going to kill the company.

    Been using PocketPAR for iOS for a while now. Does all this with more indepth analysis. Plus they are adding Apple Watch soon from what the devs told me. Should be killer.

    Been testing the app for a while now. Overall great, good stats – I like it very much. The only downside is the fiddely input of the puts.

Why Ben Griffin is making the surprising switch to a Maxfli golf ball

Published

on

Ben Griffin might be a little too young to remember some of the iconic Maxfli golf balls that won on tour, but that isn’t stopping him from putting the newest Tour X ball from the brand in play. Today, Maxfli and Griffin announced an exclusive partnership that will see the PGA Tour player using the company’s four-piece golf ball.

While Griffin might be the first PGA Tour player to put a new Maxfli golf ball in play, he isn’t the first profesional golfer to do so. Lexi Thompson has been playing the Maxfli Tour golf ball on the LPGA Tour since the beginning of the 2024.

A post shared by GolfWRX (@golfwrx)

We caught up with Ben at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson in Texas this week to ask him about the new ball switch.

“I was able to finally get my hands on some and try it and immediately I saw faster ball speed with the driver, which is always something every golfer wants to see.

“Then I had to test a lot around the greens and test irons, test spins, test everything like that. Basically, I came to the conclusion that I thought this was probably one of the best golf balls for my game.

“And so I decided to make it official and partner with them and very excited to help kind of launch this golf ball and see where it takes us.”

Griffin’s ball of choice is the Maxfli Tour X, a four-piece golf ball that is made for highly skilled players that want consistent distance off the driver and spin around the green. An updated core design helps add the ball speed that Griffin mentioned and two ionomer mantle layers separate low spin driver shots from higher spin iron and wedge shots. Maxfli uses Center Of center-of-gravity balancing to ensure each ball has consistent flight in the air and roll on the green. Like all golf balls on tour, the Tour X features a cast urethane cover for maximum performance, and it has a tetrahedron dimple pattern to enhance aerodynamics.

It is exciting to see a golf ball at a lower price point — $39.99 at Golf Galaxy — being used by a top 100 ranked player in the world like Ben Griffin, and equipment junkies will be keenly watching his performance with the new ball.
