        Advanced Swing Training

        Garmin offers several devices with advanced swing metrics features built in so you can practice with purpose and understand what your swing is doing and how that impacts ball flight.

        TruSwing provides at-a-glance data, including swing tempo, speed, club-path measurements, critical club angles and more, to improve swing consistency and form. This small, light, easy-to-use sensor mounts just below your club’s grip and measures the most useful swing metrics.

        Pair with Approach X40, S5, S20, S60, G30 and G8 to see your swing data on the course, or pair with smartphones and tablets via our mobile app for 3-D animations and side-by-side swing comparisons.
