Everything is getting smarter these days. It started with personal technology, such as phones and watches, and then expanded to household items like lightbulbs, garage doors, and even refrigerators. The golf industry has also experienced a revolution driven by smart technology that not only assists golfers on the course but also helps them better understand […]

It takes the place of a lot of devices.
Strap, Bluetooth Speaker, GPS.

Kind of cool.
 
Hmmm that’s different for sure. I like it.
 
Interesting idea. Honestly I feel like most walkers don’t use speakers. But is that because there’s no easy way to bring a speaker along? Maybe this solves a problem for a small subset of golfers.
 
This is really cool. And a future version to adapt to other bags. Smart.
 
Now this is some real innovation

It makes me want a stitch bag like yesterday
 
i mean if you walk, yes. One less thing to carry. but it would also be pretty good for those who push cart
 
I mostly ride. I’d use this. Right on the bag when you select a club, no fear of leaving it behind on the cart.

Right? I know the most intended buyer is the walker but it makes so much sense elsewhere
 
This is one heck of a concept. True innovation and I have to say I’m quite impressed

It does help with any golfer too, never leaving anything behind

True, just wondering how well you could hear the music if left in the bag strapped to the back of the cart. I assume cart users would still remove it from the strap to use in the front of cart. But maybe the empty slot when you unload your bag reminds you to grab it?
 
This is innovation at it’s best. While I don’t see myself using one, this is super cool and I like what they’ve done here.
 
Is the Bluetooth speaker or GPS unit built into the strap, or does it just pop in and you be a remove it to charge? I’m confused on this.

The charging question in particular is interesting and i'd definitely like to know also. I believe i read it was removable. Otherwise you'd have to take off the strap to charge it, or have the bag sitting next to a wall socket with a cable long enough.

I like the speaker idea. That is pretty cool

The GPS i find doesn't really change anything. If you walk and carry you can have your GPS / Rangefinder in your bottom left pocket and remove it easily while walking. Having it on the strap might save you 2 seconds. It's not bad but it wouldn't change anything for me.

The speaker definitely is cool. If you walk and carry you really can't have a speaker otherwise.
 
I think it makes sense for a walker.

The charging part is what is concerning, if it’s built it. Just like all luggage with a built in charger, horrible idea.

I have three Bluetooth speakers here in my house with a carabiner that clips right to the bag. Daughters whole golf squad has them.

I appreciate someone trying something different. And I’m sure it will be useful for some, so I’m for it even though I’m not a buyer.

They both pop out
 
If I was primarily a walker, I’d be 100% in. Cool product.

Yeah i've clipped a JBL onto bags before also i guess. Though the speaker portion of the strap does seem like a genuine product that makes things easier
 
Well this is nice.
I use my SL2 with a single strap carry for over 75% of my rounds. Love the fact that they’ve thought of us as well.
 
Neat idea, but I think a carabiner on the side of my bag would be a better form factor for me for less money
 
Talk about outside the box thinking!
