Technology Question

My brother has an S20 (I assume that the S12 is a similar device). As he describes things this device senses and records every full shot that he takes. He does not have any club sensors so it does not know what club he is hitting. But if he hits a 4 iron from the middle of the fairway on the 4th hole this shot will get recorded and can be part of the round data that he can upload to Garmin Connect (or whatever). As shots get 'smaller' (chip shots, putts, etc) it becomes less reliable but full shots seem to work pretty darn well as he describes things. AND it does not detect practice swings somehow. 

What technology is Garmin using to detect these swings and is it the same technology across the entire Approach line from the S12 up to the S70? 

Thanks.

    The Garmin Golf products that offer the AutoShot feature, allow for automatic shot detection for all full swing shots during the round. The AutoShot feature requires scoring to be enabled, and the shot data is saved to the scorecard to view through the Garmin Golf app or the Garmin Connect website. 

    The Approach S12 does not offer the AutoShot tracking feature with just the watch itself like the Approach S20 has...however, the Approach S12 is compatible with offering shot detection with the Approach CT-10 club tracking sensors paired to the watch, and attached to the grip ends of the golf clubs being used. This also means that the Approach S12 also does not offer step tracking or the basic sleep tracking features that were offered on the Approach S20. 

    The button operation and location is identical between the Approach S12 and the Approach S20, and the menu layout is also similar between the two devices. 

    AutoShot utilizes the Accelerometer sensor and the Gyroscope, in conjunction with the wrist preference set in the User Profile menu of the Garmin Golf products compatible with the shot detection. The movement of the backswing per the wrist worn on setting, and impact of the club face hitting the ball for full swing shots allow for AutoShot compatible devices to detect the swing, and GPS distance from the shot location is then measured up to the point of the next shot that is detected...which stops tracking distance from the initial shot, and then begins tracking the distance of the next. 

    Below is a link to the Garmin Support article outlining further info on the AutoShot feature offered on the Garmin Golf products compatible with the feature:

    Benefits of Direct Traffic

    Direct traffic plays an important role in enhancing the performance of a website, bringing many benefits not only in terms of traffic but also in terms of long-term strategy for the brand. Below are the significant benefits that Direct Traffic brings:

    1. Increase brand recognition and recall

    When users type your website address directly into their browser without going through any search engine or intermediary, it proves that your brand has a certain position in their mind. This is clear evidence that your brand has been remembered and users have enough impression to come back without reminders from advertising or other marketing channels. In particular, the fact that users directly visit your website shows the level of recognition and trust in your brand.

    2. Increase conversions and revenue

    Direct traffic typically has a higher conversion rate than other traffic sources. This is because users have a clear interest in your product or service or have previously experienced it. They return to your website  to find additional information, solve a specific problem, or even complete a purchase. This makes Direct Traffic one of the most valuable sources of customers, helping to significantly improve your conversion rate and revenue.
