Sports are becoming further integrated with technology as time goes on to satisfy consumer preferences for connectivity, so new solutions like the OnCore 'GENiUS' golf ball are being created to offer new capabilities.

This information is accessible via the accompanying smartphone app to let golfers see exactly how they are performing without having to rely on guesswork.

The OnCore 'GENiUS' golf ball also works effectively to eliminate the need to visually locate your ball by guiding you directly to it when you're looking to take your next stroke.
