Self-Tracking Golf Balls

This High-Powered Golf Ball is Connected to a Smartphone App

— October 24, 2015 — Tech
Golfing is now made easier with the 'Chip-ing,' a revolutionary self-tracking golf ball that connects to a smartphone app. Technologies like the Chip-ing can now save golfers time and money.

First off, the tracking golf ball ensures that it will never get lost. Oftentimes, mishit balls end up in rough and wooded areas, forcing golfers to search tirelessly for it. With the Chip-ing, this problem is eliminated. Making tracking the ball easier ensures that a typical 18 round game can be played more efficiently and quickly. Golfers will also be able to avoid penalties for lost balls, which will give them higher scores. Lastly, golfers will no longer need to travel with an abundance of balls as the Chip-ing is the only one they will need.
