In this series, we’re revisiting golf phone holders. Previously, we reviewed the SelfieGOLF Phone Holder which I’ve enjoyed using. However, the feedback we received suggested it was a bit on the pricey side and there were more affordable alternatives.
In this article, we’re diving into one such alternative, the Golf Phone Holder Clip. It’s a budget-friendly option that aims to deliver the same functionality as higher-priced competitors.
The Problem
Capturing videos of your golf swing isn’t always a straightforward task. As the winter season approaches and many golf courses close for the season, golfers often take this downtime to refine their swings and make improvements.
The Solution
How I Found It?
The multitude of options available on Amazon can be overwhelming and the golf phone holder category is no exception. Why did I choose this particular product? Several factors influenced my decision. First, it had solid ratings and generally positive reviews. Second, it was one of the best-selling items in its category at the time. Finally, it was different enough from the SelfieGOLF Phone Holder to be a good comparison at a cheaper price.
How it Worked (or Didn’t)
The attachment piece is decent, featuring a clasp that ensures a snug fit onto the golf club shaft at the right height for filming. It offers multiple notches to accommodate various golf shaft sizes without being too tight or loose. The rubber piece that wraps around the golf club shaft gets the job done, while protecting from scratches.
As for phone placement, it’s quite accommodating. It has slightly larger bumpers so, depending on your phone’s size, you may need to adjust the placement to prevent interference with any buttons. The firm tension holds phones of varying sizes securely, preventing any movement or sliding during filming. It’s also compatible with both front- and rear-facing cameras, a handy feature.
The Bottom Line
Attaching it to any of my golf club shafts was a breeze and it facilitated simple filming in various locations. The secure phone grip and adjustable ball joint allowed me to achieve the desired angles and views necessary for assessing my swing changes. Additionally, the convenience of attaching it directly to a golf club in the bag eliminated concerns about uneven terrain or the wind tipping over a tripod.
In my opinion, this product deserves its 4.1-star rating out of five. Would I choose it over the SelfieGOLF Phone Holder? Perhaps for travel but I still prefer the SelfieGOLF Phone Holder for other scenarios. This budget-friendly option has become a reliable companion for my car and the golf course when needed.
