There is a lot of cool gear in the golf equipment world that doesn’t always fit neatly into Most Wanted Tests or Buyer’s Guides. You still want to know how it performs. In our We Tried It series, we put gear to the test and let you know if it works as advertised.
What We Tried:
BLAST Golf Swing & Stroke Analyzer. This little sensor attaches to the end of your clubs to analyze your swing and stroke for full swing, chipping and putting.
Who Tried It:
Connor. Director of Soft Goods Testing and resident sneakerhead. I believe golf is better with a pair of cool shoes and comfortable joggers. I need all of the help I can get.
The Need to Know

Three … Two … One
Pairing the Blast sensor with my smartphone was a breeze. Once you’ve paired the sensor in the Blast app, all you need to do is select which club you want to train with and get to work.
I spent some time using Blast Golf in each of the different training modes.
