ES12 - Digital Golf Assistant by Ernest Sports

The ES12 is a portable launch monitor, combined with the Ernest Sports App (available for Android & iOS), this device is a great tool for analyzing your practice sessions. Specially if you are indoors or not on the driving range, where you can see your ball flying.

There is a Video Analysis tool, a scorecard, notes and the Course Caddy which helps you with the club selection. The Weather part is unfortunatelly only working in US, and not in Europe.
