This product is a small device that allows you to simply ask a question during a round of golf and the AI ​​will answer the question with voice. You can listen to advice on how to hit depending on the situation, countermeasures for problems, and rules on the spot. This is Japan’s first golf-specific device (Note 1) that provides audio advice using GPT. The pre-sale on the support purchase site “Makuake” achieved a support purchase amount of 14 million yen. (Note 1) In-house research targeting a total of 845 products at the top 5 online shops in the sales ranking of golf mass retailers, Amazon, Rakuten, Yahoo, GDO, and Google (survey period: February 6, 2024 to February 20, 2024) /td> [Reason for selection] The “2025 Hit Prediction” was selected based on the following three criteria. ・Sales and sales volume are expected to grow in 2025 ・There are
groundbreaking technologies and points of view that have never existed before ・Consumers’ lifestyles may change [Background of product development] Golf is a lifelong sport that can be played together regardless of gender or generation. There is also research data that shows that people who play golf have a healthy lifespan that is five years longer than those who do not play golf (Note 2). On the other hand, approximately 70% of golfers quit playing golf within a year (Note 3). We developed it with the hope of increasing the number of people who continue playing golf and contributing to longer healthy life expectancies by supporting the power of AI.
