Today Callaway Golf Company announced its dynamic new Callaway FITS Shaft Analyzer. Callaway FITS is designed to provide the best shaft options for a golfer in just 3-5 swings using the Company’s new Callaway FITS app.

This revolutionary shaft analyzer easily screws into the grip of a driver or 7-iron and is connected via Bluetooth to the Callaway FITS App, which is downloaded onto the fitter’s iPhone or iPad. After each swing, the app receives 4 category data points based on the applied clubhead speed, closure rate, peak acceleration, and tempo. Callaway FITS then assigns a value of 1-5 to each category to create a unique swing signature for that player.
Every shaft in Callaway’s extensive library is given a signature based off the individual weight, flex, kick and torque. The Callaway FITS app then matches up the swing and shaft DNA to recommend the 3 best stock shafts and 5 best aftermarket shafts available for that player. The sensor technology in Callaway FITS was developed by Kinetek Sports, the creators of the ClubHub swing analysis and shot-tracking system that can be used both on the course and on the range.
“We believe that Callaway FITS is the most versatile shaft analyzer in golf,” said Callaway Custom Fitting & Strategic Partnerships Manager, Anthony Newville. “This is an innovative, easy-to-use analyzer system that’s been years in the making. We are confident that it will help to streamline the custom fitting experience, and get golfers fit into the right equipment for their game.”
You can contact or visit an authorized Callaway custom fitting retailer near you to find out how you can get fit using the Callaway FITS shaft analyzer. You can also visit www.callawaygolf.com/callawayfits for more info, or submit any questions to callawayfits@callawaygolf.com.

Web RTC Review

I’ve been learning Rarejob for 4 years, and I enjoy using English there with various gadgets.
I used a Windows 8.1 desktop, an iPhone, and an iPad 2012 cellular model when I just started my first lesson.
I remember taking lessons on the way home from work, which was the best way to make it a habit to practice English regularly.
I also took lessons out of home, such as in sightseeing spots, a big park with plum or cherry blossoms, and even in the balcony while watching the full moon or eclipse.

Most online English conversation services in Japan use Skype for one-on-one lessons, but last year, Skype had huge updates a couple of times and some users (including tutors) had issues in conducting lessons.
In summer 2018, Web RTC-based learning system (”Lesson Room”) had been tested among new users who joined later than July, and finally it launched to all users on November 26.

Very luckily, I was given a chance to try “Lesson Room” before its official launch, so I used it with all of my digital appliances and jotted down my review.

“Lesson Room” app is also available on iPhone and Android, but there are a few cautions students should prepare in advance.

(1) A Web-RTC page or app has more complex structures (codes) compared to Skype, which sometimes cause audio or video signal delays
(2) A wired headset is needed when communicating on a Web-RTC page

When users log in “Lesson Room” via their smartphones, it’s really important to check their smartphones have earphone slots.
Most Android phones are compatible with wired headsets, but iPhones later than iPhone 7 don’t have earphone slots.
“Lesson Room” is introduced as a very convenient learning tool on recent Twitter ads, but actually, it’s not as comfortable as expected when being used on smartphones.
The problem is that defects of Web-RTC are not informed to all users.
The more difficult codes a website has, the longer time it takes to show up on a browser.
