In 2019, Dragonfly Golf partnered with a USA based sports academy to provide swing capture and feedback to its golf students as part of their quarterly swing assessment program. Use of the Dragonfly smart suits automated the process and provided every golfer with detailed additional feedback on their technique. Furthermore, supplementary insight was provided to the coaches on each athlete's strengths and weaknesses when compared to the best athletes at the academy. This partnership has revolutionised the academy's golf assessment program through the seamless addition of valuable quantifiable performance based feedback for players, coaches and parents.
