Is This The Best Golf GPS On The Market?

Today we are testing out the Mildly Gene Sonic Pro, the all-in-one golf device that blends a powerful core speaker and a magnetically detachable handheld GPS in one unit. Now, don't worry if you don't like listening to music in the course, I'm not a huge fan of doing that, but it is good when you're off the course, trust me, but the GPS device alone makes it worth picking up. It's great to use in the course to plan your hold, which we're going to show you how to do right now, and it also gives us yardage really simple in a real interactive touchscreen that is easy to use. So, if we look at planning this hole now, we're able to use this feature, which means I can drag this to wherever I want to go. So, I can drag this to the corner of the dogleg, for example, here, and it shows me the distance to that point, which is 252 yards, and that leaves me 137 yards to the center of the green and 93 yards of hazard. Now, obviously, if I'm zapping the hole, I can't really zap the middle of the fairway, but this gives me the great ability to be able to go exactly where I want to go from a dogleg perspective. Obviously, if I'm zapping it, I can zap the trees. So, to run out, we're talking about 270 yards, so I know that if I hit my driver, I hit my driver at 275, there's a chance I'll run through the fairway at that angle. So, with the driver, I'd either have to go further right, which means it's a narrow gap, or I hit a three-wood sort of straight down the middle, and it still leaves me a short enough shot to the green. That would be my plan for the hole. So, this is how the screen will look when you first get to it. It shows you the yardage to the front, middle, and back of the green. Then, if you click on this side bit here, it enables me then to drag the arrow to where I feel I want my layup to be, the tee shot location to be, and what it leads me to the green, and what the yardage to that point is. So, the plan, as we looked at on the GPS, is basically a three-wood to the corner. I'm going to try and go just left of the tree line, because that gives me the shortest approach to the green, but I know I can't run through the fairway with my three-wood. So, it's a pretty wide space. As long as I strike it well, I'll get past the trees in terms of carry, but I won't run through the fairway. So, that is the plan. Just a straight shot down the right-hand side of the fairway, as we see it from the straight part of the dogleg. So, now we're standing in the fairway for our second shot. The screen breaks down every critical distance at a glance. Front, centre, and back green yardages are all laid out separately, plus clear, labelled distances for sand traps, water hazards, and surrounding the patterned surface. I can quickly adjust my club choice, accounting for elevation, wind, all without pulling my phone out of my pocket. Okay, so at a glance, I've got 154 to the front, 161 to the middle, and 174 to the back. Now, this green's really narrow, so again, you never want to go over the back of this green. Also, short of the green is water, so we've got to get over that hazard. That's kind of critical. At a glance, 119 to the front of the water, 131 to go over the water when you click the buttons. Okay, so let's play at 161. No wind this morning, and there's no elevation for this shot, so it's playing 161. So I'm going to hit a 79 in there for that. Okay, so 79, so I'm just right at the flag, the flag's on the left side of the green. I'm trying to get it pinned high. Okay, just in the middle of the green. Mission accomplished. The dual design setup is game-changing. Leave the speaker mounted on the car for music, just take the compact GPS with you for every shot. Even on bumpy car rides, the magnetic lock holds tight and won't slip off the ground. It's built-in IP67, dust and water resistant, so light rain or sweat won't mess up the screen or sound. Battery lasts long enough to play multiple full 18-ball rounds, and it doubles as a handy portable charger if your phone dies. It's great to use at home also. It's got different modes in terms of the music, so you can set it for a more party mode, or just the listening mode, or home quiet listening. So it's got great versatility in terms of the speaker. I'm going to use it, to be honest with you, mostly at home for that kind of vibe. But whatever vibe it is you can use it, if you want to listen to music in the golf course, you can. The GPS device makes whole planning, getting your yardage, real easy and simple. So imagine if you had laid out, or missed it, your second shot and you're short of the green. Again, very simple. Front of the green yardage, middle green, back of the green yardage. But also what I love about this device, if I click on the green, I can move the flag to where it's located, give me an accurate yardage to carry the water and land at the front edge of the green. In this case it would be 65 yards, the front edge of the green, where the flag's located, and 72 yards approximately to that flag. So again, I don't need to get the laser out and measure that. It gives me a pretty simple, quick yardage straight away to know what my carry distances are. And what I like to get a lot of my golfers to do is work on body part swings. So for example, a hip high swing, I know how far that carries. So if I knew my chest high swing, for example, in this case carries 66, 67 yards, I can stand here, chest high swing, and go 57 yards and make sure I carry that water and land on the front of the green. Because there's water there, I'd always add two to five yards more onto the yardage to make sure if we get a slight miss it, we carry the water. But that's what we'd be looking to do. Okay, so my second shot, as planned, found the middle of the green. I'm kind of 25 feet away from the hole. So I'm pretty happy with that. Where the flag is, it's kind of like a high risk flag for me. So I wouldn't want to take it on. And the GPS helped me plan the yardage to get the middle of the green yardage. I miss it the second shot slightly, slightly bit thin. But again, managed to find the middle of the green, so got away with that one. So the putt, this putt would normally be slightly off the right. Again, 25 feet from this range. I'm just going to concentrate on the pace. So a few nice practice swings to get used to the pace while I'm looking at the hole. Okay, pretty good for pace. Maybe a slight misread. Obviously it broke slightly left to right at the very end. And sometimes it does that in this hole, coming away from the water for some reason. The slope is this way. It just does that sometimes. Anyway, par four. So I found it quite easy and comfortable just using the GPS. Gave me very straight, simple yardages. And I can move the flag around for a bit more preciseness. Certainly for layups on par fours and par fives and certainly for doglegs getting to the corner. It works fantastic. It's something I would definitely recommend you add to your game.
