SWING LOGIC LEADERSHIP

Blake Jones, a distinguished veteran of the US Army, and Brian Simmons joined forces to foster the growth of Blake's original venture, Divot Island. After fortuitously crossing paths and cultivating a lasting camaraderie, they ultimately partnered with JS Youn, an authority in mobile connectivity and IoT.
Their collective purpose? To revolutionize the realm of golf accessibility by harnessing cutting-edge technology that integrates motion capture, sensors and radar technology to offer never before results that won't break the bank.
The outcome? Swing Logic Ventures embarks on a narrative that extends beyond technology and innovation; it encapsulates friendship, ardor, and a mutual fondness for the sport of golf.
The successful beta launch of our second product became the highest funded crowdfunding golf product in history.
Swing Logic plans to continue to innovate and deliver new products to the market including custom designed mobile applications and training modules to allow golf enthusiasts an easier way to move from just seeing their data, to providing actionable insights and focused training.
