GOLF

Wind is one of the environmental factors that affects the most when playing golf. Measuring wind speed and direction at real time could be really useful during  a golf practice, no matter if you are a professional or amateur player.

Tracking wind information directly from your mobile device will help you to choose the perfect stroke. Wind data can be available right on your phone or watch, and you can carry your anemometer in your pocket or your golf cart.

If you are in charge of a golf club, you can also create a network with several anemometers distributed around the golf course and collect the data in a central point or allow the players to get that information in their phones.

ATHLETICS

In track and field, running against the wind or in favor can really make the difference in finishing times. Knowing the wind before the races may be a benefit for those athletes who may change their strategy facing the race.

Wind speed and direction can help or restringe athletes. So it does exist wind velocity limits on the races. Real time information about wind speed and direction are critical data to be measured on track and field races.

ARCHERY AND TRAPSHOOTING

Wind effects can have an important impact on archery and trapshooting activities. Shooters can use wind information on its advantage to make a great shot. Wind speed and direction may alter the trajectory shooting either high or low, or drifting it away from the aiming line.

Measuring/Monitoring real time wind speed and direction data can be useful to know the perfect arrow to choose, in case of archery; and determine the shooting distance, in case of trapshooting. The anemometer fits on your pocket and you can track the data right on your phone or watch to minimize the risk of uncontrolled wind affecting archery and trapshooting.

Time trials are important when qualifying for a big championship. Knowing the speed and direction of the wind may be of great help for the cycling team to decide which strategy should be followed- how close should they be to a curve, how they should position- All these factors have a direct impact on the aerodynamics  which has become a crucial aspect for cycling races.

For those professionals who are accompanied during long cycling races with another vehicle, our handheld anemometer is the device which will provide such information, and connected via bluetooth to their smartphone/device will help to plan strategies during races.
