and reattach the device to adjust its position.
Device Pairing
Pairing mode is activated automatically each
time you turn on your TruSwing™ device. You
must pair your TruSwing device with a compat-
ible smartphone or a compatible Garmin®golf
device before you can record swings.
Pairing Your Smartphone
To get the most out of the TruSwing device, you
should pair it with your smartphone and com-
plete the setup using the Garmin Connect™
Mobile app.
NOTE: Unlike other Bluetooth®devices that
are paired from the Bluetooth settings on your
mobile device, your TruSwing device must be
paired directly through the Garmin Connect
Mobile app.
1Go to www.garminconnect.com/truswing on
your mobile browser.
2Follow the on-screen instructions to get the
app.
3Install and open the Garmin Connect
Mobile app.
4Follow the on-screen instructions to con-

Pairing Multiple Devices with Your Smart-
phone
You can pair your TruSwing device and a
compatible Garmin golf watch with your phone
simultaneously. If your compatible Garmin golf
watch is capable of recording swing metrics,
data recorded on the watch and TruSwing
device will be synchronized with the Garmin
Connect Mobile app. Refer to the owner's
manual for your compatible Garmin golf watch
for more information.
Recording Your Swing
1Turn on the TruSwing device.
2On your paired mobile device, select a club.
3Hit a shot.
The device records your swing and uploads
data to your paired device automatically.
NOTE:
• After mounting the device, pause and aim
your club at the ball (for calibration) before
taking a swing.
• A collision must occur when the swing
reaches the point of impact; in other words,
the club must strike the ball in order for the
sensor to detect a valid shot.
• When taking a shot, make sure the top
of your backswing is high enough for a
smooth swing. The smoother the swing,
the more likely it is for the sensor to detect
a valid shot.
• For best results, you should make good
contact with the ball when swinging.

Swing Metrics

TruSwing ™
13
EN
Club Speed
The speed of the club head when it hits the ball.
TIP: According to a study conducted by the
United States Golf Association (USGA): The
club speed of amateur golfers averages
between 80 to 100 mph, and the club speed of
professional tour players is typically between

14
TruSwing ™
EN
115 to 130 mph. The current world record
holder for the longest drive, Jamie Sadlowski,
swings at more than 150 mph.

Swing Tempo
The ratio of your backswing time to your down-
swing time. A 3 to 1 ratio, or 3.0, is the ideal
swing tempo based on studies of professional
golfers. You can achieve the ideal 3.0 tempo
using different swing timings, for example, 0.7

TruSwing ™
15
EN
sec./0.23 sec. or 1.2 sec./0.4 sec. Each golfer
may have a unique swing tempo based on the
golfer's ability and experience.
• Backswing Time The time from the start
of the swing to the top of your backswing.
• Downswing Time The time from the start
of the downswing to impact with the ball.
Club Path
A measurement of your club\'s horizontal
motion when viewed from overhead. The Club
Path and Face to Target angles affect the ball's
ight.
• In-out angle Indicates your club path is
angled away from you.
• Out-in angle Indicates your club path is
angled toward you.

16
TruSwing ™
EN
Face to Target
The angle of your club face in relation to your
club path. The Club Path and Face to Target
angles affect the ball’s ight.
• Open Indicates how far the club face is
angled away from you.
• Closed Indicates how far the club face is
angled toward you.
NOTE: The target path is the direction in which
the club face is pointed at the start of the swing.
Shaft Lean at Address
The forward or backward angle at which you
are holding the club when at address, mea-
sured from a 90-degree vertical angle.

TruSwing ™
17
EN
Shaft Angle at Impact
The forward or backward angle at which you
are holding the club when hitting the ball,
measured from a 90-degree vertical angle. The
angle of shaft lean determines the amount of
dynamic loft in your swing.
Shaft Angle at Address
The angle between the shaft and the ground as
measured from the center of the shaft while the
club is at address.

18
TruSwing ™
EN
Shaft Angle at Impact
The angle between the shaft and the ground as
measured from the center of the shaft when the
club hits the ball.
Dynamic Loft
The loft angle of the selected club plus or minus
the dynamic loft created by the shaft lean at
impact with the ball.
Ball Flight
The combination of your club path and the club
face angle affect the ball's ight. This illustration
shows nine common club path and club face
angle combinations and their resulting ight
paths. You can improve the accuracy of your
ball's ight path by observing your recorded
club path and club face angle and adjusting
your swing.

TruSwing ™

NOTE: The projected ight paths are most
accurate when striking the ball with the center
of the club face.
