Vertex
A little bit about us…
A different perspective on putting.
Vertex Golf was established with the ambition of bringing advanced putting measurement technology to golfers and coaches. The business has developed proprietary sensor hardware, software and measurement capabilities focused on understanding the putting stroke.
Through product development and engagement with professional golfers and coaches, Vertex has continued to evolve its approach to putting analysis. Today, the ambition extends beyond a sensor: Vertex is building a technology platform that connects motion measurement, software and performance insight.
Our philosophy
We believe better information can lead to better understanding. We believe technology should support the judgement and experience of great coaches. And we believe putting improvement is strengthened when golfers can understand the movement and decisions behind the result.
Our vision
To advance the way putting performance is measured, understood and improved.
Vertex Golf was founded on the belief that putting could be understood in greater detail than observation alone allows.
Over the years, we have invested in developing our own sensor technology, measurement capabilities and software, continually exploring how useful information can be captured and presented to golfers and coaches.
Our development has been shaped by practical use, professional feedback and a belief that technology should make coaching conversations more informed, not more complicated.
Today, Vertex is more than a sensor. We are building a technology platform that connects motion measurement, performance analysis and coaching, with an ambition to contribute to the next generation of putting technology.

Improving the User Experience
At Vertex we are committed to constant innovation and improvement, to ensure you, the golfer can get the most of your Vertex SmartCore device. No application is without bugs, faults or areas which can be improved, as and when such bugs/errors become known, it’s our job to fix them as quickly as we can!
Whilst we work on those bugs, we also focus a lot of our attention on future improvements, be it new features, better UI/UX, new ways to showcase and understand different aspects of the putting stroke, whatever it is, we are constantly working…

Under the Hood: The Nuts and Bolts
The Vertex SmartCore is a highly sophisticated and complex piece of equipment, using some of the most advanced components available in the world. The SmartCore system has been designed to very exacting standards to achieve the best battery life possible, the best Bluetooth range possible, speed of data transfer, so on and so on…
Some parts of the SmartCore system are currently redundant and have been developed for future function and capabilities, once certain technologies mature, upgrades will be made and then available to the public. In the meantime, we are always working on improvements, be it getting an extra 5% battery life, or improved Bluetooth advertising wake-up function, maybe some new or improved measures which golfers will find useful.

Knowledge Matters
A key area for Vertex Golf is education and training, to ensure that all users (Golfers, Professionals, Coaches & Fitters) have the knowledge and confidence to use the Vertex Golf SmartCore system to it’s fullest potential and capability.
Whilst initial steps have been made to explain what all the measures mean, what numbers golfers should be aiming for, we understand that there is and always will be room for improvement, education and training will evolve, the variety of options will improve, covering… expert insights, video tutorials, showcase videos and much much more.
