REVEALED: PING, the world's first the Trackable Disc!

Post by tobudiscs »

Have you ever lost your favorite disc on the disc golf course?
Have you ever spent a good part of your game looking for where your disc landed?
The solution is finally here!

Paired via Bluetooth to your iPhone / Android phone, the TOBU app uses the power of bluetooth to track your disc. To recover Ping, you simply have to walk towards its general location, and the app will lead you to where it is! And as an added benefit, Ping will automatically begin to beep and flash once it is thrown, giving you even more opportunities to find it.

Not Compromising on Flight
A trackable disc is only desirable if it flies well. Hence, we weren't satisfied with simply sticking components onto existing discs -- even if you manage to perfectly centralize the additional component, the change in both weight and weight distribution would reduce the disc's performance.
To account for this, Ping was designed with these additional electronics in mind. A lot of engineering time and effort has been put into the design of PING so that the total package would be ideal for a long distance driver!

Focusing on the Game
We've worked hard to streamline the user experience so that you can focus on your game. As you prepare for your throw, you will not need to press any additional button as Ping will automatically enter "Tracking Mode" once it leaves your hands.
Furthermore, as soon you recover Ping with the assistance of your iPhone / Android Phone, our App will automatically calculate the statistics for your game. (eg. distance, score ...)

Meets PDGA Standards!
We were the driving force behind the recent PDGA technical standards change! (Discs can now have electronics attached and still be used in tournament play.) Ping has been designed with these standards in mind so that it can be used by both the pros and enthusiasts alike. The PING disc is currently pending approval.
