Golfzon announced on the 6th (Korean time) that it will showcase its portable golf shot monitor 'WAVE' at CES 2023, the world's largest electronics and IT exhibition held in Las Vegas, USA.

WAVE is Golfzon's first radar sensor product. It supports Android, Apple operating systems (iOS), Windows, and more, allowing users to check and practice their golf shots on various devices such as smartphones, tablet PCs, Apple Watch, and Galaxy Watch. It is equipped with a battery capacity of over 4 hours, enabling use anywhere at indoor or outdoor golf courses.

Golfzon Vision, an 18-hole game software, and an infrared putting mat are also provided. This product line is a business-to-consumer (B2C) offering aimed at general consumers. A Golfzon representative explained, "Existing Golfzon products are high-priced, costing tens of millions of won, so sales were mainly limited to screen golf rooms, lesson facilities, and a small number of customers who could afford the high costs. The WAVE product line focuses on allowing more global customers to enjoy Golfzon's technology and software at a price below several million won."

Golfzon's existing product line is based on camera sensor technology, which limited usage outdoors or under natural light conditions. In contrast, WAVE incorporates radar technology developed over more than five years of research, enabling use in various environments, the company added.

The official price and release countries for WAVE have not yet been decided. Instead, the product is expected to be first launched this year in the United States, where the personal golf simulator market is mature. This is Golfzon's first participation in CES in four years since 2019. Taking this exhibition as an opportunity, the company plans to actively expand into the US market this year. Currently, Golfzon has about 820 overseas stores, and its overseas sales amounted to 48 billion won as of the third quarter of last year.
