BUFFALO, New York  – OnCore Innovations, the technology arm of golf ball manufacturer OnCore Golf, is pleased to announce that Stockton Golf, a world leader in short-game golf instruction, has selected the GENiUS Ball as their go-to putting training aid following a successful demonstration of the “ball with a brain” during the 2024 Masters in Augusta. 

The GENiUS ball is a revolutionary innovation that integrates state-of-the-art MEMS sensor technology with Bluetooth communication and wireless recharging. This unique combination provides golfers with unparalleled insights and feedback and the ability to track their ball, elevating their game to new heights. Its innovative design, nearly indistinguishable from a conventional golf ball, is set to transform the game.

OnCore Innovations founder and CEO Keith Blakely said, “OnCore exists to make every golfer better. The GENiUS Ball results from years of research, development, and collaboration with the world’s best professional golf instructors. We’re delighted by the support and tremendous endorsement from the Stocktons. We believe the GENiUS Ball will fundamentally change the game of golf and vastly improve the game of anyone who has ever picked up a club.”

Eleven-time PGA Tour winner and professional golf instructor Dave Stockton, president of Stockton Golf, said, “For decades, golfers have been waiting for someone to create a ball that can measure performance and be trackable; OnCore’s GENiUS ball is an incredible achievement. We were shown an early prototype of the GENiUS ball a few years ago. We had an opportunity to putt with it to assess the ball’s feel, roll, and technological aspects and remain excited by what we experienced.”  

World-renowned golf instructor Ron Stockton said, “We’ve maintained a dialogue with OnCore to discuss the various parameters of the putting stroke and ball response that we felt would be important to measure and report to golfers hoping to improve their putting skills.  As one of golf’s greatest putters, my father, Dave Stockton, has always been a proponent of the importance of this skill – something that was on full display at the recent U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2.” 

“With the progress that has been made with data acquisition directly from the GENiUS ball combined with its smartphone app, we believe this is going to be an essential training aid for golfers of all skill levels, and we’re excited to include it as part of our training regimen,” Stockton added.

Blakely concluded: “We know golfers all over the world have been anxiously awaiting the opportunity to buy, play, and practice with a GENiUS Ball. We’re thrilled to have perfected the technology and are now focused on manufacturing commercial volumes ready for commercial launch in early 2025.”
