Mileseey Golf brings next-generation GenePro G1 rangefinder to market
Mileseey Golf brings next-generation GenePro G1 rangefinder to market One of the traits commonly found in revolutionary products is that they anticipate needs consumers didn't even realize they had. A golfer, for example, might have a nagging sense in the back of his mind that his rangefinder should have additional features that would benefit his game, but he can't quite put his finger on what those features might be. So it falls to visionary designers to identify the problems, solve them and bring next-generation products to market. That brings us to the newest addition to the Mileseey Golf line of rangefinders, the GenePro G1. Mileseey has a much-deserved reputation for pushing the envelope with its leading-edge technologies that power elegantly designed products, whether in sport optics or intelligent metering. That approach is reflected in the GenePro G1, the pinnacle product of the company's golf technology division, which was formed in 2014 to bring high-performance, user-friendly rangefinders to avid golfers. What distinguishes the GenePro G1 rangefinder is not necessarily one feature but rather a collection of cutting-edge features that have been incorporated into an attractive, functional, ergonomically pleasing design. Start with the 2.13-inch AMOLED (Active-Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode) touch screen, which delivers a vibrant, high-contrast display of the hole you're playing. Mileseey Golf bills this as the first hybrid rangefinder – fusing GPS and laser technologies – with the largest touch screen ever introduced in the North American market. That screen gives golfers access to sharp imagery of more than 43,000 courses worldwide. GenePro G1's powerful GPS syncs to the touch screen and illustrates an arc of the course map, providing players with information on what hazards are in play and where to play their next shot. It also provides dynamic front/center/back yardages on approaches to the greens, while the Pin Pointer technology removes the uncertainty created by blind shots. Golfers will never have to question their yardages on even the longest of shots. GenePro G1 has a whopping 1,300-yard range, with 600-yard flag lock, 6x magnification, instantaneous vibration feedback and measurements that are accurate to within a half-yard. GenePro G1's next-level SmartSlope technology doesn't just take elevation into account; it takes a holistic approach when providing adjusted yardages. It displays real-time data on environmental factors, such as temperature, humidity and altitude, that can impact the distance the ball will travel. The Rotating Slope Switch allows golfers to quickly toggle on and off. Importantly, when it's toggled to the 'on' position, the Slope Switch is red; for tournament play, that's a vivid reminder to turn off that feature. The innovations don't end there. Mileseey's Ball-to-Pin technology takes the guesswork out of yardages, no matter where you are on the golf course. For instance, if you find your view blocked by large vegetation, the Ball-to-Pin mode will provide measurements to the flag and hazards. For the serious player who's always looking for an edge, the GenePro G1 syncs to the Mileseey Golf app, allowing you to do a post-round analysis of each shot you hit. All of those features make the GenePro G1 an ideal tool for competitive golfers preparing for tournament play, but also serious amateurs and tech-savvy players who always are looking for an edge. The GenePro G1 is currently in the crowdfunding stage. You can learn more about that here. The GenePro G1 is available at an early-bird price of $349.99, and it comes with a 10-year warranty, reflecting the durability of the sturdy but lightweight design.

Starbucks service plan prompts surprising analyst stock-price-target revisions
Starbucks service plan prompts surprising analyst stock-price-target revisions originally appeared on TheStreet. Have a seat and let Brian Niccol tell you all about his big ideas for Starbucks () . Actually, seats are a part of the "Back to Starbucks" plan as the chief executive of the world's largest coffee chain looks to turn around a decline in foot traffic and sales. 💵💰Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter 💰 Niccol, who joined from Chipotle in September, said that pulling back on in-store seating was one of the company's biggest missteps, and he wants to fix that. "We had this strategy that I think was just a misfire of a purpose-driven store. It's like, well, the purpose is community connection," Niccol told Axios. "I think that's what got us off our game. We've got to get the seats back." Niccol made his comments during the company's Leadership Experience in Las Vegas, where Starbucks hosted more than 14,000 store managers. "It's time for us to lead again," Niccol told the crowd. "We're going to lead in warm, welcoming coffee houses. We're going to lead in innovation. Innovation to our menu." In the past several months Starbucks reintroduced condiment bars and ceramic mugs for in-house sipping, brought back handwritten notes on to-go cups and bags to foster better customer-barista connections, and returned free in-café refills to make its coffee shops feel more like homes. The Seattle coffee giant also refreshed and simplified its menu, discontinuing 13 items and eliminating extra charges for milk alternatives. In addition, the company plans to add full-time assistant managers across the U.S. to help busy stores run more smoothly. Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz reportedly was so thrilled with the strategy that he "did a cartwheel in my living room" the first time he heard about it. "It was so brilliant. It's short, to the point and it's exactly to the tip of the spear who we should be and who we are," Schultz said. "And we are, above all else, a coffee company."Niccol told Reuters that he would accelerate the rollout of the coffeehouse chain's new staffing and service model, aiming for all North American stores by summer's end. The initial plan called for just a third of U.S. stores by fiscal year-end. The Green Apron model includes in-store technology to more efficiently sequence orders, as well as dedicated baristas for drive-through orders. Starbucks initially rolled out the service changes to 700 stores. From a single store in Seattle in 1971, the company now has more than 40,000 outlets worldwide. During the company's April 29 quarterly earnings call, Niccol said it would be introduced in a third of U.S. stores by fiscal year-end. Starbucks used the Las Vegas event to unveil a generative AI assistant created with Microsoft () Azure's OpenAI, according to CNBC. It plans to roll out the system to 35 locations in June. A broad launch of what it calls the Green Dot Assist platform across the U.S. and Canada is slated for the company's fiscal 2026, which starts in the fall. Starbucks stock is up 3.1% in 2025 and up nearly 18% from a year ago. Citi analyst Jon Tower raised the investment firm's price target on Starbucks to $95 from $84 and affirmed a neutral rating on the shares, according to The Fly. The analyst also added an "upside 90-day short-term view" on Starbucks. The company's pull-forward of labor investment back into stores will likely lead traffic to recover more quickly, the analyst estimates. Tower said that while the cost of this investment remains unclear, the improvement in one-year traffic trends, particularly given soft comparisons, will likely drive the shares higher in the near he also said Starbucks's turnaround narrative remains "this will take time," as sales are emphasized before profit margins, and its long-term profitability remains unclear. RBC Capital boosted its price target on Starbucks to $100 from $95 while reiterating an outperform rating. The firm said it was encouraged following the presentations at the company's Leadership Experience. The accelerated labor deployment in particular suggests that management has increased confidence in their new strategy, translating to potential upside in revenue, RBC said. Ahead of the event, investors' expectations around fiscal 2026 earnings per share were depressed, since they considered that it would be another investment year, followed by more material traffic improvement in fiscal 2027, RBC service plan prompts surprising analyst stock-price-target revisions first appeared on TheStreet on Jun 14, 2025 This story was originally reported by TheStreet on Jun 14, 2025, where it first appeared.
