BETHEL, Me. (January 5, 2006) – P3ProSwing, an award-winning, highly accurate yet versatile swing analyzer and instructional aid, now has added video capture to its capabilities. This new software will allow a golfer to see his swing in action, in addition to the data already supplied by P3ProSwing, thus leading to a more visual and quantifiable result. The clubhead will be visible as it travels through the impact zone, providing a golfer and/or his instructor an additional and highly effective way to utilize the data which P3ProSwing provides.
"The video capture feature adds an important new element to what P3ProSwing offers," said Jay Russo, managing director of P3ProSwing, "enhancing the experience for golfers of every playing ability. We believe our system’s accuracy, accessibility and variety of features creates an ideal approach to swing analysis and game improvement."
Recognized for its easy-to-use quality and its design for in-home use, P3ProSwing analyzes swings and provides for simulated rounds using high-tech graphics and sensors. In addition to its home use by golfers, P3ProSwing also is in use by many high-profile golf instructors, now including Mike McGetrick and his teaching staff at the McGetrick Golf Academy in Denver, Colo. McGetrick, the 1999 National PGA Teacher of the Year, has incorporated P3ProSwing into his instructional curriculum, allowing for the provision of immediate data to each student, including such elements as ball and clubhead speed, ball swing path and angle of attack, in addition to the new video capture capability.
Touted as the most affordable swing analyzer on the market by its founder Leslie B. Otten, P3ProSwing has been lauded at various industry trade and consumer shows across the country and previously earned a "Highly Recommended" rating from Golf Digest magazine. It was featured on the television show "Live with Regis and Kelly" in a segment with avid golfer and celebrity Cheryl Ladd. P3ProSwing often is used in conjunction with eCoaching Technology, a leading sports video distance learning system.
P3ProSwing, which can be used at home with a laptop computer and a digital video camera, allows golfers to receive instant feedback with any club and with or without a golf ball. Measurements include club speed, tempo, ball flight, swing plane, club face position (in essence, whether it’s hit the "sweet spot") and distance. Shots may be practiced from any location on the course. Computer graphics show the ball’s flight path and actual landing location, whether in the rough, on the fairway or the green. Players may practice on the putting green or the driving range; the advanced golfer may hone in on draws or fades. The system allows up to a foursome to play a round on the Highlands National Golf Course, a 7,393-yard, 18-hole, par-72 championship golf course.
In addition to direct-to-consumer sales from its Web site, the P3ProSwing is sold through major partners including some of the nation’s largest golf retail groups, such as Golfsmith, Pro Golf Discount and Golf Etc. P3Proswing is a subsidiary of Sports Vision Technologies, which develops new advanced technologies in sports.
