New Launch System Now with Fully Integrated Video Swing Analysis
Winston-Salem, NC (January 16, 2006) AccuSport International, Inc., the leading developer and marketer of launch monitor technology, announced today that its newest product – the Vector Pro Video Launch System – will make its debut at the 2006 PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando.
The Vector Pro Video Launch System software gives teaching professionals and club fitters the ability to analyze the results of actual ball performance captured by the Vector Pro Video Launch System in conjunction with visually reviewing the golfer’s swing through the Vector Pro video interface. The Vector Pro will retail for under $3,000 – a 25% price reduction from last year.
Vector Pro sets a higher standard in club fitting and video teaching swing analysis. Three years ago when AccuSport introduced the Vector Launch System, customers immediately understood the value of being fitted for clubs with Vector launch monitor data. Today, most golfers won’t buy a club without it. AccuSport believes the same revolution that occurred in the fitting industry with launch monitor data is soon to occur in golf instruction.
"We are extremely excited about our new product development with Vector Pro. The Vector Pro Video Launch System provides a complete package for teaching professionals and club fitters," said Randall Tuttle, CEO of AccuSport. "The existing Vector Launch System is in place with nearly every original equipment manufacturer and thousands of retailers and club fitters. Vector Pro Video Launch System, a completely new product platform for AccuSport, will now allow us to expand our customer relationships into more green grass accounts and teaching professionals," Tuttle said.
The user friendly Vector Pro Video Launch System is one of the most precise instruments available in ball launch technology and is recognized for its accuracy, portability and affordability. Like the original Vector, Vector Pro Video Launch System measures and analyzes launch angle, ball speed, backspin, sidespin and side angle of every shot and can be used indoors or outdoors, left or right handed.
The Vector Pro, specifically designed for teaching professionals and club fitters, has a new two camera system that captures high quality optics and provides superior accuracy. Vector Pro automatically recalibrates, allowing the data from each shot to be displayed along with the corresponding swing video, which is stored for easy comparison. The on-screen annotation provides teachers the ability to deliver lesson points, and note swing modifications. The performance reports visually display the results of club fitting and teaching sessions. Instructors will have the option of saving lessons to a student’s Vector Pro USB Data Stick for future review.
AccuSport is supporting the Vector Pro product launch with advertising, direct mail, event sponsorships and an extended media relations campaign. The company recently announced the hiring of French West Vaughan, the southeast’s largest independent public relations firm, which will handle media relations and trade show support.
The Vector Pro Video Launch System will ship on February 20. AccuSport has begun accepting pre-orders for production scheduling.
