SCOTTSDALE, AZ (January 18, 2006) – The launch of a groundbreaking product, sponsorship of a pre-show Media event, and celebrity appearances in their booth have officials at Zelocity excited about their participation in the 2006 PGA Merchandise Show. Nearly 50,000 attendees are expected at the show in Orlando January 26-29.
Zelocity, distributor of portable golf performance monitors, is launching its new PureContactâ?¢, a ball flight monitor for the avid golfer utilizing the latest in radar technology. At $395 suggested retail, PureContactâ?¢ is the first low-cost monitor on the market that is geared toward the individual player’s use. PureContactâ?¢ measures ball velocity and calculates distance, and like all Zelocity’s radar-based ball flight monitor models, it tracks shots of 20 to 420 yards.
Highlight of the week for Zelocity will be guest appearances in the booth (No. 6614) by world-renowned golf instructors, all of whom utilize Zelocity products.
First up is Dr. Jim Suttie, who will appear on Friday, Jan. 27, 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. Suttie will demonstrate one of Zelocity’s new products, the PureBalanceâ?¢, and how it is used in instruction to improve weight shift and posture. Says Suttie, "PureBalanceâ?¢ is the single most useful training tool since the development of video 20 years ago."
Also on Friday at the booth from 1-4pm is Tom Wishon, owner of Tom Wishon Golf Technology, who will be signing his new book "The 12 Myths That Could Wreck Your Golf Game" and his recent book "The Search for the Perfect Club." In addition to the book signing, Tom will answer questions about club building, fitting and how the PureLaunchâ?¢ is being used to help golfers purchase the correct clubs for their game.
Next comes Jim McLean, who will be in the booth on Saturday between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. All of the Jim McLean Golf Schools will begin using Zelocity’s PureLaunch, PureFlight and PureContact products in Florida, Texas, California, Michigan and the Bahamas.
Next in the lineup is Scott Sackett, Director of Instruction at the PGA TOUR Golf Academy and among Golf Magazine’s America’s "Top 100 Teachers," who will be at the booth on Saturday from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. "The PureLaunch ball flight monitor by Zelocity has proved to be a great teaching tool," said Sackett. "I’ve found this product to be very easy to use, reliable and accurate. I use the PureLaunch for both short game and long shot instruction. My students improve faster from seeing the results of my instruction quantified. They gain a clear understanding of the swing adjustments I’m recommending when they see their improved ball speeds, carry distance, solidness of contact, launch angle and ball spin."
The PGA Show week kicks off for Zelocity with its’ co-sponsorship of a media golf event on Tuesday, January 24 at Royal St. Cloud Golf Links, along with GolfOrlando, TourEdge, and Etonic. Over 150 media have been invited to participate in this event, which includes press conferences, product testing, golf tournament, product give-aways, and plenty of food and beverage throughout the day.
Next up is the annual Demo Day at Orange County National on Wednesday. All of Zelocity’s products can be found and utilized at several equipment companies’ hitting stations at both the demo day on Wednesday, and at their booths throughout the show. Vulcan Golf, Feel Golf, MacGregor Golf, Element 21 and Magique Golf are among the companies using Zelocity monitors.
