New Link to Hot Stix Technologies Club and Ball Fitting
Winston-Salem, NC (January 17, 2006) AccuSport International, Inc., the leading developer and marketer of launch monitor technology, announced today an exclusive marketing agreement with Hot Stix Technologies, providers of the world’s leading software for custom club fittings. The two companies will team together to provide an exciting and cost effective custom fitting solution by combining Hot Stix Technologies software and the industry-leading and newly-launched Vector Pro Video Launch System. This joint product will be offered to current Hot Stix and AccuSport Vector customers (via a special trade-in deal), as well as new prospective customers. The product offerings and custom fitting sessions will be available during the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando.
AccuSport and Hot Stix Technologies have teamed together for an exclusive launch monitor/club and ball fitting solution that delivers the perfect fit based on years of industry testing and precise mathematics. Previously, this fitting data was only available to a small group of professionals and cost tens of thousands of dollars. Today, the AccuSport Vector Pro/Hot Stix Technologies solution allows fitters to take advantage of this industry research and apply it in their daily fitting practices via a reduced monthly subscription pricing model.
"When we made the decision to move to monthly subscription pricing, we knew it would be best to partner with a company with a significant number of installed launch monitor customers. AccuSport has the largest footprint in the industry and is most respected for the quality of their data. We’ve discovered great synergies between our two organizations", said Mark Timms, President of Hot Stix Technologies.
Randall Tuttle, AccuSport CEO commented, "Our new marketing agreement with Hot Stix further supports our long-term effort to drive additional club-fitting business to our retail and club fitting customers. The Vector Pro/Hot Stix solution now gives our customers an additional technology tool they can market to golfers for club and ball fittings."
The Vector Pro/Hot Stix combination turns ordinary hitting bays into turbo-charged "fitting bays" as the ball performance data is captured by the Vector Pro and then loaded into the Hot Stix Technologies software for comparison and club recommendation. The Vector Pro/Hot Stix combination can also be used in custom ball fitting with the Vector Pro gathering golf ball performance data for the Hot Stix fitting system to compare with the industry database and recommend the optimal ball.
