The PureContactâ?¢ measures ball velocity and calculates shot distance for carry and roll. The PureContactâ?¢ provides the tour pro, avid golfer and recreational golfer a great practice aid for wedge through driver shots. Improve distance control by understanding how far you hit each club in your environment today. Practice short shots and gap your clubs. The PureContactâ?¢ is battery operated and fits in your golf bag. Optimize your practice time and lower your score with this accurate and easy to use personal ball flight monitor.
The PureFlightâ?¢ measures club head speed at impact and maximum ball velocity. It also calculates shot distance for carry and roll and power transfer ratio in percent. The PureFlightâ?¢ can be used stand alone or with an optional software package containing two software applications. The PureFlightâ?¢ Practice software provides tools to upload stored shots for tracking improvement, club gapping and conducting analysis. The PureFlightâ?¢ Club Fitting software provides club fitters with a toolset for capturing the golfer’s shots real time and analyzing results for optimal golf equipment selection. The PureFlightâ?¢ product can be used to give instant accurate feedback for club fitting, distance control practice and instruction. It allows golfers to nail down exact carry yardage with each club, calibrate the yardage gaps between clubs and become more consistent in their shot making and club selection.
The PureLaunchâ?¢ incorporates the PureFlightâ?¢ measurements and calculations plus measured Launch Angle and Total Ball Spin. The PureLaunchâ?¢ computer program displays and provides for the printing of summarized graphical comparison by club tested (ball trajectory), single shot metrics and complete session statistics. This product, like the PureFlightâ?¢, is highly portable, requires no leveling, tuning, calibration and runs on either rechargeable batteries or electricity. The PureLaunchâ?¢ is ideal for fitting irons as well as woods on natural turf or mats. The unit is portable for use indoors or outdoors with internal rechargeable batteries. The PureLaunchâ?¢ integrates with numerous video teaching analysis software systems including DartFish, Interactive Frontiers (V1) and J.C. Video.
The PureBalanceâ?¢ provides golfers with direct, real time feedback to assess and correct their weight balance, center of gravity and body acceleration during their golf swing. The PureBalanceâ?¢ detects the most delicate movement of a golfer’s weight transfer vertically and horizontally and the shift in their center of gravity. This information is then displayed on your computer for analysis and review. The PureBalanceâ?¢ is easy to use, portable and integrates with leading video swing analyzers. World-renowned teacher Dr. Jim Suttie, 2000 PGA Instructor of the Year, strongly believes in the effectiveness of PureBalanceâ?¢, calling it "the single most useful training tool since the development of video 20 years ago."
The PurePathâ?¢ provides golfers with critical information pertaining to face angle at impact, swing path and tempo using a unique technology. Unlike other systems, the PurePathâ?¢ does not require any overhead lighting and therefore can be easily used outdoors or indoors. The PurePathâ?¢ operates as a stand-alone unit or can seamlessly integrate with the PureLaunchâ?¢ system creating the PureLaunch Pro.
The PurePuttâ?¢ provides golfers with immediate feedback on the solidness of their putting motion. A self-contained training program helps the golfer master all aspects of the putting stroke from start to finish. Metrics that are displayed include face angle, where the putter strikes the ball on the face and where in relation to the equator of the ball. PurePuttâ?¢ is an excellent tool to help you grove your stroke and compare various putters to complement your individual putting style. Best of all, unlike other putting trainers costing thousands more, nothing needs to be attached to the putter head or shaft.
