Company Posts Four-Fold Increase in Year over Year Comps
AccuSport International, Inc., the golf industry leader in launch monitor technology, announced record sales volume today in its European markets for the first six months of 2006. AccuSport, and through its English distributor ProShot Solutions (www.proshotsolutions.co.uk) increased European volume at a four-fold rate over 2005 due to the introduction of the new Vector Pro Launch Monitor System. Vector Pro delivers actual measurements, not calculations, on ball speed, launch angle, back-spin, side-spin and side angle and now seamlessly integrates a new video swing analysis tool for both fitters and teachers.
Nick Sedgwick with ProShot Solutions commented, "We’ve seen an incredible response and acceptance to Vector Pro and couldn’t be more pleased with the new orders we have coming in each day. Customer feedback has been fantastic and we’re now working with major manufacturers and prominent fitters and teachers to install Vector Pro."
One of those customers, Jean-Michel Queva, M.S. with Queva ClubFitting in France stated, "I had been using launch monitors and swing analyzers since I started in the club fitting business. As a former physicist, I prefer true measures to unreal calculations, especially for doing driver fitting. How to recommend the perfect driver head loft if your launch monitor calculates the back-spin with 70’s equations?
Vector Pro gives me real measures for back spin, side spin, ball speed, launch angleâ?¦ the "full Monty" for an incredible price. I use it to do very accurate fittings and I have added a "Select the best golf ball for you" procedure to my services which would have been impossible without the Vector Pro accuracy!
My brother, which has been certified as a Level III from the World Golf Teaching Federation, uses the accurate measures given by the Vector Pro to teach "how to increase your wedges back-spin" in my indoor practice! It’s an amazing tool."
Adam Bishop, of Southfields Driving Range in Thame England also commented "Vector adds at least £60,000 per year to my revenue. I could not operate without it".
Sedgwick reinforced AccuSport’s market acceptance by nearly every major manufacturer as an additional strength of the Vector brand. "Golf professionals know which launch monitor brand is most widely used by manufacturer R & D departments as well as sales rep forces. This endorsement has only served to strengthen our position in Europe as we’ve introduced the new features, functions and capabilities of Vector Pro. Our customers are receiving a tremendous value and translating that into revenue opportunities in both club fitting and teaching."
