BETHEL, Me. (Jan. 4, 2007) – P3ProSwing, an award-winning swing analyzer, instructional aid and simulator, is now in use at the Sports Authority store in Glendale, Colo., as part of the store’s club fitting program. P3ProSwing adds a new dimension of accuracy and precision for golfers at the shop as they select individual clubs tailored to their swings.
"We are seeing more and more golfers choosing to frequent shops where P3ProSwing is used for club fitting," said Jay Russo, managing director of P3ProSwing. "We are pleased that Sports Authority has chosen our state-of-the-art technology to use with customers."
Featured recently on The Golf Channel’s "Golf Central," P3ProSwing, in use by individual golfers, instructors and club fitters throughout the U.S. and abroad, is highly accurate, versatile and portable. P3ProSwing’s extensive features include launch angle and video capture, including line drawing, further enhancing its in-depth swing analysis information. P3ProSwing provides a comprehensive understanding of individual swings, leading to precise club selection and greater game improvement.
"P3ProSwing is invaluable to us during our ‘Golf Day’ and in demonstrating our lines of clubs," said Paul Gaudet, a senior vice president of Sports Authority. "P3ProSwing works very well for our customers. It gives us an opportunity to let them test our high-end equipment and get a feel for the clubs. P3ProSwing is affordable to us while giving our customers a great club-fitting experience." The Sports Authority store in Glendale, in the Denver metropolitan area, opened Nov. 10.
Aside from its use for swing analysis and club fitting, P3ProSwing also includes an entertainment package with three competitive features: long drive, closest-to-the-pin and hole-in-one contests. P3ProSwing is enjoyed for its entertainment value as well as for its swing analysis capability.
Recognized for its easy-to-use quality and superior design, P3ProSwing analyzes swings and provides for simulated rounds using high-tech graphics and sensors. P3ProSwing, used with a laptop computer and a digital video camera, allows golfers to receive instant feedback with any club, with or without a golf ball. Measurements include club speed, tempo, ball flight, swing plane, club face position (in essence, whether it’s hit the "sweet spot") and distance. Shots may be practiced from any location on the simulated golf course. Computer graphics show the ball’s flight path and actual landing location, whether in the rough, on the fairway or the green. Players may practice on the putting green or the driving range; the advanced golfer may hone in on draws or fades. The system allows up to a foursome to play a round on the Highlands National Golf Course, a 7,393-yard, 18-hole, par-72 championship golf course.
In addition to direct-to-consumer sales from its Web site, P3ProSwing is sold through major partners including some of the nation’s largest golf retail groups, such as Golfsmith, Pro Golf Discount and Golf Etc. P3Proswing is a subsidiary of Sports Vision Technologies, developing new advanced technologies in sports.
P3ProSwing will be on display in booth #4029 at the PGA Merchandise Show & Convention Jan. 25-27 in Orlando, Fla.
