Truly Affordable, Portable Distance Management System Helps Lower Scores
(ATLANTA, GA) — Continuing its philosophy of offering products that make real practice more affordable and accessible for everyone, National Golf Products (NGP) — makers of THE Golf Mat — introduce The Radar powered by Zelocity, a patented distance management system featuring Doppler technology.
In a sport that demands distance control, The Radar is the first truly portable and affordable ball flight monitor that allows players of all ages and abilities to practice more efficiently wherever and whenever they want.
Incredibly fun and easy to use, The Radar sets up instantly, providing immediate feedback on shots ranging from 10 to 420 yards. Retailing for $299, it records ball velocity, carry and total distance with tremendous accuracy by taking 50,000 measurements from the moment of ball impact.
“Distance management is the single most important element of proper practice but it has never before been addressed by an affordable device that is suitable for personal use, driving ranges, instruction, club demos and other events,” says Jon Leven, CEO of NGP. “Making practice easier, more efficient and much more productive is our mission and The Radar takes this to completely new heights.”
Already drawing rave reviews from scores of top courses, PGA Professionals and practice facilities, The Radar requires no setup or calibration, allowing players to simply put it down, turn it on and start hitting.
Suitable for right and left-handed players, The Radar is constructed of rugged plastic in a sturdy rubber boot with a stand. Running on one 9V Alkaline or Lithium Ion battery, it offers a 100-shot memory that is cleared each time the unit is powered off, and can provide session averages for ball velocity and distance. The Radar is portable like no other distance management system, weighing only 11oz. and measuring just 6″ x 4″ x 1″ (H x W x D).
Like all NGP offerings, The Radar is available at better pro shops and golf-specific retailers nationwide, including all Golfsmith locations, as well as online at www.thegolfmat.net.
About National Golf Products
The only company completely dedicated to providing golfers worldwide with a suite of products that makes real practice fun, affordable, accessible and much more productive, NGP was founded in 2007 by Leven and company President Joseph Switzer. Drawing from extensive and successful entrepreneurial backgrounds, the pair initially introduced THE Golf Mat in 2007.
Utilizing a patented, high-tech composite spring embedded below fairway-length turf to encourage a proper “down and through” swing motion, THE Golf Mat quickly became the standard for players seeking a “true grass” alternative. In addition to mitigating the likelihood of wrist, elbow and other common injuries, it helps players lower scores by facilitating the proper trajectory and ball control.
Affordable and featuring a typical life-span far exceeding that of traditional mats, THE Golf Mat is used at prestigious facilities nationwide that recognize the potential to increase revenues by encouraging longer and more frequent practice sessions. These include Ansley Golf Club at Settindown Creek (GA), Black Diamond Ranch (FL), Cog Hill Golf & Country Club (IL), Coyote Ridge Golf Club (TX), Doral Golf Resort and Spa (FL), Harvey Penick Golf Academy (TX), Muirfield Village Golf Club (OH), Reynolds Plantation (GA) and the University of Notre Dame (IN).
