All-in-one system measures launch data via on-board computer
Winston-Salem, NC (January 26, 2009)
AccuSport International, Inc. today announced an addition to the Vector Launch System line of products – VectorX.
Vector X is the industry’s first and only all-in-one launch monitor that measures ball speed, launch angle, back spin, side spin and side angle. VectorX captures ball performance information, processes data with an on-board computer and displays the results on a color display screen. The system will ship with an embedded fitting and practice module and uses the same new micro-lens technology now available on Vector Pro.
VectorX is the perfect tool for green grass accounts that need a launch system, but don’t have access to an external computer. The system is simple to set-up, easy to use and has a battery life up to two hours. An optional external battery pack can be purchased extending A/C free life up to 6-8 hours.
AccuSport is the leading developer and marketer of golf swing launch monitors and its Vector Launch System is recognized throughout the golf industry for its accuracy, portability and affordability. “This is truly a ground-breaking new product,” said Don Thorup, President of AccuSport. “We spent a lot of time talking to fitters and teachers about developing products that make their jobs more efficient and that help drive revenue. VectorX is a home run on both accounts,” Thorup stated.
The new VectorX system provides users with an easy to use software interface for fittings or practice. Select the Profile button to see the shot trajectory, or review impact performance with the Club Analysis screen. Everything you need to do a complete fitting or offer a robust practice session is built into VectorX!
“One of the other great things about VectorX,” said Thorup “is the fact that you can also add a computer and run our new VTeach, VFit and VRange software for additional fitting functionality, video teaching and ball flight simulation. These are terrific new add-on software modules and they provide even more user flexibility with VectorX.”
AccuSport will be in Orlando for the PGA Show beginning January 29th and can be visited at Booth # 2003. VectorX and Vector Pro will be available for user demonstrations. VectorX is scheduled to begin shipping in March.
