New Micro-lens Technology; Self Adjusting Software
Winston-Salem, NC (January 27, 2009)
AccuSport International, Inc. today announced significant changes to its Vector Pro Launch System technology. Citing a move to micro-lens technology, the company stated that users will now never need to touch the camera lenses during set-up and use.
“Our engineers spent considerable time comparing lens and filter configurations,” said Don Thorup, President of AccuSport. “What they developed is an absolutely perfect solution for the Vector Pro Launch System. Once properly set-up and calibrated, the system has always produced great numbers. The challenge for users was that the set-up process was a bit cumbersome and frustrating. This new technology truly delivers Vector Pro as a point and shoot camera with no manipulation of the lenses,” Thorup said.
AccuSport is the leading developer and marketer of golf launch monitors and its Vector Launch System is recognized throughout the golf industry for its accuracy, portability and affordability. The Vector Pro model offers a fully integrated video swing analysis application for lessons, along with a student database for storing sessions. The new VectorX platform is an all-in-one launch system that captures, processes and displays launch data via an on-board computer and display screen.
Utilizing the new micro-lens technology has significantly improved the ease of use of the Vector Pro system. “With the new hardware,” Thorup stated “a golf ball is placed in a set-up target and the system automatically adjusts for use. The software initialization process is now a ‘one-click’ step and users can begin using the system in less than a minute. It’s fast, easy and highly accurate.”
The Vector Pro Launch System can be viewed and experienced within AccuSport’s booth at the 2009 PGA Show beginning on January 29th. AccuSport will be in Booth # 2003 where visitors will be able to hit shots and review various software applications.
