ORLANDO, Fla. (July 26, 2009) – FlightScope®, a premier portable indoor-outdoor ball-flight and launch monitor and the world’s first-ever 3D Doppler tracking radar for golf, has named Warren Mape director of sales development for Canada. As FlightScope is experiencing significant growth throughout North America, Mape will join the existing FlightScope executive team in developing and implementing strategies to enhance the expansion.
“It is a pleasure to welcome Warren to FlightScope,” says Henri Johnson, CEO of EDH, maker of FlightScope, whose worldwide sales and marketing division is headquartered in Orlando, Fla. “His industry experience is well-suited to FlightScope’s extension throughout Canada, and we know he will be a valuable member of our team.”
Mape, of Toronto, formerly managed the Fitting & Brand Promotion division for PING, including serving as a member of the PING international fitting panel. He also was the spokesman for the company’s “Drive Across America” television campaign.
“I am proud to be joining FlightScope,” Mape says. “It is my goal to help provide golf facilities with an unmatched combination of a leading-edge product along with a great sales, service and support experience.”
FlightScope, an award-winning feature-rich device which is far more than just a launch monitor, is being discovered worldwide for its advanced technological attributes. Many golf clubs, instructors, academies, club fitters, collegiate golf programs, green-grass and practice facilities, retailers and golf equipment manufacturers have embraced FlightScope’s state-of-the-art technology.
FlightScope first was demonstrated in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., in 2001 and was introduced at the 2004 PGA Merchandise Show. In addition to its use at high-profile teaching academies and club-fitting venues worldwide, FlightScope is utilized for personal practice by tour professionals and avid golfers devoted to game improvement. It is known for its ease of use as well as the precision and accuracy of its technology. FlightScope employs phased array and ballistic tracking technology to record accurately the ball trajectory and to provide actual launch data. The characteristic distinguishing FlightScope from existing launch monitor technology is that FlightScope records the trajectory accurately in the precise environment in which the ball travels, thereby providing actual rather than implied data. The resultant ability of golfers, club fitters and instructors to see the actual ball trajectory at various angles allows them to make precise adjustments for enhanced performance.
EDH, maker of FlightScope, is a product development company founded in 1989 by Henri Johnson, inventor and electronic engineer. EDH develops products for the defense and sports markets, and has as its core expertise the design and development of 3D tracking radar systems.
