User-friendly system lets golfer make immediate swing adjustments via real-time feedback
AUSTIN, Texas – ProPlay LLC, a finalist on the Golf Channel’s Fore Inventor’s Only Show, wowed attendees at the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando Jan. 28-30 when they unveiled their ProPlay Sports Performance System.
There are many swing analysis software products and many high-speed cameras, but ProPlay is the only company that packages the two together at a very reasonable price.
The System includes a high-quality, pocket-sized camera designed for the golfer to take to the range, the putting green or the course and video his/her swing. Using the ProPlay camera, the golfer receives immediate visual feedback on the swing so they can see if they’re actually doing what it feels like they’re doing. Based on the visual feedback, the golfer can make real-time adjustments to the swing, which significantly enhances the quality of the practice session and helps achieve tangible results.
“Everyone who saw our product at the PGA Show loved it,” said Tim Kipley, Founder and CTO of ProPlay. “The Show was such a success that we filled orders for all the units we had in stock and spent the last couple of days shipping the units. In fact, we took so many orders, we had to place our next big factory order a few weeks early.”
Not only is the ProPlay a very high-quality product, but also is very user-friendly.
“At ProPlay we design all our products with the end-user in mind and we’re committed to providing quality products that are simple to use and that deliver results,” said Kipley. “Our products are very intuitive and are designed to be plug-and-play so that regardless of your skill level with cameras or computers you’ll be able to use our system right out of the box.”
After recording a session, the golfer synchs the camera to his/her computer and uploads the video for further analysis using ProPlay’s Scratch Swing Analysis Software, which is also included in the system.
“Our Scratch software allows you to analyze your videos by drawing lines, circles, and squares and, using the side-by-side image feature, compare your swing to a past swing to evaluate progress,” he said.
Users can build their own video library of swings of professional golfers to see how they compare with them. Additionally, users can clip their videos to focus on a certain aspect of the swing and e-mail it to their coach for further analysis and feedback.
The ProPlay Sports Performance System ships complete with the camera, Scratch Software, tripod, all necessary connectors, and a soft carrying case, all packaged in a very unique and visually appealing hard carry-case and is very competitively priced at $449.
ProPlay extends discounts to anyone associated with the U.S. Armed Forces and they will donate a portion of their profits to the First Tee of Greater Austin, an outstanding program dedicated to promoting character development and life-enhancing values in young people through the game of golf.
The ProPlay Golf Performance System is available through your local pro-shop/golf retailer or via the ProPlay Web site www.proplaysports.com. And for a limited time, 2nd day shipping to anywhere in the U.S. is included FREE with the purchase of any system. For more information, call 866-800-9433.
About ProPlay
ProPlay, LLC is located in Austin, Texas. In addition to golf, our system enhances the learning experience in a variety of sports, essentially any sport where swing mechanics are a key success element. For example, the forehand, backhand, serve, overhead, etc in tennis are all great applications for our System as are the swing and pitching motion in baseball and softball. We’ve also had very positive feedback from skydivers who attach our camera to their helmet and video their descent and from NASCAR drivers who attach our camera to their dashboard. In addition to all the above, the camera can also be used as a very portable family video camera capturing videos of the kids at the beach (it’s water and scratch resistant), at birthday parties, or on the playing field.
