THORNHILL,Ontario-February 22, 2010 – NIKE Golf Canada has selected the High Definition Golf simulator from Interactive Sports Technologies Inc. for fitting and demonstrations at its Canadian Headquarters.
“High Definition Golf provides us with a precise means to demonstrate the effectiveness of NIKE clubs and balls in the convenience of our office,” said Vitalis Gomes, Director of Marketing for NIKE Golf Canada. “High Definition Golf delivers a realistic simulation experience that is truly unique to our industry and provides our sales and marketing teams with invaluable data collected by the integrated software package.”
High Definition Golf™ (HDG), the world’s most amazing golf simulator, sets a new standard in accuracy and realism for indoor golf. Designed and manufactured by Interactive Sports Technologies Inc., the system utilizes advanced stereoscopic computer vision technology to provide the industry’s most comprehensive and precise shot analysis. HDG has the unique capability to measure all critical ball and club parameters including: ball speed, club speed, launch angle, club face angle, ball spin and spin axis at high accuracy. As a result, the system is used by Tour Pro’s like Stephen Ames and Top Golf Instructors like Jim McLean, as well as numerous training centers, club fitters and golf retail stores.
“High Definition Golf simulators offer the most comprehensive analysis of a golf ball’s flight path,” said Todd Richardson, President & CEO of High Definition Golf. “From the impact of the club face and launch angle to the trajectory of the golf ball as it hurls through the air, every swing provides immediate feedback. The simulator then allows you to then go back and look at your swing path or club face angle and see how even the smallest corrections will improve your game. Our simulator provides NIKE with a controlled environment in which to demonstrate their golf clubs. We are really excited to bring NIKE on board with us.”
