About P3ProSwing
Highly accurate, versatile and portable, P3ProSwing, launched in 2003, is in use by golf instructors, club fitters and individual golfers throughout the U.S. and abroad. P3ProSwing’s extensive features include launch angle and video capture, including line drawing, further enhancing its in-depth swing analysis information. P3ProSwing offers instructors, club fitters and players a comprehensive understanding of individual swings, leading to greater game improvement.
Aside from its use for swing analysis and club fitting, P3ProSwing also includes an entertainment package with three competitive features: long drive, closest-to-the-pin and hole-in-one contests. P3ProSwing is enjoyed for its entertainment value as well as for its swing-analysis capability.
Recognized for its easy-to-use quality and superior design, P3ProSwing analyzes swings and provides for simulated rounds using high-tech graphics and sensors. P3ProSwing, used with a laptop computer and a digital video camera, allows golfers to receive instant feedback with any club, with or without a golf ball. Measurements include club-face angle, swing path, angle of attack, hit distance, club-head speed and swing tempo. Shots may be practiced from any location on the simulated golf course. Computer graphics show the ball’s flight path and actual landing location, whether in the rough, on the fairway or the green. Players may practice on the putting green or on the driving range; the advanced golfer may hone in on draws or fades. The system allows up to a foursome to play a round of golf on the included golf course, with the opportunity to add more courses.
In addition to direct-to-consumer sales from its Web site, P3ProSwing is sold through major partners including some of the nation’s largest golf retail groups, such as Golfsmith and Golf Etc. P3ProSwing is a subsidiary of Sports Vision Technologies, developing new advanced technologies in sports.
PuttingShark (www.puttingshark.com), a portable putting analyzer and simulator, was introduced by P3ProSwing last year.
