PuttingZone Academy owner Damon Lucas, the head of golf instruction at Lake Presidential in Upper Marlboro MD, announces the implementation of the MAT-T (Motion Analysis Technology by TaylorMade) system for full-swing and putting instructional programs and custom club fitting.
The TaylorMade Performance Lab system is one of only 16 in the US, and is the ONLY system available between Boston and Atlanta. The MAT-T system brings over $100,000 of technological sophistication to Lucas’ Golf Institute at Lake Presidential (www.golfinstitutelp.com). With the most advanced technology for monitoring, measuring, and observing the club action and the human movements that cause good and bad club action, Lucas is able to bring to bear his decades of research and teaching as a golf coach and as a putting expert trained in the world-renowned PuttingZone methods to offer golfers an opportunity to participate in programs usually reserved for only successful Tour pros.
Serving the greater Washington-Baltimore-Philadelphia metropolitan area, with 10 million people and an estimated 1.5 million golfers, Lucas’ Golf Institute at Lake Presidential is uniquely situated with the advent of the MAT-T system to offer area golfers world-class teaching and coaching, without the necessity of traveling to central Florida or the Phoenix area, where Tour pros concentrate.
Lucas commented: ” I made this tremendous investment in the TaylorMade technology because it is the best available as an adjunct to the teacher-coach, and because my facility at Lake Presidential is centrally located for both the Washington and Baltimore populations, and is not really too distant from south-central Pennsylvania and Delaware. I intend to offer the quality programs that will draw serious golfers and make Lake Presidential the premier golf instruction center in the Mid-Atlantic region.”
Geoff Mangum of the PuttingZone said: “A former Australian professional golfer, Damon Lucas has been working hard in the PuttingZone community for nearly a decade to understand and teach putting skills at the highest possible level, and now he is clearly stepping out of the pack of teachers with this new commitment. He is unquestionably one of golf’s “early adopters” of world-class technology. We all look forward to the sort of new and helpful insights Damon will be uncovering as he explores golf skills and teaching with this new technology.”
In addition to the MAT-T system, Lucas also notes the introduction February 1 of the new line of TaylorMade “Rocketball” irons for custom fitting with the MAT-T technology, as well as the use of the new FlightScope X2 system to supplement the MAT-T data.
