CHICAGO, Ill. (Jan. 16, 2013) – Swingbyte announced a strategic partnership with Guru Training Systems, creating golf’s first fully integrated 3-D video and club metrics system. Golfers and instructors will now have access to full 3-D body and club analysis throughout the swing via Swinguru Pro.
Brussels-based Guru Training Systems specializes in the 3-D analysis of sports movement. Using its 3-D motion capture technology, Swinguru Pro brings a new dimension to golf training and teaching by analyzing golf swings in real time without any markers on the body.
Introduced in 2012, Swingbyte uses a lightweight sensor, an advanced mathematical algorithm and Bluetooth connectivity to digitize a golfer’s swing and communicate in real time key swing measurements including club head speed, swing path and impact angles.
“We are bringing together two complementary technologies that, in addition to helping golfers improve faster immediately, will permit ongoing enhancements to the data quality and usefulness of both systems for all golfers,” said Swingbyte CEO Alex Pedenko.
“Integrating Swinguru Pro’s 3-D body gesture analysis with Swingbyte’s 3-D club motion capture at last provides golfers with holistic, accurate 3-D information about the critical link between body and club,” said Brian Payne, Swingbyte co-founder. “This integration further establishes Swinguru Pro as golf’s premier 3-D swing analysis system and confirms Swingbyte’s standing as golf’s most trusted mobile swing analyzer.”
Sebastien Wulf, CEO of Guru Training Systems, said, “Adding club data to our software was a longstanding request from our customers. Swingbyte is the number one device to gather club data, and we master 3-D gesture recognition. Integrating Swingbyte and Swinguru Pro is only the first step; our goal is to move forward and add club data related skills and drills to Swinguru Golf, our new self-learning software for all golfers.”
Swingbyte will exhibit at the PGA Merchandise Show Jan. 24-26 in Orlando in booth No. 781; Swinguru Golf will exhibit in booth No. 2473.
