(Carlsbad, Calif., – January 9, 2017) – Blast Motion, an industry innovator focused on 360-degree athletic improvement through software services and advanced sensor-based motion capture, is offering a 5-hour interactive workshop for coaches of all skill levels at the 2017 PGA Merchandise Show.

The Blast Connect software services can be used with or without a Blast sensor.

With 100’s of thousands of PGA and Tour Pro strokes and 3D data captured, this workshop offers unique insights for every participant.
