An Indoor–Outdoor Analyzer
for Use at Home or On the Practice Range
This unique swing analyzer was
designed primarily for use at home or
at an outdoor driving range. However,
it can also be used indoors and requires
no overhead light to function properly.
A very important feature is that it
can be used outdoors, even in bright
sunlight. It is the only infra-red swing
analyzer in the world with this capability—and
since infra-red technology is the most
accurate and reliable way to measure
golf swing parameters, this is a major
advantage. It is the result of new patented
technology developed by Golftek.
The machine is battery powered, portable
and easy to move from place to place.
It is fitted with an artificial grass
hitting surface and the electronic components
are protected from the outside environment.
No other consumer swing analyzer has
these features. |

SwingScan employs a reflective detection
system. A series of narrow high speed infra-red
beams are projected vertically and are reflected
back down when a clubhead or ball interrupts
the beam. The reflected light beam is detected
by sensors which allows the system to measure
the position and speed of the clubhead or
ball. This type of system is sensitive to
the reflectivity of the sole of the club.
And since clubs are made with a variety
of metals and also with different contours
on the sole plate, reflective properties
between clubs varies considerably. In order
to calibrate the analyzer to provide accurate
data with any club, it is necessary to add
a consistent reflective surface to the sole
of the club. This is accomplished by installing
a strip of common 1/2 inch white adhesive
tape along the leading edge of the sole
of the club. When installed properly, the
tape will last for the entire practice session.
Taping is a very simple procedure that requires
no alignment aids. Some clubs will function
well without tape so it is not always required.
If you would like to have your own private
practice area with a personal golf swing
analyst, SwingScan is the answer. You can
practice year round, keep your swing under
control and even use the machine to evaluate
new clubs before you buy. At $1,595.00 it
costs no more than a few days at a golf
school or a set of high-tech metal woods
and it will provide your family and friends
with valuable golf swing information for
years to come.
