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. 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.
