PG Professional Golf Introduces New Vector Pro Launch System by Accusport

SUGAR LAND, TX (January 2, 2007) — Need to fit clubs? Need to give a lesson? Now you can do both! PG Professional Golf, the world’s largest recycled golf ball company, today announced that it will be distributing the new PG Professional Golf Vector Pro Launch System by Accusport.

The PG Professional Golf Vector Pro Launch System delivers launch monitor data with video swing analysis for both fittings and lessons. Club fitters can easily, and without additional expense, increase the value of their sessions by incorporating video swing analysis. And now, instructors can simply incorporate launch monitor data into their lessons for immediate feedback on suggested swing changes.

Golfers can immediately see data that shows the effect of even the slightest changes in grip, swing and stance. Instructors can now annotate on screen, review swing mechanics with their students, and store and compare actual ball performance data with selected swings. Club fitters can also enhance their customer interactions by delivering added value by allowing their customers to record, review and store swing video and ball performance data for future club purchasing sessions.

“My partners and I all have backgrounds as golf professionals and we feel that the Vector Pro Launch System is an invaluable tool for golf professionals in their club fittings and lessons.” said Gary Krueger, President, PG Professional Golf.

The accuracy of the Vector Pro Launch System is impressive. It measures ball speed within 0.5 mph, launch angle within 0.2 degrees, backspin and sidespin within 150 rpm and side angle within two degrees. The golf ball is on the face of the club for about 300 microseconds. In that precise instant a lot of things have to be done exactly right. Within one millisecond, the Vector Pro Launch System takes two photos of the ball. Then its sophisticated software instantly analyzes those photos and displays the data.

The technology that makes the Vector Pro accurate and easy to use once cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. in the last five years computers have become fast enough and digital imaging inexpensive enough to make the technology affordable to all golfers.

Our flight model was developed through thousands of hours spent in the lab, performing wind and range testing, and in tests with golf equipment manufacturers. The Vector Pro camera data combined with our flight model projections allow the Vector Pro Launch System to accurately display each shot's offline, carry, roll, and total distance.
Data from our flight model enables you to perform fittings and instruction with precision not previously available. In particular, our flight model is providing a new framework for determining the optimal spin and launch angle of a golf shot.

Lightweight and compact, the PG Professional Golf Vector Pro weighs less than 5 pounds and is easily transported in a convenient carrying case. A quick set-up makes it ready to use in less than one minute. It works with right or left handed golfers and with all clubs, on hitting mats or turf, and with or without a tee. The launch monitor can be used indoors or outdoors, and has both AC power and self-contained rechargeable batteries.
PG Professional Golf Vector Pro Launch System has a suggested retail price of $2,995.00.
