Computer graphics may be applied to highlight strengths and weaknesses and even compare you to Tiger Woods!

K Vest

K Vest brings you the most advanced motion capture and analysis technology. Providing real-time data, coupled with instant biofeedback, the K vest makes it easy to identify swing faults and to correct them, resulting in dramatic improvements in performance. 3 wireless sensors attached to the body can measure movement of the shoulders, hips and hand position and rotation capturing movement at every point of the swing.

Sam Balance Lab

SAM BalanceLab is one of the most accurate weight distribution technologies in the World. The technology works by measuring static and dynamic foot pressure distribution allowing you to see precise weight distribution throughout your golf swing. With 2500 individual sensors, the force plate is able to present precise readings in both 3D and 2D graphical representation.

Sam PuttLab

Sam Puttlab marks a new dimension in putting analysers. It uses ultrasound technology to map the three-dimensional movement of the putter throughout the putting stroke. This analysis and training system is based on accurate ultrasound movements and analyzes the 28 most important parameters of your putting stroke. Three miniature ultrasonic transmitters are housed in the triplet unit attached to the putter. Signals from these transmitters are collected and processed by the receiver unit mounted on a small tripod. Within seconds the system gives you an individual feedback on your putting strokes displaying the results in easy to understand graphic reports.

Sam Puttlab can measure parameters that include:

·   Swingpath
·   Face rotation
·   Speed and acceleration
·   Swing duration
·   Point of impact on the putter face
·   Dynamic loft at impact
