Improve your game with CertainTee

 

A new golf swing analysis system that uses the latest advanced technology to track the human body is being launched at this year’s Golf Expo.

Aimed at any level of golfer wishing to improve by taking lessons - ‘CertainTee’ - shows golfers visually in 3D where they have been going wrong with their game and helps ensure they only reinforce good swing habits when they practise.

Top golf coach, Keith Williams says, "Having followed the development of this product from its early stages, I am very excited at the prospect of what CertainTee are bringing to the coaching world. I feel that golfers of all levels can gain tremendous benefits from high tech lessons with pros who use this type of advanced technology". Keith Williams is an ex-European Tour player and is National Golf Coach for England.

High speed stereo cameras record the full motion of every golf swing during a lesson. Powerful visual representations of the golf swing including 3D 'stereo video' and virtual reality, ensure that golfers learn from every swing they take.

Consistent with the PGA’s objective to encourage the introduction of sports science into modern golf teaching, the system allows the golf pro to pinpoint scientifically what improvements need to take place. The pro then delivers his or her lesson with much richer visual feedback. The system can be used on a driving range without the pro in attendance to provide constant feedback, using earlier pre-recorded lessons.

Virtual reality glasses (see picture) allow golfers to see themselves during their swing, building a much improved mental picture of their action - linking positions and the feel of the swing.

When the lesson is over, players are given a video, CD-Rom or DVD which can be viewed at home, or the lesson can even be downloaded from the Internet.

Managing Director Andrew Nicholson said: “I hope that golf players and pros will come and try the system for themselves on stand no. 1525 and let me know what they think.  How quickly we go into full production will depend on the reception we receive at Golf Expo.”
