High Definition Golf™ Introduces Revolutionary Club fitting System

New system will allow customers to compare clubs with ease and precision

Ontario,Canada – April 19, 2010 – Interactive Sports Technologies is pleased to announce the release of a new precision and easy-to-use club fitting system for use in High Definition Golf simulators.

Professional club fitters take into consideration many factors when fitting clubs to a golfer. Whether it is a student just learning the game or a seasoned professional with years of experience the right fitting and most comfortable clubs will ultimately determine how well an individual will play the game.The big question is where do you start? Today, with so many choices in the marketplace, clubfitters need a better tool that will help connect the golfer to his or her perfect clubs.

After studying the club fitting industry for many years, the engineers and scientists at Interactive Sports Technologies have developed a club fitting system that is easy-to-use and integrates seamlessly into the HD golf simulator. The HDG™ club fitting software uses advanced computer vision technology to make a comprehensive series of highly accurate measurements in “real-time” which are then displayed on the simulator touch screen and large display screen for instant feedback. Using the intuitive user interface, the club fitter can track every club, shaft or even golf ball being tested and will allow the club fitter to gap every club in their customers bag. As a result the customer will be rewarded with a bag full of clubs that fit well and are fine-tuned for their level of play.

Using this advanced tool, club fitters can study the data they receive and then make recommendations based on key performance indicators that can now be captured and displayed by the golf simulator. These include shot distance, ball speed, club speed, launch angle, club face angle and ball spin. Additional ball and club measurements include shaft flex profile, club head acceleration, position of maximum club head speed, angle of attack, load factor and even swing tempo.

“We believe the simulator is the ideal environment for testing and comparing clubs. The simulator and the software literally watch and record everything the golfer does with extreme accuracy. In return, it displays that information in an organized way, that is easy to understand, and easy for club fitters and clients to work with,” says Todd Richardson, President and CEO of High Definition Golf simulators. “In general, there is a lot of science behind the way we develop products, but the key to our success has always been our ability to translate that into real-world tools.”

The HDG™ club fitting software is FREE to HDG™ customers and can be downloaded simply by pressing the software update button on their golf simulator touch screen.

Comprehensive and Accurate Measurement

HD measures ALL critical object & club parameters to analyze every shot. At minimum 4 cameras work together during the player action sequence. They analyze club head speed, launch angle, swing path, object contact (heel/toe), club face (open/closed) and smash factor.

These comprehensive measurements are critical, but the accuracy of these measurements is equally important. HD Simulators measure with supreme accuracy. For example, we measure club face angle contact to within 1/10th of 1 degree and ball spin to +/- 100 RPM.

Simulator Quality

HD Golf Simulators™ redefined the Gold Standard in build-quality and integrated technology. Quality in a refined packaged is immediately obvious from first swing and makes your ownership experience a true pleasure. Our steadfast commitment to the ‘exceptional’ combined with minimal operating and maintenance costs ensures unparalleled reliability for years.

HD Golf™ has extensive engineering capabilities extending through our hardware, software and mechanical design. We design & build all critical system components in-house and ensure seamless system integration. Most competitors cobble together third party hardware and software to make their simulators – resulting in compromised reliability & system incompatibilities.

We are committed to ‘only using’ top quality professional-grade components such as: High Performance, ‘Intelligent’ Cameras, Professional Engineering Workstations, Linux Operating Systems, Multi-Element Screens and Spring-Set Nylon Turf. Collectively, our systems deliver unrivalled quality, superior performance and exceptional reliability.

Competitors typically use lower cost, inferior components, such as: Home PC’s to run their simulators, which tend to suffer from instability and frequent required updates. They also use polypropylene turf, single element-screens with high elasticity-rebound and reduced longevity. Both screens & turf last a half-life when compared to our in-house designed screens & turf. Other areas of compromise extend to their third party cameras which capture your swing, but don’t form a complete alliance with the rest of the system.

Player Improvement

HD Golf™ was the first to develop a completely integrated Professional Golf Studio, ensuring Teaching Professionals, Clubfitters and Individuals have the best tools available for game-improvement.

Video Swing Analysis, 3D Motion Analysis, and Weight Transfer / Balance Analysis are all designed with one purpose: make you a better golfer.

In reality, a golf swing happens very quickly, and can be difficult to improve, especially when you don’t have analytics and recording technology to visualize the swing. Subtle adjustments can result in dramatic improvements – it’s critical you understand your individual swing dynamics. You don’t need to be computer savvy to use the Golf Studio. The integrated Golf Studio operates from a single touch screen, and is simple to use.

Jim McLean’s 8 Step Swing, which incorporates the swings of Ernie Els, Ben Hogan and Tiger Woods, is an additional feature many HD Golfers decide to add to their simulators. Step by step, a golfer is able to perfect every element of their swing. The simulator records and analyzes a golfer’s swing in real time. When the system detects that the golfer’s position and swing are out of the “corridor of success” or have committed a “death move”, the simulator will automatically alert the golfer and present virtual coaching from Jim McLean.
