“New School” Tech Vs. “Old School” Instruction

Yesterday I came across an awesome article over on Golf.com (http://bit.ly/gSWc7n). Here is a short clip from the article:

This story doesn’t end with Pistillo tapping in for a careerbest 78. It ends the day after his TaylorMade fitting, his card bearing more triples than pars. Pistillo’s best swing is his last. From 225 yards away in the 18th fairway, he pulls 5-wood, whispers “knock down the flag,” and hits a towering comet to 12 feet. In one swing, the two schools converged. Both philosophies have virtues, Pistillo says over post-round beers. “Liam’s right — you can’t think your way through a swing. But Tom’s right, too — I’ll never be singledigit unless I fix the fundamentals. So I’m blending Old School and New School. First, practice technique; then forget it [on the course] and knock down the flag. It might be a long road.” He takes a slug of beer. “But golf’s a game for life, right?”

We at SportsVision agree that technology and the “Old School” Instruction methodologies should combine into a new, more complete methodology of teaching. This is why we came up with the P3ProSwing and the PuttingShark, to allow average people to have their own accurate, and technologically advanced training system, right in their own home.

The technology talked about in the article is great. The ability to virtually re-create your swing using 3D Modelling tools is an awesome tool to have. Its precise, and gives you great insight into your swing, your stance, and your grip. But that type of technology is extraordinarily expensive, and only available to high level schools, and the super-rich.

At SportsVision, we have currently available products that anyone can purchase and use, from just the sensors and software to use on your own computer*, to complete golf studio setups in our Ace package. We wanted to be able to give everyone the chance to work on their golf swing in the off-season, right from the comfort of their own home. And that is just what we did.

Whether you want to work on your Pendulum swing, your One-Plane swing, or your Two-Plane swing, Sports Vision has an option for you, capable of being used right in your own home.
