Our state-of-the-art technology takes the guesswork out of the equation. Some of the unique technology we are using includes:
FlightScope Doppler Radar Launch Monitor. The first launch monitor of its kind to map the entire ball flight from impact to landing using Doppler radar, displaying in 3D the trajectory in real time. Launch monitors that use Doppler radar actually track the golf ball while it is in flight to gather data, as opposed to camera based systems that use high speed cameras to take a picture of the golf ball just after impact and then measure the fitting variables using calculations given from a few snapshots. Flightscope provides a complete statistical analysis of the swing and ball flight with the important club data and angles delivered in any easy to understand format. Flightscope is used by numerous players on the PGA tour and provides the data necessary to custom club fit as well as enhance the instructional experience.
V1 Digital Video Analysis is also used during the club fitting experience so we can diagnose your golf swing from 4 multiple camera angles all at 210fps. Your current golf swing as well as changes we will make plays a major role in determining your club specifications.
K-VEST TPI 3D Motion Analysis helps bring the whole fitting process together. Your Kinematic sequence has a huge bearing on head design, shaft material, kick point and weight considerations. This 3D image of your swing is critical to the overall fit and swing improvement.
Swing Labs is the finest computerized fitting system in the world. The Golf Academy by The Sports Club/LA has teamed up with Swing Labs to take your club fitting experience to the next level. Through independent testing of every golf club, shaft and ball available on the market Swing Labs can suggest the perfect club. By using both human and robotic testing they can match a specific club to your swing and gain you distance and control. Swing Labs has created the finest computerized dynamic golf club-fitting software in the world today. You as the golfer will hit a number of golf balls with a control golf club. The results of these golf swings will be captured by the FlightScope Doppler Radar Launch Monitor. The data of these golf swings will be processed by the computer and the proper golf equipment will be suggested. You will then hit the suggested golf clubs in a comparison test through the launch monitor. The golf shots will again be correlated and the golf club with the best overall performance will be determined.
You will be emailed a complete golf equipment fitting report of your session data, the selected golf clubs, golf balls and shaft selections. For ease of in store selections, the golf club fitter will also print a report at the time of your golf equipment fitting.
- The Stock Golf Club Report is generated based upon the golf club fitter’s selection of up to any three additional golf clubs. The player will then hit a number of golf shots with each golf club which will subsequently be uploaded, analyzed, and compared to the control golf club used. (The control golf club is any stock golf club that has been tested by Swing Labs at Golf Laboratories.) The stock golf club report explains the performance characteristics of the golf equipment that will help golfers optimize their shot data.
- The Best Golf Club Report is generated after the additional stock golf clubs have been hit and data has been uploaded to Swing Labs and analyzed. The recommendation is based upon actual objective data relating to the golfer and the known optimum data Swing Labs has acquired through its testing with Golf Laboratories. The report shows a rating or score next to key parameters Swing Labs uses to determine the best recommended golf club.
- The After-market Golf Shaft Upgrade Report is generated from a selection of recommended shafts shown to perform well during robot testing at the same average club head speed as the golfer. The recommended shafts take into account the effect of changes in variables such as shaft weight, flex, kick-point, torque, etc., with a goal of improving performance by narrowing the delta between the golfer’s actual and optimal golf shot data.
Swing Labs Introduces its first generation iron fitting. The Stock and the Best Iron Fitting Reports are generated using a similar process to driver fitting, except using any ‘stock’ 6 iron. The Best Iron Report incorporated detailed golf shot analysis for accuracy, consistency, distance control, and other variables particularly important to optimization of iron performance rather than being solely based upon distance.
If you are being fit for a driver, loft, shaft type and flex have been determined. The next factors to be fit are the golf club length and the proper golf club grip size. When it comes to fitting the iron sets there are more factors to be considered and you will go through a dynamic fit. Golf club type, shaft flex and type are already selected. What is left to determine is golf club length, and golf club lie angle. Also in the dynamic golf equipment fitting process you will achieve proper golf club grip type and size along with creating the proper golf club set make up. This dynamic fitting process will take what Swing Labs has selected, and make it fit perfectly to your golf game.
Will Swing Labs recommend the brand of clubs you believe you should play? Not always. Due to the launch, spin and golf ball flight characteristics, you may find Swing Labs will produce a result that is not what you expect. But, after all, you are getting matched with new products, new technologies and modern advances that are designed in a different way to produce positive results, so be open to the new choices and test them in the “Best Golf Club” segment of the golf equipment fitting. Swing Labs will provide you with the best golf shaft and head combination for your swing and a list of high performance golf club shaft upgrades for the suggested golf clubs. You will be left with a 1st choice, 2nd choice, etc. Swing Labs plays no favorites and neither do we. We fit you into the best brand, shaft, and head combinations for your swing. We also will perform “GAP” fitting, meaning the set combination will be correct for maximum distance control when you play. Nothing is left to chance.
