For those who take their golf game seriously, and we mean seriously there is no substitute for hitting the driving range to improve your game. Well, there is the aboutGolf aG Studio, a new monitor and club tracking device that might make you want to hit the simulator rather than the range. This new, integrated device is powered by 3Trak, aboutGolf’s proprietary 3D, high-speed photography tracking technology.
It is designed for indoor use, and from the comfort of your own home (or other indoor virtual course) can provide data on ball speed, trajectory angle, distance, spin, club speed, angle of attack and horizontal path. The system is further equipped with 3Trak, so that the aG Studio “sees” like no other launch monitor.
“The aG Studio has raised the bar for accuracy in the launch monitor industry,” says Chuck Faust, aboutGolf’s President and Chief Operating Officer. “And with both ball and club data in one device, at such a high level of accuracy, aG Studio will make major contributions to improving golf games worldwide.”
While not exactly “cheap,” this system, which costs $12,500, includes Perform software, and it is designed for use with golf fitters, golf retailers, instructors or even game-improvement enthusiasts – or those who don’t mind paying a lot of money for the ultimate tool to help their golf game. The aG Studio promises to set up easy, with permanent installation and no ongoing calibration required. It works with both right and left-hand golfers. The Perform software includes real-time ball flight and multiple dashboards with club-fitting optimizer, spin-axis analysis and club data.
It is all enough that should help improve games, and is the next best thing to a day on the fairways.
