STELLENBOSCH, South Africa -- FlightScope by EDH
Sport, a premier portable indoor-outdoor ball-flight and launch monitor,
is now in use at the Brad Brewer Golf Academy at Rosen Shingle Creek
Golf Club in Orlando, Fla. The facility will serve as a showcase for
FlightScope, the world’s first 3D tracking radar for golf.
“We are pleased to have the Brad Brewer Golf Academy utilizing and
highlighting FlightScope technology,” said Henri Johnson, founder, CEO
and Chairman of EDH. “Academies around the world, as well as
clubfitters, retailers, and green-grass and practice facilities, are
embracing FlightScope’s advanced technology. The Brad Brewer Golf
Academy is leading the way in enhancing golfers’ instructional and
clubfitting experiences through FlightScope.”
Brewer is a top-100 instructor and the director of online instruction
for Golf Channel’s online academy.
“We have tried and field tested every launch monitor on the market,”
Brewer said. “FlightScope has been our choice at the Brad Brewer Golf
Academy over all others because of its amazing accuracy and simplicity
of use. Our ability to fit equipment and demonstrate the importance of
proper technique by showing ball-flight and club-path statistics has
taken our player development services to a new level.”
FlightScope, which enjoyed great success at the 2008 PGA Merchandise
Show in Orlando, Fla., earlier this month, first was demonstrated in
Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., in 2001 and was introduced at the 2004 PGA
Merchandise Show. FlightScope is in use at high-profile teaching
academies and clubfitting venues worldwide, as well as for personal
practice by tour professionals and other golfers devoted to game
improvement. It is known for its ease of use as well as the precision
and accuracy of its technology. FlightScope employs phased array and
ballistic tracking technology to record accurately the ball trajectory
and to provide actual launch data. The characteristic distinguishing
FlightScope from existing launch monitor technology is that FlightScope
records the trajectory accurately in the precise environment in which
the ball travels, thereby providing actual rather than implied data. The
resultant ability of golfers, clubfitters and instructors to see the
actual ball trajectory at various angles allows them to make precise
adjustments for enhanced performance.
EDH, maker of FlightScope, is a product development company founded in
1989 by Henri Johnson, inventor and electronic engineer, and is based in
Stellenbosch, near Cape Town in South Africa. EDH develops products for
the defense and sports markets, and has as its core expertise the design
and development of 3D tracking radar systems.
