Dancin' Dogg Shot Making Simulator proves affordable trainer

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. -- Dancin’ Dogg Golf exhibited the Dancin’ Dogg Shot Making Simulator at the PGA Merchandizing show for the first time. It is the first advanced simulator to break under the $400 price barrier for consumers. The response from professionals, buyers, and media, was astounding. “Everyone that checked out the product and its accurate features were blown away. They couldn’t believe the value they were getting in our product. We had pros hitting balls on the simulator and their reaction was pure amazement. There simply is no other simulator that provides so much value for so little cost,” said Russell Edens, Dancin’ Dogg Golf’s president and co-founder. “As word of mouth spread, we ended up with so many people at our booth; we are still following up with everyone,” continued Edens.

The product highly impressed the teaching pros that tested the product. “The Dancin’ Dogg Shot Making Simulator is a great product. The accuracy is amazing, and it is durable and affordable. As a teaching pro, one of the biggest issues we find is that players don’t have a chance to practice and incorporate accurate feedback into swing changes. Dancin’ Dogg gives players the ability to practice with instant feedback and the ease of being at home. This is the ideal way to improve, said Lee Houtteman, PGA Professional.

Dancin’ Dogg takes Nintendo’s Wii to the next level by combining advanced swing analysis, a full simulator that plays back your swing with the EA Sports Tiger Woods video game, and video instruction, from some of the worlds top instructors; all truly affordable for home use. Fourteen advanced optical sensors accurately measure the club through impact providing feedback on your swing path, face angle and club head speed, distance carried, flight path and more.

“Dancin’ Dogg’s ability to allow a player to work on their game at home is a secret weapon. When combined with professional instruction, it allows players to take their game to the next level,” said Edens. “If you can’t get to the course to see your teaching pro, Dancin’ Dogg offers video instruction from over 26 of the top instructors in the world, including Tiger Woods’ coach Hank Haney!”

After the PGA Show, Dancin’ Dogg received the Maxwell See Ya Later to High Priced Simulator Award. “For years we have been seeing the most fabulous full screen golf simulators and launch monitors with Pebble Beach and other fabulous courses for the home user. We are all amazed and want one, but at $20,000 to 40,000 - who can afford it? Well, now we can. Dancin’ Dogg has the answer at less than $400 bucks! Oh, my...there goes the industry!” said industry insider CB Maxwell, Golf Today Magazine staff writer.

“We founded the company around providing great technology, and making accurate simulators affordable for the general public. The media folks that stopped by to see us immediately saw the quality and value as a breakthrough in the simulator market,” said Edens.
“If you want to play golf in your garage, living room, or office, go look at the Dancin' Dogg simulator on the Internet. It delivers what the $20,000 machines do, but for less than a grand,” said Parker Smith, former senior editor of GOLF Magazine.
