'The ulitmate judge of your swing is the flight of the ball' Ben Hogan

Rory McIlroy being analysed on Flightscope.

What is Flightscope?

Hogan was right, the flight of the ball tells you everything about a shot, but only recently has technology caught up with the concept. Now the lazer tracking used by Flightscope can predict the full flight of the ball with the accuracy of Hawkeye as used in major cricket and tennis matches.

Not only can Flightscope be used to trace back to the part of the swing that was responsible for the flight of a shot, but when choosing a new driver or a set of irons, it is simply irreplaceable.

Nick Mitchell was one of the first pros in the country to buy the machine and already it has proved a hit with anyone wanting to buy a driver that hits the ball longer and straighter, or irons that have more control.

'We take out a selection of drivers or irons with different shafts and lofts. After hitting them on the range with new balls, we use Flightscope to show the flight of every shot; the carry, the run, every conceivable characteristic. With the information recorded it is easy to see what club suits best - it's a fantastic piece of kit and helps everyone who uses it'.

A session with Nick and Flightscope are available at the Golf Centre so phone this number to book and ask any questions you have - 01635 551464. A Flightscope session costs £30 but if a customer then goes on to buy a driver or a set of irons from the shop, the charge gets knocked off the bill!!
