V1 Pro Powers Video Swing Capture at UBS 17th
Hole Golf Challenge
PLYMOUTH, Mich. (Business Wire EON) May 11, 2007 --
V1 Pro Digital Coaching System was selected to capture swings of
participants at the UBS 17th Hole Challenge
exhibit being held at Rockefeller Center in New York City and TPC
Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida from May 4-13.
Considered to be one of the most daunting holes in golf, the plaza at
Rockefeller Center has been transformed into the iconic 17th hole “Island
Green” from TPC Sawgrass, the site of this week’s
Players Championship. The 17th hole replica
features palm trees lining the approach to the green, complete with an
intimidating water hazard and challenging sand traps. “PGA
TOUR Experiences and UBS identified V1 Pro as the only video platform
that can instantly capture and deliver the ultimate golf experience for
participants,” said Gary Palis, Vice
President, Interactive Frontiers. “While V1
Pro is widely recognized as the leading video analysis system, its
functional diversity is certainly showcased at this event.”
The free exhibit is expected to draw several thousand people and is
staffed by instructors from TPC Sawgrass TOUR Academy who will use V1
Pro to capture swings and instantly send them to participants to view
and keep as an event souvenir. "Our client, UBS, is very happy with the
quick results and excellent quality that V1 has been able to provide for
this unique event,” said Kyle Guthrie,
Director of Operations, PGA TOUR Academy. “The
staff and support at V1 developed a fine product and have adapted
quickly for any changes we have needed.” It is
estimated that the V1 Pro will capture and send nearly 20,000 swings
from the UBS 17th Hole Challenge by week’s
end.
The UBS 17th Hole Challenge exhibit will be
open daily from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and is free to the public. For more
