free revolutionary tools for golf instruction
ST. PETERSBURG, FL--(7/31/02)--BioVision Sports System, the most sophisticated
and comprehensive diagnostic teaching tool ever developed is now available
for PGA Instructors to use FREE OF CHARGE on the Web. BioVision Sports
is looking for PGA teaching Pro's to help students review their captured
swings using BioVision Sports Technology (http://www.biovisionsports.com/tech.html).
"This revolutionary technology is going to change not only the way golf is taught but tennis and other sports as well," said world-renowned instructor David Leadbetter (http://www.biovisionsports.com/endor.html). "A lot of times we have to use video so that people have a better understanding of what is really going on. Once a player actually sees what they're doing from the three-dimensional viewpoint of BioVision, it's going to be a big-plus for teachers." Leadbetter is so impressed with the technology, he became a company investor. Likewise for former U.S. Open champion Corey Pavin, PGA winner Steve Elkington, British Open titlists Bob Charles, along with Peter Kostis and Gary Wiren (http://www.biovisionsports.com/endor.html). All believe BioVision is the most advanced teaching system ever developed and that it can help everyone from beginners to professionals.
BioVision combines the science of biomechanics and physics with computer graphics to accurately capture, replicate and analyze body motion on a computer screen in four-dimensional form. Utilizing six high-speed 240Hz cameras and BioVision Sports Software, the system scientifically diagnoses subtle swing flaws. Each lesson reinforces proper fundamentals and mechanics, dissecting body movement from every angle, and provides invaluable information for your instructor to help refine your game.
"The technology is unbelievable and the accuracy with which you capture the swing is amazing," said Dan Forsman, a four-time winner on the PGA Tour.
During the research and development stage of BioVision, thousands of amateur golfers paid $300 to have their swings analyzed. Master PGA professional and top teaching pros helped designed the programs for the BioVision Sports Analysis System.
"What a terrific, eye-opening experience," said Shirley Spork, a Master LPGA professional. "It has helped me understand the proper swing plane: lower and upper body motions in exact sequence!"
"I found your BioVision Sports System an extremely beneficial teaching aid, which required no set up effort on my part. It is very easy for my students to have their swing captured digitally, and just as easy to analyze the swing with all of the computer tools found on your website. The first student I worked with, after only 5 minutes of analyzing his swing, we found his error, and more importantly, he saw the error. He understood the cause of the error and we were able then to apply a cure, which has become permanent and lowered his handicap by 5 strokes in just the first 2 months. I thank you for the opportunity of benefiting from the BioVision Sports System and look forward to working with you again in the future." Brian Lake, Head Golf Professional, Isla Del Sol.
BioVision has been prominently featured on all major sports networks and CNN. Countless PGA Tour and Senior PGA Tour tournaments have used the technology to analyze swings during live television broadcasts. The BioVision library of touring pro swings includes Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Tom Kite, John Daly and more than 150 world-class players.
"It's by far the most advanced method of swing analysis to come to network golf coverage," said Senior PGA Tour golfer Bob Murphy, a five-time winner on the PGA Tour and former ESPN analyst. "We can now show the folks at home exactly why a Greg Norman can hit the ball so far or why Miller Barber's unorthodox swing can produce such consistent results."
For $99, golfers can have their swings recorded indoors or outdoors, at Corporate Outings (http://www.biovisionsports.com/corp.html) or on the driving range, detailing everything from club path and club-head speed anywhere during the swing, to hip and shoulder rotation. The easy-to-understand information will be stored in a member-only website that features a special template to break down every aspect of your swing. This way, golfers can work with their PGA pros or instructors at home or away, chart their progress, and compare their swings to past performances or with marquee players. Golfers and teachers will even be able to view the swing from different states simultaneously. Ultimately, distance learning from top-name instructors will also be available.
"It's a tool so they can see things they never saw before," said BioVision founder Ken Kline, who helped pioneer the technology. "Any PGA pro can access this information for free through the web."
