TECHNOLOGY But it wasn't easy figuring how to make such an expen- sive, if useful, golf device affordable for anyone outside the one percent. SkyTrak is now offering its device, which weighs less than two pounds, for $1,995. While affordability and en- tertainment are important parts of SkyTrak's allure, Allen says what users will appreciate most is the device's accuracy in terms of displaying their golf shot's shape, distance and trajectory. "SkyTrak helps golfers better under- stand on average how far they hit every club in their bag," he said. "The software provides club com- parison tools, bag mapping, stat racking and the ability to benchmark and track perform- ance over time. SkyTrak re- flects a golfer's real game, real shot shapes, real distances and real direction. All this from the comfort of the home or office, so golfers can use SkyTrak to practice and play on their own terms and time." And, that practice comes with direct feedback on every- thing from ball and club head speed to spin rate, flight time and smash factor. "Practice without feedback can lead to poor swing habits," Allen said. "SkyTrak provides detailed ball flight information as well as an accurate render- ing of ball flight and carry, total and offline distances for any shot. All data is easily tracked over time so golfers can see their improvement and identify areas that may need additional work." In fact, practice can take place soon after SkyTrak is taken out of the box as the Basic Package includes the practice driving range and no annual fees. SkyTrak also of- fers a Game Improvement Package that includes other benefits such as long-drive competition, closest-to-the pin and target practice for an annual fee of $99. The Play & Improve Package includes simulated realistic full-course play on courses such as Pine- hurst, Bethpage Black, Merion Golf Club and other benefits for $199.95 per year. Allen said that so far the re- sponse and feedback from golfers who have used Sky- Trak has been outstanding. "Our customers are seeing their handicaps decrease and improvement in many aspects of their golf game," he said. "The responses come from scratch golfers, higher handi- cap players and even begin- ning golfers who are using the system to improve and enjoy the game even more." SkyTrak helps golfers better understand on average how far they hit every club in their bag … and reflects a golfer's real game." – Andy Allen, Managing Director of Golf for SkyTrak " CLICK HERE TO SHOP FOR SKY TRACK NOW
