Technology
Club Champion remains on the cutting edge of club fitting and building technology, and our fitters and builders are required to regularly update their knowledge and certifications to stay current. Club Champion partners with a variety of third party technology providers, including:
TrackMan
TrackMan uses three-dimensional phased array Doppler radar that was originally developed for use in military projectile and missile tracking. It has since evolved into the leading technology for golf ball trajectory, speed, spin rate and a variety of other club delivery measurements. TrackMan measures the full trajectory of any shot, ranging from short pitches to 400 yard drives and measures the landing position with an accuracy of 1 foot at 100 yards.
TrackMan is a staple on the professional tours, with manufacturers, universities and top instructors. The PGA, the R & A and USGA all choose TrackMan for their swing and ball flight analysis, as does broadcast TV to improve coverage.
As you are being fit on TrackMan, you will see large projected graphical images in real time on our hitting screens, which will give you and your Club Champion fitter instantaneous feedback on whatever shaft/club combination you are hitting.
SAM PuttLab
SAM PuttLab is based on extremely accurate ultrasound technology. It gives the player precise real time feedback on 28 parameters of the putting stroke, including putter face angles, face rotation, swing path, impact spot, swing time duration and stroke rhythm, with all results presented in clear, easy to understand graphical reports. With over 40% of your on course strokes being putts, SAM's Putter Selection Report will help you and your Club Champion fitter find the perfect putter amongst those tested to improve your game.
SST Pure
The facts are that no shaft is perfectly round, straight or stiff throughout its length. Despite modern manufacturing techniques, every golf shaft, whether steel or composite, remains as unique as a fingerprint and cannot be fully analyzed until after the shaft has been manufactured. The principal planar oscillation plane (PPOP) is the plane of assembly in which the shaft is the most stable when striking the ball. The SST PURE
process involves identifying the inherent asymmetries within each shaft. Using patent pending state-of-the-art computer analysis, SST PURE
pinpoints and correctly aligns the PPOP in the clubhead to optimize shaft stability and performance — ensuring the uniform matching of clubs within a set and allowing each club to perform to the best of its manufactured capability. The SST PURE
equipment generates a printout that accompanies each shaft that provides visible proof that the shaft has been "PUREd" by SST or its licensees. The printout shows the shaft's performance characteristics before and after the PUREing process.
