The Golf Academy is pleased to offer its clients with the latest in golf teaching technology — the K-Vest. With three wireless sensors that strap to the student’s back, waist and wrist, K-Vest uses motion software to capture all elements of the golfer’s swing from set-up, impact and follow through. Detailed information is then communicated to the instructor’s laptop for review.

K-Vest studies six elements of the swing, and measures them in varying degrees of rotation, tilt and bend:

• Alignment at Address
• Posture at Address
• Hip and Shoulder Turn at Top
• Hip Position at Top
• Hip Movement during Swing
• Spine Movement during Swing

Once the software has captured the quantitative results from the golf swing, it compares the details of your swing to an ideal range. Personal results that lie within the ideal range are highlighted in green; those that lie outside the range and need improvement are show in red. Each time you prepare to swing, a chirping tone will indicate that you have achieved the correct level of rotation, tilt or bend, in your backswing.
