If you have seen professional golfers during tournaments reading greens with one arm extended with their fingers raised, think Adam Scott or Lydia Ko, you’ve witnessed the Aimpoint green reading system, a method of reading the break of a putt with accuracy and consistency.
Offered at the new Leadbetter Golf Academy (LGA), which went into full swing in October, students who attend the academy will also benefit greatly with the use of several technologies to help them with their swing and game.
With over two decades of coaching experience and 12 years working for LGA globally in Korea and Indonesia, Stephen Moriarty, Director for Leadbetter Southeast Asia explained LGA’s strategy, “We really wanted to create a unique learning environment for academy students and to help them truly understand what breaks down in the different parts of their games. Technology plays an important role and helps provide the coach with a better understanding of student faults."
Elaborating on the technology employed at the LGA, Moriarty explained, "We have two different teaching rooms. One is used by multiple people featuring cameras, a high-resolution pressure plate and launch monitor technology. The other is a dual-purpose room with an indoor putting studio using SAM Putt Lab and high-speed cameras. SAM Putt Lab lets us look at over 40 different putting parameters and helps to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of students. It also provides simple visual feedback for students. We have also GEARS golf, which is an optical tracking system that captures body and club movements. It is one of only a handful of the systems being used in Asia and provides the most accurate information for coaches. The system creates an avatar similar to what you see in the movies and allows us to look at the student's movements in 3D from all angles. The room can also be turned into an indoor hitting studio when the weather is bad by utilizing Trackman."
