At the Shire Academy we understand the value of individuality. As a result we are able to offer the learner a number of ways to learn the golf swing. We are able to help the player feel the golf swing and let the learner visually see their swings and how they compare to the some of the golfing greats.
The Academy Teaching Theatre
K vest
Analyze allows the user to view video, 3-D animation, and key swing data. The following data can be collected at any position of the golf swing. There are numerous amounts of areas in which the K vest can help you:
- Alignment – Measures and displays static and dynamic alignments (degrees open/closed) of the hips, shoulders, and arms in relation to a virtual target line set by the user.
- Posture – Measures and displays static and dynamic postural alignments, including flexion/extension of the hips and right and left lateral bending of the spine.
- Hip Rotation – Measures and displays hip rotation in the backswing/downswing.
- Shoulder Rotation – Measures and displays shoulder rotation in the backswing/downswing.
- Arm Rotation – Measures and displays the amount of arm rotation in the backswing/downswing.
- Kinetic Link – Measures and displays velocities of the hips, shoulders, and arms during the backswing/downswing.
- Timing – Measures and displays timing and sequence relation of the hips, shoulders, and arms during the backswing and downswing.

S.A.M Putt Lab
A Revolution in the Analysis of the Short Game Motion. Researchers and Golf Professionals joined forces to develop the first computer aided analysis of the short game.
SAM Putt Lab is a unique high-tech system that measures and analyzes all movement details of putting and chipping. In practice mode, the short game can be improved to spectacular levels.
Whether you're trying to lower your score or get ready for the course, SAM Putt Lab will improve your play significantly! Why? It’s quite simple. It’s all to do with frames per second. SAM Putt Lab uses 150 frames per second and nothing comes close. Its nearest competitor uses only 30 frames per second. What does that mean? It means that impact can vary if you are not using 150 frames per second & therefore is very inaccurate.
