Callaway's giant Tour truck
|
The
Callaway Golf Tour truck is hitting the road to offer expert custom fitting and same-day club making at a series of special
demo days, starting in the south and south-west of England. The Chessington-based equipment brand says the truck stops provide 'a unique insight into life as a Tour professional' and will be appearing at golf venues across the UK over the coming months.
In the same way that a Tour pro is fitted and his clubs expertly built on the same day, golfers attending these events will have their performance computer-analysed by
FlightScope, the radar ball-tracking system, and have their clubs made up on the spot by one of Callaway Golf’s European Tour technicians.
The impressive 28-tonne mobile facility normally builds clubs for top Callaway Golf staff pros Oliver Wilson, Alvaro Quiros, Graeme McDowell and Major winners Ernie Els and Michael Campbell. But during April it will be at three UK venues, offering amateur golfers the ultimate Tour pro experience.
The accompanying FlightScope system, newly-introduced to the Callaway demo day programme. is a 3D golf ball-tracking radar that follows the clubhead and the ball flight, feeding back information to a computer screen. It shows simulated ball flight of all shots hit giving a ranked order of statistics, including carry, speed, trajectory, spin and launch angle.
