TrackMan Golf is the industries best golf swing and ball flight-tracking software. This revolutionary technology has changed how many coaches look at the golf swing because it has changed how we now look at the ball flight laws. TrackMan accomplishes this by focusing more on the one single aspect that makes the golf ball do what it does, impact. As it stands now, I’ve found too many golfers thinking the complete opposite of what really happens. This makes it extremely difficult for a golfer to improve since they don’t understand what really happens. From my experiences golfers who have become knowledgeable of what they are doing at impact and understanding of ball flight laws, have been able to make the subtle adjustments necessary to improve control over their ball flight.
Using TrackMan for practicing helps a golfer truly understand their tendencies in ball flight. Having this knowledge of how far a golf ball travels in the air, and knowing their dispersions patterns of each club is vital to improve golf scores. If each golfer plays to their specific strengths, then golfers would find themselves shooting better golf scores. One unbelievable module that TrackMan offers is the Combine Test. This standardized test has made benchmarking a students ball control skills extremely important in being able to monitor ones progression. This test will compare your ball control skills to those from golfers around the world with similar handicaps, a handicap you choose to reach or even comparing it to a touring professional. Any junior golfers looking to play at the collegiate level should take this Combine Test since your scores can be compared to those golfers currently playing at the level you desire.

The Power Accelerator™- Helping Golfers Develop a More Powerful, Consistent Golf Swing
The Power Accelerator™ is like no other swing aid on the market. Developed by a weekend golfer to correct persistent flaws in his own golf swing, the Power Accelerator can improve the accuracy and increase the power of your swing.
The Story Behind the Power Accelerator
I invented the Power Accelerator because my own golf game was less than stellar. For years, I made regular trips to the driving range in an attempt to develop a respectable golf swing. But no matter how hard and often I practiced, my weekend rounds of golf usually ended with the same frustrating result: a higher-than-desired score caused by erratic shots off the tee and in the fairway. Finally, I decided to get serious and do something to improve my swing. I searched for a training aid that would address my particular problem, but I never found one that I thought would be effective. As a last resort, I decided to make my own. Out of a bungee cord and a few nuts and bolts, I fashioned a contraption that looked more sinister than helpful. Nevertheless, I headed to the nearest driving range to try it out. From the very first shot, I noticed that I was striking the ball with more consistent authority. I also noticed that the distance increased and the accuracy of my shots improved significantly. Immediate feedback–and it was all good!
How the Power Accelerator improves your swing
**Generates a powerful downswing
**Helps you accelerate through the shot
**Prevents swaying
**Enables you to strike the ball solidly
**Builds core muscles used in the golf swing
**Teaches muscle memory
We all know how difficult it is to take your practice range shot-making ability over onto the course. We hit it great on the range, but when we get onto the course, it seems to all disappear. A unique feature of the Power Accelerator is that you can actually play a round of golf while wearing it. Because the Power Accelerator works so well in terms of increasing distance and improving accuracy, wearing it on the course helps build confidence in your swing where you are not afraid to “let it all go” at the bottom and truly accelerate through the shot. You will find the results to be amazing.
Proven Test Results on a Popular Golf Analysis System
The Power Accelerator was tested on one of the most respected Golf Swing Analysis Systems on the market. The results below show while wearing the Power Accelerator, overall distance increased and accuracy tightened significantly.

According to the National Golf Foundation (NGF), golf rounds are declining, and more and more golfers are leaving the game. When asked why they left, most golfers said the game was just “too difficult”. The fact is over 85% of golfers struggle with a severe hook or slice and are looking for some sort of “miracle” to help their game. Well, Polara Golf has the answer, and it’s not magic, it’s physics. Introducing the World’s Only Self-Correcting Golf Ball. The unique dimple design of the Polara Self-Correcting golf ball transforms your hooks and slices into longer, straighter shots. It removes the frustration and makes the game of golf fun again.
Polara Golf offers four different Self-Correcting golf balls. The original Ultimate Straight™ and Ultimate Straight XS™ golf balls are designed for golfers whose #1 priority is to control hooks or slices. The radical sidespin-reducing characteristics of the Ultimate Straight™ and Ultimate Straight XS™ correct wayward shots by up to 75%. For the player who still needs some help correcting hooks and slices but is looking for Extra Distance, Polara has the new advanced XD™ and XDS™ golf balls. These golf balls reduce hooks and slices up to 50% and have a higher, more traditional trajectory than the original ball, resulting in added distance.
“We gave the new XD™ and XDS™ golf balls a different lift and drag profile to make the ball fly higher, resulting in more carry distance,” said David Felker, PhD, and Head of Technology for Polara Golf. “Now recreational golfers can choose the ball that is best suited for their game. Depending on how much slice & hook control a golfer needs and how a golfer hits the ball will dictate which Polara golf ball best fits their swing. The good news is either ball is guaranteed to improve your game!” Like the original Ultimate Straight™ and Ultimate Straight XS™ golf balls, the new XD™ and the XDS™ golf balls are designed to help golfers increase their enjoyment of the game, and are perfectly fine for the recreational golfer to use every Enrollment: day on the course.
GolfTEC Lessons
After millions of golf lessons, countless research studies and ongoing feedback from clients, GolfTEC has concluded that a sequential approach to golf lessons is critical to building repeatable skills and lasting results. Sequential lessons are one of the five factors required for maximum improvement. As a GolfTEC Coach improves your swing, they will follow a ground-up, start-to-finish sequence that builds one good motion on top of another:
- Address – the critical foundation of all good golf swings
- Backswing – the initial movement that sets up the rest of the swing
- Top – an athletic, fundamentally-sound top position maximizes the odds of success
- Downswing – the most difficult, and arguably most important, move in the swing
- Impact – often called the moment of truth; it is the natural result of all previous moves
- Release – an effective way to control and alter trajectory and shot shape
- Finish – the reflection of a controlled swing and solid mechanics

Billy Bondaruk Golf
Most golfers share a common misconception about how their weight shifts in the golf swing: they believe that weight moves from the left foot to the right foot during the backswing (for right-handed players). Actually, the weight-shift in a powerful, on-plane swing is not from side-to-side. If you study today’s best tour players, you’ll find that they shift their weight upward as with a cyclone or tornado. The amateur golfer’s overlooks how rotation works from ground pressure and how it moves upward through their bodies. Billy Bondaruk 2006 N C PGA Teacher of the Year: At Harmon Golf and Swansea C.C.

Sun N Air Golf Center
Practice Pro Putters
As we are often told, the best way to lower your handicap is to reduce the number of putts in a round. The problem is, practicing your putting is a mundane and unrewarding task. That is until now. The PracticePRO is a revolution in the way you practice. Off center contact negatively effect both distance and direction. The PracticePRO forces you to correctly strike the ball, or the putt will leave the face at a severe angle. Our unique face geometry is CNC milled into the stainless steel clubhead, offering INSTANT POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE FEEDBACK. Because the face design is integrated with the head, shaft and grip, putts that are struck correctly roll online and feel solid. Putts that are struck off center, or with an open or closed face, make contact with a corner of the patent pending face geometry. This incorrect contact feels soft and causes the ball to leave the face severely off line. Without looking up, you know you have mishit the ball, and can continue with your next putt without breaking form. This allows you to quickly groove a consistent stroke and improve ball striking. The PracticePRO requires no tape, assembly, or bulky mechanisms, and will therefore be the one putting aid you will use over and over again.
