Our Technology

Your personal instruction at the TOUR Academy located at the Omni Interlocken Golf Club is complemented by the latest teaching technologies including V1 video analysis, and Dynamic Balance System. This collection of technology is one of the most impressive in the world and are all positioned to enhance the level of play for any golfer.

V1 video analysis allows our instruction staff to diagnose your swing from multiple camera angles as well as compare and contrast your swing mechanics on a split screen with many of the best golfers in the world. Each instructional experience will be recorded with instructional voice-overs and either copied to a CD or sent to your own personal e-mail. These resources are great for long term progression and provide inspiration after you leave the academy.

In addition to V1 video analysis, a Dynamic Balance System is also used as an instructional tool to provide real-time computer assisted feedback, designed to monitor your weight transfer and center of gravity. The DBS system provides great feedback on the body and its role during a good golf swing.
