Unlike other putter-fitting software which tracks the golf club, the Quintic Software tracks the performance of the golf ball using motion capture of up to 260 frames per second.
As a putt is launched, the software automatically recognises markers on the golf ball and immediately produces fully digitised analysis of each putt by tracking the golf ball for the first 30cm of a putt. It then displays the ball speed, sidespin (cut or hook), angular rotation (degrees & RPM), vertical bounce, launch angle and point at which true roll occurs using graphics.
The average range, standard deviation and consistency of each putt is automatically updated after each putt and saved into a session folder which allows for easy comparison when using different putters and altering putter specifications.
“The Quintic Software is pioneering as we track the golf ball - as opposed to the golf club – in order to measure the performance of the ball,” says Hurrion, who has led the development of the new software. "Once you know what is happening to the ball, it is easy to provide expert advice on how to alter the putting stroke, posture, change the set-up of the putter or even recommend an entirely different type of putter.
“By producing pictorial graphs and numeric tables of all the various elements of the analysis software, it makes it extremely easy to interpret exactly what is happening with each putt.”
