Spring is here!

Spring is Here!

Golf shafts and flowers… a Rene DeMane trademark! These are just starting to bloom.

Rick and Rene are ‘cleaning house’, with the pro shop being gutted before the 2021 season hits its stride. New insulation inside the walls, paint, the place is going to look like the Taj by the time Rick is through with it!

As noted previously, there are some juicy new golf clubs now in stock, and the best way to evaluate if any of the new tech will answer your prayers is to waggle, stand over, and hit them with data feedback on Rick’s Flightscope X3 and Foresight GC Quad.

The same holds true for putters. I was in Rick’s fitting room just the other day, and he was testing the GC Quad’s ability to track the ball as it came off the putters face while Rick was doing some tests. It was pretty cool to see the ball skipping along when I tried to get some loft on it. The ability to see where you are hitting the ball on the face, various metrics, is helpful… especially if you can hit enough to make a decent sample.

The PING G410 Driver is available at DeMane Golf.

Check out the G410 at our shop!

DeMane Golf is proud to announce PING has made significant advancements in custom fitting while delivering golfers the highest MOI’s and ball speeds available in the new PING G410 Plus and G410 SFT drivers. These multi-material drivers “continued to increase both forgiveness and distance in the G410 Plus driver while adding more dimensions to driver custom fitting,” said John K. Solheim, PING President. “Our new, movable-weight technology provides the benefits of custom CG locations, including directional control, without sacrificing MOI or ball speeds, which is what we’ve always seen with other non-fixed-weight drivers. The G410 Plus offers golfers a simple, logical way to customize their driver and allows them to swing away on the tee box without fear of missing the fairway. It puts tour-level fitting into the golfer’s hands. We’ve also expanded the loft and lie options with a new eight-setting, lightweight hosel that further fine-tunes ball flight.”

In the G410 Plus model, three positions (Draw, Neutral, Fade) for the ultra-high-density tungsten back weight shift the center of gravity (CG) location by 1/10" in each direction from neutral to influence left or right shot direction approximately 10 yards (20 yards of correction between Draw and Fade settings). By positioning the weight on the extreme boundary of the clubhead, the moment of inertia increases compared to the original G400 driver – ensuring golfers enjoy the added ball speed and forgiveness required to hit their tee shots longer and straighter.

Come on over to DeMane Golf to try out the latest in PING’s new drivers.

Accuracy and Fittings at DeMane Golf with FlightScope X3

The FlightScope X3 is available now for your custom-fitting at DeMane Golf.

It’s time to harness the power of today’s cutting-edge technology, the FlightScope X3, while simultaneously benefitting from a wealth of experience and knowledge offered by DeMane Golf, with a spring fitting for the 2019 season!

Rick combines three generations of golf knowledge and experience with the leveraging of today’s latest technology to the advantage of customers like you, so have at it!

DeMane Golf’s Fitting Studio includes the most-advanced 3D-tracking equipment available on the market. In fact, DeMane Golf isn’t satisfied with any one particular technology either… Rick doubles down with layers of technical redundancy to verify and confirm results.

“Our first electronic device was a Sportek Swing Analyzer.  Utilizing overhead lighting, it had a mat with sensors that captured data from the shadow line.  Club speed, face angle at setup and impact, and path info was collected. It was impressive at the time.  A weight shift platform was subsequently available —first hydraulic—then a solid state version. WAVI - Weight Analysis Video Interface was ahead of it’s time.  Dynamic weight values were displayed in a user friendly formant. All good stuff but it’s only gotten better.’

The FlightScope X3 is the preferred tracker of some of the most data-driven players on the PGA Tour, like Bryson DeChambeau. “FlightScope has been an integral part of my success on tour. I use my X3 to prepare for tournaments, capturing every single shot on the range and on the course during my practice rounds. I use X3 because I trust the data and it never misses a shot.” Data champions can trust!

“The X3 provides a tremendous amount of club and ball data. For your fitting there are screens full of detailed data, displayed in an intuitive format. so I can show you exactly what is going on  The speed profile screen provides insight on tempo and may show inefficiencies in your swing too. This is important because I don’t want to reinforce a flaw in your swing… just help you optimize your clubs and shafts by evaluating the data. The acceleration profile assists in that regard by identifying optimal shaft flex. The visual aspect clearly shows horizontal and vertical path which helps to highlight one of the contributing factors to excessive backspin… a steep vertical angle of attack.  A horizontal path view will also clearly shows its influence on spin axis and sidespin, and ultimately how it effects ball flight.”
