| FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
EDITORIAL CONTACT: Focaltron's motivation to develop the GA V.A.S. was inspired by its devoted GolfAchiever I and GolfAchiever II customers who have frequently requested the company develop an ultimate system combining GolfAchiever's patented laser ball flight and golf swing analysis technology with industry standard Video Analysis capability. After two years in the marketplace (since the debut of GolfAchiever I in September 2000), hundreds of customer requests, and some unsuccessful attempts to collaborate with existing video analysis systems, Focaltron decided to move forward with the development of its own Video Analysis System for seamless integration with GolfAchiever launch monitor technology. Focaltron President Arlene Pao stated, "The company mission has long been to provide the most accurate and effective tool for golf swing and ball flight analysis. By developing and integrating GA V.A.S., the new combined GolfAchiever Technology Solution enables us to offer and support the golf industry's most accurate and comprehensive golf instruction and club-fitting system." GA V.A.S. features include 60 viewable images per second Playback, Side By Side Swing Comparisons, Drawing Tools including interactive angles, Key Frames, View Book, High-Resolution Video Capture and Replay, and Seamless Integration with GolfAchiever Ball Flight and Golf Swing Analysis Data. GolfAchiever I and GolfAchiever II systems comprise two main components: an L-Frame swing-capture unit and software. The L-Frame contains lasers, photo-detectors, and ultra-high speed electronics arranged to create a precisely mapped 'laser grid' for the player to hit through. Once a player hits a ball through the laser grid, the GolfAchiever's user-friendly software records the player's shot, immediately generates a simulated ball flight, and provides industry standard accuracy in the following golf swing and ball flight parameters: Ball Speed, Launch Angle, Azimuth, Carry Distance, Club Speed, Club Path, Face Angle, and more. GolfAchiever's launch monitor software features three main interfaces/screens: down range, analysis, and data. GolfAchiever can be used indoors or outdoors and was designed to be portable - the L-Frames weigh less than 10 pounds. Trade Pricing for the GolfAchiever I and II systems, combined with GA V.A.S., is $3,450 and $5,050, respectively. Focaltron is a technology-based company located in Sunnyvale, CA. Founded in 1996, the company's objective is to provide golf's industry professionals with a more accurate and effective means of golf performance evaluation. GolfAchiever Advisory Board members include Dr. Jim Suttie, Mr. Chuck Cook, Mr. Martin Hall, and Mr. Tom Wishon. Over 1,000 GolfAchiever systems have been sold to PGA Professionals, Golf Equipment Manufacturers, Golf Retailers, PCS ClubMakers, Tour Professionals, and Golf Consumers.
