Leading Technology

The Raspberry Golf Academy offers video analysis of your swing included in every lesson at all locations. Video is a great tool for slowing down and dissecting a player’s swing and is very beneficial to visual learners. It helps the player to understand that what they feel may be different from what they see, and it helps the coach to key in on areas of need in the swing. Click the title above for info on Private Instruction.

Leading Technology

3D Rendering

3D technology examines swing efficiency, hones in on areas for improvement, and can prevent future injuries. There will be no guessing when it comes to deciding what to work on and how to work on it with this tool at the instructor’s disposal.

Leading Technology

FlightScope

The Raspberry Golf Academy offers FlightScope at all locations included in lessons. FlightScope is one of the top launch monitors available on the market today. It becomes a great tool when used alongside video to also gather the more scientific information from the swing. FlightScope picks up information such as clubhead speed, ball speed, path angle, clubface angle, angle of attack, smash factor, spin rate, shot height and so much more.


The RGA Advantage

The Raspberry Golf Academy has turned out some of the most successful players, which is a tribute to our instructors and their commitment. For a list of local, national, and worldwide accomplishments, click the title above. Who's next?

The RGA Advantage

SAM Putt Lab

The SAM (Science and Motion) Putt Lab is one of the top putting analysis products on the market. By simply attaching a sensor to the shaft of the putter, essentially every significant piece of data can be gathered about the student’s putting stroke.

The RGA Advantage

KVEST

KVEST is one of the top 3D swing analysis products available on the market. This takes golf instruction to an entirely new level, as the swing can be analyzed through the entire body as sensors capture every motion throughout the swing. Sensors are placed on the student, producing an avatar on the screen replicating the student’s movements. With this device, the instructor can go into much greater detail than video and can truly understand what the student is doing and how to fix any swing issues.
