(San Marcos, Calif., – June 10, 2024) – Today, Blast Motion, the leader in swing analysis, player development and improvement, announced a partnership with LPGA Professionals to enhance coaching through data-driven player development. By using the Blast Golf player development platform, LPGA Professionals will have access to swing and stroke information they can’t easily see, providing them with improvement insights designed to complement their coaching experience and player development programs.
“LPGA Professionals is proud to partner with Blast Motion enhancing the game of golf through innovative technology and data-driven insights,” said Nancy Henderson, Chief Teaching Officer for the LPGA. “LPGA Professionals have the opportunity to elevate their coaching with Blast Motion, harnessing cutting-edge technology to implement data into their player development routines.”
With over 325 million swings captured and analyzed, Blast is the #1 improvement solution trusted by more pros, colleges, coaches, and players at every level and skillset for player development, putting / short game / full swing improvement, and collegiate recruiting. The Blast Golf Swing & Stroke Analyzer (sensor) attaches to the grip of any putter, metal wood, iron, or wedge, providing real-time feedback for every swing or stroke by automatically sending metrics to a smart phone app (iOS and Android compatible) and generating insights that help players improve.
“Blast is truly excited to be working with 1,800+ LPGA Professionals,” said Blast Motion Vice President of Business Development & Strategic Partnerships. “Blast technology will benefit the LPGA Professionals and provide their students with real-time, objective feedback.
