by Equipment Editor
Dr. Robert Grober, a professor of Applied Physics and Physics at Yale University has developed a highly advanced, yet easy to use, swing aid - the Sonic Golf System-1 - that enables golfers at all skill levels to develop and maintain a consistent swing motion that will assist in game improvement. Please see the information below that includes links to a recent feature on Forbes.com and a video link to the Golf Channel segment with Hank Haney and Charles Barkley with Charles using the System-1. Please let me know if I can send you more information on the Sonic Golf System-1. I can also provide a product sample for you if you are interested in writing a review of this product.

| Get Your Swing in Tune with the Sonic Golf System-1 |
| Sonic Golf’s electronically enabled, intelligent golf club-insert uses patented audio biofeedback developed by Yale University physicist Dr. Robert Grober to revolutionize the way we learn, practice and play golf. Vijay Singh, the most recent winner of the 2008 FedEx Cup, uses this product to help him maintain the proper rhythm in his swing.Vijay Singh started using the Sonic Golf System-1 training aid in June and the effect was immediate and dramatic. He went on to win The World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational, The Barclays and the Deutsche Bank Championship en route to the season ending FedExCup bonus check of $10 million.
Sonic Golf System-1 was recently featured on the Golf Channel program The Haney Project: Charles Barkley, a golf “reality show”. Hank Haney, Tiger Wood’s celebrated coach, is tasked with correcting Charles Barkley’s infamously horrible golf swing. In Episode two Hank chooses Sonic Golf System-1 to help Charles with the tempo and rhythm of his swing which Hank describes as “pretty much devoid of any rhythm.” The results were stunning.
“It made a great impact. He said he hadn’t hit shots like that in at least 10 years”, said Haney. “It was fun to see the smile on his face.”
“Unbelievable”, exclaimed normally cynical Barkley, noticeably thrilled with the results. The key to the System-1 is sound and the brain’s intuitive sense of melody. The System-1 uses electronic technology inserted into the shaft of your own golf club. Your swing motion is then transmitted wirelessly to a belt-worn receiver with headset that converts your swing motion into continuous musical tones. Slow swings are low pitch, quiet tones. Swing faster and the pitch and volume gets higher. With each swing you hear your own rhythm and tempo, backswing, downswing transition, and the timing and speed of your club head release. The beauty of this system is that you can actually work on your swing without a technical thought in your mind; you simply listen to the tones and try to move the pitch to different points in the swing, in doing so you can actually fix your swing faults without even knowing it.

“System-1 has helped me tremendously. I always had a good rhythm, but I never had a consistent rhythm. It’s making my swing a lot more consistent, not just with the driver but the whole game. It’s one rhythm for the whole game instead of having a quicker rhythm for irons or slower rhythm for the driver.” For more Sonic Golf information or company/product images please contact
