OTHER FEATURES & USES

AimPoint: graphics showing the point at which the player should aim and the path the ball should follow on the green for a successful putt. During the putt the viewer can see how closely the ball follows the ideal path. AimPoint was launched by The Golf Channel during the PGA's 2007 Mercedes-Benz Championship and is now becoming a regular feature during many golf broadcasts. Vistas' VDI system creates and inserts the graphics using data from TPS Golf's proprietary technology.
