V1 Sports introduces V1 Pro Studio featuring all-new vertical force graph
V1 Sports has announced the release of its V1 Pro Studio – the 11th release of V1 Sports’ video analysis software.
The latest edition of the brand’s analysis software technology features an all-new vertical force graph with data generated by a fully-integrated V1 Pressure Mat.
The vertical force graph measures the amount of push or pull the golfer is generating on the ground relative to their bodyweight. With the V1 Pro Studio, the pressure and velocity graphs now display higher resolution and more accurate data.
The graph is aided by the fully-integrated V1 Pressure Mat, which is supported for four-camera systems and is designed to supercharge the amount of data an instructor can glean from each of their students’ swings.
The product utilizes a V1 USB 3.0 Premium HD camera designed for excellent image quality with ultimate low-noise performance – at frame rates up to 240 fps (full resolution).
Speaking on the release of the V1 Pro Studio, V1 Sports CEO Bryan Finnerty stated
“The V1 team is excited to present V1 Pro Studio, the most powerful studio software on the market for video capture, swing analysis, and lesson creation and delivery. Continuing a proud heritage of cutting-edge, industry-leading video lesson platforms, V1 Studio is truly a ‘Next Generation’ advance in the user experience for golf instructors and their students.”
The new software now also allows coaches to record real-time videos with audio using their live cameras and microphone to create tips, drills and original content directly through the V1 Studio Pro software.
Additionally, upgrades include the separation of the pan and zoom tools which aims to allow ease of access and gives the two tools their own home on the main screen. The new software also features crash reporting, automatically reporting crashes and other software issues directly to the V1 Sports’ U.S.-based support team.
Per the company, advanced diagnostics enable speedy customer support while future updates to V1 Pro Studio will include in-software support chat and the ability to create tip and drill videos through real-time recording (with full audio).
V1 Pro Studio is being released initially to current Studio and Complete subscribers. New customers can try V1 Pro Studio on a Free 30-Day Trial Basis here.

Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.

“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.
