Quintic Ball Roll v2.4 is launched… 200fps!!!
April 23rd, 2010 | Quintic Ball RollQuintic Ball Roll is the brainchild of Dr Paul Hurrion who is an internationally recognised Sports Biomechanist. Dr Hurrion is perhaps best known as Padraig Harrington’s trusted putting advisor and biomechanics analyst over the past six years. He works with many other Tour golfers including Rory McIlroy, Oliver Wilson, Paul McGinley, Robert-Jan Derksen, Lee Westwood… and also carries his top level skills, knowledge and experience into the design of his own range of putters with GEL Golf.
Dr Hurrion uses the Quintic Ball Roll Software regularly in all his analysis work. Quintic Ball Roll v2.4 software is capable of analysing up to 200 frames per second, automatically recognising markers on the golf ball, and instantly producing fully digitised analysis of each putt. The software tracks the ball for the first 30cm of the putt length. It then instantly and clearly shows the ball speed, sidespin (cut or hook), angular rotation (degrees & RPM), vertical bounce, launch angle and point at which true roll occurs.
Crucially – and this is the most significant advance on Quintic’s already pioneering analysis tools – all of the above are reflected graphically and numerically in a summary sheet in a way that was formerly only available for full swing analysis software for irons and woods. The average, range and standard deviation of the putts is automatically updated after each putt and can be saved into a session folder. It is then possible to compare session results, for example, with different types of putter, before and after changes to the loft / lie / length of a putter and before or after a putting lesson.
“The software measures the performances of the golf ball, which at the end of the day, is what matters…”
Download Demo Version (www.quinticballroll.com)
Click on the link on the front page of the website (www.quinticballroll.com) to download a free 21 day trial of the program. The Demo has preloaded putts that highlight different key elements to look for. It allows you to view these putts so that you can see the fantastic range of information it provides.
Importantly you will begin to realise the unique benefits that a full understanding of the effect of a putting action on the ball brings to your own putting style, to accurate putter fitting, to the definitive choice of the correct putter to suit the golfer’s style.
Virtually every golfer whose putting is analysed with Quintic Ball Roll will find it fascinating and will not be able to ignore the visual evidence that assistance with putting lessons is necessary. Quintic Ball Roll will then also demonstrate the effect of those putting lessons and in the following months and years the sensible golfer will have regular putting check-ups to stay on line…
“I cannot thank you enough for all your help over the last few weeks; I am very excited to add Quintic’s Ball Roll Software to my Putting Academy at The Club at Cordillera! The data provided by your system adds much more credibility to the skid and roll videos that I show each client currently. This information offers each student- the true “Facts NOT Opinions” about their stroke. It is really nice to actually be able to quantify what is happening as we alter a putter’s lie, loft, and length over time.
Quintic is on the verge of something great with this simple analysis tool- every serious teacher should have this software on their computer!”

“I sold more putters in the first month I used the Quintic Ball Roll software than I did the entire previous year. It is so fast and easy to use, and gives you the results needed instantly, it completely verifies which putter is right for each customer. Thank you for putting life back into my putter sales”

March 26th, 2010 | Athletics, Quintic Video Software
“We primarily use Quintic as a video analysis tool that allows us to implement in-session and post-session analysis, while also providing comparative analyse of techniques and movements over a period of time. Quintic enables us to compare videos and technique from today’s training session against past (and future) training sessions and competitions.
If with one of our athletes we are looking at the angles of shoulder to elbow to hand, Quintic allows us to draw this angle straight onto the video and provide the athlete with ongoing visual feedback. One of the most important ways I utilise Quintic is my post session coaching analysis, with functions like the export analysis tool and the stage by stage multi-photo sequence.
Export analysis allows me to add angle drawings, foot contact timings, coaching points and other notational analysis to the video; I can then email this video along with the free Quintic Player to any of my athletes. The extra functionality of the Quintic Player allows my athletes to watch the video and see all of my coaching points as they play the video through, scroll back and forth, use frame advance and other functions. Retaining a video copy of important training/competition notes and advice allows them access at any time.
I like the stage by stage photo sequence which breaks down the technique into a series of still images with coaching points, shapes and angles overlaid on top such as angle of dorsiflexion, angle of pole at take off, various angles throughout the jump, and lines to highlight body alignment /position. I can drop the stage by stage sequence into Word or Excel, save it as a digital image or easily send it by email /CD to the athlete as further coaching advice or for discussion…
Quintic allows me to provide advice and feedback to the athlete in this fantastic way – the athlete can access it away from the training session – in this way we keep building a pattern of analysis as we move forward throughout our training season.

English Archery ‘hit Gold’ with Quintic software in Delhi
March 19th, 2010 | English Archery, Quintic Video SoftwareQuintic Testimonial : Paul Atkins of English Archery
“Quintic was chosen after comparison with other similar products. The demo was well presented covering all areas. Time had been taken to obtain clips of Archers so the presentation was personalised to us and our requirements. No pressure to buy was put on us at any time, being a British company also had its attractions. The licensing, registering and setting up of the programme for our athletes was very straight forward allowing them to be up and using it in a short space of their precious time. Within 2 hours the archers were using the system with confidence and exploring different areas that it could be applied to.
Over the 09/10 Winter training camps Quintic have attended with their pressure plate and in conjunction with the Casio high speed cameras we have been able to rectify faults and improve our teams performance. Their attitude has always been helpful and friendly regularly working longer hours to ensure all our needs had been met before departing. Backup has been excellent, always someone at the end of the phone to answer any queries we have had. Overall we have found a British company supplying a product that best suited our requirements.
The Quintic programme is very user friendly allowing the archer / analyst to be up and running with its operation in a short space of time. Our Archers have improved their scores with the aid of Quintic. We have just returned from our Test Event in India in preparation for the Commonwealth Games in October with a pleasing haul of medals, including Gold’s, from Archers who have been benefiting directly from the Quintic Analysis Software for only a few months.”
Andy Rikuenko of English Archery, is currently ranked 4th in the Gentlemen’s Compound GNAS Target Archery rankings for 2009.
Quintic Biomechanics v17 is used to calculate velocity of the arrow along with the technique of the individuals. This is vital to the performance analysis of archery. By knowing these values overall technique can be improved in order to achieve the optimum velocity for the task e.g. in archery hitting the target. By calculating the different types of velocities separately a comprehendible breakdown of the effect of external factors affecting performance can be achieved. As well as this problem areas can be established and in turn rectified. This is fundamental as usually it’s the small mistakes that usually go unnoticed which are responsible for an overall poor technique.
The Quintic® software provides a visual aid for calculating velocity and other kinematic values. It is a useful tool in both coaching and teaching fields as it presents data in an uncomplicated and understandable format thus making it easier for athletes/students to appreciate the velocity mechanism, and how it applies to them in their own field of sport.
All the best for the upcoming Commonwealth Games in Delhi from all at Quintic…

PGA Merchandise Show 2010
February 5th, 2010 | Golf Biomechanics, ProStance, Putting BiomechanicsQuintic has just returned this week from the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando where we were exhibiting the ProStance training aid. The show as always was massive with everything that’s coming in golf during 2010 on display. The inflatable balance aid, the must-have tool for any golfer wanting to improve their game, was on show for the second time at the Orange County Convention Center. Quintic have been integral to the research and development behind the product.
With over 250 Tour professionals already trusting this unique product, including three-time major winner Padraig Harrington, Oliver Wilson, Rory McIlory, Paul McGinley, Henrick Stenson, Bradley Dredge, Philip Archer, Richard Finch, Anna Nordqvist, Becky Brewerton… (the list goes on and on). The simple balance aid is steadily confirming it’s position as one of the most-advanced, game improvement tools on the market today.
The show this year had a very positive feel about it, much more so than last year and there was a very strong feeling amongst the golf industry that 2010 is going to be a great season.
Anna Nordqvist and ProStance Director – Stewart Craig
With results at the elite end of the game that include improving driving distance, more consistancy, greater accuracy and the potential to reduce putts by up to three strokes, ProStance ensures weight is concentrated through the centre of gravity of the golfer’s body. The result: improved balance leading to powerful more consistent ball striking and smoother more consistent putting strokes.
Beatriz Recari shows off the ProStance tour bag she will carry on the
LPGA Tour this season, with caddie Andreas Thorp.
The PGA 2010 show was very successful for ProStance with plans to expand its distribution and sales both on-line and in the USA and more countries worldwide, including Japan, Korea, Ireland & South America. The biomechanical research and teaching ethos behind ProStance is set to branch out into teaching academies and high-tech laboratories, starting with Academies in the USA & Europe later this year.

Example for QuinticNetball : Chapter 1 – Warm Ups
In Chapter 1, we shall be looking at Warm Ups. I’ve sectioned these into
• Static warm ups with a ball
• Active warm ups without a ball
• Active warm ups with a ball AND
• Relays with a ball
Static Warms ups with a ball – Practice 1 : The Clock
The set Up : In pairs standing 2m a par, Player A is the feeder and Player b the worker .
The Practice : The feeder passes the ball to Player B who holds both hands up at the 12 o’clock position. Player B snatches the ball into the chest and feeds the pass back to the feeder. The practice continues with Player B changing the position of her arms from 1pm round an imaginary clock. The feeder is to concentrate on feeding an accurate pass to Player B’s hands so Player B does not have to move her arms to cleanly catch the ball.
Teaching Points :
The feeder needs to:-
• Step into the pass, transferring their weight from the back to the front foot
• Using a chest pass, position their hands in a W shape behind the ball
• Push through the ball following through to where the ball is to go
The worker needs to
• Stand with feet hip distance apart with soft knees which will ensure they are well balanced throughout the practice
• Fingers are soft and outstretched with the palms of the hands facing the feeder
• Worker is reach for the ball at full extension and snatch the ball into the chest
Common errors to look out for in this practice are:-
• The feeder over stretching the worker putting pressure on pass
• The feeder not stepping into the pass therefore not practicing the correct technique for a chest pass
• The worker waiting for the ball to come to them rather than reaching for the ball and snatching it in
Quintic Ball Roll v1.8 is launched!
October 29th, 2009 | Quintic Ball RollQuintic Ball Roll v1.8 “The Launch Mointor for Putting” is now available to purchase… The latest version of Quintic Ball Roll software contains a number of new feature along with increased tracking capabilities and accuracy. The software tracks the ball for the first 12″ of the putt length. It then instantly and clearly shows the ball speed, sidespin (cut or hook), angular rotation (degrees & RPM), vertical bounce, launch angle and point at which true roll occurs. Crucially – and this is the most significant advance on Quintic’s already pioneering analysis tools – all of the above are reflected graphically, numerically and in a summary sheet in a way that was formerly only available for full swing analysis software for irons and woods.
Quintic Ball Roll v1.8
The edit function enables you to ensure you always have a 100% reading, the feature enables you to go back over a putt and tell the software where a dot is manually, this is if it didn’t track it properly in LIVE mode… The additional ability to create a summary of the putting session is a significant upgrade enabling the user to compare and analyze up to 20 putts. The average, range and standard devaition of the putts is automatically updated after each putt and can be save into a session folder. It is then possible to compare session results, for example, compare two different styles of putter, before or after a lesson, increase or decrease the loft of the putter… The software measures the performances of the golf ball, which at the end of the day, if what matters.
