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!”

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.

Putting to the Nth Degree – Ball Roll
February 12th, 2009 | Quintic Ball Roll, Quintic Video SoftwareOut of one of the foremost biomechanics software laboratories comes a world first. The New Quintic Ball Roll System gives putting coaches and putter custom-fit professionals the kind of analysis tool they’ve never had before. What it means is that golfers need never be uncertain of the performance of their putters again.
The 2009 Quintic Ball Roll software tracks the ball for the first 12″ of the putt. It then instantly and clearly shows the ball speed, sidespin, angular rotation, vertical bounce, launch angle and point at which true roll occurs. Crucially as well – 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 way that was formerly only available for full swing analysis software for irons and woods.
Putter manufacturers can use this tool to test their equipment, design better putters, and as a sales tool to show the golf professionals how to increase putter sales over the counter. The over-the-counter part is key. Pros who make a living out of retail and coaching have been victims of “web-watch-time-wasters” for too long. This is the practice whereby customers waste a pro’s time by trying out equipment in the shop and then sourcing the cheapest price on the internet.
Golf professionals will be able to more accurately fit their customers for a putter, give better coaching and sell more putters as part of a demonstrable package. Golfers themselves can all benefit from using the system because they will be getting facts to back up their decision on which putter is performing best and see if any alterations need to be made to fine-tune the putter to their stroke.
Shifting the Putter Paradigm
The brains behind the new software is Dr Paul Hurrion – Quintic MD and biomechanics adviser to top European Tour Pros and bodies like the Titleist Performance Institute (TPI).
“Putting accounts for over 40% of a golfer’s strokes and yet, most players buy a putter by taking a few off the rack and trying them in the shop or on a practice green – often after a bad round,” reasons Hurrion. “Up until now, you could get a vague idea that your ball was skidding and then rolling forward, but there was no actual way to quantify it alongside hook or cut side spin analysis.
“Attaining proper lie and loft will help the ball roll better but there are other factors involved. The ultimate goal is to get the ball to roll as soon as possible with as little side spin as possible. This easy tool shows you exactly what effect the putter is having on the ball. You need to understand what is happening to the golf ball in order to teach putting!”
Another important point is that the software calculates the point at which true roll occurs. Side spin (hook or cut) will have a negative effect on how soon the ball achieves true roll. It’s now possible to know, through this new Quintic Ball Roll Software, that a ball could have more forward rotation at 18″ but not achieve true roll as quickly as a ball that had less rotation at 18″, due to greater sidespin imparted by the putter.
“We introduced the software at the PGA show in Orlando in January 09,” beams Hurrion. “In less than 5 minutes we were able accurately to fit a golfer to the most suitable putter for him – not just from a lie and loft perspective but also as to blade vs mallet, centre shaft vs heel shaft, and face balanced vs toe heavy. Golfers were both amazed and impressed by how simple and easy it was – suddenly they had tangible results that they could see for themselves. Golf Professionals just couldn’t wait for the launch of this Software to enhance their putter fitting and putting coaching capabilities and convert more enquiries.”
The Quintic 2009 Ball Roll Software is available from www.quinticballroll.com. A single licence costs just $1250 and discounts apply for 5 or more licenses or if purchased with other Quintic Video Analysis products. For more information please email: info@quinticballroll.com.
