On the other hand, structures which offer a complete and suitable range of golf equipment are rarer. To remedy this, Carré Golf, a franchise dedicated to the world of this sport, has just opened its store in Orvault near Nantes.

Technology at the service of golfers

Coming from the aeronautical sector, this device is a radar equipped with sensors, which records the player's movements and determines the trajectory of the ball. It allows to analyze precisely and instantly the gestures of the golfer, his morphology and the speed of the ball, that of the head of the club at the moment of impact, the altitude of the ball,… Installed inside the store , the Flightscope radar is also able to reproduce the climatic conditions of the playing field and transmit a large number of statistics to the advisers, who can thus build a bespoke club with a suitable head and shaft.
