TaylorMade unites the golfer and fitter with advanced technology to create the ultimate club fitting experience.
Trusted by tour professionals around the world, what will a TaylorMade Performance Lab (TMPL) fitting do for your game?
TaylorMade Performance Labs use 3D motion capture technology to analyse your golf swing in measurements down to the tenth degree.
The result? Detailed data that matches the perfect set of clubs to the specific needs of your swing, equipping you to hit the ball longer, straighter, and with greater control.
During the fitting process, reflective markers are placed on strategic points on your body and on the shaft and head of the fitting club.
6 high-speed synchronized LED cameras capture the motion of the markers to instantaneously produce your 3D image or avatar. We can now view your motion from any angle. This provides valuable feedback to better understand your swing characteristics.
To fully analyse your swing, you’ll hit 6 shots with a 6 iron, driver, wedge and putter.
The TaylorMade Performance Lab then quantifies the data captured by the LED cameras to create a 3D animation of your swing. Your technical data is now displayed in a graphics format that explores your swing characteristics.
Our Certified TaylorMade Master Club Fitter performs an in-depth analysis of your swing profile to create the optimum club recommendation for your game.
Our Certified TaylorMade Master Club Fitters review your club recommendation. Your swing characteristics are compared to TaylorMade's database of over 500,000 swing profiles.
Using sophisticated algorithms, a recommendation is generated for the clubs best suited to your swing.
We then build the recommended clubs using the TaylorMade SelectFit Cart and ball flight data is then recorded on the Foresight Sports GC2 to validate the performance of the club set recommendation.
Your 90 min professional fitting experience costs $150 and takes place in a relaxed atmosphere focused solely on improving your performance. It includes a full analysis for drivers, fairway woods, hybrids, irons, wedges and putters.
This memorable event becomes even more rewarding when you enjoy the positive impact custom-fit TaylorMade equipment can have on your game.
It’s our complete 3D motion capture technology that separates the TaylorMade fitting experience and swing analysis from the rest.
What was once only available to our tour staff professionals can now be enjoyed by golfers of every age and ability.
The MAT-T system (Motion Analysis Technology by TaylorMade) gathers vital swing data using multiple high-speed cameras and custom software.
MAT-T distils your data to create a 3D computer-animated swing image that’s viewable from every angle. The result is a multitude of measurements and calculations used to create personalised recommendations for every club in the bag.
Driven by a stereoscopic camera the Foresight GC2 system precisely captures and analyses ball flight characteristics at the most critical point of measurement: club impact. Foresight GC2 delivers the most accurate ball performance values available today.
The TaylorMade Performance Lab is trusted by tour professionals around the world. Now available in Australia, it’s your turn to experience what our high level club fitting service can do for your game.
The MAT-T System is an incredible tool for anygolfer. To make a series of swings and see exactly what’s happening with the motion capture is so beneficial. I love knowing that when I leave a fitting session, my equipment is built perfectly for my game.
The TaylorMade Performance Lab in Melbourne is the only place in the Southern hemisphere where the average Joe can get a pro fitting…..Strapped in Velcro and with something akin to a chess set attached to me, I took swings at a special reflective ball in a dark room reminiscent of a bank vault. We watched my 3D scale avatar retake every swing, in all its glory, revealing the clubhead swing planes, backspin and loft, as well as my centre of gravity, wrist cocking angle and body lines, plus much more......It’s like Wii on steroids. The result? I’m hitting straight and 40 per cent further with a driver.
The TMPL uses 3-D motion capture technology and is the only one of its kind in Australia. Incredibly, the 3-D motion capture technology is from the same company that has used it to create those amazing images in The Matrix, Lord of the Rings, Titanic and a host of EA Sports games. Until now it has been the exclusive domain of TaylorMade’s “kingdom’ in California. Not anymore. Now it has been set up at Australia’s acknowledged home of golf, Melbourne, to give that golfmad city something only tour pros have been able to use in the past. It’s a game changer!
I can’t believe how much I’ve learned about my golf swing using the MAT-T System. The 3D image shows you swing speed, lie angle, ball speed — everything you’d want to know as a golfer. After a fitting, I know my equipment is perfect for me and that gives me the confidence to play well.
I’m a very technical player, and the MAT-T system tells me everything
I want to know about my golf swing. The immediate feedback with
motion capture is what seperates a TaylorMade fitting from all other
custom fitting experiences. I wouldn’t trust anything else.
I remember the first time I used the MAT-T system it completely
blew me away. The motion capture technology is amazing. It offers
total feedback on my golf swing and gives me the confidence in my
equipment that I need to compete on the PGA Tour.

With a desire to upgrade my decade-old clubs and the TaylorMade Performance Lab now operating at the Melbourne Golf Academy, it was a perfect marriage of opportunity and technology…When Lowe notes that the recommended driver is actually flying at the same height as the 6-iron shots I’d been hitting, he switched drivers, including loft and face setting, and hands me another. The result? By changing nothing other than the club and its set-up characteristics, I picked up 11 meters. Instantly. So complete and comprehensive is the fitting process, I can’t imagine anyone walking out of there without placing an order. Certainly my wallet was emptier, but my appetite for playing the game with my first custom-fit set of club was far healthier.
If you’re going to get a new set of sticks – regardless of your skill or ability – it is an absolute MUST that you fit your clubs to your game…..TaylorMade launched a new technology that may represent the future of consumer clubfitting… the technology behind this system is a real game –changer…..In my case, the system was spot on: When I tried the putter it recommended for my stroke, I sank 4 out of 5 putts...Yes the system is that good……If you are in Melbourne, and you’re looking for set of clubs, then you owe it to yourself to book a session at the TMPL. It will open your eyes to a new world of club fitting.
