(FAQ)
Q: What is FlightScope?
A: FlightScope is a low-power 3D Doppler tracking sensor for Golf and other
sports. It accurately measures the launch and flight of balls and clubs and
provides quantitative data about player and equipment performance.
Q: How does FlightScope work?
A: FlightScope creates a low level electromagnetic field through which the
golf ball and the golf club move. The movement creates a disturbance that is
detected and processed to extract position and speed. The measured launch
and flight data is displayed on a PC program in various views, and also
stored. Measurements include: ball and clubhead speeds, launch angles,
spin, carry distance, smash factor, and more.
Q. How is FlightScope different from other golf measurement
systems?
A: FlightScope is fundamentally different from most other launch monitors
because it measures ball speed, position and direction continuously along the
ball’s flight path using microwave Doppler technology.
FlightScope is not only a launch monitor, but also measures what the club
and ball are actually moving. It is therefore a more accurate and
comprehensive measuring instrument for golf than a camera or light beam
based system that take only single or at most a few launch data points and
estimate what the ball will do after launch.
FlightScope is not dependent on ambient lighting conditions (it can work in
complete darkness), it does not create blinding flashes of light.
Q: How accurate is it?
A: FlightScope represents the state of the art in measuring technology for
projectiles in flight. It is in a different class to launch-only monitors, and is
able to track speeds extremely accurately and determine ball positions to
within single yards.
Q: Where must I stand to use the system? Which direction must I
hit?
A: The sensor is typically placed approx 2.4-4.2 meters (8-14 feet) behind
the tee. The ball is hit away from the sensor along its pointing direction.
Q: Can FlightScope help me make the right club or ball selection to
play a particular shot?
A: FlightScope measures the performance (launch conditions and launch
results) of golf shots and provides data to a player or fitter to make
scientifically justified decisions about the right clubs and balls.
Q: Is the sensor portable? How must it be mounted?
