Technology
The typical launch monitor uses radar technology that sets up behind the golfer and the ball and then relies on algorithms to guess what happened after you hit the ball. The Bushnell Launch Pro launch monitor uses a high-speed, high-resolution infrared camera system. This three-camera system is auto-calibrating to literally see impact like never before so you get Tour-level accuracy and performance, allowing you to trust your swing when you’re out on the golf course.
The Launch Pro captures and measures thousands of frames per second with its three-camera setup to provide the most reliable and accurate launch condition and ball flight. Foresight has been a trusted name by professionals and combining their data-driven software with the accuracy of Bushnell optics, you can readings you can trust.
Bushnell’s Launch Pro monitor measures what matters most in both ball and club data. You can make the most out of every practice session and take that information with you to perform on the golf course. Ball launch data is measured by capturing images of the ball to model its flight in real time, comparing it to the next captured image to determine exactly what the ball is doing after impact. Ball data points collected include:
- Carry distance
- Ball speed
- Total spin
- Vertical launch angle
- Horizontal launch angle
- Spin tilt axis
- Back spin
- Side spin
This launch monitor doesn’t just look at the ball. Place one of the included markers on the face of the golf club and you’ll get accurate, consistent club data right at home as well. Club data points collected include:
- Club head speed
- Smash factor
- Club path
- Angle of attack
Launch Pro also gives you true-to-life simulation and lets you enjoy the best of both worlds by allowing you to play on the world’s best courses and dialing in your game on the range. It precisely captures and analyzes ball and club performance where they matter most to give you unmatched ball flight data in any space you can safely swing a club. Whether you want a basic setup in your garage or a custom indoor simulator room, Launch Pro is the answer.
