In fact, the various governing bodies within the sport have been under constant pressure to reign in the use of technology to help protect courses, clubs and golf scores.
One of the latest remarkable uses of technology in the golf business brings together 3D Doppler Radar to launch monitor technology. Recently FlightScope® introduced the world’s first-ever 3D Doppler Tracking Golf Radar, a state-of-the-art, portable indoor-outdoor 3D ball-flight and club tracking device. The product was named Best New Product at the PGA 2010 Fall Expo in Las Vegas and can measure any golf ball, every time without having to mark the ball with complex lines that smudge.
Unlike traditional launch monitors that are bound by cables, the FlightScope® Prime allows golfers, golf professionals, and club fitters to analyze golf swings anywhere. Completely portable, and easy to set up, the FlightScope® Prime utilizes a battery that can keep its charge for more than 5-hours.
My most effective sessions have been with serious golfers who want to dial in the distance they hit their wedges,” said Ryan Daily, the Assistant Director of the PGA Golf Management Program at Campbell University. “I have yet to have someone of FlightScope for the first time that can predict the carry yardage of their wedges within 5-yards. Most of the time our students are almost 10-yards off! They think they hit their pitching wedge 120-yards when they really hit it 112. It’s amazing how, after just 2 or 3 sessions, a player can hit a ball within 2-to-3 yards of his target. Immediate, precise, and accurate feedback leads to quick results.”
