Launch monitors revolutionary tracking allows you to track many statistics such as launch angle and spin rates so you know exactly what you have to do to achieve golfing excellence. Launch monitors offer players unparalleled insight into your ball flight and club path. These devices are remarkable for swing analysis, capturing critical data points that allow you to predict the trajectory of your ball and see what you can change to improve your next swing.
Launch monitor data point Definitions.
Ball Speed
The velocity of the golf ball after impact. Measured in MPH.
PGA Tour driver average: 168mph
Launch Angle
Angle of ascent of the ball from the ground
Back Spin Rate
Rate of the balls rotation backwards after impact. Measured in RPMs
Side Spin Rate
Rate at which the ball is spinning horizontally after impact. Measured in RPMs
Carry Distance
Distance traveled through the air. One of the most important metrics with each of your clubs
Apex Height
Maximum height the ball reaches during flight
Spin Axis
Axis of the balls rotation. This is calculated from the backspin and side spin
Flight Time
Amount of time the ball is in the air for. Also referred to as hangtime
