No. FlightScope measures any golf ball you use, even non-standard balls. It measures the actual flight of each individual ball, making no assumptions about the type or quality of the ball.
FlightScope can be used outdoors (e.g. at a driving range, golf course, or other suitable venue) as well as indoors (indoor driving range, hitting cage, etc.). It is as simple as just changing a setting based on your setup.
Although the FlightScope sensor will not be affected in light rain, for safety reasons it’s recommended to power down and take it indoors when rain starts.
FlightScope is a revolutionary measurement system developed for Golf and other sports. It provides ACTUAL measurement of balls and clubs accurately and for the first time provides quantitative data on player and equipment performance.
FlightScope is very safe. It emits an extremely low level of power, far less than a mobile phone, walkie talkie, or microwave oven. Its levels of radiation is much lower that the most stringent safety levels specified by any regulatory body or government around the world. It carries FCC, Industry Canada and EC certification.
