The Technology Behind FlightScope Golf Ball Trackers
Patended Fusion Tracking
Fusion Tracking = Tracking Radar + Image Processing. FlightScope's Patented Fusion Tracking is an innovative combination of 3D Doppler tracking and image processing. Technological advances in the field of image processing made it possible to improve the already accurate 3D tracking radar data for both club and ball measurements.
3D Doppler Tracking Golf Radar
Directions angles are sensed
1a. Oscillator Generates microwave signal
1b. Antenna Radiates signal
2. Moving Object Interferes with signal, reflects some energy, Movement/Doppler Shift
3. Phased Array Antenna Detects reflected signal, Compares phase detection
With technology improving the world of sports in leaps and bounds, more accurate sports measurement systems have resulted in improvements not only for players, but for spectators too. The two main technological aspects of the FlightScope 3D motion tracking device are its radar technology (very similar to that which is used in the military), and its advanced industrial electronics. The patented phased array tracking technology that is used in all FlightScope radar units is the most advanced in the industry today. How does the 3D Doppler Tracking Radar work?
FlightScope’s 3D motion tracking devices are not just about ball measurement; they can also help with your golf swing analysis by measuring 27 variables related to your Ball, Club or Swing, such as:
Ball Data
Ball Speed
Vertical Launch Angle
Horizontal Launch Angle
Vertical Decent Angle
Smash Factor
Spin Rate
Spin Axis
Carry Distance
Roll
Total Distance
Lateral Landing
Apex Height
Flight Time
Shot Dispersion
Distance to Pin
Skills Score
CLUB DATA
Club Speed
Club Speed Profile
Club Acceleration Profile
Face Angle
Face to Path
Dynamic Loft
Angle of Attack
Club Path
Vertical Swing Plane
Horizontal Swing Plane
Spin Loft
The ball’s entire trajectory after it has been launched is also tracked, which means you have exceptionally comprehensive ball measurement information instantly available, helping you to improve your golf swing.
