Target Market

The FlightScope TBox was originally aimed to be a launch monitor and ball tracking system for indoor golf simulators.

The FlightScope TBox measured both the ball launch parameters and club parameters for indoor golf simulators. The sensor was exclusively supplied to AboutGolf Limited of Toledo, Ohio, USA.

Availability

Original launch date: Q1/2003

Functionality

The FlightScope TBox monitored the golf ball’s flight and club, including:

  • Ball launch data (speed, angles, measured spin, and smash factor)
  • Club data (speed, path)

Data outputs are rapid (near real time) to enable realism of the indoor golf simulation. In addition, putting measurements are also supported. This enabled the simulation of all possible golf shots down to short putts – a world first with a single tracking sensor.

The system integrated with the AboutGolf’s indoor golf simulator software.

Configuration

The TBox unit comprised of a stand-alone sensor integrated with third-party golf simulation software.
