Target Market
The FlightScope Xtreme was aimed at professional golf test organizations and the R&D divisions of equipment manufacturers.
Uses and Benefits
The FlightScope Xtreme is a scientific measurement instrument for the measurement of the flight of a golf ball. The trajectory and dynamic flight parameters are measured for the full flight path.
Availability
Original launch date: Q1 2005
Functionality
The FlightScope Xtreme tracked the golf ball’s flight over its full trajectory to a very high level of accuracy (within 1 yard). Measurements included:
- Ball launch data (speed, angles, smash factor, and measured spin)
- Club swing data (speed, acceleration, angles)
- Real time tracked ball trajectory, and trajectory data such as carry distance, lateral distance, roll distance, and shot shape
- Aerodynamic ball flight data (dynamic drag and lift coefficients as a function of Reynolds number, for characterization of different ball types)
Configuration
The FlightScope Xtreme comprised of a specialized tracking sensor, larger in size than the commercial Pro II, Pro and Tour sensors. This unit was intended for use indoor use only. System software was compatible to run on any Windows type PC. The software allowed the user to display, analyse, store and report on all test data.
