Frequently asked questions

What is a launch monitor?

A launch monitor is a device that measures the physics of your golf swing and ball flight, including club head speed, ball speed, launch angle, spin rate, and carry distance. It gives you accurate, objective data about your game instead of estimates.

Do I need a launch monitor to improve?

No, but having one makes your practice more efficient. Without data, you are guessing whether a swing change is working. With a launch monitor, you can see exactly what changed and whether it moved in the right direction.

How does Launch Point Golf review equipment?

James Whitfield synthesizes published data from independent testing labs (MyGolfSpy robot testing, Golf Digest equipment labs), verified club fitter and instructor assessments, and long-term ownership reports. He does not run his own launch monitor sessions. Every performance claim is attributed to a named source with a date.
