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?
