Launch & Spin Makes a Difference

To maximize your ability to play your best requires that you know how your golf ball spins and what the launch angle is. Without either being correct, you risk losing valuable yardage and ball control.

Optimize Launch Angle and Backspin

The ideal launch angle varies according to ball speed and involves some degree of player preference and adaptation to local conditions. Our fitters are equipped with charts and graphs developed by the Titleist Golf Ball Research & Development that accurately determine optimal ball flight at many different ball speeds.

Launch Angle

The angle at which the golf ball leaves the club face in relation to the ground at impact. Launch angle can be visually identified during the first half of ball flight.

Club loft, shaft properties, and club impact location have a great effect upon launch conditions and the fitter will adjust these variables to maximize performance.

Accuracy

The Zelocity PureLaunch (TM) has been tested at Golf Labs in San Diego, Metro Services, an independent testing facility, and is the only launch monitor certified by the Professional Club Maker’s Society (PCS).

At Metro Services, the PureLaunch was tested using a 60,000 frame per second camera system in a controlled environment where the ball was tracked for fifty yards.  The results of the testing from all sources substantiate that the Zelocity Club Speed and Ball Speed metrics are within 2/10th of a degree, Total Spin within 125 rpm and Carry Distance within 2% of actual.  Zelocity PureLaunch (TM) uses the latest Doppler radar technology to capture club and ball metrics through two receivers.  This captures 100,000 readings per second, per transceiver, of the golf ball traveling down the fairway.
