TECHNOLOGY
G
olf clubs, golf balls
and GPS-outfitted
rangefinders are
merely three of the areas
where technology has
helped to revolutionize the
game. All have long been
available for golfers to pur-
chase and take home.
That hasn't always been
the case with another techno-
logical marvel – the launch
monitor. The first ones, which
began appearing in the 1990s,
were high-tech wonders able to
measure every detail of what
occurs when a golf club strikes
the ball. They were also very so-
phisticated machines that cost a
great deal of money, and few
non-professional golfers could
afford to have one of their own.
But SkyTrak is helping to
change that.
Since October 2014, the com-
pany has offered commercial
launch monitors that have "ac-
cess to the same launch monitor
technology found in other high-
end systems, but at a fraction of
the cost," said Andy Allen, Sky-
Trak's Managing Director of
Golf.
Similar to the kind of launch
monitors you'll find at an
equipment manufacturer's club
fitting headquarters, SkyTrak
provides feedback and accu-
rately displays the ball flight
and distances golfers would get
on the practice range or golf
course.
"It's easy to use, and the soft-
ware is intuitive and provides
the opportunity for any golfer
to identify strengths and weak-
nesses in their game as well as
tools to continue to improve
through 'fun' practice," Allen
said.
The SkyTrak
personal launch
monitor provides
golfers with
invaluable
feedback and
insight into
their game at an
aordable price
