BALL REQUIREMENT
Marked balls required indoors (foil dots). Unmarked outdoors. No RCT/RPT.
3RD-PARTY SIM

Key Tradeoffs
3D Doppler radar that tracks full ball flight tee-to-landing (measured, not extrapolated). Reviewers (Plugged In Golf, Independent Golf Reviews) rated outdoor data as on par with or exceeding most launch monitors of its era. Indoors, accuracy depends on (a) applying a metallic foil dot/metal…

Technology
3D Doppler tracking radar (single phased-array Doppler radar unit). Tracks the full 3D flight of the ball from tee to final resting place rather than extrapolating from launch — FlightScope markets it as tracking the ball "the entire way," not guessing (verified via Independent…
Ball Data
~27 data parameters total (figure confirmed by the April 2015 launch announcement and Independent Golf Reviews) — full ball + club data set. Notable metrics: ball speed, spin rate, spin axis, vertical/horizontal launch angle, smash factor, carry/roll/total distance, apex height,
Club Data
measured — full club suite: club speed, club path, face to target, face to path, angle of attack, dynamic loft, spin loft, low point, vertical & horizontal swing plane, vertical descent angle, and…
