What is a launch monitor?

Not all launch monitors are the same!

There are several different launch monitors on the market today. Most experts agree the most accurate monitors are the ones that take pictures of the ball as it is leaving the tee. The Vector made by Accusport is perhaps the most accurate of launch monitors.

The Vector launch monitor provides readings on each shot that include the following:

Ball Speed, Vertical (launch angle), Total Spin, Back Spin, Side Spin, Side Angle (push or pull), Downrange (carry yardage), Offline (distance from center line of fairway), Flight time (time in the air), Roll, Maximum Height.

This great, new tool makes our fittings even better by determining which loft, shaft flex and bendpoint will produce the most distance off the tee.

The launch monitor can also be used to determine what ball might best suit the individual. Although there is little difference between balls today, some can create a higher or lower launch, or more or less back spin that can have a positive or negative effect on the shot.
