The GGS System basically works by connecting a sensor (or multiple sensors) to a computer that has our analysis and simulation software installed. Once a shot is taken, the sensors transfer information to the computer and the software interprets the data. This data is then reproduced graphically on a driving range, course or analysis table. The views of this graphic representation can be either projected onto a large screen set in front of the player or just viewed on your computer monitor set to the side.
With the advances in technology, we can provide high tech sensors and software that will work on your home/business PC and be fast enough to show you your ball flight (with video flyovers) in real time. This immediate feedback combined with the latest 3D graphics makes you feel like you are playing right on the course!
Physics of Golf
In order to calculate and produce a realistic ball fight trajectory in the simulator, a large amount of time was invested in researching the physics of golf. Some of the key determining factors were:
Dimples on the ball and the Magnus effect
Ball Spin
Basic Parabolic Flight
Terminal Velocity
Wind Force
Collision Theory
Calculating Ball Launch Velocities
Calculating Spin Rates
Bounce
Rolling on Inclined Planes

The Technology
The GGS system focuses on using infrared sensors as well as high speed cameras. After thousands of hours of development, the technology has been perfected to meet the demands of tomorrow's market.
The GGS professional sensor mats detect club-head speed to within 0.0137 mph ( 0.00085 kmh) or 0.0069 m.p.h. (0.00425 kmh) with high-definition mat, club-face angle to within 0.001 degrees and club-head path to within 1.0 degrees (0.5 degrees with high-definition mat).
90 (optional 135) sensors are used in the mat itself to detect club-head speed, club-head path and club-face angle.
128 (optional 256) sensors are used to detect ball path and speed.
128 (optional 256) sensors are used to detect ball launch angle.
128 sensors are used to detect club-head height, club-head attack angle and tee height.
98 sensors are used in the special putting mat.
Components
The GGS system can be used at its most basic level with a sensor mat and software or can consist of all (or any combination) of the following:
