See why the ball flew the way it did. Up to 775 high speed optical sensors are used to capture all elements of the club face at impact with the ball and the ball's true launch angles and speed like no other system on the market. In contrast to other (also very high priced) golf simulators on the market that are more designed to entertain than anything else, the GGS fully modular system focuses strongly on feedback information that will truly help the player to improve his game.
This data is shown graphically in pop-up windows after every shot and include:
- Club head speed at impact to the ball.
- Club face angle at impact (number of degrees open or closed) in relation to path angle.
- Club head angle of approach (hitting the ball on the down or up-stroke).
- Club head path in degrees (ie. from out to in, in - out etc).
- Club head height above ground at impact.
- Tee height
- Ball position on club-face at impact in both x and y directions (vertical and horizontal distance from sweet spot on club-face is captured ).
- Effective club-face loft at impact. ie. a 7 iron normally has 40 ° of loft, but when the club is held at anything other than 90° to the ball, the effective angle at impact will be changed. Also, the club-face angle and hitting the ball on the upward or downward stroke will effect the loft angle and thus the flight of the ball.
- Ball spin rates and directions are calculated from the captured club data at impact. Side (or horizontal) spin as well as top (or vertical) spin rates are calculated and summed to give a final spin rate and spin direction. The side spin causes the ball to curve left or right depending on the direction of spin and the positive top spin will give extra lift and distance. Negative top spin (caused by topping the ball) will, on the other hand, cause the ball to dive.
- Ball launch path angle.
- Ball launch vertical angle.
- Ball launch velocity.
- New: Swing Tempo and Smash Factors are now also being recorded in the swing analysis tables.
*Analytics are dependent on which sensors are used.
The GGS system allows you to see and adjust the ball carry for every club type and for every ball velocity.
Because the GGS sensor mat can also detect the club attack angle to the ball, you can see to what extent hitting on the up- or down-stroke will affect the ball's vertical launch angle.
The image below shows that the club head - a 3 wood with 16 degrees of loft - struck the ball on the up-stroke at 7 degrees causing the normal ball launch angle to increase to 23 degrees.
Striking the ball on the down-stroke on the other hand - here 6 degrees - causes the ball's vertical launch angle to decrease.
Trajectory Parameters
The main club/swing parameter control panel allows you to setup all the main swing and environmental elements that will influence the ball flight trajectory. It can also be used to analyze to what extent these parameters will effect the trajectory by showing the top and side views of the trajectory immediately every time you change a setting.
All flight trajectory calculation parameters are user adjustable. Here the ball/club-face spring rate and the magnus lift effect on the ball can adjusted.
Once you have made an adjustment, you can see how it effects the ball flight trajectory by pressing the Trajectory button. Multiple trajectory trace side views can be shown along with a birds eye view of the trajectory on the course.
Club Swing Analysis Table
The GGS club swing analysis functions record all swings and ball trajectory flight data. Of particular interest to club fitters, the data can be viewed in table form allowing you to compare performance characteristics and averages of swings and clubs. Data can be stored and retrieved in any one of 24 tables. Mouse right-clicking on the shot entry opens the trajectory analysis window and replays the shot.
Each table can be retrieved with a table combo box and assigned a user definable name. Entries are made into the current table after every shot whereby individual entries can be deleted.
Swing Statistics Window (ProX)
The Swing Shot ball flight Statistics window shows your average shot trajectories for a particular club-type and period. All shots a player makes on the simulator are recorded and stored in the database. This feature allows you to track your shot progress over periods and focus in on swing improvements.
