Stop Guessing
If you’re a passionate player, you probably have the best equipment. But another piece of equipment is just as critical as those new sticks. To truly unlock your potential, you need to understand the performance data behind each and every shot.
As renowned instructors like Butch Harmon says, if you want to see real game improvement, you have to know your numbers.
And the only way to truly know your numbers is with a launch monitor.
Learn from the Best
There are lots of golf launch monitors to choose from. But only the best launch monitors deliver the level of accurate, reliable and consistent data needed for real game improvement.
The easy way to know which is best? Look at what the best are using.
Watch any major Tour event, and you’ll see that the most used launch monitor tech on Tour is Foresight Sports. The reason why is simple - no other launch monitor delivers game-changing performance data with the precise and reliability of Foresight Sports.
Make Your Move
If game improvement is your goal, you don’t just want a launch monitor, you need a launch monitor. And here’s the good news - Foresight Sports’ professional-grade launch monitors are more accessible than ever before.
From our Tour-dominant GCQuad, to the all-new GC3 personal launch monitor, the game’s best launch monitor technology is now priced within your reach. Which means the right time to make your move and buy is now.
Precision, Not Guesswork
How We Measure
Foresight Sports launch monitors use a combination of infrared object tracking and high-speed, high-resolution camera-based technology to precisely measure every aspect of club head and ball launch performance. By capturing thousands of images per second, building a virtual 3D model, and then analyzing a multitude of data components, our technology is able to create the most accurate and complete picture of your ball and club head performance – and deliver the results in nearly real-time.
How We're Different
Unlike radar-based technologies that analyze ball and club head performance results from the worst possible position (behind the club head) and then largely calculate performance based on the geometric center of the club head, Foresight Sports launch monitors use exact photometric measurements taken with a clear, direct view of the impact window.
Our launch monitors measure – not calculate – club head data based on the club’s face plane, deriving vastly more precise results.

Ball launch data is measured by capturing images of the ball to model it in real time, and comparing it to the next captured image to determine exactly what the ball is doing post-impact.
Here are the key club and ball performance metrics our GC launch monitors measure.
Ball Launch Data
Ball Speed
The measurement of the golf ball’s velocity just after impact. Ball speed is the main component in generating distance.
Launch Angle
The initial vertical angle of ascent relative to the ground plane measured in degrees. The launch angle, combined with ball spin and speed, will determine the ball’s carry and total distance.
Azimuth
The initial horizontal angle relative to the target line. The azimuth, combined with side spin, will determine the final ball position range relative to the target line.
Total spin
The amount of total spin created around the tilt axis is expressed as total spin. This will determine the curve and lift of the shot.
Spin-Tilt Axis
One of the most important pieces of data measured by our launch monitors is the spin-tilt axis. The spin-tilt axis is the axis that the golf ball rotates around to create shot curvature and lift.
Club Data
Club Speed
The velocity at which the head travels, measured just prior to ball contact.
Impact Point
The measurement of the contact point of the golf ball on the club face relative to face center.
Angle of Attack
The descending or ascending path of the club head, measured in degrees.
Club Path
The swing path measured in a horizontal plane relative to the target line. This data point will tell you if the club was moving from inside-out, outside-in, or perfectly down the line.
Delivered Face Angle
The dynamic measurement of the club head’s face plane position square to the target line.
Delivered Lie Angle
The lie of the club is the way the club compares to the ground through the hitting area. This is a dynamic measurement, and it is relative to the ground plane. A negative number means the club is “toe down” at impact, while a positive number means the club is “toe up.”
Impact Loft
The dynamic measurement in degrees of the club head’s face plane position vertically relative to the ground plane.
Closure Rate
The rotation of the club head heel to toe measured about the shaft in degrees per second or rpm.
