  • Flightscope Optimizer ball flight algorithm now fixed!

    Until last year, they had an algorithm flaw where they would exaggerate carry distance by at least 10+yds when the ball spin was less than 2200rpm (very similar with Foresight's GC2/GCQ).
    Now they seemed to acknowledge it and fixed it! Please see the attached before/after that I tested with TXG's shots as well as mine.
    I'm surprised they didn't announce anything and did this on the backend...

    Now their algorithm closely aligns with Trackman outdoor and various other mathematical ball flight algorithm available out there.

    Next up is Foresight....

    Funnily enough, I was just today checking some 1500 rpm driver shots. I was using Optimal Flight and Tracjectoware and for some reason tried Flightscopes Optimizer expecting it to be crazy generous like the GC2 but it was actually fairly close to the others.

    Now the GC2 is the odd man out...although I do like looking down and seeing that inflated distance on the LCD screen. LOL

      What's the status with Foresight? IIRC you were working with them on draw bias and ball flight algorithm (especially low spin driver shots)

        In a limbo... no response from them.

          I see. Hopefully they will deliver something.
          Thank you for doing this.
      Working...
