New Optishot Ballflight

[DJ VYBIN]

Noticed that Optishot has a sleek new Ballfight launch monitor on their website. Don't know how mobile it is if you need a laptop or PC connection. Any thoughts?

Nice find. It seems strange that we haven't heard this discussed/reviewed in detail? Have to do some hunting. Thanx

Oops, guess this was discussed before my time ! New Optishot Ball Flight Series with Photo coming soon??? - Golf Simulator Forum

That post was for the old ballfight. There are some youtube videos of that older model, but nothing for the new model.

I just got an email from Optishot announcing "New ballflight monitor" for $3999:
Seems to be a portable 2x camera based indoor & outdoor unit. Hope this will push Uneekor Mini and the Skytrak 2.

I only see measured:
- Club Speed
- Smash Factor
- Ball Speed
- Launch Direction
- Launch Angle
- Spin Rate**

*Not clear to me if spin axis is measured. One of the screenshots seems to indicate it could be at least, and I'd expect it from a camera system in this price range.

Yes the backspin/side spin label gives two numbers in the example readings. Second negative number in example screenshot is the side spin. Skytrak shows these in two different sections on the theirs. Correct ball shape should be able to be calculated from these just like skytrak and other photo based units.

Looks like Opti kept this under their hat and jumped in before uneekers eye mini lunched theirs (was due end of last year). I have been holding of with buying a skytrak (now old tech and subscriptions a pain) until the eye mini came out. I am in UK so interested in what the ballflight will cost here.

This seems to now be lunched but very little on it in youtube or lack of interest ($3,999.00 and include simulator with 20 courses). Infra red camera also like the Eye Mini. Given Skytrak now near 3k and then you have to subscribe to them and then subscribe for golf a simulator this seems good option for people with that kind of money available to spend. Has anyone bought one and used, compared to others etc.

I would be careful regarding its accuracy and consistency. You need to ask the question “why is it a new ball flight”? What happened to the original Ballflight?

[jpotas]

Agreed. It is kind of strange, I think the original Ball Flight from maybe 18 months ago or so was very boxy. This version looks sleek. It looks like a totally different product. I think it is odd that they did not name it something else.

Hope someone will do a review/comparison on the new one soon. Look very like eye mini.
