New Optishot Ball Flight Series with Photo coming soon???
Also interested to know if anyone has purchased or planning on purchasing the Optishot Ballflight. How does it compare to other launch monitors (especially Skytrak)?
$6000 seems like a steep price.
Yeah that is what I suspected...not sure what Optishot is trying to do with this. They have a market for inexpensive golf simulators and then put out a product that is $6000. I don't get it.
LOL so, they have some videos online on how this thing works and it seems pretty clear that it doesn't measure spin axis... What on earth is the point of a modern launch monitor AT THE 6K price point that won't tell you how much the ball is curving in the air due to spin????
Skytrak gives you spin axis and its 1/3rd of the price... The guys at optishot really dropped the ball on this one... Hopefully they can fix that with some sort of software patch, but damn I feel bad for anyone that dropped 6k on this thing.
That is funny...i have not heard from anyone who has purchased it. Anyone?? Anyone??
Where did you find the videos Jackedup?? I searched youtube for a review or video and couldn't find a thing. They also have some sort of putting simulator for $700. I cant find a video of it in use either. Not sure what they are doing as a company.
Also, if you look at the product description on their site and what is measured. They measure HLA, VLA, Ballspeed, Backspin, but no mention of spin axis. Seems like a BIG thing to just leave off the description.
I have taken lesson using optishot ball flight, it does have club data. Showes the club come through, can see if it is open or closed along with ball leaving club. Don’t know if this data is measured or calculated. The person giving the lesson said club data was from radar on the unit. He said that optishot was working on other data like angle of attack shaft lean. I taken 1 lesson going to take more lessons, will learn more next time. The pro giving lesson said he did a lot of research on launch monitors pefore his purchase. I will post after next lesson on what I learn about the unit.
Optishot's official web page doesn't include club path, club face or spin axis. Those are the items separating toys from the big boys. It would be mind-boggling to have the capability and not advertise it.
I know no lest of spin axis doesn’t make any sense at all. The one I saw showed club swing through, like I said don’t know if it was measured or calculated. If you look at add it list what does it do, look on down in features is shows radar club data and camera technology. I’am like Faultyclubs don’t know what that means why don’t they talk about this more.
