Your pursuit of longer drives, more accurate carries and lower
scores requires knowing the critical data points of your swing. A
personal launch monitor will give you these data points, however,
not all launch monitors are created equal. With Launch Pro,
you get the combination of Tour-level accuracy and true-to-
life simulation to give you the most complete personal launch
monitor available.
Thanks to the advanced photometric technology inside, the
Launch Pro remains accurate and reliable both on the range and
in your home simulator. Combine it with the FSX performance
and gaming suite and enjoy hundreds of world-class courses,
skill-building games, and global leagues and competitions.
This user manual will help you better understand the proper
set-up, operation, and care of your Launch Pro.

BALL PALCEMENT & HITTING BALL PLACEMENT & HITTING
After hitting the ball, the Launch Pro records your speed, launch angle, push/pull, spin, and
carry. To access previous shot data, swipe down to access the QUICK SETTINGS screen, then
go to SETTINGS, then SHOT SAVER.
Ball Data Explained
Speed The measurement of velocity just after impact. Ball speed is the main
component in generating distance.
The initial vertical angle of ascent relative to the ground measured in degrees.
The launch angle, combined with ball spin and speed, determines the ball
carry and total distance.
In right-handed mode, Push is when the horizontal direction of the ball is
greater than or equal to zero. The ball moves “in to out”, away from the hitter.
Pull is the opposite; the ball moves “out to in”, towards the hitter.
The total distance of flight.
The degree of sideways (horizontal) spin. A component of total spin that
defines ball curvature or shot shape. The more sidespin, the greater the ball
curvature.
The backward rotation of the ball. A component of total spin that defines ball
lift and trajectory. The more backspin, the greater the ball height.

Applying a Club Marker
CLUB TRACKING
LEARN HOW TO APPLY A CLUB MARKER TO YOUR CLUB
Clean the clubface with an alcohol pad or water
1
Place club marker at the location (above) on the
clubface, adhesive side down
Your Launch Pro doesn’t only look at the ball, but the club too. To take advantage of this
feature, open the club marker packet (included) and follow the directions to apply the club
marker to your club.
Firmly apply pressure to the club marker with your finger
and gently pull the tab away, leaving only the club marker
on the clubface
After your next swing, your Launch Pro will now display club speed, path in and path out,
angle of attack, and efficiency.
Club Data Explained
Club Speed The speed the club is traveling just prior to impact. A higher speed means
greater potential distance.
The direction the club head is moving at impact. A “0” path is a straight shot.
A negative path means the ball moves “out to in” and a positive path means
the ball moves “in to out”.
The vertical angle of the club head at impact. A positive number is hitting up
on the ball and a negative number is hitting down on the ball.
Efficiency, also known as Smash Factor, is the ratio between club head and
golf ball velocities.
