The Bushnell Launch Pro is a personal launch monitor designed to provide Tour-level accuracy and true-to-life simulation for golfers. It leverages advanced photometric technology to deliver precise data points for both ball and club, making it suitable for use on the range and in home simulators. The device integrates with the FSX performance and gaming suite, offering access to numerous world-class courses, skill-building games, and global leagues and competitions.
Function Description:
The Launch Pro measures and displays critical data points of a golf swing, including ball speed, launch angle, push/pull, spin, and carry. When equipped with club markers, it also tracks club speed, path in/path out, angle of attack, and efficiency (Smash Factor). The device features a touch display for easy navigation and interaction, an LED indicator light for status updates, and three high-speed cameras for data capture. It can connect to the internet via Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or USB-C, allowing for registration, subscription management, and data synchronization. The Launch Pro operates as a standalone device but offers enhanced functionality when connected to supporting apps and software.

- Subscriptions: The device supports subscriptions to enhance its value, which can be managed by scanning a QR code on the "ADD A SUBSCRIPTION" screen.
- Ball Placement & Hitting: For accurate readings, the Launch Pro should be placed upright approximately 2 feet from the hitting area, at the same level as the hitting surface if using a mat. The display indicates "MOVE BALL INTO HITTING ZONE" or "MULTIPLE BALLS DETECTED" if the ball is not correctly positioned. Once ready, the blue LED indicator light changes from blinking to solid.

- Club Tracking: To enable club tracking, apply a club marker to the clubface. The device then displays club speed, path in/path out, angle of attack, and efficiency. Club tracking mode can be activated via the SETTINGS menu.
- Target Alignment: The FSS Alignment Stick can be used to adjust target alignment up to 10 degrees. Place the stick in the hitting zone, align to the target, and step away for calibration. The new alignment angle is shown on the display, and the LED indicator light turns solid orange. Alignment can be viewed and reset in settings and is automatically reset when the unit is powered off.
