EASUREMENT
FlightScope measures the spin of a ball accurately both outdoors as well
indoors where ball flight distance/time is limited.
CAUTION
Balls in poor condition or of poor quality (for
example damaged balls) should not be used
when measuring spin because the marks on
the ball may cause incorrect spin to be
reported.
Spin measurement methods
FlightScope directly measures the spin rate of the ball both indoors and
outdoors.
Marking and placing a ball for spin measurement
NOTE
This procedure is only required when
measuring spin indoors.
A ball flight distance of at least 14 ft. (4.2 meters) is necessary.
A metal foil disk or patch is used to assist FlightScope to detect the spin of
the ball reliably in a hitting cage where the flight time is limited:
i. Stick a single metal foil disk or patch of
approximately 5mm (1/4 inch)
diameter/dimensions to the surface of
the golf ball.
ii. Tee the ball up with the metal disk
facing forward, away from the sensor.
Spin measurement rule:
Outdoors
Indoors
Use unmarked balls in
good condition
Use with balls marked
with metal sticker
