Performance
A combination of our ION3 overhead camera measures the club data and initial impact data for the ball then the primary measurements take place in-flight as the ball crosses our HyperClear cameras combining blue light LED & Infrared technology (Pro 2.0 Simulator) or high-speed Linescan cameras (Sport Simulator) directly in front of the screen.
Our ION3 overhead high-speed camera is dedicated to measuring all club data while also providing instant replay of your clubhead at impact for you to review.
By measuring your club and ball data not just at impact like many other simulator companies, but again in-flight as the ball approaches the screen, Full Swing is able to measure and calculate based on the impact data , the data collected mid-flight of how it has traveled so far to determine exactly where it will enter the simulated world on screen and where it will land in the matter of milliseconds.
