Ball Comparison
Ball Comparison
Ball Comparison follows the same procedure as Club Comparison but allows
the performance of different balls to be compared.
Start by selecting “Ball Comparison” on the main screen.
Enter the names of two or more balls to compare. There are two ways of
ball entry: Simple and Advanced. Toggle between the two by clicking on
the Tab marked Advanced or Simple
In the Simple entry mode, add a ball using the key, type in the
ball name and press the Enter key to add.
The Advanced tab provides lists of balls by manufacturer and
model. Select and edit balls from these lists. Ball names can be
edited after entry if needed.
To delete a ball entry, select the ball name and use the - key to delete.
To delete all entered balls at once, select Delete All from the - drop list.
Press Continue to proceed.
Ball Fitting Centre
FlightScope’s Advanced Ball Fitting uses Advanced Golf Solutions

ball
performance data of actual ball performance tests as a subscription feature.
A 10-day “free trial” is provided for evaluation.
How to use Ball Fitting
Fitting starts by entering the Player and then selecting a reference ball to test
from the list provided.
Continue to play several shots (3 to 6 recommended) with the reference ball.
Delete wayward shots if needed so that a representative sample is obtained.
The “best” ball fit is now evaluated depending on chosen criteria of Distance,
Accuracy, and Control. These are set on the Dials provided on a scale of 0%
to 100% for each.

Page 53
Distance is traded off against Accuracy. For example, if the golfer wants the
best ball for distance, the dials are set to 100% Distance and 0% Accuracy.
If the player wants the best combination of Distance and Accuracy, the dial is
set for 50% Distance and 50% Accuracy. Note that the two dials add to
100%.
“Control” represents Accuracy Dispersion. The relative “weight” of between
0% and 100% can be set independently from the other criteria.
The Ball Fitting routine evaluates total distance, carry distance, accuracy
dispersion, ball speed, launch angle, and spin for all balls or for a selected
sub-range in the database. Measurements from the reference ball are applied
to the other balls in the database with consideration of the selected weights.
The best performing balls will be ranked in a list from “best” to “worst”.

Limiting the Ball Range
Use Settings to select
the range of balls used
for comparison.
Filters can be selected
to limit the choice of
balls to specific
manufacturers (0ne or
several) or to a price
range (Premium,
Performance, or Value).
Modifying Fitting Criteria
The user can re-evaluate the ranking for different criterion settings, e.g. by
adjusting the relative weight of the Distance dial, and noting the new
ranking.

Sensor Status Indicators
The status of the Sensor is displayed in the upper right hand corner of the
Main screen:
State 1 – Connected, Standby
State 2 – Connected, Ready
State 3 – Disconnected
USB Port Status
This indicates the status of the USB port is
“open” or “closed”. If the icon is I/blue the USB
port is “open” and usable. If the icon is 0/red,
the USB port is closed. A port will usually be
automatically opened unless it is occupied by
another program.
If required, use the Re-open Connection function on the Advanced
Settings menu to connect to the sensor. If “Re-open Connection” fails
after repeated attempts, check that the USB communications cable is
plugged into both the PC and the sensor. Also, investigate if another program
is running on the computer occupying the USB port.
Connection Status
Connection Status indicates if the sensor is
connected to the correct port and responds
normally to commands and messages. If true,
the icon will be blue.
When the sensor is disconnected the icon will turn red, indicating that the
sensor is not responding to messages from the computer.
A gray icon (along with red on the Port Status indicator) indicates that the
USB port is not open, and a connection attempt cannot be made.
The indicator will be red when the sensor is not switched on. If this occurs
check the power to the sensor or cycle the sensor power off and on to
attempt to reconnect the sensor to the computer.

Ready/Idle
The Ready/Idle indicator (right side) indicates if the
sensor is active (ready) or inactive (idle).
A green icon indicates that the sensor is active and
ready to measure the next shot.
When the sensor is not measuring (idle) the icon is
blue. A gray icon indicates that the sensor is not
connected.
Battery Level
The Battery Level indicator shows the approximate
amount of charge available in the batteries.

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:
Stick a single metal foil disk or patch of
approximately 5mm (1/4 inch)
diameter/dimensions to the surface of the
golf ball.
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
Metal sticker order info: Part# 77715A33 Foil from www.mcmaster.com

P
ARAMETERS
Carry Distance: Distance in a straight line from the tee-off spot to where
the golf ball touches the ground again. Roll excluded.
Clubhead Speed: The club speed at the point of impact.
Ball Speed: Speed of the golf ball at the start of flight, in the direction of
flight.
Smash Factor: This is a factor of shot efficiency. It provides a very good
idea of how sweetly the ball was struck. Even on perfect shots, the Smash
depends on factors such as balls used, coefficient of restitution of the club,
and loft.
HINT: The process allows the fitter to wait for acknowledgment from the
client on a good shot on a specific club, before proceeding and accepting
following shots that have the same or better Smash results (higher value).
When changing to the next club, the process is repeated.
Launch Angle: Also known as vertical angle or elevation angle. The launch
angle is the angle at which the ball departs from the tee position from the
horizontal plane.
Direction: Also known as horizontal angle or azimuth angle, it is the angle
at which the ball travels from the tee position relative to the pointing
direction of sensor in the horizontal plane. Positive angles are to the right
(clockwise) and negative angles are to the left (counter-clockwise).
Vertical Descent Angle: The angle at which the ball hits the ground
relative to the horizontal plane.
Height: The apex (maximum height) that the ball reaches during its flight.
Classification: The classification of the shot is made based on the
measured trajectory direction and curvature of the flight path.
Attack Angle: The angle in the vertical plane relative to the horizontal, at
which the club head is delivered to the ball. A negative number angle
indicates a descending club and a positive angle indicates an ascending club.
Face Angle: The horizontal angle of the clubface at ball impact relative
to the line of play. The angle is displayed with an R (Right – for club face
pointing to the right) and L (Left – for club face pointing to the left).

Club Path: The direction of the club movement relative to the target line at
the position of ball impact. The angle is displayed with an indication R (Right
- for in-to-out movement) and L (Left – for out-to-in movement).
Dynamic Loft: The vertical angle of the club face relative to the horizontal
at ball impact. This angle is made up of the club loft (most dominant) as well
as the position and flex of the club shaft at impact.
Swing Plane (H+V): The swing plane is the plane in which the club head
moves. The horizontal angle (H) is relative to the target line. The vertical
angle (V) is relative to the ground) e.g. 90˚ would be upright; 0˚is parallel to
the ground).
Ball Spin Axis: The spin axis indicates the orientation of the ball spin. A ball
with pure backspin only will have a spin axis of 0˚. A positive spin angle will
indicate ball movement to the right due to spin.

Q
UESTIONS
(FAQ)
Q: What is FlightScope?
A: FlightScope is a low-power 3D Doppler tracking radar for Golf and other
sports. It accurately measures the launch and flight of balls and clubs and
provides quantitative data about player and equipment performance.
Q: How does FlightScope work?
A: FlightScope creates a low level electromagnetic field through which the
golf ball and the golf club move. The movement creates a disturbance that is
detected and processed to extract position and speed. The measured launch
and flight data is displayed on a PC program in various views, and also
stored. Measurements include: ball and clubhead speeds, launch angles,
spin, carry distance, smash factor, and more.
Q. How is FlightScope different from other golf measurement
systems?
A: FlightScope is fundamentally different from most other launch monitors
because it measures ball speed, position and direction continuously along the
ball’s flight path using Doppler radar technology.
FlightScope is not only a launch monitor, but also measures what the club
and ball are actually moving. It is therefore a more accurate and
comprehensive measuring instrument for golf than a camera or light beam
based system that take only single or at most a few launch data points and
estimate what the ball will do after launch.
FlightScope is not dependent on ambient lighting conditions (it can work in
complete darkness), it does not create blinding flashes of light.
Q: How accurate is it?
A: FlightScope represents the state of the art in measuring technology for
projectiles in flight. It is in a different class to launch-only monitors, and is
able to track speeds extremely accurately and determine ball positions to
within single yards.
Q: Where must I stand to use the system? Which direction
must I hit?
A: The sensor is typically placed approx 2.4-4.2 meters (8-14 feet) behind
the tee. The ball is hit away from the sensor along its pointing direction.
Q: Can FlightScope help me make the right club selection to
play a particular shot?
A: FlightScope measures the performance (launch conditions and launch
results) of golf shots and provides data to a player or club fitter to make
scientifically justified decisions about the right clubs and balls.

FlightScope User Manual
Copyright EDH 2007-2011 E19-WA082 Issue A5_7
Page 113
Q: Is the sensor portable? How must it be mounted?
A: The sensor has been calibrated to be placed or mounted on the floor or
ground. To measure accurately, the sensor must be carefully aligned with the
tee and the ground. Follow the prescribed setup procedures.
Q: Can FlightScope only be used outside on a golf course or
driving range?
A: No. FlightScope is a versatile instrument that can be used both indoors
and outdoors (e.g. at a driving range or golf course).
Q: How much ball flight distance is required by the
FlightScope in order to display a result?
A: Typically at least 14 feet of ball flight is required.
Q: How far back must FlightScope be set up behind the tee?
A: A good practical distance is between 2.4m and 4.2m (8 to 14ft). There is
no perfect distance, although a good rule of thumb is 3m/10ft.
Q: How is alignment of FlightScope done?
A: In order to get accurate club and ball measurements, always align the
sensor mechanically using a measuring tape and a set square so that the
distance and pointing direction are accurate. Also level the sensor. Use the
software Setup Wizard to assist or check the alignment.
Q: How long does it take to align the unit?
A: A trained user can set up and align the FlightScope within the time it takes
to start up his computer.
Q: Must I use special balls?
A: FlightScope measures any ball that is used. Even non-standard balls are
measured accurately. To measures the actual flight of every specific ball,
making no assumptions about the type or quality of the ball.
However, for accurate measurement of ball spin during a short distance
indoor shot, it is recommended that a ball be marked with a small metal foil
disk/patch. A marked ball enhances the ability of the system to measure spin
accurately.
Q: How does shot classification work?
A: The actual path of the ball is determined by various factors like spin, lift,
drag, aerodynamic coefficient, air pressure, humidity, etc. By measuring the
actual ball flight, FlightScope can determine the type of shot (fade, draw,
slice, etc.)
Q: Will I receive future enhancements of FlightScope?
A: You have a standard 12-month warranty on hardware and software.
In addition though, you can subscribe to an annual support agreement
enabling you to receive upgrades for your system when they become
available.

Page 114
Q: Can FlightScope be used in the rain?
A: Although the FlightScope sensor is sealed and will not suffer ingress of
water it is not intended to be used in rain as it is powered from a mains
electrical supply. For safety reasons power down and cover the system, or
move it indoors when it rains.
Q: Can slow swing speeds be detected?
A: FlightScope discriminates against too low swing speeds, to reject false
measurements from other movements in the area. For weak golfers and
children who are not able to swing a club powerfully, the system can
however be set to “wedge” mode, enabling the detection of shots.
Q: What type of lighting can be used with FlightScope?
A: The best lights to use are solid state or incandescent lighting, or certain
halogen types. Fluorescent lights for example can influence Doppler
measurements. This can however be effectively screened if it occurs. Consult
your FlightScope representative for assistance with lighting problems.
Q: Can FlightScope only be used for golf?
A: FlightScope is a brand name for a range of sports tracking technology
products and services, but it is currently well known in the golf market.
FlightScope technology is also used in cricket, tennis and other sports. The
various sports however use different software, and a system for Golf cannot
be used directly for example for Tennis.
