THE GOLF LAB ~ Simulator

At The GOLF LAB, we use advanced technology that might seem complex at first glance, especially to those unfamiliar with technical concepts. However, for those with a tech-savvy background, it’s relatively straightforward. I’ll break down the technology we use, how it works, and, most importantly, how it can help you improve your golfing skills.

The Tech

The Mevo+ device combines radar and video technologies through "Fusion Tracking," ensuring accurate and comprehensive swing analysis. Using a phased antenna array, it continuously transmits and receives radar waves aimed at the Simulator hitting area. These waves create a visual representation within the software, while the integrated video camera records footage of each swing. When a golfer strikes the ball, the system synchronizes radar data with video output. This dual approach leverages the strengths of both technologies, capturing key swing details while trimming and storing the data efficiently. Software algorithms process the information, displaying the ball's trajectory on-screen. At the end of each shot, all relevant data is presented for precise and actionable insights.

Many individuals are familiar with the distinctive Happy Gilmore golf swing and the exaggerated swings seen in long drive competitions, recognizing that these techniques deviate significantly from a conventional golf swing. This raises the question: how does the system contribute to improving your golfing skills?

Let's look at the areas that make the most impact on your swing
     1 - The fundamentals - Stance (Feet Position and Direction), Posture, Grip, Ball Placement.
     2 - The Club Path - A few feet before and after Impact with the ball. Is it Outside - In, Inside - Out, or Inside - Inside.
     3 - The Club Face Angle relative to both the Target Line and the Swing Path. Is it Open or Closed at Impact.
     4 - The areas that set you up for a proper Swing Path and Club Face Impact and a good follow through to the target.

Sections 1 and 4 are designed to prepare you for the critical moments in Sections 2 and 3. While individual approaches to preparation and recovery may vary, maintaining consistency during the backswing and downswing is essential for achieving effective contact. Your actions before and after impact are shaped by your flexibility and natural skills. Golf instructors focus on optimizing the backswing, downswing, and follow-through to guide your swing path and Club Face Angle, ensuring precision at the moment of impact.

Our analytical system will not only track the swing transitions, but it will also provide the data on the specific angles of your swings, enabling you to make necessary adjustments. This will enhance your understanding of your swing mechanics.

UNDERSTANDING THE ANALYTICAL DATA PRODUCED AFTER EACH SHOT:

DO I REALLY NEED TO KNOW?

Every golfer possesses a distinctive golf swing. While some swings may appear similar to others, it is quite rare for them to be identical. The parameters that converge at the moment of impact with the ball are what determine whether a golf shot is successful or not, whether it travels a long distance or falls short, and whether it goes straight rather than veering left or right. Identifying the root cause of any issue is the first step toward resolution. This is where our system proves invaluable, as it equips you with insights into your specific swing. Engaging in practice without understanding leads to a cycle of trial and error, often resulting in compensatory adjustments that do not address the underlying issue. In contrast, practicing with knowledge allows you to concentrate on the factors that cause the ball to deviate from your intended target.

Golf simulators are remarkable tools that have transformed the game. If you wish to ascertain the precise distance, height, and spin of your 7-iron shots, nothing provides more accurate data than a launch monitor, commonly referred to as a golf simulator.

We compile all relevant data and make it accessible to you. This enables you, along with your instructor if you have one, to analyze your swing, identify areas for improvement, and swiftly develop a corrective plan.
