What is Golf Launchpad™
Golf Launchpad is a family of home golf simulators
for Windows / Mac (A$399) and PlayStation2 (A$399).
Think of Golf Launchpad as a high-quality golf pad or
golf mat embedded with sensors and digital signal processing
— effectively a specialized game controller for
golf!
Attached to the rugged, low-profile, 3KG unit is a
tethered, regulation golf ball attached to a silky-smooth
double ball-bearing mount for a completely authentic
golf experience, right down to the thwack of your irons
and the ping of your driver. Golf Launchpad is the ultimate
home golf simulator that allows you to create, with
your large screen TV or projector, the ultimate indoor
golf experience!
When you swing your clubs — wood, iron or putter
— Golf Launchpad measures your golf swing thousands
of times each second (clubhead speed, path, angle) and
translates this into information that EA Sports Tiger
Woods PGA Tour software renders on-screen with breathtaking
realism and accuracy.
Use all the clubs in your bag, or if you’re restricted
by ceiling height, substitute a shorter club for a longer
one (most people can swing a 6-iron safely with 2.3m
ceilings), and enjoy the full-game from — driving
to putting. Play golf at home on the world’s best
golf courses with unbeatable comfort and convenience!
Even tee off against competitors online!
Golf Launchpad gives you the ultimate virtual golf
experience available. Period. Golf Launchpad is a world-class
golf simulation system that has been compared to $10,000+
golf simulators by Robb Report Magazine!

How it works?
Golf
Launchpad's tethered ball has been designed to reproduce
the impact-physics of a free ball to perfection. Not
an easy task, as club head/ball collision is a complex
phenomenon involving forces of up to a ton.
Utilising a flexible tether (which permits the ball
to spin) and a precisely calibrated pivot, Golf Launchpad's
ball is designed to impart the same forces to the club
as a free ball. This means that you feel and hear the
thwack of your irons and the ping of your woods just
as you would on the fairway. We call this TruFeel™
and it is the subject of several patent applications.
Optical sensors embedded deep under the turf track
your club over the sensor grid during the critical moment
of impact, measuring vast quantities of data off your
club, such as angle, velocity, acceleration and path.
Electric~Spin’s state-of-the-art digital signal
processing technology embedded in Golf Launchpad converts
the mountains of raw data into pinpoint accuracy.
