Driver Optimizer
The Driver Optimizer button will be visible if the club type is set to
“Driver”. This function is described in more detail in the following section.
The FlightScope Driver Optimizer determines the LAUNCH ANGLE and BALL
SPIN that will produce the longest carry distance (alternatively total distance)
for a particular player.
The Driver Optimizer can be selected from the Club Comparison mode (see
section on Club Comparison).
Optimization can be done for either carry distance or total distance.
CAUTION
To be used for fitting DRIVERS only.
Not suitable for irons and wedges
How it works
STEP 1 - Using any driver, the player plays a set of typically 3-6 shots to
provide a statistical sample of his performance with the club.
STEP 2 - Inspect the shots to determine if there were any problem shots
(e.g. out-of-pattern readings). Delete (DEL key) all outliers from the shot
records.
STEP 3 - Select the DRIVER OPTIMIZER function. The OPTIMIZER screen will
display a graph and associated data.
NOTE
Driver Optimizer assumes player can achieve
a smash factor of 1.50
NOTE
Driver Optimizer uses a “medium” surface
hardness to determine the optimum
distances
