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.
