1. A method for determining ballistics of golf balls in different atmospheric conditions, comprising:
receiving, by a mobile device comprising one or more processors via a network interface of the mobile device from a launch monitor comprising a high speed camera, a set of characteristics for each of a plurality of golf swings of a golf ball under baseline atmospheric conditions, the set of characteristics determined from high speed recordings of the golf swing and comprising a launch angle, a launch angular velocity, or a club head speed;
aggregating the set of characteristics from each of the plurality of golf swings in a data file stored in memory of the mobile device until determining, by a player profile accessor executed by the one or more processors, that the set of characteristics for the plurality of golf swings satisfies a threshold to create a player profile;
responsive to the determination, generating, by the player profile accessor, a player profile comprising an average of each characteristic of the aggregated sets of characteristics;
receiving, by a ballistics determiner executed by the one or more processors via the network interface from an external computing device, second atmospheric conditions different from the baseline atmospheric conditions, the second atmospheric conditions determined based on a location of the mobile device;
calculating, by the ballistics determiner, a triplet of forces on a golf ball when hit by a golf swing based on the average of each characteristic in the player profile;
calculating, by the ballistics determiner, a predicted distance traveled by the golf ball when hit by the golf swing under the second atmospheric conditions based on the calculated triplet of forces; and
presenting, by the mobile device, in a graphical user interface via a display of the mobile device, the predicted distance traveled by the golf ball under the second atmospheric conditions.
