For putting, the same exercise is done inside the learning center, with the addition of a camera directly above the golfer. The other two devices, of which the Learning Center has one each, involve monitoring of shots and player movement while hitting balls into nets. Golfers hit off a tee or mat and the simulator records ball speed off of the club, launch angle, yards in the air and total distance. Ball flight patterns are projected on the screen, and all records are retained and averaged out for each individual user. Determining the most advantageous driver specs for each golfer is one of the uses of the simulator.
Testing can determine at what loft a particular player gets most carry.
The third type unit in the center is from Swing Dynamics of Carlsbad, Ca. It has both a ball flight monitor and a player motion monitor system. The body motion analysis program works from sensors strapped onto the upper torso while the golfer hits into the net.
