Hi Fellow golfers, I have recently seen a demo of a device through an investment opportunity. The device can measure speed, launch angle, horizontal angle, spin and spin axis. I hit balls myself and I observed the results are close to Trackman. I promised to keep the info confidential but the demo was impressive. The founder of the company thinks, they can market this for 399$. I like to ask to the guys on board: - Low cost device such as that, who will buy such a device? How big is the market? What would you do with such data? (Distance, launch angle etc). Would the average golfer buy it? If so why? I get why the teaching pros would buy it but that is a very small market. Would you guys buy it? If so why?

Hi, Recently, I was talking to an old colleague, he said that he is developing a simple launch monitor that can measures speed and launch angle and the general direction of the ball. He believed he could bring this to market under 300 USD street price. This got me thinking, there is really no product like that except some basic radars but they don't provide launch angle etc. If you want those details, you need to go high end which becomes a substantial investment. What do you guys think? He is asking me to invest in his company, do you guys think such device has a potential market? Frank
