Golf Launchpad for driver fitting?

[ronaldkuntoro]

I plan to buy this simulator:
http://www.electricspin.com/golfsimulator

I will use it solely for Fitting my driver. To get numbers such as Club head speed and Launch Angle.

Does this simulator give accurate numbers? Is it good enough for Driver fitting?

It's not gonna be the best for deterring between drivers. I doubt you'll get a ton of solid data to really decide.

Hi ronaldkuntoro,

I have the LaunchPad Tour from Electricspin and would not recommend it for Club Fitting. It will give you club head speed but, as it only reads the club and not the ball data, the Launch Angle that it gives is purely a calculated (estimated) value based on what club you have told the software you are hitting and not an actual value. For club fitting, you would probably need a Launch Monitor such as this one http://www.foresightsports.com/ . However, expect to pay an awful lot more for one of these than for the LaunchPad!!! It would probably be best for you to visit a golf store which as a Launch Monitor if you just want to get fitted for a driver.

Hi ronaldkuntoro,

Hi andyfive,

Thanks for the info. I need something that I can use on a regular basis (like every week) rather than visiting a golf store once in a while. I like to do experiments with my Golf equipments.
