The Vector Pro is the latest in Launch Monitor Technology

This launch monitor is one of the most precise instruments in ball launch technology and is recognised for its accuracy. Listed below is some information of what your professional club-fitter will measure.

Trajectory Measurements:
A proper launch angle and spin rate will help you find your ideal trajectory. A trajectory that is too low occurs when there is not enough backspin on the ball. This can cause the ball to fall more quickly and result in decreased distance.

1.   A ball that flies too high has too much backspin. This also can decrease distance. The shot will start low, then quickly climb upward and drop.

2.   The best trajectory starts on a relatively high initial-launch angle and climbs at a constant rate, decreasing high-speed drag and maximizing low-speed lift. The ball lands on the ground at a shallow angle; this causes it to continue rolling, maximizing distance. 

Side Angle and Side Spin Measurements:
Improperly fitted clubs can result in shots that pull to the left or push to the right. Your fitting expert can help determine what your basic shot shape is—pull, straight, or push—and recommend the specifications that best suit you.

Swing Tempo:
Your fitting expert will look closely at your swing speed and efficiency, combined with your swing tempo, to determine the best shaft options for you.

Attack Angle:
A player with a steep attack angle tends to hit down on the ball, while a player with a sweeping attack angle hits the ball on a level plane or sometimes even on the upswing. Knowing your attack angle can help the fitter determine the proper combination of loft and shaft flex for your club.

Lie Angle:
A lie angle that is too upright can result in shots that are pulled, or go to the left for right-handed people. A lie angle that is too flat may result in shots that are pushed, or go to the right for right-handed people. Having clubs that are at the proper lie can ensure that your shot pattern and shot shapes are as consistent as possible.

Launch Conditions:
Your fitting expert will review your club-head speed and ball speed. These conditions have the most impact on your overall distance and efficiency. The key to proper club selection and fitting is to create the proper combination of launch conditions, then select the specs that best suit your swing.
