The obvious follow-up question is why did Sabbatini have the dot on the face in the first place? To answer this question, let’s take a look at Foresight Sports’ popular GCQuad - a launch monitor that utilizes four super-speed cameras to ensure high-level capture at 10,000 frames per second.
Gear Foresight Sports’ GCQuad launch monitor generates pinpoint data for the world’s best (and you, too) By: If you want ball data (speed, carry, launch, spin axis, total spin, etc.), simply fire up the unit, grab a club and get to work.īut what happens if you want club data as well? Understanding how the face is moving through space is an important piece of the puzzle that GCQuad can also capture, provided you have the same reflective face markers that caused Sabbatini to head home after one round. “The optical technologies Foresight creates utilize photoluminescent fiducials (stickers) that reflect light and allow our multi-camera optical system to pinpoint the precise coordinates of various points on the clubface,” said Tim Briand, Foresight’s director of business development.

“Foresight’s ability to precisely identify club delivery and ball launch metrics is one of the primary drivers behind our widespread tour adoption, and a large reason why a majority of the PGA Tour has converted into our technology.” “They are needed to ensure the most accurate and precise impact data regarding the orientation of the face. In other words, if you want to see the whole picture, you need the reflective dots to capture the face. (If you’re curious, Foresight offers 192 club markers for $45 on its website.)Īccording to Briand, the dots can be oriented in one of two ways to capture club data.

The 1-dot mode - meaning one sticker placed on the face - gives clubhead speed, angle of attack and path, while the 4-dot mode enables full face data capture. It’s unclear which mode Sabbatini was using, but it’s likely he tested the fairway wood on the range at Sea Island and then forgot to remove it before the first round. Here’s hoping the fairway wood data he received from the test session is beneficial down the road. Want to overhaul your bag for 2022?
