The Foresight Falcon Launch Monitor :

Each of the suites at The Golf Reserve is equipped with a Foresight Falcon Launch Monitor. This monitor uses the same technology as the tour-grade GC Quad that many pros rely on for consistent, reliable, accurate performance data.

The following overview will help to provide key functionality of the launch monitor and how to optimize its use.

Falcon Hitting Zones

The Falcon has a 5ft wide by 28” deep hitting zone that works across two different modes: Ball only and Club and Ball.

In “Ball Only Mode” (Falcon LED glows blue) - the ball can be placed anywhere within the 59”w x 28”d hitting area. This zone is divided in its center, effectively splitting the area in half. As players offset the ball, the Falcon will trigger changes in the player’s dexterity (left-handed vs. right-handed). Therefore, it is always wise to set the ball up closer to the center of the hitting mat when using irons, wedges and putters and offset the ball further out in front of you when using woods and drivers. Bringing the ball too close can result in a misread on your handedness and skew your data.

In “Club and Ball Mode” (Falcon LED glows green) - the combined data is best captured when the ball is placed in the upper quadrant of the hitting zone - effectively a 1.5 foot wide by 1 foot deep area offset by player handedness. For this reason, it is always wise to offset your ball beyond the center of the hitting mat regardless of the clubs you are playing to capture all of your club head data.
