Hi-tech launch monitor unveiled

The Foresight GC3 personal launch monitor can be used indoors as well.

THE release of the Foresight Sports GC3 launch monitor comes more than a decade after the GC2, regarded by many today as the all-time leading seller in performance launch monitor technology.

The Foresight GC3 golf launch monitor delivers great accuracy and performance, both outdoors and indoors, providing a simulation experience synonymous only with Foresight.

“Built on the same advanced technology found in our Tour-dominating flagship launch monitor, the GCQuad, the new GC3 features a three-camera system that delivers ball and club performance data, both outdoors and indoors, with industry-leading precision,” said Foresight Sports Global sales director Rick Cuellar.

“Thanks to the precise sub-millimetre measurement of the golf ball and club, the GC3 ensures accurate and reliable feedback both on the range and in your home simulator. No other launch monitor technology compares to the GC line when it comes to delivering real-time performance insight.”

Cuellar added: “The GC3 was designed from the start to fill the gap between our original ball-data-only GC2 and the unmatched data insight of our GCQuad.

“It delivers the essential ball and club data players need to reliably improve their game as well as power a true-to-life virtual golf experience. No other product on the market comes close to delivering this range of options, nor this level of indoor-outdoor accuracy – at this price.”

Cuellar said from “the PGA Tour to the home simulator, the GC line of launch monitors is the most awarded, most trusted and best-selling professional-grade launch monitor line ever.

“When performance matters, the choice is easy. It’s GC3.”

Much of the technology is based on a high-speed camera system, while the data includes ball speed, launch angle, side angle, total spin, backspin, spin axis and side spin.

From the club, the data includes the club speed, efficiency, angle of attack and club path.

The dimensions of launch monitor are 15.2cm (W) x 30.5cm (H) x 12.7cm (D), and it weighs 2.3kg and comes with a five to seven hour lithium ion battery.

In Malaysia the Foresight GC3 personal launch monitor is exclusively available from MST Golf stores and carries a suggested retail price tag of RM38,500.
