Full Swing Golf

"Their new technology is impressive, it allows me to shape shots the way I want to." That was Tiger Woods on January 21st discussing his new partnership with Full Swing Golf Simulators.

Full Swing Simulators are equipped with Ion2 Vision Technology, a combination of an overhead high speed camera and Infrared Lightwave Technology which provided one of the most accurate and enjoyable golf simulator experiences of the PGA Show.

Infrared Lightwave Technology consists of a series of infrared senors built into a strip in the wall and ceiling of the simulator's self-contained enclosure that create 2 light "windows" the ball passes through. This technology allows the Full Swing Simulator to be incredibly fast, accurate, and realistic. Unlike most simulators that require the ball to be placed in a a specific location, inside the full swing simulator you can tee it up anywhere, and aim it at any corner of the screen. Since the ball breaks the "windows" at different locations, and the camera has tracked its starting location, golfers can adjust their aim, and change their angles just like they would in real life. The Full Swing Simulator is also fast; the instant your golf ball hits the screen it's visible in the virtual world at that exact location. It legitimately looks like you hit the golf ball into the game. The "golfer view" shot viewing option makes it even better, as the picture on the simulator tilts up to watch your ball flight as your eyes would in real life.

The accuracy for draws and fades, even on shorter shots was beautiful. It was comparable to the radar based systems which track the entire ball flight, but in a self contained indoor enclosure.

Full Swing's data and video technology is equally impressive. It measures 11 data points via the overhead camera including club head speed and angle, and all your standard ball launch statistics via the infrared sensors. It also is compatible with a high tech video system called Swing Catalyst.

Swing Catalyst uses 3 cameras and pressure plates in the floor to capture biometric and movement data. This includes body angles, weight shift, pressure, center of gravity, swing balance, and tempo. Combined with their fantastic launch monitor technology, and their lifelike simulator, Full Swing Golf and Swing Catalyst offer a complete package for indoor golf teaching, simulation, and club fitting.

Full Swing provides a full suite of teaching tools, including cloud based session storage, PDF student reports, shot and club comparisons, and fitting mode tools to directly compare clubs against one another. They also offer online tournaments and leagues that can be created or joined privately or publicly.

Full Swing Golf's Simulator is clean, good looking, and simple. The floor is raised to accommodate pressure plates, but it's a one level riser, and there are no bulky lumps around the teeing area. The carpeted riser floor, teeing area, and walls with infrared senors built in are all included.

Full Swing Golf Simulators are all built custom to spec, and range in price from the high 40's to the low 50's depending on your requirements.

Overall, I cannot overstate how fantastic this simulator was. Full Swing's combination of great technology, teaching tools, and realistic golf sim was without question one of the best of the show. It's no surprise that Tiger Woods, Jordan Spieth, Hunter Mahan, Michael Jordan, and Donald Trump are some of their recent clients.
