GSA Golf : PX Sensor systems 2

PX tracking systems start from just $ 1,299 - all supplied with TGC and RedChain software

PX2 + Vcam + Trigger array + Stance mats System includes TGC 15 course software

you'll always get a perfect launch angle based on the loft of the club you have selected.

Even topped shots that would normally just skim along the ground still launch perfectly with these pads

The PX Vcam features built in IR LED lighting and a high speed machine vision camera that captures ball launch angles from 0 to 90 degrees.

Priced at just $ 1,299, the PX Vcam is an affordable add on to your PX sensor mat

The PX Vcam is an easy setup and portable vertical launch camera that compliments PX1 and PX2 club tracking mats.

Our manufacturing and assembly time for the PX3 sensor mat exceeds 14 hours per unit

2. Club head face angle at impact to ball ( degrees club-head open or closed at moment of impact in relation to club head path )

Advanced mathmatical algorithms in the software calculate (not measure) ball spin and spin axis tilt

from the club-face angle, club path, loft and velocity which determines the ball flight curve

System includes TGC 15 course software plus RedChain 10 hoe course plus E6 single course 30 day demo!

Note that PX2 and PX3 systems - like all other low cost pads - use the loft of the selected club as the vertical launch angle

Tracking system: Photocell optical club and ball tracking sensors with LX ball vertical launch and spin rate detection

Data captured: Club speed, club face angle, club path, ball path, ball launch angle, ball speed plus ball spin rate

Most accurate photocell club tracking sensor mat on the market. Most accurate ball launch angle, ball path and ball spin system.

PX - LX

The PX - LX combines any of the PX sensor tracking mats with the LX Lite or LX Pro camera launch monitor

Add ball vertical launch, speed and spin to the PX1 or PX2 or PX3 sensor tracking mats with the PX-LX

Pros and Cons of optical systems compared to camera systems

PX optical system advantages
1. Compared to camera systems, our PX optical sensor systems are a breeze to setup
Other than installing the software and mounting an overhead lamp, PX optical sensor systems are Plug'n,Play
2. PX Optical sensor systems don't require the room or enclosure to be dark
3. PX Optical sensor systems don't require flooring to be non reflective
4. PX Optical sensor systems don't require any tracking dots to be applied the club
5. PX Optical sensor systems detect very precise club speed as well as club face angle and club path
PX optical system disadvantages
1. Optical sensor systems are not quite as accurate as camera systems
2. Optical sensor systems require cameras (LX or CX) to detect ball launch angle
3. Optical sensor systems require that the player always play the ball from the same spot unless using ball tracking cameras

Combining camera and optical sensor systems

Most of the above disadvantages can be overcome by combing both camera and optical sensor systems

The PX5 for example uses optical sensors to capture club data so that there is no requirement to apply any tracking dots to the club

and the cameras capture ball data (ball speed, path and launch angle) and allow the player to hit from other surfaces like fairway, rough, sand and greens for putting.

GSA Golf true feel mats

Warning! Most low cost (under $1000 ) optical sensor golf pads only use a thin grass top layer that feels very hard.

When hitting into these pads it can hurt and cause sprained wrists.

After using these pads for a while you'll probably find that you are adjusting your swing so as not to hit into the mat.

In contrast, GSA Golf use long grass fiber mats that allow the club to get under the ball for a true feel

PX2 vs CTS

Club Tracking Systems

PX2 advantages

1. Detects club path, speed and face angle for all clubs without tracking dots or markings on the club

2. Easy setup compared to cameras - it's essentially plug n play

3. PX Optical sensor systems detect very precise club speed as well as club face angle and club path

PX2 disadvantages

1. No photographic evidence of club face angle accuracy

CTS advantages

1. Detects club path, speed and face angle for all clubs with photographic evidence

2. Most accurate club tracking system available

CTS disadvantages

1. More complex setup

2. If not using tracking dots a visible flash is seen with every shot

3. Tracking dots or stripes may need to be applied to the clubs

Not sure which is best ?

No problem. We offer free exchanges of CTS and PX2 systems with associated price adjustments.

i.e. if you purchase one club tracking system and decide later that the other would be better than we can usually do a straight swap plus price difference as long as the unit is in good condition

BX ball tracking sensors

Use the BX ball path detection sensor array with built in trigger for the Vcam vertical launch camera

to replace the Hcam and SX line scan camera in a CX system

Price: $ 1,295.00

Camera sensor trigger array

As an alternative to our line scan camera triggers, you can also use optical sensor array triggers to trigger the V and H cam ball tracking cameras

The unit is 5ft in length and features 48 sensors that detect any ball passing over them.

Its advantage over the SX line scan camera trigger is that it doesn't require a non reflective floor surface that usually requires black carpet to be placed under the SX camera
