The latest gadget to hit the market is the Sureshotgps Launch Monitor (www.sureshotgps.com, 1300 644 523). This portable little unit will tell Dad his exact swing speed, shot distance, ball speed and smash factor, and put the fun back into the driving range. Using a Doppler radar sensor, the unit follows the ball trajectory to measure ball distance and speed within a range of 30-300m. The radar also tracks swing speed for further analysis and improvement. The Launch Monitor comes with two game modes. In game mode one, you tell your Launch Monitor what distance you want to hit and then it will add or deduct a point depending if you reach the desired distance. In game mode two, the Launch Monitor selects a random club to use and the desired distance; it will add or deduct a point depending if you reach the desired distance. The lightweight device is powered with AAA batteries. It easily fits in your golf bag and comes with a remote control, four inch LCD screen and durable casing.
