About Golf Launchpad Tour

Golf Launchpad Tour is the sequel to Electric~Spin’s award winning golf simulator family, Golf Launchpad Classic. With enhanced aesthetics, smaller footprint, 4x signal processing speedup, and a convenient, wireless Remote Caddy-, Golf Launchpad Tour dramatically raises the bar in home golf simulation by introducing a simulator that offers unmatched realism and entertainment with more courses, games and platforms than any other home golf system.

Golf Launchpad Tour’s patented TruFeel™ technology incorporates a regulation Surlyn™ ball attached to a double ball-bearing mounted flexible tether to accurately reproduce the physics of free-ball impact, with complete convenience and safety.

With the user’s swing thus completely unaltered by any unnatural dynamics, Launchpad Tour’s optical sensors read and process the club’s trajectory tens of thousands of times per second, before and after impact, to accurately render each shot on the screen – from driving to putting. Golf Launchpad’s Micro Capture Net deploys like an airbag to bring the ball to rest safely even before the the club comes to rest, so the only shot the the user hears is the sound of the club striking the ball-without any other distracting noises.

Launchpad’s advanced sensors don’t need special clubs, reflective tape, fancy lighting or other fluff! They can read clubs in total darkness to full sunlight-golfing on the patio has never been more fun! Total convenience, without compromise! The result: hear and feel the ping of your woods, the thwack of your irons, the click of your putter and experience unmatched, lifelike golf in the comfort of your living room or backyard on the world’s greatest courses. Bring the game home!
