The Golf Academy Facilities

The James Atthey Golf Academy:

located within Stokesley Golf Range, at the foot of the North Yorkshire Moors, close to Teesside, York and Durham is proud to have a contrasting array of tools and facilities to aid our High Class Coaching. From the FlightScope to the Golf Driving Range to the Short Game Area and so much more.

Flightscope

Technology has taken sport to a level of competition unlike anything seen before. More accurate sports measurement systems have resulted in improvements in many aspects of many sports – not only for players, but for spectators, too. One such technological advent is that of 3D ball tracking. This is great for golfers, for example, who are looking for a ball tracking monitor or 3D golf radar and a method of golf swing analysis that provides genuinely useful feedback. If you’ve been wondering how 3D Doppler tracking works to enhance your game, wonder no more!

The secret of FlightScope’s 3D ball tracking success lies in the patented phased array tracking technology that is used in the device. The two main technological aspects of the FlightScope 3D motion tracking device are its radar technology (very similar to that which is used in the military), and its advanced industrial electronics. So what does this mean for you in a practical sense? Well, it means you have access to a level of ball measurement and ball tracking that is difficult to beat.
How does the 3D Doppler Tracking Golf Radar work?

FlightScope’s 3D ball tracking devices and golf radars can measure a number of variables related to golf balls. These include:

  • Real time tracking
  • Ball speed
  • Both vertical and horizontal launch angles
  • Sidespin
  • Backspin

How does 3D Doppler Tracking Radar work with golf clubs?

Flightscope’s 3D motion tracking devices are not just about ball measurement; they can also help with your golf swing analysis by measuring variables related to your golf club including:

  • Club head speed
  • Club vertical attack angle
  • Club horizontal attack angle
  • Club face angle

The ball’s trajectory after it has been launched is also measured, which means you have exceptionally comprehensive ball measurement.
