How it Works
Golf Launchpad's tethered ball has been designed to reproduce the impact-physics of a free ball to perfection. Utilizing a flexible tether (which permits the ball to spin) and a precisely calibrated pivot, Golf Launchpad's ball is designed to impart the same forces to the club as a free ball. This means that you feel and hear the thwack of your irons and the ping of your wood

Customer Reviews

save your money
when the launchpad as arrived, it didn't works, I tried several time to install it, in different pc, I bought usb adapeter but nothing,
then I send it to elettricspin (I paid for the delivery) and they send me a new one.
When I tried it, after a couple of shot I understod that is a pour system, It's not understand the hook, slice or whatever, but just
shoot on strait on the left or right, so the most popular faults of golf are lost.
If you see the launcpad graphic you can esasly understand it.
I tried to link it with ps3 and golf game, but the resoult is the same, not funny at all.
So, I decided to use it as a mat (quite expensive mat!), after same shoots I took just before the moquette, and the moquette start to go away,
i tryed to fix it with bostick for plastic, but the problem persist.
Last but not least, the ball: after several shoots, the pivot was consumato, and the ball fly away! It was realy dangerous..
so I contacted the customer care, and they know the problem! they sand me the new version of the pivot, in plastic, after two shoots, the ball
fly away again!! it has broken a picture and pass near a baby!
I was realy upset, I contacted the customer care becouse I wanted my money back, but they didn't do nothing..

Good and Fun !
This is very fun and it's great practice. If used correctly it is fairly accurate.
However, set up is not for the tech. challenged person.

Super inaccurate
It's nice that it came bundled with a copy of Tiger Woods 2008 for the PC. And the "driving range" simulation software is ok. But actually using this to play a round in the Tiger Woods game? Almost impossible. If the unit actually registers a hit, half the time it just winds up going 10 feet. Not to mention the several times that the game thought I hit the ball when I was making my back swing. Thanks for wasting my money and taking up space in my dumpster.

Perfect (if you have high to the ceiling)
Probably the best affordable golf simulater on the marked.
Runs perfect with Tiger Woods PGA (PC version) and makes my game just as bad in the virtual world as it is for real :)
Back net seems to wear out pretty fast and as well the "tee" could be improved.

one of the best purchases ever!!!!!
This is simply a great product. It is easy to set up and works well with Tiger Woods golf for PS3 and PC. Since I can use this product with my own clubs it is going to save me many trips to the driving range. This product is alot of fun and is a good way to learn golf and stay in shape.I even played Pebble Beach in my pajamas!!!!
