DETAILED PACKAGE INFORMATION

LAUNCH MONITOR

Foresight Falcon Launch Monitor Overview


The Foresight Falcon is an overhead-mounted launch monitor designed to deliver high-fidelity golf shot tracking—the same kind of data and reliability as other top-tier units, but in a more compact, lighter form factor. It uses quad-rascopic high-speed camera technology (two pairs of cameras) to capture both club and ball data from above, minimizing interference, reducing floor space clutter, and improving consistency in measurement. Its design includes rugged build materials, impact protection, and versatile connection options. It is aimed at home simulator users, commercial facilities, club fitters, and instructors who want accurate data, large hitting zones, and rich software support.

Data Measured:

The Foresight Falcon Launch Monitor provides a wealth of data that will help every golfer improve:

Metric What It Measures Use / Why It Matters
Ball Speed The speed of the golf ball immediately post-impact Key for distance estimation; shaft & face-quality verification.
Launch Angle (Vertical & Horizontal) The angle at which the ball leaves the clubface relative to the horizontal and side angle Influences carry, trajectory shape.
Back Spin / Total Spin How fast the ball is spinning backwards (and total spin vectors) Affects lift, stopping power on greens.
Side Spin Spin causing the ball to curve left/right (slice/hook) Helps diagnose spin-axis issues; shot shape control.
Spin Axis The tilt/rotation axis of the ball’s spin Determines flight curvature.
Club Head Speed Speed of the club head at impact Related to power and potential distance; used in fitting.
Club Path The direction the club head is moving through impact (inside-out, outside-in) Critical for shot shape and correcting swing flaws.
Angle of Attack Whether the club is moving up or down at impact Affects spin, launch, compression.
Loft at impact Effective loft of club at impact, often altered by dynamic club face/cylinder interactions Influences launch angle and carry.
Face Angle Orientation of clubface relative to target line at impact Major determinant of initial shot direction.
Lie Angle of the club sole relative to the ground at impact Affects flight and roll, especially with irons.
Impact Location Where on the clubface the ball was struck Mis-hits lose energy; affects spin, direction.
Closure Rate How quickly the clubface closes relative to the path for a given shot Helps understand face-path relationships.

Software Options

Falcon is supported by several software packages—both proprietary and third-party. Here are the major ones, what they offer, and considerations:

Software What it is / Who it’s for Key Features Requirements / Notes
FSX Play Foresight’s newest simulator software focused on immersive visual experience 3D graphics, dynamic lighting, rich visuals; large course library (≈ 25 courses included with Falcon)  PC required; good GPU recommended; internet-connected; proprietary to Foresight.
FSX 2020 Foresight’s legacy simulator platform Stable/games & practice modes; works offline; still many courses; good core simulator functionality.  Requires PC; may use security dongle or other licensing; may have simpler graphics compared to FSX Play.
FSX Pro Data-driven / coach / club-fitter tool Detailed metrics, session/player tracking, fitting features; works on PC and iPad for some aspects.  Use of PC or compatible iPad; good display; some features may require more powerful hardware.
Third-Party Simulator Software (GSPro, E6 Connect, Awesome Golf, Creative Golf 3D, etc.) For users who prefer different UI, courses, multiplayer, or already have subscriptions Alternative course libraries; different game modes or challenge types; possibility to mix/match with what you like. The Falcon is fully unlocked, so third-party compatibility is included out of the box. For some Foresight models you need a subscription (“Gold Subscription”) to unlock third-party use; that’s not needed for the Fa

Space Recommendations

Falcon Mounting & Setup
  • Ceiling Height: 9.5 to 10.5 feet
  • Mounting Distance from Hitting Surface: 4 feet in front of the mat
  • Screen Distance from Hitting Surface: 10 to 12 feet

    Space Considerations
    • Height: A minimum of 9.5 to 10.5 feet of ceiling height is recommended for the device itself, but the total ceiling height must accommodate the golfer's swing.
    • Width: A 12-foot width is generally recommended for a comfortable setup, allowing space for the hitting area and protection.
    • Depth: At least 12 feet of depth is needed for the distance from the hitting mat to the screen, plus the room for the golfer to swing without obstruction.

    Important Considerations

    • Golfer's Swing: Tall golfers or those with a steep swing will require more ceiling height.
    • Two-Handed Players: The setup needs to allow sufficient space for both left- and right-handed players to swing their clubs without interference.
    • Ideal Conditions: The Falcon's photometric technology allows it to accurately read shots with less space than radar-based units, though the ideal setup ensures optimal data collection and user experience. 

    PC Requirements

    For running the software (FSX Play, FSX 2020, FSX Pro) with the Falcon, here are the minimum and recommended hardware specs:

    Component Minimum Spec Recommended / Optimal Spec
    Operating System 64-bit Windows 10 or greater  Same OS; latest updates applied
    Processor (CPU) 7th Gen or newer Intel i5 / i7 / i9 processors  Higher-end i7/i9; more cores helpful especially for graphics / simulation load
    Memory (RAM) 8 GB system memory  16 GB+ recommended, especially for “Swing Camera” or graphics heavy modes 
    Graphics Card (GPU) Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 or greater  For optimal performance, GeForce RTX 3070 Ti / 3080 / 3090 or similar 
    Other requirements Ethernet port (for wired connection) or USB / WiFi for data link  Solid network, low latency, good power supply for GPU etc.
    EXTRA OPTIONS

    Projector

    Transform your simulator with a stunning, high-definition image projected directly onto your impact screen. A projector takes your setup beyond practice into a truly immersive golf experience—whether you’re dialing in swings on the range or playing a full round on a championship course.

    Projector Options:

    • Eiki 308U (Good): Dependable brightness and clear visuals, perfect for consistent play in a variety of lighting conditions.

    • BenQ AK700ST (Better): Short-throw design delivers sharp detail and vibrant color, making it ideal for smaller or tighter simulator spaces.

    • BenQ LK936ST (Best): A premium 4K short-throw projector that produces breathtaking, lifelike images for the most realistic golf simulator experience.
