Falcon - Recalibration

Falcon - Recalibration

Our Falcon launch monitor uses a series of sophisticated cameras to capture, track, and provide data for launch golf balls and golf clubs (if club mode is purchased).

This ceiling mounted device requires calibration by the user, and this device may require recalibration for several reasons which we will outline next...

Issue (one or more of the following):

  • Not locking, or occasionally is not locking

  • Not tracking the ball and providing launch data, or occasionally not tracking ball or launch data

  • Not tracking club data (fiducial or club marker stickers from FSS required)

  • Variance in data provided, in either club mode or ball mode

  • Has been removed from device mounting for storage or cleaning

  • Hitting area has undergone significant visual changes (IE... new hitting mat, turf, carpet, etc.)

  • *Has recently been repaired and returned from FSS via RMA
