GCHawk (GCH) - Recalibration

Our GCHawk (GCH) 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).

  • 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.)
