Winter often pushes golfers to their limits: cold, rain or snow prevent them from playing on the course and make outdoor training uncomfortable. Indoor golf simulators offer a practical alternative to improve your game even in the cold season. Precise analyses thanks to modern technology Golf simulators such as those from Full Swing use highly developed sensors and cameras to record the swing and ball flight. This data is essential for understanding your swing and improving your performance: - Ball speed, club head speed and smash factor: provides essential information on impact efficiency. - Launch angle: Allows you to control and optimise the ideal launch angle. - Spin rate: Shows how the spin influences the ball flight. - Club path: Analyses whether the swing is executed straight, from the inside or from the outside. - Clubface position: Measures the exact alignment of the clubface at the moment of impact. In addition, high-resolution video cameras record the club head and the moment of impact in impressive detail. These recordings show precisely how the club hits the ball and provide valuable insights into the effects of contact on the ball flight.

Why winter training in a simulator makes sense Training in a simulator offers several advantages, especially in winter: - Year-round practice: golfers can continuously improve their game without having to take long breaks. - Weather-independent: Unpleasant conditions such as rain or snow do not play a role. - Data-based corrections: The recorded measurement values can be used to recognise and tackle specific weak points. - Virtual golf courses: Players have the opportunity to realistically replay world-famous golf courses. - Precise swing analysis: Camera perspectives from different angles enable detailed analyses. Structured training programme Effective winter training in the simulator can be structured as follows: 1. warm-up: Easy turns to activate the muscles. 2. technique analysis: work on weaknesses with the help of video recordings and measurement data. 3. game simulation: play virtual rounds to practise situations such as pressure shots. 4. short game exercises: Focus on approach shots and putting. 5. monitoring success: progress can be tracked using saved data.

Video analysis: Understanding the swing from different perspectives Many modern golf simulators combine data acquisition with video technology. This allows swings to be analysed from different angles in order to identify postural errors or incorrect movement sequences, for example. Comparing training recordings makes it easier to visualise improvements. Flexible alternative: mobile launch monitors For golfers who do not have access to a large indoor simulator, mobile launch monitors such as the Full Swing KIT offer a practical solution. With a net to catch the balls and a corresponding app, you can practise almost anywhere - be it in the garage or in the living area. If you would like to see the technology of the golf simulators for yourself, you will also have the opportunity to do so at FESPO 2025. You can put the high-end simulators through their paces at stand G.003 - have fun!
