Radar Capture Technology
This is the story of how we went searching for spin and ultimately developed a new golf ball innovation designed to enhance the data capture of launch conditions in an indoor environment and deliver the most accurate information possible.
In its continuing pursuit to help golfers play their best, Titleist introduces Radar Capture Technology (RCT).
Developed by Titleist Golf Ball R&D engineers, Titleist golf balls with Radar Capture Technology (RCT) are designed to enhance the data capture of launch conditions in an indoor environment and deliver the most accurate information possible.
The following launch monitor devices have been validated with RCT in an indoor environment*:
TrackMan 4
Garmin Approach R10
Full Swing KIT
FlightScope X3
FlightScope Mevo+
Rapsodo MLM
*Note: Devices must have current, up-to-date software/firmware installed for accurate spin data.
Titleist RCT (Radar Capture Technology) golf balls feature embedded radar reflective technology, developed over the past three years by Titleist Golf Ball R&D engineers.
"The RCT golf balls include the same design, materials, quality manufacturing, and most importantly the identical performance as every non-RCT model, with enhanced indoor radar signal capture" - Jeremy Stone, Vice President, Titleist Golf Ball Marketing.
The internal radar reflective marker in our RCT golf balls delivers an optimized signal capture, delivering true spin versus estimates in current indoor settings.
The embedded radar reflective technology does not require applying reflective spin markers or precise orientation in order to capture precise data from an indoor simulator environment.
Measuring launch, speed and spin at impact improves the output of data generated by launch monitor devices - including the data related to calculated distance (carry, roll, total) and trajectory (peak height, angle of decent). Measured performance enables better fitting opportunities for both club and golf ball.
RCT golf balls improve the launch monitor device experience for dedicated indoor fitting specialists committed to a premium, precision fitting; coaches and instructors aiming to give their players even better tools to work with; and Tour professionals and golfers seeking precision data capture from their indoor practice sessions.
The Titleist Pro V1 RCT golf ball connects the greatest combination of speed, spin, and feel in the game to your indoor, radar based launch monitor.
The Titleist Pro V1x RCT golf ball connects the high flight, high speed Pro V1x golf ball with enhanced spin into and around the green to your indoor, radar based launch monitor.
The Titleist Pro V1x Left Dash RCT golf ball connects the high flight, low spin customized performance of Pro V1x Left Dash to your indoor, radar based launch monitor.
