CTS Test Images

without using tracking dots or white strips

from May 17 2017

The purpose of these tests is to test the CTS image processing's ability to detect accurate club face angle

without having to apply tracking dots or white strip aids to the clubs.

These tests do not include club path and speed data so please ignore these figures in the images

The current version of the CTS image processing software does not always guarantee accurate club face detection on all clubs without using tracking dots or strips

but - when using the new trigger mat with flash activation - there is a significant improvement.

The reason for this is that the flash units in the CTS are nearly always fully charged and thus emit a more constant light with every swing.

Without flash activation, the player's club waggle would cause multiple flash fires

which would deplete the flash unit's charge capacitors that require a 4 second re-charge time.

Taking a swing during the re-charge time will result in lower and inconsistent light intensities.
