At the heart of any effort to accurately replicate the game of golf indoors must lie intricate technology and focused technologists with a thirst for continual improvement. AboutGolf's simulator is the collaboration of two seminal golf technology companies who are re-writing the standards for indoor golf on a daily basis.

Ground Breaking Technology - AboutGolf's Sim Sensor

Our ball and club tracking sensor is produced through an exclusive partnership with EDH, Ltd. of South Africa. EDH's scientists have been working to perfect EDH Tracking technology for over fifteen years, working specifically on golf for the last five years. The partnership with About Golf has resulted in the world's most advanced, reliable and realistic sensor systems.

The final product is derived from very stable and reliable military ballistic technology designed by EDH to track artillery fire for over thirty miles with a margin of error of less than .01%. EDH technologies will be utilised by Wimbeldon this year for line call accuracy.

AboutGolf's Sim Sensor applies patented 3D phased-array microwave technology that operates at 7,000 cycles per second, providing an amazingly accurate view of the flying ball and club head for their entire flight. The Sim Sensor, once properly calibrated, needs little or no ongoing adjustment. Performance updates to the Sim Sensor can be delivered via email, and automatically load when the system is started up.

The solid-state Sim Sensor is about the size of a large book, sits behind the screen, and provides 100% of all ball and club data which is then delivered almost instantaneously to our golf software, which then provides the exact results of the shot, be that a chip, drive or putt. The technology also provides instant feedback on ball flight, e,g hook or slice.
