Trackman recognized a need for true spin data capture in indoor settings. RCT now enables radar-based launch monitors to capture golf ball spin rates just as well in an indoor environment as they do outdoors.https://www.titleist.com.my/teamtitleist/team-titleist/m/2021_rct_pro_v1_launch/124826Mon, 25 Oct 2021 16:04:01 GMT9ab519fc-5311-4952-85cd-0a0ceffb73fb:ffba91d8-4f9f-4e0d-967d-0aa7914a2000Rick V., Team Titleist Staff0Before RCT, the reason indoor data capture had been such a challenge is that indoors, the ball only travels a very short distance before the ball is stopped by a net or simulator screen. Sometimes the ball only makes a revolution or two before reaching the net – a very short window if you're trying to capture spin rate. https://www.titleist.com.my/teamtitleist/team-titleist/m/2021_rct_pro_v1_launch/124825Mon, 25 Oct 2021 16:04:00 GMT9ab519fc-5311-4952-85cd-0a0ceffb73fb:cb7a503a-cc6b-4803-8101-4fd2fc7fdcd2Rick V., Team Titleist Staff0Without RCT, it is necessary to apply a small reflective sticker to the golf ball in order to accurately record spin data indoors. However, this requires the ball to be oriented in a precise way and capturing data is still challenging.https://www.titleist.com.my/teamtitleist/team-titleist/m/2021_rct_pro_v1_launch/124824Mon, 25 Oct 2021 16:03:59 GMT9ab519fc-5311-4952-85cd-0a0ceffb73fb:0d0d3f82-eb7c-4079-b6a8-b84964144556Rick V., Team Titleist Staff0Titleist scientists and engineers experimented with a variety of reflective materials, applications and patterns before optimizing data capture with the pattern seen here on this Pro V1 core. https://www.titleist.com.my/teamtitleist/team-titleist/m/2021_rct_pro_v1_launch/124823Mon, 25 Oct 2021 16:03:58 GMT9ab519fc-5311-4952-85cd-0a0ceffb73fb:442feb77-e385-41e7-866e-4fc11a8d6e8dRick V., Team Titleist Staff0Also used on Pro V1x RCT, the "stem" on this pointed ellipse pattern inspired the R&D team to name it the "Leaf" design. (A previous version, without the stem was nicknamed "Pac Man").https://www.titleist.com.my/teamtitleist/team-titleist/m/2021_rct_pro_v1_launch/124822Mon, 25 Oct 2021 16:03:57 GMT9ab519fc-5311-4952-85cd-0a0ceffb73fb:80acd38c-4584-4b00-821a-a94f51b78daaRick V., Team Titleist Staff0Titleist R&D validated RCT technology by testing with robot hitters set to very high swing speeds to exaggerate this short window for spin capture. For all testing, the catch net was set at a distance of ten feet from the tee.https://www.titleist.com.my/teamtitleist/team-titleist/m/2021_rct_pro_v1_launch/124821Mon, 25 Oct 2021 16:03:55 GMT9ab519fc-5311-4952-85cd-0a0ceffb73fb:485196e4-fd3d-45b4-942c-9fc85ae02b80Rick V., Team Titleist Staff0In normal indoor settings, or when Trackman can't pick up spin in an outdoor setting, spin rate is estimated. In these instances, spin rate is displayed using an italicized font. With RCT, spin rate is captured on over 99% of strikes, as evidenced by the standard font displayed under SPIN RATE here.https://www.titleist.com.my/teamtitleist/team-titleist/m/2021_rct_pro_v1_launch/124820Mon, 25 Oct 2021 16:03:54 GMT9ab519fc-5311-4952-85cd-0a0ceffb73fb:fb75efe9-5470-4ce4-beb8-c4860abb126dRick V., Team Titleist Staff0Beginning November 3, 2021 RCT technology will be available in Pro V1... https://www.titleist.com.my/teamtitleist/team-titleist/m/2021_rct_pro_v1_launch/124819Mon, 25 Oct 2021 16:03:53 GMT9ab519fc-5311-4952-85cd-0a0ceffb73fb:a461b128-a38e-4e17-bd9e-85909e20f254Rick V., Team Titleist Staff0... as well as Pro V1x.https://www.titleist.com.my/teamtitleist/team-titleist/m/2021_rct_pro_v1_launch/124818Mon, 25 Oct 2021 16:03:51 GMT9ab519fc-5311-4952-85cd-0a0ceffb73fb:0ea9eaaf-02df-4486-87ea-7115b49e1450Rick V., Team Titleist Staff0RCT will greatly improve the flight data recorded by launch monitors in indoor settings. The more accurate the data, the more useful it will be to you – whether you're taking lessons, playing in an indoor league or getting fit for new equipment.
