Unique Features of the APOGEE
“Hey APOGEE” Voice Command
One of the most innovative features of the APOGEE is the “Hey APOGEE!” voice command. This allows users to navigate gameplay and adjust settings inside the E6 CONNECT software with ease. With this feature, you can spend less time on the computer and more time focusing on perfecting your practice swings.
For example, you can ask APOGEE to help you read a putt, show you the trouble around that sharp dog-leg, change the weather to something a bit more dramatic for the tie-breaker, or tee up a breakfast ball… again.
Point of Impact (POI)
The Point of Impact (POI) interface is one of the most innovative features of the APOGEE launch monitor. This feature provides a slow-motion, scrubbable, video playback of your club’s action through the ball. This allows golfers to see exactly where and how their club is making contact with the ball, providing valuable insights into their swing and helping them make adjustments for improved performance.
Laser Ball Strike Area
APOGEE is sold with the APOGEE Laser Indicator to show players where to place the ball. The APOGEE Laser Indicator disappears as soon as the ball is at rest in a valid hitting location. This visual confirmation minimizes frustrating do-overs and uncaptured shots.
Data Tracking and Measurement
The APOGEE uses a proprietary ultra-high-speed stereoscopic camera system and the all-new INSTANT IMPACT image analysis algorithm to gather shot data. The INSTANT IMPACT program measures information from both the club and ball, and simulates on-screen shots with no lag or delay.
With the APOGEE, you can measure the following data points for each shot:
- Ball Speed
- Back Spin
- Side Spin
- Vertical Launch Angle
- Horizontal Launch Direction
- Club Head Speed
- Club Face Angle
- Club Path
