TECH: GOLFZON Debuts Wave Simulator and Launch Monitor

Golfzon is best known for their super premium simulators, you know, the ones with the floors that tilt and pitch to simulate what it’s actually like to hit that shot off one of the more than 200 courses in its portfolio, including Pebble Beach or Bethpage Black’s Course. But now you don’t need to have Tiger Woods budget to enjoy the Golfzon experience in your home.

The Wave is poised to be the ultimate dual-purpose golf simulator experience and launch monitor, and is available now for purchase through Golfzon’s website.  Born from Golfzon’s industry-leading virtual golf innovation, Wave provides the best simulator experience in a launch monitor.

Retailing for $3,999, golfers have access to three 18-hole courses, a practice range, and a mobile skill app, out of the box. Tiered subscriptions are available to add over 140 courses, including world-famous venues like the Old Course at St. Andrews, Bethpage Black, Harbour Town Golf Links and many more.

Unlike competitors, who rely on third party software to provide simulations, Golfzon’s Wave runs off the company’s Vision Wave software (available now for PC, coming to Android, iOS later this year), which provides users fast, accurate and incredibly life-like experiences.

In a class by itself, Wave is the only portable simulator/launch monitor that offers a putting mat featuring Precision Infrared Technology to give users a true putting experience, even on the most delicate putts. Up to six players can use Wave at once, or network multiple Waves wirelessly to play with family and friends anywhere, anytime.

“Golfzon entered this category because we saw a great opportunity to take the simulator technology that we’ve perfected over the past twenty years and infuse it into an attainable package for all golfers,” says Tommy Lim, Golfzon America CEO. “Wave is designed to be the ultimate companion, whether golfers are looking to practice and grind on the driving range or enjoy hours of entertainment at home with friends and family.”

When it comes to launch monitor capabilities, the portable Wave can be used indoors or outdoors and tracks 34 ball and club data parameters, all displayed and stored on the user’s mobile device with the Wave Skills app (iOS and Android). Additionally, the unit allows users to capture swing videos for analysis or sharing with a coach.

Having hit some shots on the Wave just a few weeks ago, it is truly impressive how much horsepower something that’s comparable to an iPad in size can pack. The radar accurately picks up every shot, from driver to short chips with accuracy that doesn’t require metal dots or special golf balls. And when the data accuracy is combined with Golfzon’s simulator experience, the Wave stands to be “wash away” the competition and surf right to the top of the consumer launch monitors/simulator range (puns intended).
