Fact #1. Radar. High Speed Camera. Complicated algorithms. All marvels of modern technology, the pinnacles of millennia of human tool development, and we use them to improve our golf swings. All of that state-of-the-art tech is used in a golf launch monitor.
Fact #2. Some monitors use Doppler technology, like the kind your local weatherman uses, to analyze the full flight of your ball after you hit it. They then use the flight information of the ball to extrapolate how you struck it, exposing any flaw in your mechanics. This technology evolved from the kind the military uses to track missiles.
Fact #3. Other models use high speed cameras that inspect the first couple feet of the ball's trajectory. They take numerous pictures during this time. This allows the monitor to record things like ball velocity, club angle, spin rates, and more. This gives them all the info they need to tell what the full flight of the ball would be, and where you'd end up on the course.
Fact #4. The first way a monitor can help you occurs long before you ever set foot on a course. You can use one when you're getting fitted for clubs to ensure that your sticks are matched to your swing. This gives you an immediate leg up on the competition. It allows your club head to square up on the ball nearly every time without requiring swing correction.
Fact #5. One of the most important data points to consider is launch speed. Simply put, the harder you hit the ball, the further it's likely to go, provided you don't hit a tree or a water hazard. If you're not getting much distance on your drives, it may be due to an inability to generate speed off the tee. This gives you something to work on.
