AboutGolf's seventeen-year history has been entirely devoted to golf technology. We have fifteen software developers working full time on the continual advancement of our simulation software. Our code base for golf simulation is the most advanced in the industry.
  Our ball tracking sensor technology applies advanced applications of phased array microwave ballistic tracking technology. Our technology partner EDH has over 30 dedicated scientists making continual breakthroughs in this field. The Flightscope Sim Sensor, exclusively used in the AboutGolf Simulator, is unparalleled with respect to indoor golf ball launch detection and club analysis.

AboutGolf formally commenced deployment of its simulators in August, 2003, and expects to be the world #1 simulator provider by the end of 2005. Through a fortuitous combining of Friendly Software's golf simulation software technology with EDH's ballistic golf ball and golf club tracking technology, AboutGolf has sent shockwaves through the indoor golf simulator industry with the introduction and continual advancement of its radically advanced simulator product.

AboutGolf is 100% committed to significant ongoing investment in research and development to continually advance its simulator technology and widen its industry lead. We consider our product to represent not only the present state of the art, but also the future of indoor golf.

Our software development team has a definitive focused plan for future improvements in all facets of the product, including graphics, physics, game improvement technology, unique entertainment features, and courses. Our ball tracking technology is powerful today, but the capabilities of this technology are just beginning to be fully exploited. Noteworthy improvements are occurring monthly. This will not stop.
 


  AboutGolf's proprietary software has the best graphics, physics, and overall functionality. Ours is the only product that provides fully 3D rendered environments, including all trees and objects (other products apply flat frame graphics that are far less realistic in performance). With Pebble Beach, Spyglass Hill, Teeth of the Dog, and a rapidly growing list of other great courses, we have by far the largest team of course developers that not only will ensure we soon will have the most courses in the industry, but the most meticulously replicated and most graphically stunning.
 

Our ball and club tracking system is solid state with no consumable parts, very easy to calibrate, and maintenance free. Once it's calibrated, if the installation is stable there is no future re-calibration. You should expect virtually no down time from the sensor or software. Starting with early beta units, our ball tracking sensors in the field have been in use 7 days per week in very rigorous environments for over two years. We've not had a failure.

Our sensor provides more accurate and more overall data, including ball speed, vertical launch angle, horizontal launch angle, sidespin, and back spin. It also directly measures the club, providing club head speed, horizontal strike angle, vertical strike angle, and club face angle.
 


 
Course play is at the most realistic level achieved in indoor golf, from normal full shots, to shanks and topped shots, to every type of chip or pitch, and for putting from 100+ footers down to tap-ins. At the range, our extensive shot analysis capabilities offer not only very accurate data, but also extremely consistent data. If you make a change to your swing that adds 3 yards, you'll get the feedback. If you change your swing to add or subtract back-spin, you'll see the result.
 

We offer an online event facility, WorldPlay. We've spent over 3 years perfecting and testing it with our PC users, with over 10 million competitive rounds logged to date. We offer a community web site that is being expanded regularly where users can enter events, collect virtual cash, and purchase prizes.

Just released, DataTrac enables users to track all their practice and club-fitting data for analysis via a personal web page. AdKit enables commercial owners to optimize advertising revenues.

Our mantra is "exquisite service at any cost". This includes 24/7 phone support and a team that will pay close attention to any needs you have. All maintenance upgrades are free, and easily installed. This includes easily installed firmware upgrades for our sensor, and continual advancements in the simulator software.

We respectfully submit that we feel that any buyer seriously intending to acquire a high-end indoor golf simulator should diligently assess the AboutGolf's Simulator.
