Ernest Sports: ESB1 Personal Launch Monitor

Description:

The Ernest Sports ESB1 is a personal launch monitor designed for golfers seeking accuracy, ease of use, and extended battery life. Utilizing 3D Doppler Radar Technology, it measures six critical data points: ball speed, club speed, distance (total and carry), smash factor, spin rate, and launch angle.

Key Features:

The Device features an integrated visual display, allowing use with or without a paired device, and boasts a lithium battery that provides up to 20 hours of continuous operation. It pairs seamlessly with the free ES Range App, offering GPS Functionality, cloud storage, video analysis, and more. In terms of performance, the ESB1 delivers commendable accuracy. According to Plugged in Golf, both indoor and outdoor tests showed that the device consistently captured shots within its operational range, which is optimal when placed 4 to 6 feet behind the ball. While ball speed measurements were generally precise, club speed readings were accurate with shorter clubs but occasionally slightly lower with longer ones, leading to marginally inflated smash factor readings. Launch angle and spin rate measurements were variable, though discrepancies were typically evident.
