The RadarGolf System

The RadarGolf System, named the Best Golf Product of 2005 by Business Week and featured in every golf magazine you can imagine over the past 6 months, uses Ball Positioning System (BPS) technology to save you strokes, time, and frustration. And since we all know time is money, and if you're playing with buddies, strokes are money -- this gadget will pay for itself in a couple of rounds.

BPS technology uses advanced electronics to enable the handheld to transmit a specific radio frequency (RF) signal. When this signal reaches a RadarGolfBall, the ball returns a separate specific RF signal. The handheld receiver is tuned to "listen" for the signal from the ball. An LCD provides visual feedback and an audio tone allows you to hone in on your lost ball. You will receive stronger feedback as you get closer to your ball.

The handheld will locate all RadarGolfballs (in your pocket, golf bag or golf cart for example). It is critical that you keep all RadarGolf balls shielded from detection. Place all spare balls in the Shield-It pouches. The pouches are made with a special metallic fabric that blocks radio frequency signals and allows you to find only your "ball in play" when searching. Use the large pouch in your golf bag to store a dozen balls and the small pouch in your pocket for one ball.

The ball is USGA conforming and meets all USGA specifications for size, weight, distance, initial velocity and symmetry. It has been thoroughly tested for durability and performance parameters including carry, distance, roll and dispersion accuracy. The embedded microchip is so small that it does not affect the performance of the ball in any way. The chip has no power source and will last as long as the ball. The RadarGolf Handheld has detection range of 30-100 feet, depending on the terrain. It uses state-of-the-art radio frequency technology to help you find lost balls and lower your score.

Provided with a protective case, the handheld can be clipped to the outside of your golf bag or stowed inside the bag or golf cart.

When you start-up the handheld it will remain on for 5 minutes (unless you turn it off). Five minutes is the maximum time allowed to search for a lost golf ball per the USGA Rules of Golf.

The handheld provides both a pulsed audio tone and an LCD signal strength display to provide you with feedback on ball direction and distance. The volume is adjustable and searches can be conducted in mute mode as well. The handheld is designed for outdoor use so it is rugged and water resistant.
