What Is the Best Lighting to Use With a Doppler Launch Monitor?

Recommended Lighting Setup

Although lighting does not affect radar tracking, we recommend:

• Even, consistent lighting in the hitting area

• Enough light to clearly see the ball, club, and target line

• Lighting positioned above or behind the player, not directly in front

This helps with alignment, confidence, and safe indoor use.

Indoor Use Tips

For indoor practice:

• Avoid strong directional lights that cast harsh shadows

• Do not place lights directly in front of the launch monitor

• Ensure lighting does not reflect off metal nets, frames, or walls

Outdoor Use

The launch monitor will usually function normally in:

• Bright sunlight

• Cloudy conditions

• Dusk or low-light environments

What to Avoid

• Flickering or unstable lighting

• Lights placed directly between the ball and the launch monitor

• Strong reflections from metallic objects near the hitting area
