Bridgestone Unveils OTTO
thank you so much for responding. Awesome.
It's always awesome when someone from the OEM steps into a thread to answer questions on the fly.
500rpms is quite a bit inside your own brand from ball to ball
and thus why getting FIT FPR A BALL is soooooo important. Could be a massive increase or drop depending on what you decide is best for your game.
@rehbirdie.....don't be afraid to convince corporate to send an OTTO to Northern Ohio. Haha. Or more specifically, my house. I'll put up a net, it will be totallllllly legit.
I declare this, the summer of Korf!!!!!

look forward to it as the the RX is my ball of choice right now
I like the initiative here by Bridgestone, integrating tech to make more informed equipment choices. I’d be willing to bet the challenges in integrating approach and wedge shots into the tool are more based on the tech chosen. That radar unit is so dependant on proper set-up. I bet FS had to recalibrate a few things to allow the unit to be above the ground as show in that pic, which may work ok w/ driver (teed up ball) but could be difficult with other clubs.
This sounds awesome! Thanks for the reply on how you've approached fitting through driver in the past. I am a fan of V-Fit and the big data approach you have behind this. It's cool to see it get better and better.
Imagine what you could do as an OEM, when you have from R&D an exact characterization of the performance differences in ball models. Then imagine you have a database of golfer data from live and video ball fittings going back 6+ years (I'm sure longer than that).
Combine and you have a ball fitting product that based on real R&D lab PLUS field experience, can measure your launch conditions and recommend needed adjustments for more optimal flight. This is powerful stuff.

Not our first rodeo with launch monitorsHopefully you're not using indoors...Mevo+ is not the best with a short flight environment
What concerns you about this? If outdoors, Mevo+ can track the ball well (enough).
@JB
What was the limitation of the cell phone camera and golf ball box video fitting? Why is this now better?

The direction is what concerns me, it’s cool, and a bit gimmicky, but I think the message could be much better and more clear than relying on this.
And I’ll not comment on Mevo+

For starters, at the consumer level, the work necessary for it to happen. You had to put a dozen balls down, have a friend film you, then still submit the video and wait for results. Those are a lot of steps in the current society of impulse.
And I’ll not comment on Mevo+
It's not THAT bad...

While I think it works fine, for this usage, at the consumer level it is a giant ******* turd based on the dollars they are charging and the support that is given.
I've had experience with it and sadly agree that it isn't the best...which is why I've moved on to another LM... Foresight all the way now
