OK, SO LIKE, WHAT IS THE BIG HYPER OVER THIS?

Yahoo: 5 hot PC gaming accessories
The Golf Launchpad Tour is a USB-based accessory that plugs into your Windows or Mac computer (or PlayStation 3 console) and lets you use your real golf clubs to drive, chip and putt a tethered Surlyn golf ball; eight sensors read and process the impact in real-time – such as clubhead speed, path, angle, and so on – and the result is seen onscreen inside the golf video game, such as Tigers Woods PGA Tour 08 (included). Needless-to-say, a real swing, followed by a thwack, is a lot more gratifying than using a mouse or gamepad. [Jan 15, 2009]

OK SO WHAT IS IT?

Golf Launchpad Tour is a home golf simulator that allows the users to golf with their own clubs. Golf Launchpad Tour features a tethered regulation golf ball and optical signal processing technology for unmatched realism. Compatible with Windows, PlayStation3 and Mac OSX.
Golf Launchpad Tour is truly plug-and-play. Simple connect Launchpad into your PC, Mac or PlayStation3's USB port, start TIGER WOODS or LPDR-TOUR and you're ready to play or practice!
Golf Launchpad Tour is the only golf simulator that gives you the real deal — authentic feel, sound and performance from driving to putting with your own clubs — without big simulator cost and mega-space requirements!

OK SIMPLE, I think.

WELL HOW DOES IT WORK?

Golf Launchpad's tethered ball has been designed to reproduce the impact-physics of a free ball to perfection. Utilizing a flexible tether (which permits the ball to spin) and a precisely calibrated pivot, Golf Launchpad's ball is designed to impart the same forces to the club as a free ball. This means that you feel and hear the thwack of your irons and the ping of your woods just as you would on the fairway. We call this TruFeel™ and it is the subject of several patent applications. Optical sensors embedded deep under the turf track your club over the sensor grid during the critical moment of impact, measuring vast quantities of data off your club, such as angle, velocity, acceleration and path. Electric~Spin's state-of-the-art digital signal processing technology embedded in Golf Launchpad converts the mountains of raw data into pinpoint accuracy.

OK, I AM NOT THAT ADVANCED FOR ALL THE MUMBO JUMBO
