The Why
Following the industry leading success of GC2 and GCQuad, Foresight was motivated to work with DDSTUDIO to create a more versatile multi-sport simulator that would provide the same image capturing accuracy with more versatility. They needed to design a machine that would allow for a player’s maximum freedom and flexibility but still have accurate readings.
The Who
Foresight Sports is at the forefront of golf knowledge and launch monitor engineering technology. Their passion for the sport directly translates to the development of products only conceivable by actual golfers, marking the swinging nuance needed to improve the drive of anyone who wants to step on the course.
The How
Foresight Sports teamed up with our team to design their next generation professional-grade portable golf launch monitor system, the GCQuad™. To improve on a successful product, GC2, Foresight wanted to push the boundaries of innovation by designing a four camera system that captures the ball and the club at the point of impact delivering unprecedented ball and club performance data. Our team at DDSTUDIO embraced the opportunity to refine the previous design enclosure with integral features and functionality into an iconic product presence. The design needed to be compact and well protected while remaining ergonomic and easily portable. For a day out on the course with friends or coaching lessons, the product must provide instant results to efficiently fine-tune skills.
