The other day I was looking at golf videos and they had a device that tracked the flight path of the golf ball. Has anyone tried one of those on a paintball? If not why and would it work? I can see a couple issues the size of the ball might cause an issue. You might need to have the ball in the site of the tracker to begin the tracking and you might also be only able to track 1 at a time so 1 bps, heck the tracker might have a chip in the golf ball think topgolf. If anyone has used one of those on paintballs I am curious if there is anything on the market that really does help with making the ball fly straighter further etc. I know that you have back spin (Apex, flatline, etc(looking at you alien)) you have underboring, overboring, porting, rifling, and many others. You also have paint that seems to be the biggest issue with testing / proving that the path. If you have used seem one used or anything similar let me know.

FoxTrac, or something like that, was the system Fox used when they covered NHL games years ago. Those pucks actually did have chips in them, and were pretty expensive because of this. That was the word at the time.
Golf trackers don’t use chips in the balls as far as I know and can track for a lot longer than paintball would need. So maybe it could work, but how to do that is not something I know anything about. -
What's the end goal though? Like what are you looking to find out that you can't get by doing typical accuracy testing?
Might be a fun tool for someone like the nxl to use for live broadcast so you could put lines on the screen to show what lanes each player is shooting

Seeing lines drawn on screen of lanes and shots would be great. I have no idea how that golf ball tracking tech works though.Comment
