Abstract: A novel integrated golf ball launch monitor for measuring flight path parameters for a golf ball is disclosed. This integrated launch monitor includes a housing that includes a sensor, a user output device, and a processor. The processor performs the steps of monitoring a trigger zone, determining that the golf ball has launched from the trigger zone, capturing position information for the golf ball with the sensor, calculating the flight parameters using the position information, and outputting the flight parameters on the user output device. A display and/or a speaker may be added to the monitor as a means of outputting the flight parameters from the processor to a user of the monitor. The integrated launch monitor may be sized and constructed to be portable and may also include a battery (which may be rechargeable).
