RadarGolf System locates lost golf balls

The RadarGolf System uses BPS (Ball Positioning System) technology to help locate lost golf balls, which can save time and money.
The system is made up of 3 parts; a handheld, specialized RadarGolf balls and a Shield-It pouch.
The handheld transmits a targeted radio frequency that works in conjunction with the balls. When the ball in play detects the signal, it sends out a return signal to the handheld (which is already tuned in to “listen” for any signals coming from that ball).
Should you lose the ball, the handheld’s LCD’s signal strength indicators and a pulsed audio tone provide feedback on the lost ball’s distance and direction. As you get closer to your ball, the signal gets stronger.
You just have to be careful because the handheld can detect all RadarGolfballs, whether they’re in your golf bag, cart, pocket or otherwise. So it’s important to keep all non-play balls in the Shield-It pouch, which is designed with a special metallic fabric that blocks radio frequency signals. This ensures the handheld focuses only on the game ball.
You might wonder what effect all this technology has on the performance of the ball, but the embedded microchip is so small and has no power source, so makers claim it doesn’t affect your game in any way.
Balls are USGA conforming and meet all the guidelines for size, weight, distance, symmetry and initial velocity. Balls are also tested for durability and performance factors such as distance, carry, roll, and dispersion accuracy.
