Golf Ball Trajectory Studies

At Coastal Netting Systems, we partner with Tanner Consulting Group, the industry’s most trusted authority in golf ball trajectory studies. Their in-depth research and expertise ensure that every netting system we design is built for maximum efficiency. It protects what matters most without obstructing the beauty or playability of your course.

Beyond identifying risk areas, a completed golf ball trajectory study provides critical direction for the engineering of your netting project. It determines how high your netting system should be to effectively contain errant shots while avoiding unnecessary material costs.

• Enhanced Safety
  A precise golf ball trajectory study predicts where errant shots are likely to land, allowing you to design a netting system that prevents injuries and property damage.
• Improved Design Precision
  Every golf ball flight trajectory is unique. With professional analysis, your netting system will be engineered to capture stray shots efficiently—without being overbuilt or underbuilt.
• Determining Proper Net Height & Placement
  Golf shot trajectory analysis ensures your golf course netting is built to the correct height, maximizing coverage while minimizing unnecessary costs. If netting exceeds 50 feet, structural engineering is necessary to maintain compliance with local safety regulations, structural integrity and long-term durability.
• Cost Efficiency
  Strategic net placement means you only install netting where it’s truly needed, reducing material and installation costs while maintaining top-tier safety standards.
• Better Player & Spectator Experience
  Thoughtfully designed golf trajectory netting ensures clear sightlines and an uninterrupted playing experience while still offering maximum protection.

Golfers of all skill levels contribute to errant shots—but the likelihood varies based on ability. Here’s what the numbers show:

• Scratch golfers hit 81% of fairways and 12 greens in regulation per round.
• An 85-average golfer hits 46% of fairways and only 5 greens in regulation.
• A 100-average golfer struggles with accuracy, hitting just 11% of fairways and 0 greens in regulation.

With such variability, it’s crucial to account for every possible ball trajectory when designing a netting system. Golf ball trajectory studies help ensure your course or range is prepared for every type of golfer, from beginners to professionals.

Coastal Netting Systems exclusively partners with Tanner Consulting Group, the leader in golf ball trajectory studies and sports field design. Their expertise ensures that your golf ball trajectory analysis is accurate, comprehensive, and backed by real-world data.

When safety and liability are at stake, you need expertise you can trust. Tanner Consulting Group’s in-depth analysis has been used in legal cases, course designs, and protective netting installations across North America.

When you invest in a golf ball trajectory study, you gain access to industry-leading research that helps you make informed decisions about your netting system.

Step 1: Consultation & Course Assessment
Our team works with Tanner Consulting Group to assess your golf course or driving range layout, identifying potential risk areas where errant shots could pose a hazard.

Step 2: Ball Flight Data Analysis
Using advanced modeling, we analyze the golf ball flight trajectory for different clubs, golfer skill levels, and environmental factors such as wind speed and elevation changes.

Step 3: Netting System Recommendations
With precise golf trajectory analysis, we determine the optimal height and placement of your netting. This ensures effective containment of errant shots while avoiding overbuilt systems that add unnecessary costs. 

Step 4: Engineering & Installation
For netting over 50 feet, our licensed engineers design structural support systems that meet safety regulations and ensure long-term stability. Once the engineering phase is complete, Coastal Netting Systems coordinates the installation of a custom-engineered netting system that blends seamlessly into your golf course while providing unmatched safety.

Don’t rely on guesswork when it comes to safety. A professional golf ball flight trajectory analysis helps you design a smarter, more effective netting system—saving money, reducing liability, and enhancing the overall experience for golfers.
