Company
Open Launch was born from the desire to revolutionize the golf simulator market. In 2016, Chad (OpLn ChadGolf) and Taylor crossed paths, both passionate about golf and frustrated with the existing launch monitors that were expensive, difficult to operate, and limited in their adaptability. They envisioned a new kind of launch system—one that was user-friendly, affordable, and built on a foundation of community-driven development.
By 2018, Wade joined forces with Chad and Taylor, and together, they founded Open Launch. Their mission was simple: to create a launch monitor that could grow and evolve with the community, offering open-source development and flexibility that was sorely missing in the market. As the golf simulator industry continues to be dominated by costly and complex systems, Open Launch stands out by empowering its users and allowing them to contribute directly to the product’s evolution.
In September 2023, Open Launch unveiled Nova at a major trade show in Chicago, IL. Designed with accessibility and adaptability in mind, Nova offers golfers a fresh approach to simulation, emphasizing flexibility and ease of use. With Nova, Open Launch is redefining what’s possible in golf simulators, bridging advanced technology with the creativity and passion of its community.
