The flight time and linear flight distance are used to simulate a roll distance which may be added to the linear distance to thereby produce the simulated golf shot total distance.

Why it's free to use
- Filed April 29, 1993. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended April 29, 2013.

- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
