Background Art

[0002] The sport of golf is not restricted by gender and age. With the improvement of living standards and the emphasis on outdoor leisure life, more and more people are exposed to this sport. In order to improve their skills, many enthusiasts often go to the golf driving range to practice swinging. Although there is a coach guiding them during the practice, the effect is not as expected. Therefore, some manufacturers have developed a radar tracking system that can be used to obtain the launch conditions and flight data of the ball to help golfers improve their hitting performance.

[0003] In order to enable a golf ball to be captured by a radar system, the currently common method is to directly attach a radar reflection patch to the outer surface of the ball.
