Trackman has revolutionised the way golfers and coaches analyse performance, offering precise, real-time data about ball flight, club movement, and other key metrics

Whether for Elite PGA Professionals or Club Golfers, TrackMan provides critical insights that can help them improve their games.

Here are some of the key benefits of using TrackMan for PGA Professional Golf Coaches

Comprehensive Data on Ball Flight & Launch Conditions

• Launch Angle
  TrackMan measures the launch angle of the ball, which is crucial for optimising distance and trajectory. The correct launch angle helps achieve maximum carry and roll, particularly with drivers and long irons.
• Ball Speed
  One of the most important metrics for distance, ball speed directly correlates with the energy transferred from the club to the ball. TrackMan measures this with high precision.
• Spin Rate
  Both backspin and side spin are critical to ball flight. TrackMan provides detailed data on how spin affects trajectory, control, and shot shape. Lower spin rates often lead to more distance with the driver, while higher spin can help with control on irons and wedges.
• Carry Distance
  TrackMan accurately calculates how far the ball travels in the air before hitting the ground, helping players optimise their distance control with different clubs.
• Total Distance
  The combination of carry and roll, which gives a complete picture of how far a shot goes in real-world conditions (like different course surfaces).
• Smash Factor
  This is the ratio of ball speed to clubhead speed. TrackMan gives immediate feedback on how efficiently you are transferring energy to the ball, helping golfers optimise their swing for maximum distance.

Clubhead Data

• Clubhead Speed
  TrackMan measures how fast the clubhead is moving when it makes contact with the ball. Higher clubhead speed typically results in more ball speed and more distance.
• Face Angle
  Understanding whether the clubface is square, open, or closed at impact is essential for controlling shot direction. TrackMan provides detailed data on face angle at impact.
• Path & Swing Plane
  TrackMan analyses the swing path (in-to-out, out-to-in, or straight) and helps golfers understand how their path impacts ball flight. This is particularly useful for correcting slice, hook, or other swing path-related issues.
• Attack Angle
  This metric shows the angle at which the clubhead approaches the ball (upward, downward, or level). It directly affects launch angle and spin, helping golfers optimise their ball-striking techniques, especially with drivers and irons.

Accurate Distance Tracking

• Exact DistancesTrackMan’s radar technology tracks the ball’s flight from the moment it leaves the clubface, providing accurate distance metrics, including carry, roll, and total distance. This is essential for golfers who want to know their exact distances with each club and improve their distance control.
• Eliminate GuessworkBy providing consistent, accurate data across a variety of environments, TrackMan helps golfers eliminate guesswork and fine-tune club distances with precision.

Improved Shot Shaping & Control

• Shot Dispersion
  TrackMan gives data on shot dispersion (the spread of shots hit with the same club), which allows golfers to understand their consistency and how various swing changes impact their accuracy.
• Trajectory Optimisation
  With data on launch angle, spin, and ball speed, TrackMan helps golfers adjust their swing or club selection to optimize their trajectory for different situations (e.g., a higher trajectory for a softer landing, or a lower trajectory for more roll).

Swing Optimisation

TrackMan not only provides ball data but also helps golfers optimize their swing mechanics by correlating ball flight data with club data.
For example, if a player consistently has a high spin rate and low ball speed, it may indicate the need for a swing change or adjustments in equipment (like shaft selection).

Coaches can use TrackMan to identify swing flaws or inefficiencies, such as poor attack angle or club path, and offer corrective drills to address those issues./

Comprehensive Data for Custom Fitting

• Club Fitting
  TrackMan is often used for custom club fitting, as it provides crucial data on how different clubs perform for a specific golfer. This includes factors like clubhead speed, launch angle, spin rate, and ball speed.
• Equipment Recommendations
  By analysing the way a player interacts with different clubs (e.g., driver, irons, wedges), TrackMan helps fitter professionals recommend optimal club specs (e.g., shaft length, flex, loft) to improve the golfer’s performance.

Simulated Course & Virtual Golf

TrackMan allows users to play virtual golf on simulated courses. This feature is particularly useful in indoor settings, where you can “play” real courses or practice specific shots in a simulated environment.

Virtual golf modes can be used for recreational play, competitive challenges, or practicing specific scenarios (e.g., a challenging par 3 or an approach shot over water).

Real-Time Performance Tracking

• Instant Feedback
  TrackMan offers real-time data, enabling immediate adjustments to be made in the swing, ball-striking, or equipment. Whether you’re on the range or in a fitting session, TrackMan’s instant feedback is invaluable for refining technique and improving performance.
• Progress Monitoring
  With TrackMan, golfers can track their performance over time, comparing current stats to previous sessions to monitor improvements or identify areas for further development.

Use of Data for Course Management

TrackMan can assist with course management by showing how a golfer’s equipment and ball flight will behave in different course conditions.
For example, TrackMan data can be used to determine optimal club selection for particular hole layouts (taking into account factors like wind, elevation, and distance).

It also allows players to fine-tune their strategy based on their ability to hit certain distances or shapes (e.g., knowing the exact carry distance with a hybrid or 3-iron off the tee).

Performance Evaluation for Coaches and Players

• Data-Driven Coaching
  TrackMan provides coaches with precise metrics that can be used to evaluate a player’s strengths and weaknesses.
  Coaches can use this information to guide players through tailored drills and strategies designed to improve specific aspects of their game.
• Skill Development
  TrackMan helps coaches identify specific areas of a player’s game that need work.
  For example, if a player struggles with hitting the fairway off the tee, TrackMan data can help identify swing path or launch conditions that need to be addressed.

Indoor & Outdoor Use

• Indoor Simulations
  TrackMan can be used in indoor facilities, offering the same accurate data indoors as it does outdoors. This is perfect for golfers who want to practice year-round, regardless of weather conditions.
• Outdoor Ranges
  TrackMan is widely used at outdoor ranges where it tracks ball flight and provides accurate data even in challenging conditions, including wind or rain.

Remote Coaching & Virtual Instruction

Many coaches use TrackMan’s data-sharing features to analyse a player’s performance remotely. Players can send their TrackMan data to their coach, who can provide feedback based on the analysis, even if they’re not on-site.

This is particularly useful for professional players or those who live in different locations from their coaches.
