Trackman 4 Technology
Our professionals utilise the latest in technology with the Trackman 4 launch monitor. This is available for every lesson in the performance studio, in the practice area and putting green for the most accurate coaching analysis. Trackman provides the facts of what the individual’s clubhead is doing thru impact. Relating these facts to how the individual ‘feels’ his or her swing enhances and accelerates the learning experience. Trackman’s data on ball flight also allows the individual to gain a greater understanding of their ball flight and how swing changes affect parameters such as spin rate and launch angles.
Trackman also benefits from its new putting analysis feature. Players can benefit during a putting lesson by seeing exactly how the ball is rolling, the direction in which the putter face and putter are travelling and if an optimal roll has been achieved for the most accurate analysis.
Trackman has a wide range of uses which benefit every level of player, from beginner to experienced professional and can be used for every lesson at no additional cost.
