How can TrackMan help your golf?

Introduction

If you’re looking to improve your golf game, you may want to consider taking a golf coaching session using TrackMan 4. TrackMan 4 is a launch monitor that uses Doppler radar to track the flight of a golf ball. It can be used to measure a variety of data points, including ball speed, launch angle, spin rate, and carry distance.

Benefits of Using TrackMan 4 for Golf Coaching

There are several benefits to using TrackMan 4 for golf coaching. First, it can help Billy identify specific areas you need to improve. For example, if a student is struggling to hit the ball long enough, Billy uses TrackMan data to see if the problem is with your smash factor, swing speed, launch angle, or spin rate.
Once the problem has been identified, Billy can then work with you to develop a plan to improve that area. TrackMan gives instant quantifiable feedback. This can help Billy make more objective decisions about your golf shots. Ultimately this avoids making decisions based on gut feeling or personal opinion. After your session, Billy will provide you with a report that includes your TrackMan data and a plan for improvement.

WHAT WE TRACK

Alongside Trackman, in coaching sessions Billy uses high speed cameras. The recording helps him see exactly what is going on. Billy video’s from a number of angles in order to get the best perspective of your game. This is a great tool for the student to gain perspective of their movement and can act as a tool for tracking your progress over time.
Billy uses CoachNow, a mobile app and web platform that provides personalized coaching for athletes and teams. The app allows users to record and analyze their performance, track their progress, and connect with Billy and other athletes. Via CoachNow, Billy offers a variety of features, including:
