During a session at the range, Trackman provides detailed data for every shot you hit. This article explains what each measurement means and how it can help you improve your game. By understanding these metrics, you can gain valuable insights into your swing and ball flight. Trackman Range helps you identify areas for improvement, allowing you to make more consistent and effective shots over time.
Distance
- Carry – The distance the ball travels through the air before it lands.
- Total – The total distance the ball travels, including both carry and roll after it hits the ground.
Speed
- Club Speed – The speed of the clubhead at the moment of impact (measured in mph).
- Ball Speed – The speed of the ball immediately after it leaves the clubface (measured in mph).
Spin
- Spin Rate – The amount of spin on the ball (measured in rpm). This affects trajectory, distance, and how quickly the ball stops.
- Spin Axis – The tilt of the ball’s spin (measured in degrees).
Negative values indicate a draw or hook, while positive values indicate a fade or slice.
Impact & Swing Direction
- Attack Angle – The angle at which the clubhead strikes the ball (measured in degrees).
A negative value means the club is moving downward; a positive value means it is moving upward. - Club Path – The direction the clubhead is traveling at impact (measured in degrees).
A positive value indicates an in-to-out path, while a negative value indicates an out-to-in path. - Face to Path – The relationship between the clubface angle and the swing path. This is a key factor in determining shot shape.
Ball Flight
- Launch Angle – The initial angle at which the ball leaves the clubface (measured in degrees).
- Low Point Distance – The point where the club reaches the lowest part of the swing arc relative to the ball. This is important for consistent and solid contact.
