Normalized data — called Conversion in the Trackman Range software — removes the effects of wind, altitude, and temperature from your shot data. It shows how your shot would have performed under standard, neutral conditions with a premium ball, giving you a consistent benchmark regardless of the day or location.
Why Does It Matter?
Environmental conditions directly affect how far and how high the ball travels. Without normalization, comparing shots across different days or locations can be misleading.
Conversion factors out:
- Altitude
- Higher altitudes mean thinner air and more carry.
- Temperature
- Warmer air is less dense, allowing the ball to travel farther.
- Wind
- Wind is removed to reflect a no-wind scenario.
How to Identify It on Screen
The color of the data labels tells you instantly whether Conversion is active:
- ORANGE labels: Conversion is OFF. Data reflects real shot conditions — wind, altitude, and temperature included.
- BLUE labels: Conversion is ON. Data is normalized to standard conditions with a premium ball and no wind.
The Conversion feature can be toggled by facility staff. If you are unsure whether it is active at your bay, ask a range attendant.
