 What is it? TrackMan. "This is the best technology I've ever seen," said George Pinnell, who has been using TrackMan for his Golf Academy at Rowland Heights Golf Center for about two months. "This measures everything." "Everything" would be all relevant performance data during a golf shot - from ball speed and launch angles to carry distance and maximum ball height. TrackMan is packaged in a little orange box that discreetly stands on its own and connects easily to a computer. "On TrackMan, we're able to measure if the club was coming from the inside or the outside, and by how many degrees. Or was it on line? Was the clubface open, closed, or square, and by how many degrees? What was the club doing right before impact, and what was it doing right after impact," Pinnell said. TrackMan's advanced software has modules designed for fitting certain clubs, such as drivers. It also has a "gaming" function that allows a person to pick a target at whatever distance and direction and track the performance of clubs to that target. You can even get a real-time, three-dimensional look at the trajectory of your shots. Pinnell, whose clientele includes touring professional Jay Choi, USC standout Rory Hie, and reigning U.S. Girls Junior champion Kristen Park, is a firm believer in using TrackMan to help his best players get better. "TrackMan provides important data that will help my players improve their swings and ball flight, while lowering their scores," Pinnell said.
