TRACKMAN 4 LAUNCH MONITOR
The TrackMan 4 launch monitor provides the user with the greatest detail and accuracy of the club and ball at the moment of impact. All major stakeholders of the game, use and trust Trackman numbers for two main reasons: precision and reliability. Trackman records the full trajectory of any shot, pinpointing the landing position with an accuracy of less than 1 foot at 100 yards, while seamlessly displaying the shot’s 3D trajectory together with 26 impact and ball flight parameters in real time.
TRACKMAN COMBINE TESTING
TrackMan Combine is a standardized test that enables players to identify the strengths and weaknesses in their golf game. There is a clear correlation between your TrackMan Combine results and your success on the golf course.
DRIVER & WEDGE TESTING
TrackMan Test Center allows players to test every aspect of their game. Junior Elites will be constantly tested for driver distance and accuracy to go along with regular wedge testing to dial in yardages from 100 yards and in.
BODITRAK PRESSURE MAT
BodiTrak is a portable pressure mat that records a player’s balance distribution information and Center of Pressure (“CoP”) during the golf swing. The mat allows our coaches to see a player’s pressure distribution on their left versus right feet, pressure distribution on heel versus toe for both feet, and also the width of their stance. With this information our staff can have a better understanding of how a player is trying to create speed throughout their swing.
K-VEST 3D MOTION TECHNOLOGY
K-Vest measures the body throughout the swing. The system helps to determine the efficiency of your swing, and how well you transfer energy from the body to the club head.. This technology allows us to accurately diagnose swing faults whether they may be physical or technical causes. This ensures the swing is solid, efficient, and repeatable.
