Trackman uses Doppler radar to measure: club data (club head speed, attack angle, club path, face angle, dynamic loft, shaft lean) and ball data (ball speed, launch angle, spin rate, spin axis, carry distance, total distance, landing angle). Trackman data has revolutionized instruction by proving that many long-held beliefs about ball flight were wrong. Most significant finding: the ball starts primarily in the direction the face is pointing (not the path) — contradicting decades of teaching. Trackman is the reference standard for launch monitor data. Price: $25,000-$30,000 for the full unit. Trackman practice mode: allows players to see data on every shot and compare to tour averages by club and swing speed. GOATY biomechanical analysis complements Trackman data by explaining the body mechanics that produce (or fail to produce) the optimal Trackman numbers.
