Free Or Good Ball Flight Algorithm Modeler (Click for Photos)

Trajectoware https://www.trajectoware.com/phpBB3/app.php/dlext/?cat=1 Free, easy to install, see carry distance in an instant. The program was made about 10 years ago so the carry algorithm needs an update and as a result it tends to read carry a bit shorter than other algorithm. I recommend just inputting the ball data under Launch Parameter. And Horizontal Launch … Continue reading Free Or Good Ball Flight Algorithm Modeler (Click for Photos) →

Trackman 4 OERT Firmware Update (As of Feb 2019) (Click for Photos)

Just wanted to give out a quick new Trackman 4 February 2019 firmware update on OERT (Optical Enhanced Radar Tracking). The sample presented here is small (I was playing a Q-school on JNPG for 18 holes), but I've noticed the changes ever since the update, just didn't document them.

Flightscope Optimizer Ball Flight Algorithm Now Fixed!

Until last year, they had an algorithm flaw where they would exaggerate carry distance by at least 10+yds when the ball spin was less than 2200rpm (very similar with Foresight's GC2/GCQ).Now they seemed to acknowledge it and fixed it! Please see the attached before/after that I tested with TXG's shots as well as mine.I'm surprised … Continue reading Flightscope Optimizer Ball Flight Algorithm Now Fixed! →

Trackman’s Stimp Rating Is Very Accurate

I recently purchased a USGA Stimpmeter (it is absurdly overpriced but I got it since it was the only one that was authentic. It also comes with a Certificate of Calibration and signed by USGA and comes with 2 measurement holes instead of 1 unlike other knock-offs). In TPS software Trackman also shows your Stimp … Continue reading Trackman’s Stimp Rating Is Very Accurate →

Carry Yardage Fix Firmware Update Coming Soon For GC2/GCQ

As some of you know, GC2/GCQ exaggerates longer carry distance on low spin driver shots that have less than around 2500rpm. I have sent out my findings to engineers at Foresight a while back and they have recently acknowledged that there indeed was a flaw at the carry distance GC2 and GCQ output. They told … Continue reading Carry Yardage Fix Firmware Update Coming Soon For GC2/GCQ →

Range Balls vs Premium Balls (As of August 2018) (Click for Photos)

I tested a few range balls and wanted to give some ideas on how to think of normalizing data for more accurate representations. For Trackman users it's really simple since Trackman software already has a normalized function but for other launch monitors, they're always the balls that you're currently hitting on. The end result is … Continue reading Range Balls vs Premium Balls (As of August 2018) (Click for Photos) →

Trackman 4 vs GC2+HMT/GCQuad Comparison (As of August 2018) (Click for Photos)

Update: Jan 2020. Trackman has since then updated 2 times to enhance its indoor Spin Axis. While I have not done a thorough test, the current quick test suggests that it has narrowed the difference gap from GC2/Quad roughly 4x better than in Aug 2018. Below content in regards to Spin Axis is now outdated … Continue reading Trackman 4 vs GC2+HMT/GCQuad Comparison (As of August 2018) (Click for Photos) →

Trackman’s New Impact Location Feature

When this was announced this year at PGA Merchandise Show, I was thinking 'how would they do the calculation without looking at the impact'. Just like other calculations that many other devices do whether it's Carry, Spin Axis, Height, and etc., calculating where the impact location is also something that could be done without really … Continue reading Trackman’s New Impact Location Feature →
