Trackman Locations

[scotth]

I would love to hit some balls someplace where there is a Trackman.  Other than looking on their website, or calling every range in the vicinity, can anybody tell me an easier way to locate a facility that has one?  Most of the local (and I use that term loosely in this context) training facilities have horrible websites that give very little information other than location and hours of operation.

Looking at the Trackman website, I don't see that information.  Using the various contact forms on the Trackman site has resulted in several auto response emails from a sales representative, with no actual personal attention.  I had hoped that they might eventually call or somebody might actually read the contact forms, but apparently the comment part of the form is not something they look at very often or at all.

I have no doubt the Trackman can provide valuable data, but the idea of buying one for my personal use is out of the question.

Best guess is to web search teaching pros and they will show if they have one. Short of that, it is going to be lucking into one somewhere I bet.

Flightscope Mevo might be an option for you?

Well it certainly is much more budget friendly for the individual user that isn't a pro golfer.  Might have to look more into it.  

Short of driving to a casino that has a golf dome 95 miles away have not found a Trackman I could hit off of around here.

And if you find one, it might be dumbed down. For instance, only distance, spin rate displayed, no face, no path, no angle of attack, apex, etc... This is not the recent case of the soon to available Trackman available near Detroit, but a setup in NJ I tried.

Most people wouldn't know what to do with that information anyway. Still, I wouldn't want to pay extra money to use a Trackman at a driving range and not get the full deal.

That's a good point.  I am one of those people.  None of these info was talked about or available to most people 15 years ago when I was playing.  

I would need somebody to interpret the data for me, and how that information can be used to  improve swing or equipment that I use.

You could start a swing thread and post it there. You can get help even without Trackman information.
