Top Tracer

[RFKFREAK]

So, I went to the range and they had this thing called Top Tracer which I think is associated with Pro Tracer.  Only cost $7 an hour so I figured I'd give it a shot.

It tells you what the total yards, total carry, ball speed, launch angle, height, landing angle, curve, and how offline your shot is.  Unfortunately it doesn't tell you how much you spin the ball.

Anyone ever use this before?  I got some data and I'm trying to determine how to make it useful (although I'm all over the place so who knows).

I think TopGolf bought "Pro Tracer" and rebranded it.

I haven't used it. What are you trying to determine? Did the data seem accurate?

It seemed accurate.  On one of my better driver swings it spit out at me:

276 Total yards

255 Carry

151 Ball speed

12 Degree launch angle

33 Yds Peak Height

37 Degee Landing Angle

0 Feet Curve

20 Feet Offline right 

Now I also had some bad strikes but I'm trying to determine how useful this could be.  The first glaring thing that stood out was my launch angle which on this strike was 12 degrees but for the session averaged out to 14 degrees which I feel is quite low.  So, I'm trying to figure out if this is something that I can use as a tool to improve or if I shouldn't even bother since I've typically scored in the high 90's to low 100's.

Just realized this thing existed when I was looking at IPhone Apps for golf. There is one near me, might go see how it is. 

Stonebrook Driving Range | ProTracer Range

Its like $10 bucks for a medium bucket. If that is the typical 70-80 golf ball quantity, it's like $2-$3 bucks more expensive than other driving ranges, but not bad if you get halfway decent data on your ball flight.
