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.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      By imsys0042 · Posted

      I wonder if that is why my home course basically have no stakes now.  Not even markers.  It’s completely up to golfers to remember what is OB and hazard and how things used to be marked.     Even in tournaments, there is no marking and certain areas are played differently by different golfers who either don’t know better or use it to their advantage funny reading thru this with courses that actually have markers

      Electrolytes

      By Elmer · Posted

      Great post, thanks for the informaiton. I try to avoid adding salt to anything I eat. I tend to add pepper on to my meals as opposed to salt. And I am trying to eat as clean on possible. On golf day, I eat 3 eggs for breakfast (pepper NO salt) and a salad for lunch, with grilled chicken thigs (pepper, garlic, no salt). I have been trying to avoid processed food, but we all slip. I also should have mentioned that the electrolyte packet calls for mixing with 16 oz of water, however I mix in 32 oz of water, so I dilute the electrolyte powder.

      LIV Golf Now Closed?

      By imsys0042 · Posted

      So if I read the news correctly, the PIF will not fund LIV after this season.  LIV is trying to find new funding and a number of players there are now asking about getting back to the Tour.    I am very, very concerned that Taylor Gooch will not have a place where he can make a jackass out of himself soon
