NO MORE GUESSING
Putting has entered a new era. TrackMan has reinvented club and ball tracking in putting and this is available in all putting lessons with Barry Taylor PGA. Help "Putting it Right" for your game
TrackMan’s ground-breaking data parameters for club, ball and green synced with video have caused a seismic shift in how players practice, analyse and understand this critical part of the game. Trackman putting has 30 different parameters which it measures, these include club data as well as ball data and green data. [See below] |
DATA EXAMPLES
The data trackman gives us enables Barry to deliver in-depth putter fitting’s and putting lessons. Here are a taster of some of the 30 data points that Trackman allows Barry to focus on:
Launch Direction- This is the start direction of which the ball is travelling once it has left the putter face.
Skid Distance- In simple terms, how far the ball bounces or slides before it starts its true roll. The shorter amount of skid achieved, the quicker it starts the true roll. This number can be affected by angle of attack being negative.
Roll Percentage- As mentioned previously, this is the percentage of true roll after it has skidded. Ideally, we are looking for this number to be 90% or above. Again, like skid, this can be affected by other parameters.
Tempo- This is the backswing time divided by the forward swing time. This is a number that should be pretty consistent throughout. If it varies quite a lot then we could be accelerating or deaccelerating throughout the putt and is something that needs looking at.
Angle of Attack- This is one of the newly updated numbers and is the same as a full shot. The putter is very similar to a driver in the terms of that it doesn’t have a great deal of loft and needs a positive angle of attack to roll well. This is usually something that is down to a good technique.
Club Path- Again, like in the full swing a putter club path can be in-out, out-in or square. Depending on what this is can also affect things such as face angle, angle of attack and skid. This is again something that needs to be consistent.
Face to Path- This is your face angle relative to your club path and will affect launch direction.
Launch Direction- This is the start direction of which the ball is travelling once it has left the putter face.
Skid Distance- In simple terms, how far the ball bounces or slides before it starts its true roll. The shorter amount of skid achieved, the quicker it starts the true roll. This number can be affected by angle of attack being negative.
Roll Percentage- As mentioned previously, this is the percentage of true roll after it has skidded. Ideally, we are looking for this number to be 90% or above. Again, like skid, this can be affected by other parameters.

PERFECT DATA
Trackman Putting helps you improve your green-reading skills by providing you with real-time feedback on green details, all of which have been tracked via ball tracking.
The slope and the effective stimp of the green are fundamental for understanding the speed and the corresponding break of a putt. These factors are essential for the player to recognise in order to determine the optimal coordination of green reading, ball speed and launch direction. Once understood, they will enhance a students ability to adapt to any putt on the course. These data points also help eliminate doubt and build confidence in your putting game. |
VIDEO ANALYSIS
Trackman's built-in video analysis enhances the visual feedback with the ball tracer, which displays the true slope and any inconsistencies on the surface on the green. You get instant, accurate feedback on key parameters.
Trackman 4 used in conjunction with the teaching skills and experience of Barry Taylor PGA is a sure fire way to "Putting it Right" and bringing you confidence of the greens to improve your game. |
