Useful or just not the truth

[KevCarter]

I would hope that Trackman will record the Ball Flights accurately and compute any minor differences in Geometry. That's not the problem. But, a problem does exist if you look at the numbers in the above video and conclude that a Driver should be swung with a different geometry than a Nine Iron. That they can be different is not the problem either. That they "Should be different for the same Player" is the problem.

In the above video, Trackman shows that it's possible to use different Plane Angles and Angles of Approach and Attack and still result in a straight shot. Really??? is that new??? No, of course not. But the teacher concludes that that's just the way things are. That's why I have a problem with the video and the teacher. That's not the way things are, should be or need to be. In the right hands, Trackman should be an asset to the teacher, but in the wrong teachers hands, it will be the undoing of a potentially good player, who's paying big bucks while being led to believe that this is the best solution.

Trackman is a TOOL. And, as it is with all "tools", it's ONLY as good as the person who uses it. If you as a teacher don't have a firm grasp of golf alignments, then maybe you should learn these first before you spend good money on an overpriced piece of equipment. The teacher in the video is very confident that what he teaches is fundamentally sound and correct. Nothing new about that, either.

That's the scary part, interpretation. Another teacher is using TrackMan to declare there is no such thing as swing planes, even though TrackMan interprets planes and feeds the user the corresponding numbers. That's where AGENDA comes in. Making stuff up to put down other teachers. Saying TrackMan disproves the Imperatives is disingenuous and BS.
