I agree, it would be very interesting. I know YODA has spent time with a TrackMan, hopefully when his schedule allows, he'll jump in.

Yes,
What I'm saying is this. These trackman, flightscope type devices are not far from being proliferated. It doesnt matter if you like it or not. It doesnt matter if you think they are doorstops. They are a comin. An analogy would be TV in the 50's, Computers in the 80's and cell phones in the late 90's. These devices will be used whether fair or unfair to evaluate different schools of thought when it comes to the golf swing. It will be up to the proponent of a particular school of thought to defend his numbers. For example, people at home will be comparing the ballistics of Hoganish rotary type swing patterns (swinging left) to stackandtilt to pure TGM and so on. I am not saying that trackman is a perfect device and should be used as the teacher. I am not saying it is not without fault. I am saying it will become more like V1 software, where you can select the pro you want to model. In my opinion, the instructors will be forced into defining what the numbers are for their preferred stroke patterns very soon. I want someone like Mr. Blake to be the one defining (in terms of this type of data) what a G.O.L.F. stroke is before someone else declares it to be incorrect.

Whoa Hoss, I didn't call TM a door stop, but they will never be ubiquitous while the price is so high. Hopefully in my lifetime it will be affordable for all, and we will be silly not to have it as part of the tool box, but they better move quick...

Personally, while I can see these types of aids can certainly be put to constructive use, as stated earlier, one must consider the source when it comes to interpretation. I was recently in a store and watched a fellow hitting balls into a screen and a sales person then telling him what he needed based on the numbers he had on his computer. The only thing I could see that he needed was lessons. He walked out with a new offset driver with a soft shaft.
