    trackman indoor simulators

    Do the indoor Trackman sims use full Trackman which gives club data (face path, angle of attack, etc.) or is it just the same as a Trackman Range where it gives ball data only?

    For a ‘standard’ full shot. How fast does a typical tour pro swing?

    you don't really need to think about it, just swing to the beats in the app........start the backswing on beat 1, start the downswing on beat 2, and contact the ball on beat 3!

    For a ‘standard’ full shot. How fast does a typical tour pro swing?

    I use the tour tempo app and find it really useful - you can play around swinging at different tempos and see which one suits. Big advantage for me personally is when I'm standing over the ball, my only thought is adhering to the tempo and counting the beats.....it removes all other swing...

    I use skillest semi regulary for lessons, so here's my thoughts: 1. Yes, using a tripod 2. Typically positions, and whether bad habits are creeping in, e.g too inside on take away, early extension 3. Yes, use the free video analysis tool in skillest itself between lessons. Like the frame by...

If heading south, Old Course should be on shoulder season prices so worth trying the ballot as you've said. Carnoustie obviously not far down the road from Aberdeen either, they...

    2026 golf trips

    Looked it up....Craigtoun is the new name. It's a 18 hole course, fantastic inland course with great warm up facilities and clubhouse. It was previously owned by the Old Course Hotel but I imagine it will improve even further with the Links Trust taking it on.

    Help with fitting details and where.

    You don't really need them to give you the specs away, just make sure you know what they are during the fitting and remember them.
