Anyone use Trackman to learn your distance with each club?

[351DRIVER]

Everytime I play a shot on the course I get the carry distance from where it lands relative to either a fairway feature or green front, middle or back.

On the one hand I'm para old about knowing what distances I face when playing a shot on the course, but on the other I see remarkably little benefit in all this detailed analysis of Distance at the range - I hit maybe 0.1% of my golf shots on the course from a mat and only hit 2 consecutiven shots the same when playing a provisional (when I clearly don't wish to hit them the same!).

There is i would suggest an over analysis of stats, once someone is on to these devices, everyone then aims to make the right number for the machine to be happy, doing this shot after shot from a plastic mat, is probably not going to help you too much on the course... I like these machines for references or to highlight major faults, i.e. spinning a driver at 4500, working on reducing it.. come back a month later and see

I would mention i am 100% guilty of obsessing over the numbers but i kicked the habit

Indeed - they are perfect for relative club comparisons and as an aide to understanding what's really happening at impact!
