Trackman practice

[Jason.H]

Hi I went to the range. Had a good warm up then set the practice setting and hit a basket of ball’s with my 7iron. I do this about once a month and managed to get the accuracy percentage to 72% which is my best so far. This was for 90 balls.
Anyone else do this?
I find it difficult to concentrate for this period but it shows I have improved of late.

No expert but I would have thought that 90 balls with one club is not the best way to practice.

Is that not incredibly dull to do? I went to the range on Monday and went through the bag, average 5 shots per club before moving on to the next one. If I hit 5 bad ones I keep going until I hit 2 good ones but otherwise I mix it up.

After all you won't be hitting 7 iron only out on the course

100%! One of the main benefits of Trackman is that it has plenty of games and activities for you to mix up your practice and keep it interesting and relevant. Personally, after a 10-ball warm-up, I'm usually playing a virtual course so I'm constantly changing clubs and every shot has a purpose and intention.

The only benefit of hitting a 7 iron 90 times would be if you're making a significant swing change and trying to bed it in I would think.

When I do go to a range, it's a max of 30 balls including warm up and cool down.
It's too easy to ingrain bad things when just stood there hitting ball after ball without the walk between shots to free the body up.

Personally I don’t like the virtual courses that much though I do play them if we have a few friends there.
I have been working on my swing and the fact that my accuracy % is higher shows that the work is paying off.
Using a 7 iron is what a pro told me to do when I’m working on my swing.
I don’t always do that, just do this once a month and don’t normally don’t have 90 balls as I’m too tight

I’m not practicing I’m testing myself to get the highest % with a basket of balls. Using the 7 iron solely means I’m getting the best accurate feedback.
I’m using the practice facility on the trackman for my benefit. Not just aimlessly bashing balls out.

Yeah that's fine, as I said, it makes sense to hit lots of reps if you're making changes. I couldn't just go and hit one club regularly though, I'd be bored -less. The Trackman virtual course has been revolutionary for me in keeping my interest levels high in actually wanting to practice weekly.

I sometimes use a random number generator on my phone to choose numbers between 90 and 210 and then obviously choose a clubs to hit those carry numbers. If I’m within 10 yards it’s a tick otherwise it’s a cross. It’s probably a better test of ball striking.

I would much rather do this sort of practise than just hitting one club. Might try it next time I go to the range.
