Sharpen Your Play with Trackman Combine
Honing your golf game takes immense practice and keen attention to detail. Effective practice involves more than just a couple evenings on the driving range spent grabbing a club, taking a couple swings, and watching the ball fly. It’s about paying careful attention to elements like swing speed, club face angle, and carry distance. But carrying plenty of course experience and the latest portable tech can only account for a fraction of your training if you’re hoping to make substantial strides in your golf game. At the Golf Crypt, we’re proud to offer members a 360-degree view of their golf game through features like Trackman Combine, a standardized golf skills assessment powered by Trackman simulator.
What is the Trackman Combine assessment?
A traditional driving range can give you experience with real-world weather and depth perception, but with the cutting-edge technology of Trackman simulator, you can capture even the most subtle details of game play through the power of precision data. Whether you’re playing a virtual round of 18 holes on a world-renowned course or running drills on the putting green, Trackman provides the ultimate realistic golf simulator experience for those looking to improve their skills.
Trackman Combine takes performance to a new level by providing you with a comprehensive audit of your golf game. The assessment is comprised of 60 shots spread across 10 different distances. The distance checkpoints include 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 120, 140, 160, and 180 yards. Driver shots are also incorporated outside of these distances for a complete survey of your golf game.
Not only does Trackman Combine test you at varied distances, but it also tests your adaptability. Rather than follow yardage in either an ascending or descending order, the program randomizes the shot sequence to test a player’s ability to respond in a manner similar to the pace of play exhibited on a real course. In this way, Trackman not only tests technical performance, but also mental toughness.
For instance, a player may complete a shot at 100 yards using a gap wedge. After three shots, the assessment may request the player complete a driver shot that’s 300 yards from the pin. Thus, Trackman pushes players to assess situations quickly and make decisions under pressure.
Average Scoring for Above-Average Play
Besides adaptability and distance, Trackman Combine’s greatest benefit to players is its aggregate scoring system. Conventional performance tracking for an outdoor driving range or regular course play requires players to keep detailed records of their shots. Trackman, on the other hand, eliminates manual record keeping with real-time metrics that go deeper and provide more accurate readings. Using these numbers, you can identify ways to improve your swing, close gaps, and shape shots through meticulous tracking technology.
Trackman Combine goes one step further by creating an aggregate score. The assessment starts by rating individual shots on a scale from zero to 100. Each swing is evaluated according to the distance from the pin and deviation from the target line. More nuanced metrics, such as club face analysis and smash factor, are also incorporated.
A swing score closer to 100 correlates to a near-perfect shot. Shots around the 70s and 80s denote an advanced amateur while those around the 50s are more akin to an intermediate player. Scores around 40 or below correspond to an inconsistent performance, typically that of a beginner.
Once the 35-minute assessment is complete, players are immediately given an overall score along with the scores for all 60 shots. In addition, the system will inform players of their most consistent and inconsistent distances. Players can even compare their data to the scores of thousands of other participants — including PGA champions.
Train with Purpose
By emphasizing aggregate data, the Trackman Combine test gives you a comprehensive view of your strengths and weaknesses. Using the complete analysis, you can identify the error patterns hindering your performance, whether it’s constant deviation in your drive or a misaligned club face. With clearer insights, you stop wasting time and turn your focus to the areas with the most room for growth.
As a data aggregation, the assessment results can also serve as personal benchmarks that assist in setting realistic and attainable training goals. Trackman Combine’s ability to compare your benchmark scores to various peer groups can also boost confidence in your skills, or create healthy drive as you work to achieve your practice goals.
If you practice alongside a teacher or instructor, you can even share your results to assist in developing a more relevant and meaningful training program. Through a centralized analysis, your instructor can learn more about the flaws in your swing, the ways you crack under pressure, and more.
With a membership to The Golf Crypt, you can even repeat the Trackman Combine assessment as often as you’d like. Your ideal training plan may include conducting monthly check-ins on your progress or a quarterly session to catch any new pain points in your game.
At The Golf Crypt, we know numbers don’t lie. That’s why we trust Trackman simulator to offer the best data-driven barometer for golfers determined to improve their play.
