The thing with range balls is that they may be limited flight and the yardage markers you see out on the range might be adjusted based on that. Besides the virtual range mode, they have target practice, long drive, and virtual golf games in the system as well. At my local range, it’s 20 bucks for 75 minutes and includes the range balls. They come to a normal driving range and add cameras to set up the system, then the players get all the standard ball flight data except for spin. Basically the same thing they use to make the tracer lines on TV. Just for reference, this isn’t a TopGolf setup, but their TopTracer technology. just achieve consistency on the range and don't worry about distance. I wouldn't bring my own clubs there.Īnyway I rambled a bit. But you can always become a platinum member and rent better clubs. Its a golf game promoting a party atmosphere. You can't take it too seriously if your a decent golfer.
#Toptracker reviews driver#
You smoke a driver and it barely gets to the back net at 200 yards. Restricted balls with locating chips in them. Harder scratch resistant covers two piece cheap balls. Range balls are meant to be beat to death. Our range balls are replaced every other year. The first tee is right beside the range and I can hit it 30 yards further down the fairway past the end of the range. My course does not use restricted flight golf balls. Basically you are looking for consistancy anyway.Īny range work will yield results less than actual unless you are on tour hitting new ProV"s on the range. So if you hit your 8 iron to the 150 mark and the system tells you 130 just add 20 yards. If the inaccuracy is consistant across all clubs you can easily just add the dievation to your results. I have a lesson next week, and I plan to find out more. I did not have a chance to ask any of the staff about it, as the shop was not yet open (balls can be gotten from an auto dispenser before and after hours). Unfortunately, I have not been on a launch monitor in some time, so I can't comment on the accuracy of the other stats. I'd really love to be able to use this to dial in carry yardage for partial shots, and especially wedges, but right now it's not good enough. With the driver I was carrying it between the 225 and 250 markers, but the app said my average was 204. I used my rangefinder to shoot some of the targets (the app also gives you a map of the range with yardage for each target - that was accurate), and, with my 8 iron, for example, I was hitting it consistently a few yards past a pole at 149 yards. All sounds great, but the yardage it calculates is clearly way short. It gives you summary stats for each club. For each shot it gives you "flat" carry, total distance, launch angle, height, landing angle, hang time, curve, and offline. Once you confirm your spot, before hitting a shot you input which club you're using. You start by hitting a few shots, and it fixes your position based on sound. They provide a bunch of stands to hold your phone, and you can move it where it works best for you. In the mat bays they have a monitor in each bay, but for the grass tees you need a smartphone and the app. It's a neat setup, if they get it to be accurate. I had heard others complain that the yardage numbers it gave were way short, and I found that to be quite true today. They have added Toptracer, and today was my first time using it. As each is observed, evaluated, and analysed, players are given real-time feedback into the strengths and weaknesses of their performance during that play-through of Toptracer30.My practice place (and lessons and clubfitting) is Miles of Golf Cincinnati.
#Toptracker reviews series#
Toptracer30 consists of nine tee shots and 21 approach shots, with each shot evaluated depending on a number of variables - ranging from distance and accuracy when driving, to hole proximity and greens hit when approaching.ĭuring gameplay, players are additionally provided with a series of ‘Insights’. The new game mode has been designed as a bridge between the range and the golf course, simulating on-course pressure for players as they are tasked with a series of different situations. Toptracer has introduced a new game mode, Toptracer30, which puts players in 30 realistic virtual on-course scenarios, and measures how successfully the player navigates them - providing a mountain of data in just 30 shots. Each shot provides data which accumulates to a total score designed to offer an accurate and objective snapshot assessment of the player’s current performance level.
