Trackman range session: Narabeen range Tuesday 8th May 5:30pm - 9pm

[Jono]

Now a proud owner of a refurbished second hand Trackman, I will be holding a Trackman range session tomorrow evening at Narrabeen driving range. I'll be leaving Wollongong around 4pm so hopefully, if the traffic is not too bad, I'll be there by 5:30pm.

I'm just beginning to learn what Trackman can do and it's bloody impressive. Whole host of features that can help you find the right equipment and also help you with your swing.

If I spend about 15 minutes with each person, we should be able to fit in about 10-12 people.

I can bring some second hand balls in good condition if you want to hit them instead of the range balls and pay me 50 cents a ball.

Who's interested?


** date set for next Tuesday 8th May **

[timah!]

Frikkin awesome!

[Captain Nemo]

Do you want to bump it a week mate ?

[JADO75]

You blokes up north could just get igolf to stand behind your ball & he'd be able to tell you all your numbers, fix your swing & give you life lessons.

[Jono]

Guys, I'll try to hold another session later on in the year.

I'm meeting up with Virge tomorrow at the range and see what his numbers are like.

BTW, using Trackman made me realise that you can't trust any other launch monitor or speed radar device. The Achiever tells me that my driver spin is 4500rpm but the trackman says 2500 rpm. I hit a few drives hard last night and maxed out on the swing speed radar at 130mph. Same swing showed 120mph on the Trackman.

I hit my drives around 2-5 degrees on the upswing. I found that I actually hit is more solid when I swing the club more level rather than hitting it too much on the way up.

Jono are you going to hold one in Wollongong at some stage?

I'll have to talk to the practice manager. She approved me leaving early tomorrow so I'll have to see if she will let me leave early next Tuesday.

Guys, can you write down your availability for tomorrow and next tuesday? If there are significantly more people available next tuesday, I'll aim for then.

[Jono]

Just held one yesterday.

Let me know when you are free and you can have a hit at my place.

[mudrat]

Bugger. Tuesdays are no good for me.

[Dotty]

Sounds good, Jono.

See you there tomorrow (or next week).

Awesome, lets tee it up for a month or so's time if that's ok? You can tell me how much my swing has regressed in that time, haven't swung a golf club for a few weeks and won't be until end of May

If it doesn't get oversubscribed i'll head up for a looksee - not of much use with my swing, but would interested watching how the numbers work.

Got to say 1.5hrs 'gong to Narrabeen could be optimistic!

[Panpeter]

Would be great to finally get some numbers on my swing. ill see you down there about 630.

[irishamateur]

Nice one! I am game, should be there 6.45

[Peter]

Got to say 1.5hrs 'gong to Narrabeen could be optimistic!

I was just about to say the same.

I'll be a little surprised if it's less than 2 hours at that time of the day.

[virge666]

Alright mAte. See you there.

[Jono]

Guys, I'd already spoken to the practice manager and agreed to finish early NEXT Tuesday (ie 8th) instead of tomorrow.

See you guys next Tuesday.

Aiming to leave around 3:30-4:00pm.

Think about what you want to work on before then. eg. wedge distances, driver, iron distances.

Stuart came over tonight and worked on getting better launch conditions for his driver. He is a 5 marker to swings the club around 100mph. He tends to hit is a bit low with the driver with a bit too much spin. His spin rate initially was around 3500 initially and we got it down to 2500 after tonight's session.

[Dotty]

See you next week with a driver.

[Gomer]

I'd be keen for a session in Wollongong some time. I'm a hack like peps but be interesting to get some numbers on my swing.

In a month ok

[Gomer]

Fine by me.

[Jono]

Guys, just an update.

I was supposed to receive Trackman training next Wednesday in Wollongong but we've changed it to next Tuesday. Rather than getting trained in Wollongong and rushing up to Narrabeen range, I'm now going to receive training at the Narrabeen range from about midday until 5pm. So feel free to come down from 5pm onwards for a swing analysis. To do a decent analysis, i'll have to spend around 20-30 minutes with each person so it may even be worthwhile putting your names down on a time slot so you don't wait around for too long.

Put your names down and copy and past.

Actually, any time would suit me, so willing to sell the 7pm slot for a Cornetto and a lemon squash.
