Gumper,

How have you been? Fall and school has probably interrupted your golf game. I am in the process of getting one and will hope to have one up and running for 2010. I have a full line of Putters,Irons,Wedges, Drivers, Fairway Metals, Hybrids coming out and Trackman is $31,000 plus $400 per month mandatory support. I am working on it

Mike,

I'm fine, thanks. That is a big outlay. I hope that the price comes down.

Is there something that jumps out at you that you have learned with Trackman (from a teaching perspective)?

Thanks.

Gumper,

There is a lot that jumps out at me the 2 or 3 times I had access to it. Having a personal assistant with a teacher on the lesson tee who reports the shots on trackman during the lesson is the ideal scenario. Phenomnal to be able to have access to the inofrmation provided, having information provided in 3 dimensions can make an ok teacher and much much better one for just the price tag of $31,000. They say the price will never come down, I am sure something will come out and compete and drive the price down. We have all been wrapped into describing ball flight based on 2 dimensions the path of club and the face but the 3rd factor and 3rd dimension of the upward and downward is a massive element. There is only one Trackman on Long Island at The Golf Stop store which does indoor fitting. Using it indoors does not give the trackman the entire flight to get readings but its better than nothing. Will I get one, yes, its a matter of timing but I will have it and probably by next season.
