About a month ago, I found a link to a wonderful set of videos created by the TrackMan launch monitor folks.  For a golfer looking for information on how to improve his game through the technology of launch monitors, this video collection is simply a gold mine.  Here is the overall link to these videos...

     TrackMan Golf Video Archives

There are plenty of links to explore and learn from, but I will highlight three of these below...

Ball Data and Club Data Links.  These two links contain descriptions of many of the most important things that Launch Monitors measure - like Club Path, Face Angle, Spin Loft, and more.  There are also descriptions of things like Gear Effect and the Ball Flight Laws.  Really good basic information.

TrackMan Fundamentals.  This section covers 10 areas related to what TrackMan (and other launch monitors like Flightscope) can measure that are important to understanding golf ball flight. 

One of these ten videos I thought was worth highlighting.  It was the video Straight Shot (Fundamental 9).  The video records Jason Duffner hitting a straight shot with his driver in 3 different ways.  I never thought of this possibility before - thank you Driver Gear Effect!

Performance of Average Male Amateur Golfer.  There is a wealth of valuable learning information in this video.  Three main things stand out....

• Many golfers give up as a much as 30 yards off the tee due to incorrect technique and poor equipment;

• That driving distance loss can have a major influence on how close they can hit their approach shots to the green; and

• The average golfer hits way more shots short of the target than past it.  Adding more club for your shots can be an easy way to lower scores!

Thanks for these videos TrackMan - keep it up!!
