Formerly known as TrackMan Go, the new TrackMan Golf Pro app lets you connect your iOS device to your TrackMan 4 unit wirelessly and get instant access to all your club and ball data. Our latest app is more powerful and easier to use than ever: REFRESHED AND REFINED USER INTERFACE All data is presented intuitively, with simple, bold graphics that are easy to read indoors and out. DATA PARAMETERS WITH CORRIDORS Practice more efficiently by focusing on the numbers that matter most to you. With Corridors, you can set ideal ranges for each data parameter. For every shot, any parameter that’s within your designated range will be highlighted green; any shot outside the range will be highlighted red. TRAJECTORY AND SHOT DISPERSION See trajectory and shot dispersion for each club in your bag and identify gaps in your yardages. PERFORMANCE CENTER FEATURING STROKES GAINED Enhanced for players of all levels, Performance Center uses a strokes-gained scoring system — based on TrackMan data collected from PGA Tour professionals — to help you practice specific shots and situations you might face during competitive play. SWING VIDEO WITH DATA PARAMETERS Simple swing recordings using the TrackMan Camera app are instantly available for analysis using drawing tools — all right next to the selected data parameters. CLUB DATA VISUALIZATIONS See where you hit the ball and how the club head was moving and oriented at the time of maximum compression. INTUITIVE PERFORMANCE PUTTING Say goodbye to repetitive practice in static environments. Next-generation putting intelligence helps you unleash your potential by focusing on all aspects of the putting game. A groundbreaking collection of data points provides accurate information on the club, ball and green, together with enhanced video analysis and feedback. MULTI-LANGUAGE SUPPORT The app is available in English, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Spanish and Korean so you can work more efficiently in the language of your choice. Note: For full swing data, you can use TrackMan 3e and TrackMan 4. For putting data, a TrackMan 4 is required. Some features in the app require a software subscription.
