Trackman Target Practice Lecture Notes

in today's video we're going to talk about an incredible mode on trackman called target practice this is a practice mode where any shot is possible you can hit shots anywhere from 60 yards all the way up to the chip and green to hitting t- shots down the middle of a fairway it's an open world you can drop the ball anywhere on the course if you want to work on a shot over the tree if you want to work on a shot through the trees you want to work on a shot over a bunker in a bunker you can literally drop it anywhere on the golf course you can literally drop anywhere on this range it's one of the coolest ranges it would be a dream to have a range like this to practice on cuz there's not one shot you can't work on we're going to talk about how to change your yardages how to change targets how to change the wind yes you can change the wind and even how to drop the ball anywhere on the course so you can make any shot possible let's get into it all right to get started you're just going to go into practice then you're going to go down here to target practice no need to change any settings pretty much all the stock settings are the same unless you're wan to change the firmness of the course if you're want to change the green firmness to let's say soft and you want leave the fairy firmness to medium if you want to go and preset the when you can I wouldn't and if you want to change the stamp or if you want to change the altitude that's pretty much all you would need to change in the settings go and hit start practice then you're going to select your profile and now you're good to go right here on the home screen is where you can select the stock yardages that it has ready for you you can choose between a 60 yard shot all the way up to 365 yards to hit down a fairway first shot I'm going to select is 80 but I want to show you as you click through these you're going to see it changes targets it already has some preset for you that makes it quick and easy to work on specific numbers so that you can dial in your iron game or even your long game I'm going to start off at an 80 yard shot and then I'm going to hit select and now you're good to go on this home screen you're going to see a few different things on the left you're going to see your data the data on the left can be changed by clicking edit you can just unselect this and reselect whatever data point you want so that you can use that to improve your ball striking improve your Club data if you're trying to come more in out out to whatever you're trying to work on it'll give you all that data one of the coolest things I think is on here is you can actually use it to track your impact location on the face so you can do impact offset and then you can do impact height those two data points will tell you where you hit it on the club F once you're done you're going to hit save and close now over here on the left is your main menu on how to change where the ball is on this virtual driving range over here on the left is your main selection to be able to change where you're dropping the ball on the golf course if you hit select distance that takes you right back to where we were where you can change your distances then if you select Target it'll keep the ball in the same location down here but now you can select any pin location you want pin G at 135 yards pin L at 225 pin m at 182 you can literally select any Target from here once you've selected that Target you're just going to hit done and you're good to go the final place here is to hit Place ball you can literally select anywhere you want on the map to place the ball you can come up here and you can click over here it'll drop the ball over here now because I still have that pin selected it's going to redirect me back to that pin but let's just say I wanted to drop the ball here but I wanted to go to the green behind me I'm going to hit select Target and now I'm going to click on the 21 Y and now I have a 20 21 yard chip shot up the hill that's incredible so this gives you the ability to literally drop the ball anywhere you want I want to put it in the bunker I come over here and I put it in the bunker and now I can work on Bunker shots to that pin and a lot of times what I'll do is I'll drop a ball right here I'll hit a few shots and then I'll just start backing it up working to that same spot and just keep working on the different yardages of that pin so that way I can really dial in my wedges and as you can see in this particular shot it's kind of cool to work on CU it's uphill so you have to work on your uphill shots there's other ones that are dead flat so you can work on those next let me show you how to hit out of the tree so first I'm going to select a Target that's around some trees I'm going to select this 246 one I'm going to hit done then I'm going to hit Place ball and I'm going to have to experiment I have to drop it somewhere here in the trees and see if I have a little bit of a tree shot here let's see if I can find all right here's a good example now I got to flight this really low under the trees so that I can make sure that it get onto the green so now I can drop golf balls in the trees and work really hard on not getting up in the air and hitting the tree as you can see this mode is extremely versatile now I'm going to go back to the 80 yard shot by selecting select distance click 80 select it takes me right back to the teeing ground so now I can hit this 80 yard shot I want to show you a couple more cool features of this mode so let me hit a few shots over here on the left you can see the elevation of the Green from here it's actually 16 ft below me you can definitely see see that on the screen as well but you get some data here 80 yard shot 16 ft below me so it's going to carry a little bit further normal let me hit a couple so you can watch how the ball reacts when it hits the green pulled it just to here woo barely got it on let me hit one more that should be pretty good get back to the hole there not bad as you can see the ball stops right where it hit so the spin's being tracked well you can even see on the mini map you can see where all your shots landed so it's going to give you some dispersion of all your shots you can kind of track how you're hitting the ball next I want to show you how to apply wind so if you want to practice hitting into the wind down wind cross wind whatever that is let me show you how to apply the wind so now you can practice those types of shots to change the wind you're going to go up here here to this little button right here you're going to choose the amount of wind you want to play with let's say let's say 12 mph then I can select the wind direction so if I want it coming from right to left I'm going to have the wind going left from right to left and now it's going to be blowing from right to left and you'll see my shots be effective by that let me hit a shot here so I can show you how that works because the wind is going from right to left I definitely need to aim more right to play for the win so I'm aiming at the right edge of the green here on the simulator and I'm going to let that wind bring it back towards the hole so let me hit a shot here and you'll see how that wind affects the shot just like that you can see that wind really pushing it's actually going to end up left of the hole not too bad though as you can see there's so many applications when it comes to using this range mode whether that be working on your wedges your irons to different slopes to different winds all that kind of cool stuff the final thing I want to show you is how you can use it for your short game obviously your lie in the simulator is going to be always the same but you can work on your distance control you can work on your shot selection whether you got a tuck pin whether the ball's going to release more whether it's going to stop more you can start to learn the principles of how to actually choose the right type of shot and the right Club on the golf course let me show you that now remember to change where you want to place the ball first go ahead and select the Target you want to go to I'm going to select pin location o I'm going to go and hit done then I'm going to hit Place ball and for now I'm going to drop it in the Fairway grass just short of the green right here then I'm going to hit done I have about a 23 yard shot here let me show you how this works all right looks like I have a little bit of an uphill shot here it goes from Blue to Yellow so definitely a little bit on the UPS slope so this ball should stop fairly quickly as I hit this just like that it did looks like I tugged it just to here but just like that you can work on your chipping you can drop it in the rough if you drop in the rough you're going to notice the power and spin meter if you you're going to lose a little bit of spin you're going to lose a little bit of power so now you get to immerse yourself in all these different types of shots if you want to go over a tree or again if you want to go out of the bunker I'll hit one bunker shot here in just a second but literally any shots possible on this range I went ahead and really quickly dropped it right here in the bunker obviously with this Turf I can't really treat it like a bunker shot slap it behind it all those things but I can go ahead and work on hitting up and out of a bunker getting some Loft I can go ahead and open the club face trackman will be really good at tracking the shot open the club face and I can go ahead and add a little bit of speed and a little bit of spin here as you can see it tracked that just fine I didn't hit it hard enough that was the right type of shot I just didn't hit it hard enough I'll hit one more more for you here but trackman will capture all these shots little better release out a little bit oh that actually turned out to be pretty good so literally any shot is possible on the target practice mode I hope this video was helpful I hope you understand this mode a little bit better and how we can really be an asset to your golf game if you're watching this video and you're local to West Texas book a Tea Time online at Texas wedge. go/ book now this is a really valuable mode to your golf game whether it be the winter and you're trying to really build your game in preparation for the summer or if you're in the middle of the summer and you're really looking to sharpen your skills in an indoor climate controlled environment using premium technology using accurate data come on into Texas wedge if you're not local to here go to your nearest indoor trackman facility and check this mode out it's going to make a big difference in your golf game we'll see you next time peace PE
