Hitting buckets of balls at the driving range feels productive—but without real feedback, you could be reinforcing bad habits. That’s where Trackman, the industry-leading golf radar system, comes in. It doesn’t just measure your swing—it fixes it. Here are five common range mistakes that Trackman helps eliminate instantly.

1. Misjudging Distance

At the range, it’s hard to know exactly how far each club carries. Range balls and wind can skew your perception. Trackman provides precise carry and total distance numbers, so you finally know how far you actually hit each club.

2. Ignoring Spin and Launch Angle

Two golfers can hit the same distance—but one might be launching too high with too much spin. Trackman shows you real-time data on launch angle and spin rate, helping you find the perfect balance for distance and control.

3. Inconsistent Contact

You might think you’re hitting it solid—but without data, it’s just a guess. Trackman tracks “smash factor,” which measures how efficiently you’re transferring energy to the ball. You’ll know immediately if you’re hitting the sweet spot or missing it.

4. Overlooking Club Path and Face Angle

One of the biggest reasons for slices and hooks is a poor club path or open/closed face. Trackman shows both metrics clearly, helping you visualize exactly why the ball curves—and how to fix it.

5. Wasting Practice Time

Practicing blindly at the range often leads to repeating the same mistakes. With Trackman, every shot gives you measurable feedback, turning each swing into a step toward improvement.

Bottom Line

Trackman turns guesswork into progress. Instead of just hitting balls, you’ll practice with purpose—refining your swing faster and playing better golf with every session.
