4 Numbers For Fixing Your Slice with Trackman Insights at Golfing Around
Golfing Around, Peterborough's premier indoor golf simulator, offers a revolutionary way to improve your game using Trackman technology. For golfers struggling with a persistent slice, Trackman provides invaluable data to diagnose and correct this common issue.
Here’s how you can use Trackman's precise metrics to transform your slice into a powerful, controlled draw.
Understanding the Slice with Trackman
A slice typically occurs due to an outside-to-inside swing path and an open clubface at impact. Trackman technology precisely measures these aspects, offering clear insights into what's happening with each swing.
During any round or when practicing on the virtual driving range, watch the numbers presented in real time following your shot. This immediate feedback is how you can rapidly solve your swing mechanics issues causing you to slice the ball too much.
1. Club Path and Face Angle Analysis
Trackman provides exact numbers for your club path and face angle. A club path that veers left with a face angle open relative to the path is a classic recipe for a slice. Trackman's detailed data allows you to see even slight deviations, helping you make the necessary adjustments.
2. Face-to-Path Metrics
This metric is crucial in understanding the relationship between where your clubface is pointing at impact and the direction the club is moving. Trackman displays these numbers clearly, guiding you to achieve a square or slightly closed face relative to your path for a draw.
3. Swing Direction
Trackman’s ability to measure the overall direction of your swing helps in aligning your swing path correctly. Adjusting your swing direction to a more in-to-out path is key in eliminating a slice.
4. Attack Angle
Trackman can show whether you are hitting the ball on an upward or downward trajectory. For drivers, an upward attack angle is preferred to maximize distance and reduce slice spin.
Practical Tips Using Trackman Data
The Football Kick Analogy
Use Trackman to monitor your swing path.
Aim for a path that mimics kicking a football towards the right post (for right-handers) to encourage an in-to-out path. Aim for a path as if towards the left goal post if you’re left-handed.
The immediate feedback from Trackman will show your progress.
Boxing Uppercut Visualization
Trackman’s data on body movement and swing path can guide you to integrate your whole body into the swing, much like an uppercut in boxing. Most casual golfers do not warm up before they start playing the first hole and this is why you often feel that you get your rhythm and are more in the groove after the first couple of holes.
This comprehensive approach to your swing will help in aligning your path and face angle correctly.
Adjusting Low Point with Trackman
Trackman measures where the club is at its lowest point in the swing arc. For optimal driver performance, you want this point to be slightly behind the ball. Use Trackman data to adjust your swing and achieve this ideal low point. This is important to consider for how much carry your drive gets and how that will affect your slice.
