My local driving range installed Top Tracer system. Nice system, but when range balls are still the crappy old range balls then why use it? If the range would upgrade the golf balls then I'd have confidence the information is accurate.

The issue some are saying with distances is not with top tracer but with range balls. Might be worth you mentioning that when championing TT as for those who do t know range balls are designed to fly 10-20% shorter and could result in spring differences at both ends of the bag that result in different results than you see with premium balls, the range ball influence could help avoid less positive TT reviews.

Basically the putting equivalent of a regular launch monitor and it was so helpful in showing me easy areas of improvement from lining up the base of the putter properly to swing direction and speed consistency. If your putting game is a little up and down, defintely worth checking this out at a driving range if you see it!

Try one of the top of the range bushnells, i have one and a cheap shot scope. Yardages are very similar, but on the bushnell the zoom and lenz focus make it unbelievably clear and easy, finds and locks the flag etc. Similar to cheap and expensive binoculars. With my shot scope i have to have a couple of goes at the flag to make sure i haven't got a tree or something. Is the bushnell better ... probably not they both do a similar job, but man its a hell of a lot nicer to look through and easier. I do still use both. Mates grab the bushnell when checking out girls in the group in front though !!!!

The only place I really have access to top tracer is Top Golf. I would not go to top golf to do any meaningful practice at all. I've been once, and although the tech is nice, the place isn't. It's flipping expensive, they have servers there who are constantly bothering you to order something (even if your in the middle of a backswing.... ask me how I know) and they seem to frown upon bringing your own clubs. That's sadly the only time I have experienced top tracer and probably the last.

There is a premium for other features which i dont feel the need for.

It's horribly inaccurate. I get the same thing, it will say my driver goes 210 yards with 160 ball speed when the ball clears the back of the range net that's 230yds away. It can't even calculate any shots I hit with my 54 and 60 degree which makes it impossible for me to do the course simulators and I'm like 100yds or less into the green.

One of the favorite courses around me in South Florida put Top Tracer on its range and in my opinion its wack.

And its even worse when I just wanna loosen up before a round and getting charged premium it shittly hit balls lol
