TrackMan 4 vs FlightScope X3

Let’s do a comparison of the features of both the Trackman 4 and Flightscope X3 units. These are probably the leading two units on the Launch Monitor market.Firstly Trackman 4 which can be   flightscope x3 reviews  used indoor and out and utilises a dual radar system. The easiest way to think about this is that one radar is tracking what the ball is doing on impact and through the air, and the other radar is tracking what the club is doing.

TrackMan 4 measures:

With the TrackMan 4 they’ve also introduced some impact parameters, where the unit will measure how central your strike was (toe/heel) how high or low depth wise on the face, and your dynamic lie at impact, which can be very helpful for club fitting amongst other things.

It’s also the first Trackman to be able to measure putting, much like the Sam Puttlab technology, and others, but it’s going to give you all your relevant data in one unit. The putting data can also be synced up with video, so you can see the data that went along with each video your making. Trackman has an app which also allows you to integrate your video and swing/putting numbers, compare different swings against each other and also connect up to six different cameras, plus screencast to your iPhone or iPad. Battery wise you’ve also got 4 hours with a full charge, which should see you through most range sessions.

Portability is strong with this unit as it’s easily taken to the range and pretty easy to set-up to get accurate feedback. There’s a lot of great features with the Optimiser, Combine and Wedge and Driver test areas, and it doesn’t take long to learn how to set-up and record your dataTrackMan 4 course play

They’ve now got 50 plus courses in an ever-growing library, the graphics and functionality are good and you can also challenge yourself, family and friends on the Closest to the Pin, Capture the Flag, and Hit it sections of the software.

All in all, it’s everything you would expect from Trackman, who have been in the launch monitor game for a while now. Pricing wise Trackman 4 is around $19,000 USD for the indoor only license, and $25,000 USD for the outdoor version.The Flightscope X3 is very similar in terms of the quality of the product and the amount of useful information it can tell you about your game.It uses what it call’s Fusion Tracking, which incorporates 3D radar tracking and some image processing.
