TrackMan™ once again selected by The R&A to Monitor and Analyze Player Shot data during The Open Championship 2007

During every practice and competition round, TrackMan™ Tour System collected player shot data on two holes.  The data, some of which was also broadcast live to television viewers around the world, included among others the following:

•    Club head speed
•    Club head angle of attack
•    Club head path
•    Ball launch speed
•    Ball launch direction (both vertical and horizontal)
•    Ball launch spin
•    Carry distance and dispersion
•    Full trajectory information 

Klaus Eldrup Jorgensen, President of TrackMan, stated: “It is satisfying for us at TrackMan to continue furthering our relationship with The R&A through serving them as a TrackMan™ customer and having been chosen by them for the second consecutive year to measure and analyze ball flight and club movement data during The Open Championship.  At TrackMan, we have made it our mission to develop the worlds most useful and accurate measurement and analysis technologies to be used during the worlds top sporting events.  TrackMan™’s selection by The R&A for utilization during golf’s oldest and most important event, The Open Championship, provides the TrackMans team a feeling of great achievement.”

Dr. Steve Otto of The R&A remarked, “TrackMan™ has proven itself over several accuracy assessments and test events, including last year’s Open Championship. We use TrackMan technology as part of our ongoing extensive research and testing.  We are highly confident in the system and look forward to reviewing the TrackMan™ data following The Open Championship so that we may better understand how today’s players approach our golf courses and play the game.  In particular, the use of the system on the 6th hole down Hogan’s Alley will lead to some interesting data.”
