Based on a minimum of three shots with a reference club - typically the client’s own club - a player’s swing profile, as well as ball flight profile, is determined. The swing profile  is primarily the player’s attack angle and club speed, which for the most part is not affected by changing clubs. 

Based on this swing profile, the TrackMan optimizer then determines the optimal launch conditions achievable by the client. The goal of the optimizer can be either longest carry or longest total distance.

The club fitter can now recommend equipment that enables the player to obtain closer-to-optimal launch parameters. The player hits a number of shots with the recommended equipment and based on the actual ball flight and dispersion plot, it is easy to deliver the best fit for the client. 

The player’s shot trajectories can also be displayed on top of the illustrated optimal trajectory area making it easy to see if test shots are optimal. To further determine which club performs best for the client, average trajectory for each club can also be displayed. 

Because of wind, temperature and pressure the actual trajectory will in general differ from the trajectory obtained under “normal” weather conditions. To eliminate the skewing of the data under actual conditions, a normalization option is available. Enabling normalization takes the actual measured ball launch conditions and runs it through the TrackMan trajectory model. This option allows the results to be completely independent of weather conditions, and thus easily comparable.
