SGT is back to filming! After being away and moving locations we have come back with a bang. In todays video I put TrackMan up against GC Quad to see which performs better in an indoor setting.

Welcome back!
Angle of attack difference generally caused from Trackman reading the COM of the club head, which is still coming down relative to the face at the moment of impact, where quad reads the face hence the more upwards AoA
Quad takes several pictures of ACTUAL impact so if I were a betting man regarding strike locations, and spin based on face to path and face direction I would wager that quad is more precise indoors.
I think it’s a little inaccurate to say that they are as good as eachother. The quad is superior in every metric.
Radar technology is never going to be as accurate and that is why quad is the industry standard. And to say you can’t know what’s right..? The quad has 4 cameras purely designed to track the impact location; the angle that the centre of the ball rising… the only reason why anyone would say that TM is equal to GC is if they use TM for fittings instead of another business that used GC.
Great to see you back master Greg love all your stuff.
Great video! Club data is a no brainer. Quad accuracy is umatched due how different both technologies work. Indoor I would say that Quad is clearly ahead overall. Outdoor things set closer
Hey mate, welcome back & loving the new studio, looking fwd to the upcoming content. Q- do u offer any tips / advice on golf swing (remotely-I’m in Bris)? Trying to get driver speed up from 90mph to 100-105mph & have always been interested in your effortless & effectiveness swing in achieving 100+ club speed….trying to make big changes with my swing but speeds are not improving
So glad you are back! Was worried! Hope you get to the new Titleist irons soon!
We need a video tour of the new digs, Greg.
new digs starting to shape up nicely, might be coming back to you soon as my Wilson CBs have arrived and I'm not convinced they've got the lie angles right at the factory…absolutely loving the Nippons you fit me in by the way, I've finally got my swing dialed into them and shot one of my best rounds of the year on Wednesday, cheers and thanks again!
Great video GB!
You need to look at the standard deviation for some of those shots. There may not be the differences you presumed.
I play on trackman all the time, your data seems way off, like your at below sea level. Take for instance pause it @ 12:30, you have 99.6 club speed, 146.6 ball speed, 1990 spin rate, 11.2, launch angle, 1.47 smash factor, with the 202.8 carry, 237.9 total?? Your settings must be off or your truckman has an issue. Like I said, I play on it all the time, a couple days per week and with those numbers carry would be 245-250, total would be 270-275. I just like quad, last time I played on quad I get super deflated spin rate numbers and carry numbers that would never happen on trackman or on the golf course. For instance, on quad, I was hitting a paradym driver. 96 mph swing speed, was giving me 1,400-1,700 spin, 1.52 smash factor which is impossible, with 295 yard total. My driver swing speed is right around 100 or a couple mph less. I definitely don’t drive the ball even 270 yards on the course, trackman usually gives me somewhere in the neighborhood of 265-270 which I think is more feasible.
thanks for the video. I think you were comparing total spin (spin rate) on trackman vs backspin on the quad. That's ok when the spin axis is low, but it isn't always low.
A better comparison for indoor performance would be using the Titlest RCT balls. I almost never have any italicized spin rate any more after switching to RCT and the spin has been within 100 rpm different between trackman and GC.
Around 100mph swing speed its highly unlikely the ball will carry that far with a hooky draw as shown on the quad. Trackman seems more reasonable. According to TXG at 100mph the optimal distance is 270 YARDS and thats the optimal. A hooky draw goes 236 Metres carry thats around 258 yards seems rather inflated by the quad to me.
Thank you for the comparison video. May I know your distance from ball to the screen? At least for spin axis reading, the longer distance the better so I was wondering. Also after using RCT balls, have you still encountered any italicized total spin readings for Trackman? Thanks.
