What goes into a Trackman home golf simulator?
From indoor accuracy to recreating the world's golf courses, Trackman's Jakob Munk takes PlayBetter behind the technology - and shares what to consider when bringing the experience home.
Trackman Editorial TeamWhat does it take to bring the Trackman experience home?
In this episode of Golf Tech Weekly, hosts Marc Sheforgen and Daniel Fitzpatrick sit down with Jakob Munk, Trackman's head of product for indoor golf, to explore that question - from choosing a launch monitor to getting more out of the software.
The discussion explores Trackman iO: why it was built specifically for indoor golf, how radar and cameras work together, and what separates it from Trackman 4. The team also covers practical questions about room dimensions, software packages and support after installation.
Behind the Numbers
Behind every shot captured and course played is a team working to improve the experience. In the episode, Munk also discusses the engineering effort behind Trackman and the confidence golfers expect when investing in a home simulator.
"When the consumer makes that investment, and it is a premium investment, they're buying that peace of mind and knowing that the numbers are trusted. It's dead-on accurate and they never have to second guess that decision," he says.
"We have 400 engineers around me here at headquarters who are dedicated every single day to that overall mission."
There's a look behind the scenes of Virtual Golf, too, where drone scans, thousands of photographs and artists recreating individual trees help bring real courses into the simulator.
For anyone considering a home setup, the episode offers a closer look at the technology, decisions and ongoing development behind the experience.
