I have had my SkyTrak for over 2 years, and have not used it anywhere near as much as a should. During the winter months I have the unit indoors where I can only hit short irons. I have started to dig into some of my numbers that I get and compare them with what should be optimal.
For example when I hit a well struck 8 iron I average around 112mph ball speed, and a launch angle of 26-27deg. I was looking at attached Trackman average chart, and it says that PGA tour players average a 18 deg launch angle with an 8 iron.
My question is am I really launching the ball 8-9 deg higher than the average tour pro, or is Skytrak and Trackman calculating these numbers differently?
