Should I buy an HMT?

[Hemi]

hello again!

i have the opportunity for purchasing a used hmt for a reasonable price....what are the benefits over the GC2 alone, that I have currently.

cheers

Gc2 is for ball data which matters for simulator game and for club fitting/ game improvement in some degree.

Club data is all about club fitting and game improvement.

If you want to see how you are hitting the ball then yes.

It's the most efficient way to improve in my opinion. Gotta start with strike and delivery and work backwards from there. GC2 is great, but it is essentially just hitting balls on a range with the exception of seeing everything about the ball flight which is a huge help but to really understand and improve strike is King as they say.

Unless you know how to affect your HMT Numbers, you probably will need to get lessons from a teacher that knows and uses hmt. The fixes are not always intuitive. For example, with shanky golf, he brought my aoa down on driver by getting be to stop at adding a bunch of secondary tilt at impact. I needed to shallow the shaft more which you see in the hmt data as more toe up typically. Good luck!

So the more toe up your lie angle is at impact, the steeper you are essentially? I am usually 4-5 degree toe up with my irons so interested in learning more

[Stingreye]

Toe down is steep with the shaft in transition for me. Toe up means that I shallowed the shaft in transition. Typically this is the case for my swing but not sure if that’s typical for everyone or just me.

[Stingreye]

Also I mean steep with the shaft meaning it’s more vertical vs laid off. I am not referring to a steep AOA.

Reading my original comment, the aoa became more negative (down) when I stopped hanging back and adding secondary tilt at impact. So these were two different t issues I was dealing with. 1). Hitting up with irons and up too much with driver and 2) steepening the shaft vs shallowing the shaft in transition.

I think if you can get one at a good price go for it. The more information the better. I think the only draw back is that you have to mark your clubs which is not a big deal really. You can then watch TM university videos to help you understand the measurements better. As noted above the info can get overwhelming, but you can pick out what info is important for you.
