TPS 7.2 - software subscription or not ?

[Patator100]

Hello

TPS 7.2 is available for free on TM website. If your wish to use VG2, price is 1000USD per year (2000 for 3 years).
I read that if one does not buy the software update, for sure VG2 won't be accessible (except one course) but some "cloud features" won't be accessible neither. For instance storing video and data together online.
What other features are not avaible without the yearly subscription ?
For instance, is it possible to run a session with a customer (for fitting) or with a friend (hehehe lucky guy) and then upload the session data (without videos) on the cloud, so that he can access his data from home on mytrackman.com

I'm planning to use TGC2019 (if I manage to use TPS 6.3 and 7.2 on the same PC), so no immediate use of VG2 (but for sure a bit later). So, appart from VG2, is it worh taking the subscription (I'm not a PGA coach, only a occasional fitter and sim player)

thanks for your advice !

I don’t think you will get Tracy and I had thought that impact location and putting might also be things you will not get access to? Might be wrong on this. TM university and tour player data and library likely also not available. Don’t think you will get to download data either over cloud.

Forgot to ask about you new TM4? I think you noted that you were waiting on it to be delivered. I think when you buy a new TM unit that the software and hardware subscriptions are included for the first year?

• Impact Location, Virtual Golf and Putting features only work on TrackMan 4

Yes I have a new trackman software free 1st yr ... I will def bypuy the 2 for 3 in my opinion well worth it

Agree completely. Ever since they added virtual golf it made buying the subscription worth it for us home users as this is a feature that is beneficial to us. A lot of the other stuff was historically geared towards pros and coaches etc.
