Just watched a great video from TM at the Virtual PGA show and I believe the most important factor coming out of the video was the new indoor requirements that TM4 will be requiring that is really pretty amazing.
Essentially TM is saying that one will only require approx 15.5 feet wall to wall in order to get good TM measurements. These measurements include the gap to the front of the radar as well as the gap needed for the screen to wall.
I found this to be pretty amazing and the two big factors influencing this seem to be TM4 only needing to see one revolution of the ball and also that you now only need approx 6 feet from the front of the unit to the ball (this used to be 7). These two factors are pretty amazing and the sample that they gave in the slide was from a player with a 170 plus mph ball speed with driver.
TM also noted more exciting things to come that they could not disclose (I suspect one of them will be the new golf ball that they are developing).
I think these changes really open TM up to a lot more users where space was formerly a big issue and is one negative that I have heard about TM for over 7 years now. I acknowledge that pricing is still a consideration with the indoor unit costing $19,995.

as I needed to change my lighting around a little to move things back from 8 feet. I guess impact being closer to the unit allows for the camera to get a better look at the golf ball.
