Whether you’re just getting into golf or you’re working hard to lower your handicap, chances are you’ve heard the buzz around Trackman technology. But how does it actually stack up against traditional coaching methods? And which is right for your game?
At GolfSpace, we blend the best of both worlds — and in this blog, we’re breaking down the pros, cons, and key differences to help you understand how each method works, and what they can do for your swing.
Traditional Golf Coaching: The Human Eye and Experience
Traditional coaching relies heavily on:
• Visual observation
• Feel-based instruction
• Decades of experience
• Repetition and drills
A PGA coach might watch your swing and give feed back based on ball flight, body mechanics, and posture — often referencing what they“see” in real time. This method can be incredibly effective, especially when working with a seasoned pro who knows how to communicate clearly and adjust your swing based on subtle cues.
Strengths:
• Personal, tailored instruction
• In-depth understanding of feel, tempo, and course management
• Encourages awareness of your own body and swing
Limitations
• Relies on visual estimates
• Progress may be slower without clear feedback
• Inconsistencies harder to identify and quantify
Trackman Coaching: Data-Driven Improvement
GolfSpace exclusively use’s Trackman, takes coaching to a new level. This radar-based launch monitor provides:
• Ball speed, spin rate, launch angle, carry distance, face angle, club path — and much more
• Real-time, high-definition feedback
• Slow-motion swing video integration
• Overlayed data comparisons with tour players
It’s like having a lab for your golf game — and it’s revolutionised how coaches and players improve performance.
Strengths:
● Instant, accurate feedback you can see and trust
● Identifies patterns and errors invisible to the eye
● Speeds up progress by removing guesswork
● Perfect for tracking long-term improvement

Limitations:
● Can be overwhelming without proper interpretation
● Maybe come too “data-heavy” without context
● Still needs a skilled coach to apply insights effectively
So… Which Is Better?
The real magic happens when you combine both.
At GolfSpace, we only use Trackman, not to replace traditional coaching, but to enhance it. It validates what the coach sees, adds clarity to what the player feels, and provides measurable progress.
It’s no longer about guessing what went wrong — it’s about knowing exactly what happened, and how to fix it.

Whether you’re:
• A beginner trying to make clean contact
• A mid-handicapper chasing consistency
• Or a scratch player refining shot shape and spin
Trackman coaching insights gives you the tools to train smarter — and give you the experience to train better.
