Why instant ready makes the on-course golf experience so much better

Instant Ready mode has been part of the Trackman 4 suite of functions for six months and it’s making a real difference to how the top golfers play and practice on course

With Instant Ready, the Trackman 4 can track shots in mere seconds.

We’ve done this by creating a standby mode between shots. Once Instant Ready mode is enabled in the software, the standby mode is initiated by closing the back leg of the Trackman 4 unit when you bring it onto the fairway.

You then open the back leg again, positioning the Trackman like you normally would without needing to calibrate and set a target line. Following a few seconds, it’s ready to provide you with all the tailored data you require from your next swing.

The unit maintains its Wi-Fi connection to the iOS device, ensuring that it’s ready to track on-course quicker than you can take your next shot.

You will get all the data you normally would, aside from data parameters that require a target line — such as Club Path.

You will also be able to normalize the numbers and compare them to actual data like Carry Distance, to gain an accurate picture of how you are performing in current weather conditions.

Here’s how it works:

• Start up the Trackman 4 unit as normal

• Begin a session

• Select the Instant Ready mode (under the Trackman icon in the top menu)

• Close the back leg of the Trackman 4 -> the unit goes into standby mode and maintains its Wi-Fi connection to the iOS device

• Bring the Trackman 4 unit to the course, extend the back leg again and the unit is ready to track in just eight seconds
