TrackMan Webinar – Ball Conversion

Ball Conversion allows you to convert any ball type to a premium golf ball. No premium balls available at your facility? No problem. Learn how to covert from range ball to premium golf ball in this TrackMan webinar.

The Ball Conversion feature available in the TPS software and iOS app allows the user to convert the launch characteristics of any ball type to a premium golf ball. Ball Conversion will adjust the launch conditions (ball speed, launch angle, and spin rate) based on the ball type entered and transform them into that of a premium ball. You no longer need to worry if the ball you are fitting or teaching with spins more, launches higher, or has a lower ball speed. Ball Conversion will make these calculations for you.
