To sum everything I have learned in one giant [...]

TrackMan is an amazing little orange device that uses doppler technology to calculate pretty much everything you would ever want to know about your golf swing. Unfortunately TrackMan can not calculate a proper media delivery method from their website – or I would have linked to them.
TrackMan is used by nearly every tour player [...]
