TrackMan A/S is a Danish technology company that develops, manufactures and sells 3D ball flight measurement equipment used in sports. Today, TrackMan A/S is a world leader in ball flight measurement and the company is considered to have set the industry standards for accuracy in golf.

The TrackMan Radar Unit provides a technology that has conceptually changed the way players think, practice and get fitted for golf clubs. Essentially golf is about consistency, a concept well defined due to TrackMan. Consequently all major club and ball manufactures as well as the best professionals and teachers in the world have embraced the TrackMan technology.

Lexi Thompson, the newest and youngest member of the LPGA Tour is featured in an addition of the television show, “Sport Science” by ESPN. Lexi became the youngest player ever, to win on the LPGA Tour. Shortly after her initial victory, she was asked to appear on “Sport Science” to help define the difference between today’s technology in equipment design (clubs and balls) vs. equipment from the 1970′s.

George Pinnell owner of the George Pinnell Golf Academy, was asked by Base Production, Burbank, CA., to participate in analyzing the difference between today’s technology and that of yesteryear. Pinnell used his TrackMan system as Lexi used her talented swing with the “old” and “new” equipment to determine what, if any, difference’s there is in performance between today’s clubs and balls vs. those of the 1070′s.

Pinnell use’s the outstanding technology of the TrackMan in his every day teaching at the George Pinnell Golf Academy in Rowland Heights, CA. Pinnell worked with Bubba Watson and Dustin Johnson on another segment of “Sports Science,” last summer.

George Pinnell was invited to be a part of ESPN’s Base Productions show titled Sport Science that feature Alexis Thompson, the 16 year old phenom and recent first time winner of the Navistar LPGA Classic. Alexis was recently approved to play full time on the LPGA Tour when the Commissioner granted her request to become a member of the LPGA at age 16 rather than the Tour Policy of 18.

The Sport Science segment with Lexi, was centered on how an elite player can repeat a golf swing with such precision that few can obtain. Sport Science was also interested to compare Lexi’s current club’s with those manufactured in the 70′s. To do that they brought in Pinnell with his TrackMan and provided the data that Sport Science will use in their segment on Lexi.

Pinnell said, “Lexi’s swing speed topped out at 105 with a ball speed in the 154 mph range. Her balance is outstanding and contribute’s to her being so consistent with her path and face.”

Pinnell was involved in an earlier episode of Sport Science featuring Bubba Watson and Dustin Johnson.
