I read the article last night. I thought it was well done and gave a novice golfer insight to how to get better, while getting the better player information that can take them up a level.

The D plane, trackman, enso, MATT, 3-D, I know it has been said here ad nauseam but it is the future of golf instruction.
While the information is out there, very few take advantage of it. There have always been a lot of forward thinking types in golf but the tradition bound thinking always seems to win out because there really hasn't been tangible evidence to get better another way. This information, when gotten to the masses, will change that.
Take a look around, you already see blowback to this information, calling it "swing by numbers" and decrying the lack of "feel". All these numbers and things do is enhance feel, they make you a "feel player". Why? Because you can distill the feels down to what really works and not do a lot of guessing. More discovery of your own game takes place and not wasted on guesses and "seems as ifs"
My own game has never been this consistent ball striking wise, no wildly missed shots, keeping it in front of me for the most part. The kicker is I know exactly what happened in MY swing to cause a shot to go off line and I can fix it, keep it functional and not get bogged down by hours on the range guessing at different feels. That is what Trackman (and the out toss plus the release information) has done for my game.
Good Golf in 2012.
