How to use a GOLF SIMULATOR like a PRO

[@clauderamsey9904]

The closure rate explanation using the drifting analogy was really good.

[@jeremybartier9713]

Thanks Mr BORGMEIER! Fantastic discussion and helps with selecting a launch monitor!!!

[@clauderamsey9904]

Really well explained. As an engineer, I greatly appreciate the info.

Legendary video cleaning up Foresight v Trackman club head speed. As Immense as your physical frame

[@seancook2264]

Been using simulators since 2008. Originally the About Golf tech which was camera and laser then high speed camera tech and more recently Trackman and GC3. Use AoA and club to path quite a bit on Trackman and enjoy how the software communicates this with the Optimiser to better understand how I can improve my delivery. For me a fairly neutral to slightly 1-2 degree in-to-out path I need to feel like I am swinging 45* out to right field. Find the ball and club head + strike data helps to correlate the feel and real and enables more effective practice.

[@Ubotit_Unaymit]

I saw four noobs using your putting technique on the practice green today. They weren't doing well. I told them their shorts were too long. 😜

[@MartinBorgmeierLD]

at least now they understand the root cause lol

[@turfinteractionsgolf]

I'm someone who is an decent level golfer but for several reasons recently I've actually been playing more sim golf than real golf at the moment, that combined with using online video coaching has made my knowledge of sim and sim numbers pretty good. I'm in your Pro category but as Trackman doesn't use closure rate it's not a number I'm so familiar with. Actually one of the numbers i really pay attention to, especially with irons, is 'Low Point Distance", but that's a Trackman only number.

[@jsh_golf]

Yup! I’ve been working on driver swing and my club path with my UNEEKOR Eye Mini.

[@spectreracing1]

Perfect presentation of information. Never lost me, This was necessary for me like years ago. Great job!

[@MartinBorgmeierLD]

Glad it was helpful! Better now than never 🤠

[@utofbu]

This is incredible. I am a noob but I understood the theory behind all of it. Bookmarked for further use. I am so grateful for a resource like this. You could literally charge a subscription for these little mini-masterclasses. Like FR. Valuable info.

[@MartinBorgmeierLD]

You're very welcome! I’m just happy it was helpful and hope it will help a lot of people

I get it all, but ill absorb it more once i buy gc3 🎉

@@MartinBorgmeierLD I'm just a dude that hits the local range with a six pack and some friends... This actually has me interested in what is possible. Just saying. This was real concise and was super useful stuff. Cheers homie.

[@industrialpalletworx3548]

Well done presentation. If we only knew this information 20 plus years ago. I used to work with Ben Witter. He was Carl Wolters coach. I remember doing the speed training session similar to what is talked about today. At the time no one really knew the affects of spin and a lot of those data points. Back then it was all clubhead speed and distance. I personally am in the pro category. I know what they are and what they're measuring. It's making changes to get the numbers where they need to be that's the hard part.

[@MartinBorgmeierLD]

I agree! The first step is understanding the numbers 👍🏾

[@stefanfrenchmusic]

Outstanding presentation skills! Held my attention right the way through. I was hovering in and around the advanced area, but learned some new things from the pro category that will be nice to keep an eye on. Thanks!!

[@MartinBorgmeierLD]

Glad you enjoyed it and learned something new! 🚀

[@GregSwan01]

This video is fire! Your recent teaching videos are superb- the graphics are especially helpful. One more important data point- low point! My launch monitor doesn’t have that. But again- well done! This video is the bomb! (See what I did there…)

[@MartinBorgmeierLD]

very true, foresight doesn’t show low point unfortunately 😢

[@biglittlebirdie450]

Super helpful. Have owned a Quad for ages and learned quite a few things from this video. Can you do a follow-up video how you would test balls using these metrics or how to detect if something off with equipment

[@A_Topps90]

Hey Martin I saw you after my tornament at Belfair and took a pic with you great to finally meet you!!

[@Nate-yl8kl]

Thanks Martin for the video! I’m always looking at ball speed , AOA, Launch Angle , Face Angle , Face to path ( Advanced) keep up the great work !!

[@MartinBorgmeierLD]

glad you liked it!

[@garyhovey9305]

Another great video Marty! I love your techy deep dives on the launch monitor numbers! I use the MLM2 Pro which does not offer club face data but does offer lots of useful data!

[@MartinBorgmeierLD]

the data points it provides work pretty much the same way 👍🏾

[@Spikesbluecollargolf]

Ok Martin I am with you now. Been watching your stuff a while, you just gave me value and info, new Sub! Had my sim 18 months, consider my self an analytical old dude at 66. Long drive stuff not much interest for me as I just hurt myself trying to, lol But using most of the info you just shared, i took 16 strokes off my game, hit it further and straighter ever in my life. Technology fixed me after a lifetime of being terrible 😂😂 Closure rate never even looked! My swing speed doubt it matters!

[@MartinBorgmeierLD]

that’s some amazing feedback! thank you so much 🚀

[@Spikesbluecollargolf]

Martin good format, your edit was much better with graphics. You ever come through Spartanburg SC, come on by and most likely break the Blue Collar Golf Sim, lol I don’t think it could contain your ball speed. Mine it has no issues! I have never posted on your stuff, but you stepped up big man!

[@ChristopherDaffron]

Great video. I could talk about this kind of stuff forever. I love getting faster and I'm trying everything it takes to get there. I love playing golf, but nothing makes me feel better than hammering golf balls at maximum effort. Haha!

[@MartinBorgmeierLD]

glad you enjoyed it!

[@tuannguyenanh136]

amazing, straight forward, just like a physics class, i like it! please do more :D

[@MartinBorgmeierLD]

glad you like it! more to come 🤠

[@chaselytle6746]

I have a SkyTrak sim set up with GSPro. And this video was AWESOME!! I would like more video breakdowns like this!!! I know the editing prob sucks but it makes it sooo much easier to understand! I couldn’t tell you how many screenshots I took🤣 This is payable worth in my books!

[@MartinBorgmeierLD]

glad you enjoyed it. There’s so much more to this topic I could touch on 👍🏾

[@NothingOnEvents]

Love this vid. Definitely nowhere near pro although its interesting just to understand how much can go into swing analytics and the pros game for them to then consider and adjust their output. Sometimes i just count myself lucky i make contact with the ball, let alone the AoA lol

[@nathangoudie6555]

Love this video. Feeling a bit of a geek though as i use almost all of those data points!!

[@MartinBorgmeierLD]

Glad it was helpful and you’re geeking out 🤠

[@laxduck]

Damn this is actually a great resource video - as a data analytics guy gotta say love the content

[@MartinBorgmeierLD]

glad you enjoyed it! Share it with your friends bro 🤓😜

[@curiousape2368]

Great visuals Marty. I know the sims you use don’t measure shaft deflection, but when I discovered the GEARS measures I was shocked to see how toe droop (even > 50mm) changes where the driver clubface is at impact. Maybe for a next video (Super Geek Pro level)?

[@MartinBorgmeierLD]

absolutely, droop can go crazy! I actually made a Reel on that 🤠

[@LSandberg]

Been looking around for information for my Garmin and unable to find anything, this was a godsend thank you

[@MartinBorgmeierLD]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Feverdream7777]

Fantastic Presentation!!! As a lower handicapper, I gained leaps and bounds when I was taught on a Trackman about *Club Path, Face Angle, Face to Path and Angle of Attack* These are the MAIN four factors that dictate your shot shape. These got me to that next level of near scratch playing. They helped me understand what was going wrong on my significant miss hits. I am not quite advanced enough to worry too much about spin dynamics....but the idea of Closure Rate seems SUPER interesting to me.

[@MartinBorgmeierLD]

glad you enjoyed it and I hope you can put the new stuff to a test soon 🚀

[@ajfus2293]

Super informative! Thanks

[@MartinBorgmeierLD]

[@avy2084]

Spin loft is a nice metric I like to look at

[@MartinBorgmeierLD]

Definitely a good one!

[@richiedeez]

Awesome video!! Thank you for sharing. Simple concise information. I bet I have a high closure rate. I hope the JumboMax tour grip I will be trying out soon will help reduce that #. That was another awesome video you did as well #JumboMax

[@MartinBorgmeierLD]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you! Hope the grips work for you

[@billmertens6759]

You never lost me. Like to go deeper on dynamic loft. That appears to be my weakness. I've got idea club path, positive angle of attack, But, to much dynamic loft, and that's leading to higher than desirable spin. I'd like to get into the swing mechanics of what is causing that. I'm pretty sure that I'm loosing the crazy lag I used to have. But not sure how to get that back.

[@jeffclover1203]

You never lost me. I'm a 14HC who like many struggle with a slice. I'm primarily focused on: swing path, face angle (face to path), and ball speed (which with driver is getting my smash factor higher). I'm trying to get driver ball speed >160. Here's my issue - MOST of us amateurs can't afford the fancy launch monitors/golf sims to give us accurate data - so what do we do?

[@stuartkelly8578]

This was excellent, thank you.

[@Taters_OldManGolf]

What’s before the “NOOB” category??😮😮😂😂😂😂😂 I’m actually ordering and installing my first simulator this month. I can’t wait and hopefully you and I’ll will be playing in the next year or so🤔🤔👍👍

[@MartinBorgmeierLD]

not using any launch monitor at all maybe? 😂

[@pedroramsey]

would like to learn what the numbers should be for different swing speeds

[@MartinBorgmeierLD]

it depends on a lot of factors but knowing what they are and do is key to improve

[@tomfell4288]

great information. thanks

[@devloggertjes4903]

Hi Martin, Very well explained. Could you also explain how a high speed camera (like gc4) simulator compares to a dopler device (like trackman and flightscope). Which is more accurate. And how does flightscope measure clubheadspeed? I seem to have higher clubheadspeed on flightscope than on trackman.

[@kinderyt1177]

I was a slicer. I now have a slice preventable driver and I now have a clubpath -12 xD, going faaaar left

[@GolfRaffi]

Fantastic presentation. Question for you, my 8 iron has 36° loft and my launch ang. is 19,0 and my Dynamic loft is 24,4 and Spin Loft 28,6. How do I know what I should try to get to? This is from indoor trackman. Love from Sweden

[@bch9124]

Please increase your master volume. I can't hear you well while in the shower. 😅

[@MartinBorgmeierLD]

wait you’re watching this video IN THE SHOWER?? 😂

[@joe1195]

Exactly the same thing for me. Some people listen to music in the shower, we try to get more ball speed 😂

These get so confusing…..got the FAFO graph, the hot crazy matrix, now this….my brain can’t remember all this data

Is a +90 spin axis good? I just set a new PR

[@MartinBorgmeierLD]

which direction? 🤠

I wonder what is my spin loft when I shank the ball 😭😅 this was very helpful though. good stuff

[@MartinBorgmeierLD]

Glad it was helpful!

[@joshgunton2094]

What about impact location?

[@MartinBorgmeierLD]

pretty much in line with smash factor as mentioned in the video, but could also be seen as another individual point
