Basic principles of how target mode works
When connected to a Vertex SmartCore device, alongside an upgraded subscription package, you will have access to the Target Mode button (Bottom of your screen), this opens a blank “Target Session” screen.
Target Mode allows the golfer to gain valuable insight in relation to their stroke when comparing against a known target. Particular measures include…
- Static Aim / Dynamic Aim
- Takeaway Torque and Gear Effect Twist
- Path Direction (Relative to Target)
There are two main suggested methods of measuring and improving your stroke when it comes to Target Mode.
Improvement:
Simply line up the putter to the Target (Use an additional Aim / Alignment Laser) or known method of lining up square to your target.
Use this as a known reference of being lined up to the target and putt, doing this on a continual basis will help you to understand & learn proper Aim/Alignment.
Measurement / Analysis:
To measure pre-existing Aim Alignment or Aim Bias, a user can register the target in parallel to the known target. Make sure that point at which you register the target is the same distance away as the intended target. It is recommended when measuring Aim that no ground references are in place to aid the user in Aim / Alignment.
BLE RANGE – The unit(s) you have, will vary in signal strength / range. (Tour Series ~100m) (M20/M22 Series ~4m, in some cases depending on conditions this might be more).
