Golf improvement no longer has to rely on feeling alone. With today’s advanced launch monitor technology, golfers can make smarter, faster improvements by understanding the numbers behind every shot. At Another Nine, our simulators are powered by the TrackMan iO system, one of the most accurate and tour-trusted indoor golf technologies available.
Whether you’re a beginner looking to build consistency or a low-handicap player dialing in precision, here’s how to use simulator data at Another Nine to actually improve your swing, not just hit balls.
Why TrackMan iO Data Matters for Swing Improvement
TrackMan iO uses dual radar and high-speed camera technology to measure what your club is doing and how the ball responds. Unlike older simulators that rely on estimates, TrackMan captures real, actionable data that mirrors outdoor performance.
At Another Nine, this means:
-
True-to-life ball flight
-
Reliable club and ball metrics
-
Consistent data you can track over time
The key isn’t seeing numbers, it’s knowing which numbers matter and how to use them.
The Most Important Swing Metrics to Focus On
1. Club Path & Face Angle
Best for: Fixing slices, hooks, and directional misses
-
Club Path shows whether you’re swinging in-to-out or out-to-in
-
Face Angle tells you where the clubface is pointing at impact
If you’re slicing the ball, TrackMan iO will clearly show an out-to-in path with an open face. Instead of guessing, you can make intentional adjustments and instantly see the results on the simulator.
Pro tip: Focus on improving face control first, small changes here often lead to big improvements.
2. Attack Angle
Best for: Improving compression and distance
Attack angle measures whether you’re hitting down or up on the ball:
-
Negative attack angle = ideal for irons
-
Positive attack angle = ideal for driver
TrackMan iO makes it easy to see if you’re scooping irons or hitting down correctly. At Another Nine, many players see immediate distance gains just by adjusting this one metric.
3. Ball Speed & Smash Factor
Best for: More distance without swinging harder
-
Ball Speed = how fast the ball leaves the clubface
-
Smash Factor = efficiency of contact
If your swing speed stays the same but ball speed increases, you’re striking the ball better. This is one of the fastest ways to add distance, especially indoors where consistency matters.
4. Launch Angle & Spin Rate
Best for: Optimizing carry and stopping power
TrackMan iO shows:
-
Launch angle
-
Backspin and sidespin
-
Peak height and descent angle
This data is incredibly useful for:
-
Dialing in iron distances
-
Finding the right driver setup
-
Understanding why certain shots balloon or fall out of the sky
It’s also why TrackMan is trusted by tour players and fitters worldwide.
How to Practice Smarter at Another Nine
Use Data Trends, Not One-Off Shots
One swing doesn’t tell the full story. TrackMan iO allows you to:
-
View shot averages
-
Track dispersion patterns
-
Compare sessions over time
At Another Nine, this makes every practice session more intentional, and far more effective than a traditional range.
Combine Feels With Facts
Indoor golf is most powerful when you pair feel with feedback. Try making one swing change at a time, then use the data to confirm what actually improved.
This approach helps you:
-
Avoid overcorrecting
-
Build repeatable mechanics
-
Trust your swing when you take it outdoors
Simulated Courses = Real-World Practice
Practicing on virtual courses forces you to:
-
Hit specific targets
-
Manage distances
-
Shape shots under pressure
With TrackMan iO at Another Nine, this type of practice translates directly to better on-course performance, especially when outdoor conditions aren’t ideal.
Why Another Nine Is the Best Place to Practice With Data
Not all indoor golf experiences are the same. Another Nine combines:
-
TrackMan iO technology
-
A premium, distraction-free environment
-
Data-driven practice without the intimidation factor
Whether you’re practicing solo, playing with friends, or working toward a handicap goal, our simulators give you the tools to improve faster—and actually understand your swing.
Final Thoughts: Let the Numbers Work for You
Golf improvement doesn’t have to be complicated. When you use the TrackMan iO data at Another Nine the right way, every shot becomes feedback, and every session becomes progress.
Instead of guessing what went wrong, you’ll know.
Instead of hoping for improvement, you’ll see it.
If you’re ready to practice smarter, indoor golf at Another Nine is where data meets real results.
