During all three practice rounds of the 2006 US OPEN, ISG’s TrackManâ?¢ Tour System was used on the 9th and 12th tees, alternating, for measuring competitor tee shots. The purpose was for the USGA to acquire accurate ball flight and club presentation data for the world’s top players.
Jim Hubbell, a research engineer for the USGA, said, "The U.S. Open is a great opportunity for the USGA to measure launch conditions and swing performance of the best golfers in the world. The TrackManâ?¢ system has given us the ability to do this accurately and efficiently."

Headquartered in Vedbaek, Denmark, ISG A/S is the developer and owner of the TrackManâ?¢ system. Based on Doppler radar technology, TrackManâ?¢ measures exact 3-dimensional club movement and provides highly accurate data on the ball launch, ball flight, and ball landing coordinates of any golf shot. In addition, TrackManâ?¢ measures actual spin rate of the ball without marking it and features outstanding portability, reliability, and ease of use. As such, TrackManâ?¢ has set a new standard for golf ball and golf club measurement and is currently in use worldwide by almost every major golf club, golf shaft, and golf ball manufacturer, as well the USGA and the R&A. With recent software upgrades, an improved price, and both FCC and CE approval, ISG is making the TrackManâ?¢ technology available to a wider range of customers including golf clubs, golf academies, golf ranges, club-fitters, tour professionals, and serious players.
