<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">On today’s show we have with us a good friend of the Brain Booster in the shape of Mike Malone from Trackman to discuss technology in general and how it can potentially be either a FRIEND or a FOE to your game.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span><span style= "font-size: 14.0pt;">Over the past 10 to 15 years launch monitors such as Trackman have become a staple part of the coaching diet.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Most people who go for lessons now expect they will be assisted by a coach using a launch monitor but what are the potential pitfalls to what can be an overwhelming array of information?</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span><span style= "font-size: 14.0pt;">In the early days many people fell into the trap of drowning in the numbers. Thinking that more information would be better for their game.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Yet as Mike explains, the really great coaches had an instinctive ability to limit the numbers to just a few key performance indicators.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span><span style= "font-size: 14.0pt;">We had a really great conversation about the very best ways of using technology and how there are many myths and misconceptions of what actually DOES change in your swing from shot to shot.</span></p> <ul> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">What is CONSISTENT in your swing?</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">There may be some surprises here</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span><span style= "font-size: 14.0pt;">How you can improve the BIG THREE</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Ground contact</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Strike Location</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font
