How Manual Putting Works

Manual putting includes players putting when they are on the green and outside of the gimme range. The default gimme range will be 8 feet..The green stimp is 9' and firmness is medium- all settings can be found on website in advance of the tournament.

We strongly encourage you to experiment with- and practice your putting on the sim, in order to get used to it and gain a feel for what works best for yourself.

Use the following conversion table as a guide to see how much more/less speed is required to adjust for slope changes.

Updated Power & Spin Ranges As Of January 2024

Trackman introduced power and spin ranges for shots played outside the fairway. The positive feedback we’ve received so far reinforces how this feature makes the Trackman Virtual Golf experience even more fair and realistic.

After further data analysis and testing, we've fine-tuned these power and spin ranges. The updated ranges maintain the importance of hitting the fairway while still demanding a high degree of skill on shots from off the fairway:

 

Semi-rough: 97–99% Power, 80–87% Spin

Rough : 89–94% Power, 70–85% Spin

Deep rough : 75–84% Power, 50–70% Spin

Players will encounter similar power and spin ranges on shots from the sand, mulch and other non-fairway surfaces.

 

During Gameplay: Addressing Untracked Shots

Issue: Shot Not Tracked

If you find that a shot hasn't been registered, here's how to rectify the situation:

  • Reattempt the Shot: The player will need to re-hit or re-putt until the shot is successfully tracked.

  • For Fringe Putting: When putting from the fringe of a green, ensure you've selected the putter in the club selection before taking your shot.

If the problem persists and you're still experiencing difficulties with shot tracking, please refer to the article below for further guidance:
