The Trackman x Zen Golf Integration Explained

Overview

The Zen Golf × Trackman integration connects Trackman simulator course data with Zen Golf’s active slope platforms, allowing the physical ground beneath the player to automatically match the lie shown in Trackman before each shot.

This enables golfers to practice and be coached from real uphill, downhill, sidehill, and compound lies indoors, while Trackman captures full club and ball performance data.

Note: Swing Stage 1 (force plate model) shown in videos. Swing Stage 2 (2026) offers faster movement for non-force plate customers.

What Is the Trackman x Zen Golf  Integration?

How the Integration Works

  1. Trackman determines the ball’s lie and slope using simulator course data
  2. That terrain information is sent to Zen’s active slope platform
  3. The Zen platform physically tilts to recreate the same lie
  4. The player hits the shot while Trackman records performance metrics

The visual simulation, physical environment, and performance data are all synchronized to the same shot.

Why This Matters

The integration allows Trackman data to be interpreted within real environmental constraints, rather than on flat indoor mats.

For golf, this means:

  • Performance data reflects functional adaptation, not just technique
  • Movement patterns can be evaluated under real balance and ground-interaction demands
  • Indoor practice transfers more effectively to on-course performance

What the Integration is

It is:

  • A physical environment that matches Trackman simulator lies
  • A way to contextualize Trackman data using real slopes
  • A tool for representative, transfer-focused practice

It is not:

  • A replacement for Trackman
  • A visual simulation only
  • A flat practice environment

Summary

The Zen Golf × Trackman integration transforms indoor golf from a flat, idealized setting into a physically representative practice environment, allowing coaches and players to evaluate performance data in the same conditions in which golf is actually played.
