What is a Tracker and what is an Indicator?
In the 3DGolf app, we use 'Trackers' and 'Indicators.' This article describes the core differences between the two
What is a Tracker?
Trackers are the continuous body movements measured for specific body parts. Because a tracker measures movement throughout the entire motion, it contains many numerical values across the duration of a swing.
Example: Chest turn, pelvis sway, mid-hand sway, etc
What is an Indicator?
An Indicator is the value of a Tracker captured at a specific moment in time during the swing. Unlike a Tracker, an Indicator represents a single numerical value.
Example: Chest turn at the top, max pelvis sway in backswing, max hand speed in downswing
