How does a golf TrackMan work?

Does TrackMan adjust for wind?
Once TrackMan creates this model under calm conditions it is then possible to calculate what will happen under calm conditions or any other type of condition. This means that TrackMan does not need to know the wind conditions when a golfer hits a shot. TrackMan will always measure the actual trajectory realtime.
Are TrackMan distances accurate?
TrackMan 4 measures and displays the full trajectory of any shot, from 6-foot (2 m) pitches to +350 yard (320 m) drives, pinpointing the landing position with an accuracy of 1½ feet (±0.5 m) at 160 yards (150 m) or 1 foot at 100 yards.
How does TrackMan track the ball?
TrackMan is using the Doppler principle, which explains why a signal bouncing off a moving object like a golf club or ball will change the frequency of the signal. The change in frequency is linearly proportional with the speed of the moving object relative to the signal receiver and transmitter.
What are good numbers on TrackMan?

An example lesson using Trackman
Lots of players and coaches these days are frightened of technology. I can definitely understand the fear – information overload can be a daunting thing which can hurt players for sure (paralysis by analysis). However, I think too many people associate technology with complexity.
The Lesson
A pupil of mine came to me recently complaining of the ball finishing right and flying low. He also was strapped up on his forearms, and said he has recently developed golfers elbow and Tennis elbow.
What we did
The nice part about all of this is, although we made a lot of positive changes, I only asked him one thing.
Why Tech?
One of the issues this pupil had was an awareness one. He had been listening to his 15 handicap friends for a month, and they had been telling him that he was swinging too much in to out, and that’s why he was hitting it right.
Take Home Notes
Tech doesn’t have to be scary. I showed this player only numbers he understood (path, distance, shot height) and gave him one simple thought.
