ロリー・マキロイは、全英オープンを前に、自身のスイング感覚を研ぎ澄ますために弾道測定器「TrackMan」のデータにどのように頼っているかを説明した。また、テクノロジーへの過度な依存が、変化の激しいコンディションでのパフォーマンスを損なうのではないかという懸念に対しても見解を述べた。
マキロイは火曜日の記者会見で、数値はデータと自身の身体感覚を結びつけるための基準点として役立っていると語った。
「TrackManに特定の数値が表示されると、何をすべきかという感覚が得られます」とマキロイは述べ、このデバイスがスイングの小さな変化を早期に特定する助けになると付け加えた。
「私にとって、スイングが少し乱れた時に感覚を取り戻すための素晴らしいツールだと感じています」と彼は語った。マキロイはトーナメント期間中、スイングを大きく作り変えるのではなく、微調整のために測定器を使用している。
