Was super excited to get the unit. Came in Friday and finally after trail and error got the golf club game setup. Played 1st round tonight and skytrak is very inaccurate. I counted at 1 point 20 shot before it read a chip. It never read any putts and for some reason it would go into putting mode 50 yards off the green. Distances weee way off. I haven't hit a 7 iron 75 yards since I was 7 yet skytrak thinks my 7 iron goes 75 yards. Hitting in the man cave with no restrictions on swing. Any suggestions

it takes a long time to get use to hitting indoors. Also, hitting off a mat really can reduce club head speed and make you pull the ball - in return in a few weeks you will more clean shot then ever before.
I have owned a skytrak since May - and love it. I use it just about every day but below are some things I noticed.
1. The better player you are the more accurate skytrak will be. Skytrak really makes your bad or medicore hits worse. I have a friend who is near scratch and skytrak is deadly accurate.
2. Get use to hitting indoors. In the beginning I only used 8 iron and below. Then my hybrids and start few swings outside before you swing inside.
3. Get use to hitting off a mat. Fat shots off a mat will make your ball go left and about 30 yards short
4. Hardwire you TGC server, have a very strong wirelesss connection near the skytrak and keep the skytrak battery full. I moved my router next to the skytrak and hardwired the TGC PC and never get a disconnect. Had my first no read today in about 2 weeks.
The sktyrak is great. Since I got the skytrak my game score has only gone down about 2 strokes but I am almost always near the fairway and lose very few golf balls now. I got to play 2 weekends ago and played 36 holes and lost one ball. This is on a course that has water on 40 percent of the holes, trees on the other 30%. Last year when I started playing again I would go thru 4 to 6 golf balls a round there.

No I don't get tired of them, because it is VERY frustrating until you are educated to get things going properly. For example I never knew why my irons would read properly, but my wedges were always 10-15 yards longer than outdoors. Guy said it was because of the mats and the bounce of the wedges. I didn't know that. But without knowing that I always wondered why I could hit a 54 100 yards indoors and lucky to get 85 outside.

Drop kicking a wedge of a mat is different that fatting it on grass for sure. The SkyTrak is pretty damn accurate if used correctly and with some common sense turned on. I have moved to a GC2 recently & still would have no problem practicing on a SkyTrak... We all jump the gun when we don't get the results/feedback we want. When I got my GC2 I could not get it line up correctly.... Had my wife watch me hit 3 shots and she said " You are pulling the ball you putz!" I wasn't starting the ball on line... but didn't want to think that...

The mat has a massive part to play as i have recently found out. Ive been using a very good mat but is designed for range use and if you slightly catch it a tiny bit before the ball it was killing my ball speeds and my scores were horrendous for me. I now have the truestrike mat and it plays like real grass its awesome and given me my confidence back in myself. It does still punish you for hitting it heavy but it it more realstic. I had a mat that you can put a tee in and i found that it was just to unrealistic on bad shot exteme pulls and very short. My setup is now complete and i am happy although my wife isnt.
