  • Issues with R-Motion

    Don't get me wrong, I am not the best golfer in the world (obviously lol) but I am running into consistent issues with ball flight path and chipping.

    Ball Flight Path:
    -R-Motion reads my swing on average in/out path 4*-6* with a closed club face 4*-6* so the ball will left to right naturally with that path. However, most shots almost always start right of target line resulting on 30 yds off target line on average. With some swings I intentionally attempt to leave my hands/face open, but I end up closed regardless. I also attempt to drive the ball to left-field (baseball reference), but the flight still starts right and ends ever more right. Example... one the range I adjust aim well left of the left side of the fairway and still end up on the right. Any suggestions? Clip and sensor aligned square with face and as I noted I adjust the aim in TGC well left of target.

    Chipping:
    -During my last 9-hole round I chipped on average 7 times per hole before the sensor would read the chip. Any advice on chipping? The shot types were played from fringe, fairway, rough, deep rough, and sand with all shot types aside from punch played.

    This tool will be great once I work out the kinks and I anticipate that, but than again it is golf and can get frustrating at times. However, as previously noted, it makes me swing more and I am making solid contact on a more consistent basis.

    Let me know, thanks.

    Randy. This is an IMU (inertia measurement unit) and there is no frame of reference. We look at the silent split second just before your back swing to see what is straight. I would recommend you keep the face square just before you start your swing and see if that helps. Force yourself to have that quiet period just before the back swing starts.

    Regardig chipping, I am unsure what is the problem. But if you enable your diagnostic mode (under settings) we will see your data and I will ask engineer to take a look. Go to driving range and take several chip shots. (They will likely work - since we don't do any sanity checks- when you enable the diagnostic mode and we will see if we have a problem with them. ). Thanks for your support.

      I use the Moe Norman/Graves Academy method of address. Requires the club being 3 to 4 inches. That might explain my hits are good but your program shows it only going 4 to 7 yards. Let me know, and I can return it. Or better if there is a fix it would be great!

      Bjrcmr we checked your swings. (You had the diagnostic mode on). The Norman/Graves method is not the issue. You may have the clip not oriented correctly and it looks like it is upside down. The 3D plot is clearly wrong. Please make sure the pins are looking towards you.

    Understood on the address piece and working on that. I will provide an update with the chipping later.

      Forgot to post earlier.... in regards to shots starting right (lefty), focused on a slight square pause just before beginning the backswing and this has minimized these issues. On the chipping piece, my pre-shot movement is to preset hands ahead of ball by slightly moving my hands forward (heard this referred to as hooding) and then subsequently starting backswing. I am working slight pause in there to give the sensor chance to catch up before i start may backswing and the no-reads have been minimized.

      Looking forward to someone sending a sponsored SkyTrak this way (currently assigned in Central Africa) so i can provide video, data, and feedback! LOL
