Setting Boost in TGC - SkyTrak settings

[Misike]

So I've seen the settings file to adjust driver, iron and wedge boost, along with the other options.

Dumb question. If I want to boost the driver by 10 percent increase, what number do I put in? Do I put 10, or +10, or 10%, or +10%?

I guess I could experiment with the file and find out, but wanted to see if anyone new first.

Just 10 will do it.

[Misike]

Perfect, thanks!!

This might be dumb question, but what does the boost do?

If you find that your irons are accurate but your driver is about 10% short compared to real life. You can boost your driver 10% to match real life distance.

Not on my TGC PC right now, but I believe I set the driver to 5% when I first noticed it was short. I see on the tour postings from ProTee United it says boost +/- 5%. Is that still accurate and allowed on the tour?

[ProTee United]

5% is max allowed on the tour. Outside the tour you can boost upto 50% if it makes you feel better ;-)

[allen2be]

Thanks for confirming. 50% eh? Anybody up for a long drive competition?

SO where do you find the file to adjust these boosts??

[shimonko]

Is this an issue with all LMs under reporting driving distance, or just SkyTrak? Or is TGC not calculating the driving distance accurately?

I am assuming TGC uses suggested club to determine if and when to boost? Normally I don’t even look at club suggested but if using boost I will have to

Gonna hijack this thread a bit, but will negative boosts work? My wedges are going too far.
