MT, I have "Short Chip Backspin Correction=0" in my config file. What is that supposed to do or be set at? This is in addition to the "Short Chip Correction=ON"Originally posted by mthunt View PostComment

Short Chip Backspin is for SkyTrak : it increases the backspin by a certain % when chipping and closer than 22y from the pin ( 35% max) it’s new.Originally posted by TikiTaylor View Post

Thanks for all of your help on this forum for us newbies - priceless!Originally posted by mthunt View Post
As far as Tour Rules are concerned, what are the limits on Short Chip Backspin?
In an unrelated matter, two shots in a row today I was playing from Heavy Rough and flushed 5 and 6 irons. On both occasions the ball flew straight in the air and went less than 25m (despite both shots being well struck in reality).
Is this just the luck of the draw when playing from Heavy Rough? I found the Heavy Rough on many other occasions and only experienced the 14% distance penalty.Comment

For your play you are allowed to adjust settings by +\- 5%. If you flush a shot and it goes no where, either your hardware failed or you hit something. Look at the post shot screen to tell. Sometime in the heavy rough you’ll have an upslope and a lower shot will not clear that upslope. There is no effect on lie in the game so your body is not parallel to the slope meaning you’d have to ‘hit it higher’ than you would in real life.

Thanks for this. The Divot actions mats are new to me, and I am very interested mainly from 'repetitive strain injury' perspective, but also from the shot data accuracy. I have stepped up the frequency of use and I am feeling it down my left arm and shoulder. These mats seem to be what I need but I would be interested to hear from others who use one.
Regarding shot accuracy, I have often felt that there must be a loss of power off of a mat which may lead to hitting 'divot-less' shots to overcome both issues.Comment

Is this just an On/Off setting or do you set the percentage in the settings?Originally posted by mthunt View PostComment

Do I understand this correctly that shot recording is only available to those who participate in the tour site? If so, is there any option to get the shot data from all of our general play outside of the tour? ThanksComment

Thanks for this, helped a lot. But I still have some questions: Every other day I have problems connecting to the servers in TGC 2019 so I have to switch to offline mode. Is this a common issue? And does playing offline courses change your handicap? Or are there only certain courses which are rated? I'm running TGC 2019 with SkyTrak. Thanks in advance :-)Last edited by cweikert; 07-23-2020, 07:56 PM.Comment

Not quite sure about the handicap question as I've only played in offline mode one time. The offline courses were all developed by HB Studios, so I'm guessing they are all handicap rated but again I've only played one of those courses.Originally posted by cweikert View Post
As far as connection issues, the only time I was unable to connect to TGC was when a storm knocked out the internet at our house. So I'm thinking that's more likely a problem on your end with your WiFi. Are you using your Skytrak in USB mode?Comment
-
Yes USB mode and my Windows machine has an ethernet connection to the router. ProTee Customer Support were already with Teamviewer on my machine but could not solve the problem. Everything works fine until I try to load a new course or join an online society. Than TGC2019 is in an endless loading screen... Sometimes it shows an Network connection error. But my Internet is fine and fast enough. For me it seems that the server is very slow or not responding at all. The course selection screen for example is 20 times slower in online mode than in offline mode.Last edited by cweikert; 07-23-2020, 08:48 PM.Comment

When that happens, open up a browser to https://fast.com and check your internet speed. Perhaps it's not as fast as you think (or intermittently slow).
-
Fast.com is showing 80-110 constantly. I just deactivated IP6 for the network adapter on my windows machine, rebooted and now it seems to be working. Still slow but at least the courses are loading. Hope this still works tomorrow.Comment

How do I get sure that I‘m running the newest version of the software?Comment

What is the difference between Handicap-Index and HCP? HCP was not updated for the last 6 rounds or so...Comment
