Sounds like you might need to try teeing the ball lower. I'm not aware of anyone having major issues with the stock turf as far as swing speed goes. It typically exaggerates swing speed some. The thicker turf has created some problems for some users. I use the thicker turf and had to cut down 2 tees that I use. Doing that gives me consistent swing speeds that are accurate. Hit 10 or so drives on the range and post your average swing speed and average distance.

I think the difference is the clubset settings for my 3 wood are both at 100%. The Driver setting is at 93% and 88% and I am just not able to get my swing speed up enough to make up the difference since I cannot use my real driver. **I'm scared if I swing my real driver I'm going to hit the garage door opener above me.** I tried hitting balls with no tee with the same result.

I have a question about not being able to use my driver. I think this hurt me a bit in my first two rounds. In the past I would just swing my 3 wood when using the driver on OptiShot. I adjusted my settings so the distance matched what I know to be able to do in real life (270 avg.) But per the rules I changed the driver setting to Foam Ball, Stock Turf - 93% Speed, 88% Distance. In my first two round in the tour my drives averaged about 240. BUT I was able to hit the 3 wood off the deck about 260.

What can I do to set this up more accurately?

Anyone else having problem with Optishot chosing the wrong club all the time?
I almost allways have to manually pick one shorter club than what Opti think I should use. I have set my average distances correct.
It might be that I use metric settings but the software pick club based on yards.
Anyone using metric and can confirm having wrong clubs picked?

Just tested setting my average distances as it would be in yards instead of meters and now I get the right clubs. So if anyone has the same problem this is what you have to do.

How do you change the Turf settings to be Stock or thick turf?

You don't you either have thick turf top or original. I have foam balls and original turf so I can test settings. I hit real balls myself I can do a fair comparising.

TB I'm going to test tomorrow night, see how it reads at 100 speed 88 distance. like thick turf. I will let you know if this will be changed.

Cool, thanks. In hindsight I should have teed off with my 3 wood. LOL I was too frustrated with the streaming and everything else to think straight.

I was wondering if anyone using a projector has issues reading the smaller text on the top and bottom of the screen? The top small text were it show the player, hole, distance etc. and the lower section where it shows yardarm to hole, slope, club selection.
I am on my second projector (#2 is much better quality than the first) I get a nice 8x8 picture, 3000 lumans, so it;s nice and bright the text is just not clear. Is this the software and the text they use for the program? I can read it somewhat but not as clear as I would expect. Also using a Macbook Pro

Any help would be appreciated.

maybe Optishot just needs to change the font they are using for this smaller text, I don't know...

Thanks again

Wow I didn't know that. So if I buy one in Arizona just to practicewith stock courses then bring it back and have a second one ( left and right ) like Mike, or replace mine when it breaks will I be able to still keep all my courses etc ?

Thanks in advance buddy

You might have to contact Optishot and they maybe can transfer to other unit..... There also seems to be something associated with your email/

So I.could have one optishot and all my courses on many computers ?

The Product Key is with Unit not software, If you took your Optishot with you and installed on your dads computer, you would have all your courses....it would download automatically...
