To be real or not to be real?

Set Optishot for real life distances or not?

[braycobb]

Yep....The lighting definitely affects the swing speed readings!

[JohnMeyer]

I just thought as its based on light reflection any light leaching in from elsewhere must be seen as a reflection and so eliminating as much light as possible could only make things better.

Reflected from the screen is the minimum i could achieve

My golfsense consistently read 8-10 mph slower than Trackman.

WOW. That's a lot. That's "optishot is reading true after all" territory. There are other opinions about this out there though. This guy seem to think consistent +3mph for golf sense. I don't have an opinion... I just have an appetite for the truth.

Bubba22 do you all play to the same settings on your tour?

Yes, our guidelines say to leave all speed or carry settings at default. We allow minor adjustments of no more than 5%. But only a few people have needed to make any changes.

We have a unique situation though. Bubba22 and I have a direct line to ProTee and we are deeply involved with improvements on hardware and software. TGC and ProTee 2.0 have been "GC2 tuned" and compared to other tools. With the help of other testers, changes and improvements to distances and the game are ongoing. So, if anybody needs to adjust beyond the 5%, they better have a good reason.

Zmax you mentioned putting being easy on the Opti Shot previously, so I'm going to assume you have some experience on it.

What was your experience with swing speeds and distances when you used the Opti Shot?

[Bubba22]

Most of us have owned the Optishot an P3Pro. Putting on the ProTee an TGC is hard but not impossible. The Optishot putting is easier for sure.

Yes, what I was getting at is did you guys notice a difference in distances while you played on your opti shots? If so how did you deal with them?

Willy,

Maybe just post a video of you on a Trackman or GC2 showing your swing and ball data with carry at the same time. Perhaps this will silence the critics once and for all. It sounds like your settings at 100 are accurate for you but not for most guys?

Yes I already did that. Been using the high definition golf simulator on the weekends and I find that to be the most accurate. Will get the video from my buddy hopefully this weekend

That was 4 years. I do remember having to make adjustments but don't remember the exact setting. Besides, the software has changed a lot I would think. Another thing I remember were the inconsistent face readings for irons.

I had the original version. Initially, it showed my normal swing speed. In one of the updates, the swing speeds all dropped by 8-10 mph.

Yes. For me the distances were too far. I can't remember the exact adjustments but I needed to throttle it down.

I see. Thank you.

Where did you see drive stats, is that on optishot itself?

Yes it's on optishot. Go go driving range and then on bottom left you will see some menus. Click on stats. They been saved since the first shot you have taken on optishot.

You have a link to TM or GC2 video?
