Just set up my optishot a couple weeks ago and have played a few rounds with decent results. Bought it mostly to play some "golf" during the winter with some friends. I am probably going to upgrade to SkyTrak (with R-motion) in the futrue, but for now would like to dial in the Optishot the best I can, so have a few questions.
My setup is in the garage, with blacked out windows. LED light bulbs right above the sensors, no shadows at all. I bought the better grass topper online, which I really like, can't imagine hitting off the turf that comes with the system. Built a stance pad so the optishot slides right in and am level with the system. Out of the few rounds I have play I have only had 2 times when the sensors didn't pick up my swing. I have run through the calibration for all of my clubs and set the average distances to what I normally hit each club when I normally play.
My questions:
- How do I get other clubs to show up in my clubset? I would like to add the gap wedge to my bag and remove the hybrid. I set the hybrid distance to 999 since that is what the optishot site says to do to remove it from your bag, but it doesn't give me a choice of adding another club. When I edit my clubset I see the gap wedge in the drop down list, but can't get it to come up in my bag.
- Club distances: as I mentioned, I added my average distance for each club so the auto caddy picks the correct club, but I am routinely hitting the tee shots at least 20 to 30 yards farther than normal (normally hit a 7 iron 175 and hit it over 200 the other day). Seems like hitting off the turf (fairway) is a little more accurate. Are the longer shot considered "mis-reads"? Should I mess with the speed and/or distance percentages to try and dial it in? When everything comes together and the distances are accurate it's really fun. But when I hit a drive 343yds with a swing speed of 137, it not as fun cause I know I would never be able to do that :-) I have not taped any of my clubs since the sensors seem to pick them up ok. I do have black gaffer tape and white reflector tape if taping my clubs would help?
- Is there any way to play locally with handicap scoring? I can't seem to find it if there is.
Thanks very much in advance!
