Practice Mode

[derekney]

I have seen people referencing practice mode on an actual course. I did that, but was hoping that I could position my shot to be from an arbitrary point away from the green (say 140 yards out if I am working on 7 iron). I could not figure out a way to do that in the protee software. Is this possible? Or are my only choices hitting from the tee of an arbitrary hole, chipping from a fixed distance or putting?

Use the mini map with your cursor and right click I think to set your ball there. If not the right click then left click. You would do the same for on the green to place a ball where you want, sand, rough etc.
There are lots of short cuts for the keys like the numbers to select that Iron or P for putter or PW and D for woods. Also one for removing the aim stick and another for removing the pin from the cup.

Hoover the mouse on the mini map to find where you want to hit from and right click. then change the club and your good to go. the shortcuts are listed on a page in the portal. just look for it before you start. Don't remember what the page is called or the path to take to get there. Its not hard to find. the short cuts are really helpful when playing. Removing the pin on a chip. getting rid of the aiming stick is popular at my place. G is for grid on/off F is for flag in/out Q is camera up for looking at the green when down in a bunker. A is for moving the camera back down, and also for getting a better read on a putt, left click does the same thing. If you want to get a look at the shot landing area just hover over the area you want to hit into on the mini map and hold down the left mouse and then you can find a safe landing area. Then right click to aim there. f7 is screen shot f8 is high resolution screen shot. many others that I personally don't use.

Thanks for to both of you for your help. Right click on minimap was just what I was looking for.

Right click is working well.

Is there a way to clear out all the previous ball in air tracks? Wish it would do it automatically after switching clubs. And reset the statistics in upper left corner?

[Bubba22]

Switch clubs to reset stats. Menu and uncheck ball trail to get rid of streak.

[derekney]

You are right that switching clubs resets stats, did not remember that.

I like the ball trail but want to clear it when done with club. Uncheck of ball trail removes it from screen, but if you then turn it back on the old trails are still there. Was hoping to erase all the old ones and start with new set of trails.

[bcgc0918]

I recommend turning off the ball trails. Here is what will happen and why I leave them off. If you hit the shot on line but just a touch long, your putt coming back is going to be directly through the ball streak. Very hard to line up a putt with that in your way. you can just go in and turn it off but still just a pain for me. I use it in practice rounds especially when we are playing wind so I can see how far the wind is bending my shot. Very useful tool but when i am playing online I don't use it.

Hi Guys,
I am new to the forum so please forgive me if this it the wrong place to post an enhancement request for Protee's practice mode. Does Protee have a skill test / combine similar to what is offered with Trackman's fitting software? If not, could someone point me to where I can make the enhancement request? I think it would be a great feature add and something to also think about for the TGC software. I'd love to see something like this if possible.
The TrackMan Combine Test consists of:

• Shots hit at targets/zones of 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 120, 140 160, and 180 yards plus drivers.
• Upon completion of test, players will receive the following indispensable feedback:
  • Average Distance from the Pin at each target
  • Average Drive Distance
  • Average Offline for Drivers
  • Score (0-100) for each shot category
  • Percentile Ranking for every shot category
  • Aggregate TrackMan Combine Score

The driving range mode will keep track of basic shot data but nothing like the TM combine. Red Chain has stopped adding features for ProTee 2.0. Please post your request in TGC feature request thread.

does TGC have a driving range or plans to create one?

Not yet. But they are going to add it for sure.

Zmax - To be clear Red Chain is not offering any new features for ProTee 2.0? Does this mean all new enhancements are going to be added to TGC? Is the goal for ProTee users to start relying on and using TGC in place of the ProtTee 2.0 software going forward? Thanks for your help!

[Maverick]

Yes, that's all correct.

Hello, Finally got my GC2 and Protee set up. In practice mode, is there a way to clear your previous ball shots and ball shot tracks? Is there a fitting mode like the GC2 software? Is there a driver that allows the ball to pick up where the ball hits the screen like the GC2 software? Thanks.
