i was trying to figure this out last night and i have gone back and forth using zmax's recommended path and face correction numbers vs the default (everything set to 0). when i visually inspect sensors, they look straight but when i set everything to 0, everything reads as a slice no matter how i swing. when i use zmax's numbers things seem more normal. however every once in a while i'll get some strange results that lead me to believe i need to tweak the correction numbers some more.
for instance, with my 6 iron there was a shot that was read as path square and face open 2 degrees but the ball path measured by the hcam was 2 degrees left. i double checked, and the hcam is set up correctly. also i watched the ball hit left of the target on the impact screen. i saw several of these types of shots where the face and path did not agree with the measured ball path. in this particular case, it seems that if the path is correct, my club_face_correction_iron needs to go from 3 to 7 or if the face was correct, the path needs to go from -3 to +1. for the sensors to be mounted 7 degrees crooked seems extreme and i would think i'd be able to see that. more than likely both numbers are off and it needs to be something like path=-2, face=5.
so my question is, how have you guys dialed in these settings? at this point i'm just guessing at what the numbers should be by comparing the face and path to the hcam measurement. i can tell when i swing very inside out or outside in but i am no where near good enough to know if i am square or off by 1 or 2 degree.
so far i've only played with these settings using a 6i, but can someone help me understand why the corrections are different for different types of clubs? if the boards are mounted crooked why wouldn't the angle corrections be the same for all clubs?
the only idea i've come up with so far is to record shots in slow motion from overhead and compare the sim's results to the video but hopefully someone can suggest an easier way.
zmax's recommended settings:
club_path_correction_driver=-1
club_path_correction_wood=-2
club_path_correction_irons=-3
club_path_correction_wedge=-2
club_face_correction_driver=2
club_face_correction_wood=3
club_face_correction_iron=3
club_face_correction_wedge=4
