  • FIXED! Laser not going out after hit or going out but not registering shot.

    My Problem: Hit the ball, laser doesn't go out. Not all the time - but enough.
    Tried: changing lights, light from behind unit, levelling unit...etc.
    Fix: Metal ladder behind players in view of skytrak camera. Moved the stupid ladder - played a round with only 1 shot not registered on a short stubbed chip.

    My Problem: Hit the ball, laser goes out - but shot not accepted.
    Tried: using wifi - signal good for my skytrak pc - but too weak for skytrak. Didn't want to buy wifi extender as Ive had issues w/them before. Can't use direct wifi then won't have internet and perfect golf won't work.
    Fix: PC currently has wifi. Bought another usb wifi for $25. Plugged in pc, installed drivers. Attached the skytrak wireless ssid to my 2nd wifi and it worked. Internet then didn't work - so I could play skytrak driving range, but not perfect golf or surf the web. Opened 'Network and Sharing Center'. 'Change adapter Settings'. For the adapter that was connected to skytrak, right click and select 'properties'. Uncheck 'IPv6', select 'IPv4' and click 'properties'. Click 'advanced'. uncheck 'automatic metric' and put in the number two (2). Save your way out. Do the same for the other adapter, but put in ' metric' of one (1).

    What this does is tell your computer that when in doubt - use your internet connection (metric 1). the skytrak connection will always talk directly to the pc. It's working GREAT now!!! Hope this helps someone else as you all have helped me.

    Brilliant! To clarify for those who may not know...if you connect SkyTrak to your computer directly with a USB cord, you can still use internet software (like The Golf Club) as long as your computer is connected to the internet through wifi or Ethernet. This is an alternative to the above solution when wifi signal is good for the computer but weak for SkyTrak.

      Interesting. I've got a drum kit behind me in my studio with lots of chrome on it. I might try draping a dark cloth over it next time I hit balls. Makes sense that bright shiny things in background could cause no-reads.

        What does disabling ipv6 accomplish here? I don’t understand that part.
