Does anyone see +1 or -1 degree side angle? All I see is 0 or -2/+2 or higher.

Just wondering if there is a rounding error in the SkyTrak range UI, because all I see is 0 or +2/-2 (or higher) for side angle - I've never seen a +1 or -1 deg side angle shot.

Interesting observation...same here. I have seen 0, 2, 3 but never 1.

[GungHoGolf]

Ok, so I'm not going crazy then.

Sucks, cause I'd like to groove a 1 deg push draw.

Ha! We display "center" for side angle if under 1.5 degrees, and "center" for side spin if under 150 rpm. If you look in the shot history table, the actual measured data is in there.

[Ryan_luan@yahoo.com]

Good to know. Is it possible to consider to display the actual side angle in future versions? For better players, there is a big difference between -1.4 degree vs +1.4 degree for face angle - it's 3 degree swing and can result in on or missing the fairway...

+1
We also use side angle quite a bit and would to see it displayed on the practice range.

[GungHoGolf]

I would much rather see side angle with one decimal point of precision. One degree offline is significant. At the minimum, please round to nearest integer so 0.5-1.4 displays as 1. Might as well not round down the sidespin so aggressively, either. That explains why so many shots with significant movement display as "center" I guess.

[SkyTrak_Seth]

Will consider adding the actual values to the range. But please note that this helps cover our data tolerances over that 'zero' mark for both side spin and side angle. 150 rpm of side spin is definitely not significant movement in the air - you would be very hard pressed to even see it.

Note the accuracy limits of skytrak as follows :
Ball speed +- 1 mph
VLA +- 1 degree
HLA +- 2 degrees
Side spin +- 250rpm
Backspin +- 250rpm

Therefore having it display HLA to 1 decimal point doesn't really seem worth it is it?

Good point. Still think showing 1 instead of jumping from 0 to 2 makes sense.

was reading +- 2 degrees hla for skytrak
. I guess this means could be 4 degrees total and be with in skytrak specks. I have mat and c/l of driving range set up with val line and hla line centered with laser.I guess that is why can hit ball right of c/l and it will show ball flight 2 degrees left of c/l
