Has Skytrak Improved Your Game?

Just wondering what people thought of the Skytrak in terms of their game improvement.

This is my first winter having the Skytrak and the driving ranges have just opened in town.

Seeing my ball in action for the first time since September was extremely satisfying as my ball striking and accuracy was a lot better.

Last year on the range I would spend half hour and hit some good shots and if I stayed out too long I would start shanking, get too tired, and completely lose my swing.

Yesterday I hit 4 buckets of balls when there is no way last year I would have had the golf stamina or consistency to get through 4 buckets of balls. (I am still sore as hell today)

I couldn't be happier to start this golf season with some stamina and improved consistency. Also, I have finally learned my distances with my clubs.

I could barely hit my 3-hybrid, 4 iron, 5 iron, 56, and 60 degree last year and I feel comfortable hitting all of those clubs now and know the distance they should hit.

My 3-hybrid has become my favorite club and I can't wait to crush it on the course this year without the savage hook

I was shooting in the low 90's for the most part with the odd high 80's last year while playing half the clubs in my bag lol. I have high hopes this year playing with my full set to go a lot lower.

How have you guys benefited from your simulator?

Let me add to the positive vibes above. I've only had my SkyTrak for 2 months, been practicing on the ST range and playing on TGC quite a bit. Also had some lessons at the tail end of last summer, but was unable to action what was learnt too often.
Now having practiced more, my consistency and contract is dramatically improved.
I was a 21.5 handicapper last year, shooting anything from 90-110. Since getting ST, i've played 2 rounds IRL and chopped 2 shots off my handicap, shooting 88 and 89 in the process. As with a number of people above, I let myself down chipping and putting - if I were a bit sharper in this area I possibly could have broken 80. The biggest improvement is the consistency I am getting, I am a lot straighter off the tee and as a result have a lot less blowouts, which were previously killing my stroke play scores.
Hard to say how much lessons or SkyTrak helped, but I would guess that the combination of both is important. No point having lessons if you can't practice what you learn and no point aimlessly hitting on ST without being given some idea of what to do.
I'm hoping to finish the season with a handicap of 5-6 shot lower.

I just got back from Kelowna and was able to finally play some rounds!

My driver and irons were more consistent than ever before!

My chipping, sand shots and putting are what killed me lol

It's going to take awhile to adjust to the short game on the course but I am so happy to crush it off the tee and hit so many fairways.

A 190 yard par 3 I would normally hit a hybrid or something I can hit easier but I pulled out a 5 iron and stuck the green for a 15 foot birdie putt that I missed lol

I purchased a rangefinder before the trip and it helped greatly due to the fact that I know my club distances.

86 was my lowest round of the trip but man if I didn't 3-putt so often it would have been some low rounds.

Skytrak along with Dave Pelz Short Game Bible has really helped my game.
