[SkyTrak_Seth]

Hi all,

• Updated Dynamic Handicap Formula
• Added Event Mode to Challenges
• Added Scoring Mode and Shot Order to Challenges

As these threads typically go, new feature requests start piling in so let me get out ahead this time The next couple of updates will include updated tracers, updated camera views, updated environment, updated graphic quality, club management, and multiple users. I'll continue to chip away at your additional feature requests as well. We also have robot testing scheduled at the end of this month for high ball speed measurement accuracy.

Way to go, great work and great product!!Can’t wait to try the new features. Will report back. I was really hoping to see the randomizer feature. Makes sense.

[Alphaseekr]

Waiting on e6 Connect integration with Skytrak. All parties publicly onboard, estimated timing??

[SkyTrak_Seth]

I can't comment on timing, but I hit shots shots on it yesterday

This line caught my attention -

Added Saved Presets and Randomizer to Game Improvement Activities
Does this mean I could be asked to shoot random yardage shots during a single session For example, 25 yards shot, then a 75 yard shot, then a 40 yard shot and the 175 yard shot?

Yes, but after implementing it lost some appeal because you are required to hit a minimum of 3 shots at each target so after the first shot, it's not really 'random' anymore. There are two options we're looking at (or both):

1) Add this randomizer to practice greens so it's one shot a piece and you can hit indefinitely within your distance tolerances.
2) If using randomizer, scramble the shots in skills assessment so that you still need to hit at least 3 shots at each target, but you will never hit them in a row.

Couldn't figure out how to get the randomizer started. Where is it in the skills assessment?

"We also have robot testing scheduled at the end of this month for high ball speed measurement accuracy."

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Edit: Please test 170 mph +

[SkyTrak_Seth]

In the plan We are testing a huge spectrum, so if there is any curve, we know exactly where it starts and how steep it is.

[Clevited]

Awesome. I hope you see what many of us see, otherwise its an environment thing and I will tear my hair out trying to figure that one out. Already tried to tackle everything I could think of regarding lighting, background, white clubs, white shoes, white socks etc etc.

[Clevited]

SkyTrak_Seth just want to let you know how much your frequent feedback/participation on here is appreciated. Your individual efforts alone to make Skytrak a better and better product make it exciting. I fully understand too how hard it can be, and how long it can take to tackle some of these things we ask for but the effort to do them is actually quite uncommon. Keep up the good work!

[SkyTrak_Seth]

Thanks, Clevited

Hi Seth, very much like the update, thank you!

Two questions:
- It may be my poor WiFi connection but every time I end a session (for example skill assessment) and go back to the main menu, it will show "checking license files". Only solution then seems to be to restart the Skytrak
- After ending a Challenge I selected "Practice" and immediately the red dot moved from behind the machine to in front of the screen. Or putting it differently: it moves about 30cm closer to the target. Any clue?

thank you

Bastiaan,

1) Every time you return to the dashboard from any activity, we check the license files. This should be very quick (like under 3 seconds). This has been that way for some time now, but we did it to help apply any membership changes for those who don't often close out of the app and reopen.

2) Are you logged into the app? If so, are you RH or LH in the profile (upper right)? And did you happen to set RH or LH in the challenge that was opposite of what is set in the profile?

[Dan McWhirter]

Hi Seth, very much like the update, thank you!

1) Some day add putting? e6 has chip and putt practice, which I presume puts the SkyTrak into a different mode.
2) Integration with e6 Connect?
Thanks!

[SkyTrak_Seth]

1) Yep. I hope to get putting in for QA 2019 or sooner.
2) See above, can't comment on timing but hit shots on it yesterday and all was well.

[Dan McWhirter]

Thank you! The software update is cool and my SkyTrak ran flawless.

[wbond]

Easily the most updates from any company in the last 3+yrs. Makes me miss my ST even more seeing these.

[Kevin_C]

How solid is the update. I am scared to update because my Skytrak is working perfectly. Rarely a misread and I read about the horror stories after people update? Please advise.

[SkyTrak_Seth]

I'll let others chime in based on their experience, but no changes in the app that would affect shot capture. As I mentioned in the other thread, there's really nothing we do in the software releases that would affect that. My guess is that it is hardware related and unfortunately happens to fall around software release time for some users. It's inevitable with ~20k units out there.

[Pat.Mayo]

I thought Clubhead data would be included in this update?

[SkyTrak_Seth]

Nah, we are still tinkering with that.

[wilson]

I’ve had my ST since 2015. You guys have delivered consistently. Thank you. Every release is a validation. So, so good.

[tank1975]

When will the club head data be included. I’ve been looking forward to that since you guys showcased it last year.

[Gresh12]

I’m interested in this as well. I have been using the old beta version sporadically when I want some club input but it obviously lacks other new features.

[SkyTrak_Seth]

We are still working on it, but it fell to the back burner. It's not dead though.

[StodgyBarley]

Are we referring to Club head Data with Skypro here? I was looking for how to do that last weekend for the first time and didn't get anywhere. Thanks everyone!
