Ladies and Gentlemen,
I wanted to share few things since I purchased and used SkyTrak.
My problem was that I was not getting good read whenever I used longer clubs, aka woods, hybrid, 4 irons. Even mid irons were also 10-15 yards shorter. I tried many things - Get good quality balls those I read about on this forum, make my background black, wear non-white clothes, improve lighting, make sure the unit is level or 1/4" higher, get a fiberbuilt mat plus marking the ball with a line.
Finally, after trying combination of many things above and getting a bit exhausted, I bought a mat that was recommended to me by GolfTec center. I purchased this mat from Jim, it's 6'x5' in size and cost me $ 325 including S&H. I am not plugging in advertisement here. But, this mat solved ALL my misreads. It does not matter what kind of ball I hit, marked or non-marked with lines, how much light I have, what background I have, what clothes I am wearing, I get great reads all the time. I am attributing this to the mat.
Furthermore, I say it's the mat b/c I took my unit to GolfTec twice to test and wow, the SkyTrak was dead on accurate. Now GolfTec setup is vastly different than mine only in terms of lighting, they have great lighting with fluorescent tubes. But few experienced folks here attested that light has NO bearing on SkyTrak reading and I don't doubt their opinion. I removed all the other junk I had in my room - black background, extra lighting, black floor, etc; seriously, I am very happy with this mat. I have been using this mat with SkyTrak since August, I use it 3/4 times a week and I am quite relieved that this solved a lot of issues I was facing.
If you want to contact Jim, he gave me permission to post it here - Jim@ExecutiveGreens.com. Again, this may not apply to everyone's situation but nonetheless I wanted to share and I hope it helps.
