I watched a video of track man set up for indoors vs gc2 but balls hit outdoors so shots are viewed. Gc2 was getting shot shape correct trackman wasn’t consistently wrong. So outdoors in outdoor setting track man is the std. But indoors I would bet photometric monitors are superior. Aka gc2/skytrak

Wow, that's interesting to read. With ball speeds that high, I would imagine you would need to place the tee/ball at least 1" to the right of the red laser dot. I've certainly seen positioning affect the ability to capture, but not the actual data.
On another note, we just received a new SDK with adjustments to high ball speed measurement (as a result of our robot test). I hope to be able to start testing next week during the PGA show.Comment

Has anyone else tried to place the ball like Kaj0341 had explained and got increased distance results? I only swing at about 106mph with driver, so I am not a SS player, but I have certainly noticed that my driver distance suffers on the Skytrak, rarely getting a carry above 245-248, with an average around 242. I have always found these distances a few yards of carry short as compared to real life, but I figured as long as I keep everything relative, it's not a big deal. However, last night I tried placing the red dot towards the top of the rubber tee I use mimicking Kaj's visual, and after a couple of no reads, I blasted a 255 carry and then a I proceeded to register 3 out of my longest 5 shots I've ever hit with the Skytrak with carries in the 270's and ballspeeds in the 161-162 range, even one at 166. Now, not every swing produced these numbers so I didn't get too excited as I also had just as many readings to what I normally get with the Skytrak. The major drawback was lots of no reads and to be honest, I went back to the normal position because of this, but I will say I think it helped if you get the tee spot just in the right spot or I was swinging especially faster than normal. Just was wondering if anyone has given it a go to see what happens?Comment

I tried one drive in a tournament round using this approach. It required me to move the ball too close to the SkyTrak and it measure my shot as a dead right push like 80 yards offline... I haven't tried it since!

I too tried it in a tournament and it went about 50 yards straight on what felt like a solid swing so will not be trying again.Comment

I just tried that. Currently I register a speed of 106 mph max on driver. I tried putting the laser on top of the tee, but couldn't get it to register. Moved it around a bit in the general area and the swing speed was the same.Comment

You replied to a 2 year old post. A lot has happened since then, most importantly high ball speed fix. Club head speed is not measured, so don't bother. The laser is just a pointer, and has no other function. It does not have to point at a teed up ball. Most users have best results with ball one or two inches behind the red dot. Ball position has to do with getting the right trajectory so that the ball passes in full view of the imagers. It will help with getting reads, but will not have any impact on ball speed.
