SkyTrak App Enhancement and Feature Requests

[luv2golf]

Refund.......LOL. There are no refunds with skytrak software. I asked after having WGT for 2 days.

You can try what I did, I asked for an extra year of GIP and they gave it to me.

Ive not tried hitting over the unit yet. I guess you will still get the same ball flight and numbers ect its going to think you hit a fade as a righty when you actually hit a draw as a lefty but I really don't see what difference that would make.

double post

It makes zero difference. I had confirmed this with seth when I was testing it out.

One further feature request,
When the export to pdf feature is chosen, can we please export all of the data across including side spin as this currently doesn't show up.

Has STnthought about putting in moveable posts on the range to practice accuracy for the driver and long clubs. Hitting to a green is fine but making a ball curve, and for that matter go high or low, would be beneficial to a broad range of users. That is, we could then practice punch shots and curving the ball around obstacles, real world practice. Perhaps add a cross post, as in rugby. If say moved to the left at 170 metres (about180yds) this could then simulate a left to right dogleg. Give it a thought.

I would love to see a putting green in the next release...hopefully once the TGC putting is fixed it would be easier to incorporate a putting green into the ST app.

I'm sure skytrak and skypro integration is far from being done or maybe never. BUT if we could get them to enable multitasking for those apps, you could have skytrak on one side and skypro on the other split screen. Right now I run skytrak on my iPad and skypro on my iPhone.

I would love to see the two devices integration taken a step further. It sure would be cool to get the ball and club data to work together in the skytrak app. Not just a dual app setup. The pro and I have been using a sky pro for the last few months. We have had many discussions about the benefits of having all that data available for a fitting and during lessons. The price point for the gc2 w hmt is just outrageous. Really the only diff between the two setups would be point of impact on the face. I realize the sky pro isn't perfect but it would be much better than nothing. Just my 2 cents

Watching this video of foresights new fsx software got me thinking. Most people struggle with getting better because they run every practice session in a block practice format. Sure would be nice for the skytrak app to have a random practice challenge that get the whole bag involved.

[AndyF]

You can do that yourself now Gar1414 with the greens feature in v2.2. You just set your target at whatever distance and give yourself points based on distance away. Change the green distance and then go again. The only thing is that you have to record your scores manually. It's a practice session that I carry out at least once every 2 weeks along with a club distance check and it really does highlight up and weaknesses in your game. The advantage with skytrak is that you can change the distances each time you play so you can try 60, 80, 100, 140, 180 one week and then 95, 115, 145, 205 the next to find out what your problem yardages are.

I agree it would be good to see it incorporated into a separate feature however I'm letting you know that there is a way you can do it already too.

You guys are onto something

[mbwhite]

Also seen that video today, would be a cool feature to add. Especially the flop wall. Just something fun to change up practice.

id like to see yellow range signs. i think they would be a good contrast!

[Shardak]

Can we get a frame-rate limit option on the Skytrak Range app? I notice that it runs at 1000+ fps on my PC. Would be nice to be able to limit it to 60fps. That might make shot-processing faster as the PC is not using all its power to render the app...

I have tried forcing VSync via the NVidia drivers control panel, but that doesnt seem to work.

There are a few things UI-wise that are not very friendly on an iPhone, but the two that are the biggest pains are: 1) in club selection, I often find I tap somewhere and the dialog goes away, but no club is selected. There's an awful lot of selections in the small space of an iPhone 5. and 2) the slider that adjusts the distance to a green in challenges is difficult to deal with. I'd like to see the slider width a lot wider and possibly implement variable scrubbing on that slider.

Having used my ST/Windows combination for a few weeks now, I'd like to see a setting to designate a default shot tracer color. I'd also like a significantly more protective (both shock and impact) case, given where the unit has to be positioned relative to the ball. I am now using Almost Golf balls for fear of actually (further) destroying the case and/or the unit in it (I'm also taking more lessons, but in the interim a better case would be good!).

[Clovesky]

My Skytrak has quit working. Lights are on, WiFi on, everything appear normal but it is not tracking my ball. I read there is a rest button but failed to find it. Can anyone help me with this? I've noticed a red light flashing inside also that I don't ever recall seeing before.

[parsonss]

I tee up the ball 1/3rd of the width of the screen from the right. When altering the centre line it seems almost that the perspective rotates about the centre point rather than slides left and right.

in addition I would like to be able to detach the shot optimiser window and display on a second wcreen

thanks, keep up the great work!
