    I trust you'll make it clear when you put them up for sale that neither one is working properly....

      Did you take the skytrak outside with you to test? From your statement below it's makes it sound like you just went out and played and hit your "normal" distances and the skytrak must be wrong.

I hit my numbers on every club/every hole. Where my 9 iron on ST was going 115, I hit 127 this morning (130 is my number). Where I could barely get my 7 Iron to go 140 on ST yesterday, IRL today: 155. Same thing with 8 Iron; 130 on ST, 147 today (slightly downhill) IRL.

      I don't know if it's some environmental issue in my sim room (lighting, alignment, smudges on the lens cover, etc...) but I promise you, skytrak is under-reporting my irons by at least 1 club. I suspect it is software related but I'll experiment to see if I can fix it. Thing is, nothings changed recently (I've had this room set up for a couple of years now).

        No, I took my clubs to the course where I've played about 100 rounds of golf this year. But you make a good point. I'll take it to the range and test it.

          Taking the unit outdoors and hitting to targets at verified distances will confirm if the unit is bad. It's better to use balls you don't mind donating vs range balls is better as well.

            Just tickled my funny bone, no offense intended..

            Short distances are often cause by environment, but time and again the ST is proven to be accurate. Slightly fat can shorten. Non-center face hits due to indoor swing. There are many reasons for shorter distances, but the gc2 and ST both measure after you've hit... More so for ST, as calcs are done in software/app. What you see is very likely what you get, the trick is working out why

              I think I just did!! But I suspect most here think there is nothing wrong with the unit. I believe it's something environmental (or maybe just mental)! I'll go through the motions to be sure... unless you were thinking about making an offer??

                My 2 cents,

                I am a recent dissatisfied Skytrak buyer and would point most to GC2 or Uneekor. My issues with Skytrak comes down the variability on distances. I’ve never carried a 7iron 205 Irl but would have the random swing where I would get a crazy number. I actually think Skytrak gives a decent average of multiple shots but it’s hard to trust what you see after you have a few WTF shots. I took my Skytrak to the range at dusk and couldn’t get many drives to Show accurately on the Skytrak app (irons were closer to shot shape however). I will say the range has a great features and for your average player Skytrak is a fun launch monitor with cool features. If you are a serious about game improvement then I would want a device that is as close to accurate as possible. Hope this helps.

                  I'd suggest you try it out of the protective case, if you have one. Also, check the window for scratches. Your experience is an outlier, and I've only ever seen similar when something is wrong...

                I had a ticket open with E6 and they just told me today that the Unauthorized device error has been fixed. I just tested with my Skytrak and its working. They also mentioned the full Skytrak version will be available "very soon"
