If you’re hitting 110 on SSR you’re either hitting it awful or your SkyTrak isn’t reading right. I hit 115 regularly on ssr and see ball speed from 155-160 when the sun is down.

I’m going to contact support. It is either user error on my part or a defective unit. I can’t get decent launch angles on any clubs and it doesn’t reflect real golf shots.Comment

Another thing I just noticed is that your ST is pretty low there. I might try elevating with a block of wood or something to see what happens to the data. It's always been a bit of a mystery how ST can claim accuracy on launch angle on a teed ball.Comment

I bought the skytrak performance package in February 2020, specifically to work out at home and play courses through this pandemic. The following is what I have experienced.
I have the same problem with how WGT interprets my shots.
in skytrak driving range mode I will have an average 277 yd total driving yardage but when I move to WGT it is rare for me to have a 250 yd drive and on average is 235 yds.
in an attempt to troubleshoot whether it was me or the software, I would toggle back and forth between WGT and ST and the distance (and the direction which the ball traveled) would be grossly different.
additionally, the very short game (chipping within 25 yds) is so inaccurate...EX I’ll have a 15 yd chip with plenty of green to run up, hit a loft wedge what I typically use on the course and it will go 45 yds. I’ll hit the mulligan button and use a putter like stroke and the ball will go 3 yds. Almost not worth playing when so close to the green.
what I don’t know could be the problem is the fact that playing WGT outside of the skytrak software, as a game on your phone/tablet, you receive basic clubs which are limited in accuracy and range. When using the ST to populate data to WGT I wonder if WGT uses the basic club data as a starting point for in application shot data.
regardless, I am also a very frustrated customer as the accuracy between the two applications, ST & WGT, are very different and I do not plan to renew my membership with WGT when it expires.
if anyone has a similar issue and has been able to figure this out I greatly appreciate any advice.Comment

Yes - the short game sucks and is mostly unplayable. I did not renew my subscription for this exact reason.Comment

I never noticed much difference between Skytrak range numbers and WGT numbers for full swings. But yes, the short game on WGT is just atrocious. It didn't take me long to realize that I would be upgrading to TGC2019 sooner rather than later.Comment

I have never used WGT, but the list of complaints is long. If you are on a budget, I suggest you look into fitness golf, creative or original TGC in order to have some type of on course experience. Or consider a one year license for E6/TGC2019. Or go even bigger and move TGC2019 purchase.
If you want to troubleshoot WGT, I suggest you join the facebook group. Lots of people who make it work there, and they have weekly tournaments etc (though i think the season just wrapped up).Comment

I came to the same conclusion. My PC build should be ready in a few days then I am on to TGC2019.Originally posted by 3on3putt View PostComment

Hi I got my skytrak recently and have had a few teething problems mainly because I play outdoors and it's been sunny in the UK for a change.
My advice is try the E6 demo for free on iOS or pc if you have not yet. It's so much better than Wgt and I think you will find it much less frustrating and more fun to play. Short game is much improved as your actual position is shown on screen rather than a random photograph of somewhere near your ball.
Unfortunately you will have to spend £250 per year for E6 rather than £100 for Wgt but it's worth it once you get over the sting of paying £2k for the skytrak unit.
