Tekbud, thanks for the awesome review! That's what we like to hear! Would you mind if we used part of it on our website?

Tidbit: Not that our other data parameters aren't accurate (because they are!), but the nature of the technology that powers SkyTrak makes ball speed the easiest parameter to measure accurately. In our many trips out to do robot and player testing against Trackman, the ball speeds averaged within tenths of a percentage point against TM. I have extreme confidence in our ball speeds - doesn't matter if you are hitting driver or PW.

Honestly, I'm not that familiar with what my ball speeds are. I've never really spent much time in front of a device / trackman, etc. to gather much data so I don't have a comparison point. I can tell you that between the SC100 and the Skytrak, my distances were incredibly close, within 1-4 yards every single time. Everything I was hitting initially was in the low 260's with the driver on both devices. I hit one 271 (skytrak) which registered 268 on SC100. There towards the end of my session when I hit a few up over 285 I was seeing similar results on the SC. I didn't check ball-speed but swing speeds were showing 105-108 fairly consistently in the end.

Received my new Skytrak today. purchased based on the reviews of so many posts in this forum. Bought a net return last year as with three kids my game has gone downhill for lack of practice time. got an sc100 last year as well, practiced a good bit with it and first time out had a huge hook that came out of nowhere. lack of feedback kills. Thus time to look at directional feedback. All I can say is wow. Accurate distance results with nearly every club (with some mid-iron exclusions previously reported). Having directional and true launch angle info is a true blessing in my back yard. Also quickly realized that I simply wasn't releasing my driver due to poor (low) launch angle numbers and quickly added almost 20 yards off the tee. From 271 max up to 289. There is a God! Thanks to everyone that made this purchase ahead of me and made me a believer. Now bring on the full round simulation - I'm sold!

Hi Tekbud. Nice review. Glad that you are enjoying it like me.
I have a question. There were a couple of users with a complaint about driver's ball speeds registering lower than they expected. \
I myself went out to a range to hit driver shots a couple of days ago and I didn't feel that way, but I cannot confirm it because my ball speed is not as fast as theirs.
Did you feel that your driver's ball speeds are lower than usual?

Thanks Tek. Simulation with Skytrsk is coming. Testing with E6 is happening now. Putting is around the corner. Keep you posted.

I presume this is the new case?

[Tbernardmd]

Anything new about simulation?

We are currently looking at local and cloud saving issues now. That will be the focus of the next release.

v1.8.5 - mid-iron ball flight update is on it's way to Apple now. Fingers crossed for this week!

Guys, a quick note on the data sync. I think it may be a problem with the sync indicator in the app itself. I had the same problem and found that all my shots had in fact synced. It just appeared to be a one-way street (going up but not coming down). That's actually better than the reverse. The next app update will address these sync issues and a few other items I'll save for later. If you don't have a lot of local data stored, you can try deleting the app and reinstalling. But know this is high on the radar, especially with the launch of SkyGolf360.

I'll leave you with some good news. Assuming nothing goes drastically wrong, the mid-iron ball flight update will be submitted to Apple by the next time I post. See you tomorrow

Well the app hasn't been saving my data locally, and ends up crashing a lot when i just leave it to sync, any suggestions on that? Thanks.

Great news. Hopefully it moves through apple quickly.
