Clubhead & Ball Speeds Are Correct...but Yardages Are Hugely Inflated...

[Rogala]

I am a new user, using Skytrak on a PC in direct mode.

SkyTrak is reporting my clubhead speed and ball speed for an easy 7-iron at about 76-80 MPH and 116-120 MPH respectively...which seem sort of accurate based on my swing and results IRL.

It is reporting the carry distance, however, at around 176 yards and the overall distance close to 200 yards. It should be 155-165 yards with no wind based on IRL results.

What could be going on ??

My only clue is that the RPM Backspin numbers are ludicrously low....around 2-3K RPM when I know they should be 6-7K RPM based on other simulation and Real Life results.

Has anyone else seen this sort of combined RPM lowballing and yardage inflation ?? How to get SkyTrak to read properly / correct this inflation ??

Thanks !!!

Glad you got it figured out. I always place the ball slightly in front of the dot for wedges. Maybe a half inch for a full wedge shot and a full inch for a flop shot.

For driver I tee it up a good 4-5 inches behind the dot.

3-woods and hybrids off the deck are maybe an inch behind.

Believe it or not, I have not hit any driver, 3-woods, or utility clubs yet...nor any high-lofted wedges. I will he getting to that later this week...looking forward to it.
