Skytrak + phi golf or tittle

[Afor1991]

Has anyone had any luck adding skytrak with phi golf to get a good idea of ball data + clubhead data? It seems this option would be considerably cheaper albeit likely less accurate to a degree. I understand phi golf and tittle are failry new so may not have much data on this. Thanks!

I’ve had a similar thought. I have my R-Motion laying around so may get that going for the same purpose. It’d be interesting to me to see how close the measurements are to the estimated Skytrak club data.

I agree! I used to have R motion but the good thing about phi golf is it goes right in the grip. Hard for me to justify a $7k purchase when all i'm really wanting is clubhead and more importantly club face data

I would advise staying away from Phigolf for anything other than entertainment. I have it and I really can't trust what comes out of it. The reason I say that is the device has no idea if you are starting with a square club face - there is no calibration step like Skygolf (which I also have and is much better). I can easily fool the device to think I'm at 'address' when my club or worst the swing stick is not even aligned with the ground. I got it after seeing so many videos showing its potential only to end up realizing this is device is built more for fun than anything else. Just my 2 cents.

For club data to useful, it has to be accurate. Path is doable with the IMU based analyzers ... if the target line is known to the device ... but it isn't. If you know the path with certainty and ball data you can then back out the face to path and impact location with decent accuracy.

Measuring face directly is very very very difficult. The closure rate is so fast. The quad and TM4 often disagree because the definition of impact is ever so slightly different. A thousands of a second difference could mean different face numbers.

If you have TGC2019 and use footspray, the club data is fairly accurate for center face strikes.
