  • After new update readings arent correct

    after the update, Skytrak isnt reading properly. Clubhead speed is way down and some balls that are murdered with a mid iron are going 20 yards less for seemingly no reason. Once in a while one will read proper. Nothing else has changed. Made sure level is proper and cleaned case glass, cleaned hitting mat and it's still not reading clubhead speed properly.

    It's hard to say what could cause that, but I can guarantee that nothing was changed regarding image processing, analysis, measurements, algorithms, etc.

      Yea, I get it. I just wanted it documented just in case it turned into a trend since i noticed another guy mentioned having an issue after update. Thanks

        Just a sample from the past:

        "It seems since the release of 3.1, my Skytrak has had more mis-reads than ever before."

        reply from seth: "We didn't upgrade the firmware or change anything with the image capture or analysis."

          I've noticed the same thing. Easily 1 club shorter after upgrade.

            I noticed on mine I was significantly longer in the update. 8 irons almost touch 190 when in prior it’s a 155-165 club

              I'm seeing some unexplainable stuff as well.

              In Skytrak app, distances felt about a club short as well.

              In TGC2019, I hit a 20 yard chip w/ a 60 deg lob wedge that carried 150 yards. A full 6 iron shot that went 235 carry (I normally carry 160-165).

                I would uninstall the update and run the previous version and document the difference.

                    Try uninstalling and reinstall the older version.

                    Go to settings, programs, and select Skytak and select uninstall. Then reinstall the older version.

                  I just installed SkyTrak along with Net Return.
                  My distances max out at around 130 to 140 no matter which club I hit I use both direct mode and network mode using my iPad.
                  Any help would be greatly appreciated

                    Connection method has no bearing on ball data or distances. In fact, nothing directly Skytrak related does. Most likely the unit is reading the ball accurately (on average), and you would have the same results if you used a GC, Quad or TM4.

                    Foot spray the clubface and hit off a short tee. Note the impact location. Look at reasonability of ball speed, launch angle, spin rate etc. Post the numbers.
