    Driver practice / skills assessment

    What is the best way to practice driver on Skytrak’s newest version? Can one set up fairways to get a measured FIR? Or is it just driving range and guess if I would have hit a fairway?

    Also, what is the size of the target in the skills assessment? Is there a way to adjust it? I worry if my “hits” are actually misses on a real green size

    Click the settings button underneath the yardages on the upper left side of the screen. That will allow you to choose whether you hit into a green or fairway and choose the size/width of the target. It will keep your stats for you on the left side underneath your yardage.

          The point of driver is to hit it far, accurate, and with the shot shape you desire. I just hit and and exported data to a spreadsheet. It tracked carry, but most importantly, standard devation off line in degrees. With this data, I can go on google earth on a new course, and know exactly what the chances are of being OB with a given line, or chance of carrying a bunker at distance x.

            Intriguing concept I never considered... Morini could you elaborate and show us an example spreadsheet? This would be a powerful tool to use to calculate how well any golfer could (or could not) play a course based on Drives and standard deviation from straight. It seems then that this could be calculated for tour pros as well, maybe it's already done?
