    Skytrak Roll Data Off

    I think the spin and roll data is wrong on SkyTrak. Here’s an example for a 7 iron test I did across 12 clubs. When playing these on my course, they generally stop within 5-10 feet max. They don’t roll 10+ yards! Anyone else have this problem? Any suggested fixes? Also, which 7 iron do you think I should play? Thanks!

    I had the same problem I went and hit 10 balls on a course and measured from where the ball hit and where it ended up and averaged them. I just add that to my distances I know it’s not perfect but it gave me a better idea!

      How many times did you hit each club? I’m unfamiliar with how the dispersion data is calculated, but I would go with the Taylormade TM7MCs since the horizontal and vertical dispersion numbers are the smallest.

        Thanks! I just hit each club 5 times. Appreciate the feedback!

          Thanks! Good tip on measuring real life roll

            Just ignore roll data. It is not based on physics, and even it was, it would be so individual. In real life, it depends on so many factors that are hole specific, slope specific, climate specific, season specific, and even time of day specific. Senseless to even consider it. Look at carry only.

              Angle of descent and backspin would be the relevant data points to monitor instead of roll.
