"Shank" proof protection

[jaysammadd]

Hi Davray, thx for sharing all the hard work. I just came across this post and can't seem to open the file you attatched. would love to know where to cut my holes and save myself all the trial and error. I would owe you a beer or two. Thx

Hi folks,

I was a silent follower of this forum, but now my Skytrak finally arrived (here in Munich, Germany, one of the first ones ). I will just use this post to introduce myself and start sharing from now on!

Big fan of Skytrak, I was following their progress since before the came to market in the US. I always had my eye on the GC2, but I did not want to spent 3,500$ on a used device
Anyway, I am also eagerly awaiting the release of TGC on ST, but since my Skytrak is just 4 days old, the wait was not that bad yet

I am building a setup (protection) from my unit as well and will attach a pic of what I have so far.

@davray666: I tried to open your PDF attachment as well but was also unsuccessful If you could try to share it again I would be extremly thankful.
I want to cut my front plate from a metal sheet and any trail an error would be quiet a bust.

So, thanks to anyone sharing on this forum,
Antony

Hi Antony, I am traveling right now. Will PM it to you when I am back this evening. It's not a secret document so if anybody else wants to share it. Go ahead.

[Sascha1818]

Antony, I was able to download it from davrays link and send it to you per PM. Let me know if you can open it.

Sascha1818 Hi, yes it worked! Thanks again.

Sascha1818, I could not open @davray666's link either. Can you please PM to me as well. Thanks!

[Sascha1818]

sure thing, you will have it in a few

[doublebogey]

Got it. Thanks a bunch!

[Sascha1818]

glad I could help

Posted in the 'need some light' thread, but shields are in...finally.

[davray666]

Seth you need to stay on topic. This section is for the shank proof protection. The official protection you supply does not qualify:-)

[SkyTrak_Seth]

Ok, Shank Minimizer Although...I've been in the business a long time, and I can tell you...nothing is shank proof

[arwin]

SkyTrak_Seth - Is this shipment of cases for existing orders or is there enough that if I ordered a case today, it would be shipped promptly?

[SkyTrak_Seth]

I know that the entire lot did not go out at once, but I have no clue how many have already been ordered. I can check though.

Sascha1818 Sorry to bug you but can you Pm me the drawing as well. Thanks very much

Has anyone actually shanked a ball and hit their Skytrak?

[Tekbud]

I had a friend over that swung a hybrid, and wacked a ball off the toe of the club into mine. It turned off but continues to work... For now... Suffice it to say he's not a very good golfer. My 8 year old son came close too.

[davray666]

Me? Never even been close but seen it 2 times when friends where over.
Hybrid toe and driver toe. The hybrid was a 32 HCP lady and the driver was a 16 HCP guy I have played many rounds with. Never seen him miss like that on the course.
If you are a decent golfer and above all used to hitting in your sim environment then it's highly unlikely you will ever be even close. For everybody else, shit happens especially if you had a few and come down to the sim for some quick fun.

[wise990]

I have definitely seen it happen.

[Tekbud]

I will admit there may have been a few drinks partaken prior to the "incident" lol.

[foggedz]

Interesting. I always refer to a shank as a ball that hits the hosel of the golf club. Maybe the title of the thread should be changed to drunk proof protection.

[davray666]

Was that a joke or are you trying to tell us that you are a vastly superior human being by not having any friends that are bad at golf?
Agree that the title is misleading since a shank will not hit the unit. But most people can kind of figure out what this is all about anyway.

[avantix]

I personally have nicked the top of my unit and made a small dimple although it wasn't a shank it was a standing up practice/limber swing that unknowingly just clipped it. No damage as it really wasn't hard

[foggedz]

Just trying to understand why people are so obsessed with shanking a ball into the Skytrak. I didnt think it was possible, but I didn't realize that the term was used for strikes that dont come off of the hosel.

[luv2golf]

Those are hosel rockets, there's another thread for that. LOL!!!

[AntonyVP]

Just wanted to let you guys know, that I finished my protection case

davray666 Thanks again, your pattern worked perfectly!

[Chughes82]

Very nice build AntonyVP

[davray666]

Looks safe!
