Distance is inaccurate with the woods

I just have to say, I'm jealous as hell of the launch conditions you guys have. Haha. Would love to get that kind of launch angle with those kind of spin numbers. One thing I'm excited about working on over the winter with my ST, getting that launch angle up without adding back spin. Impressive guys!

For me, new-tech drivers with low and forward weighting, with a good shaft increased my launch and lowered my spin. I also moved the ball to just inside my left toe. I'm currently using an 11.5 deg setting and only spinning 2000-2250 typically. Couldn't do that with drivers just 3-5 years ago unless you put a piece of rebar in them instead of a shaft.

Wily,

Reference the first three shots in post #48. Here are the screenshots for each of those shots. I don't have video or other proof that I haven't jacked the settings, other than to tell you that I left them at the default 500 ft, 70 deg, 50% humidity (I think that's the default...) You'll just have to take my word for it. If you think your unit is messed up, send it back, man, or talk to Seth.

I think those numbers are faulty and I suggest you send that Skytrak my way just to mAke sure those numbers are correct. Lol.

I can't promise you if you do send it. You might not get it back. Lol

I just hope they get a good one out to you. It would be really frustrating in your shoes. I originally thought the ball speeds were low on my unit, but then I realized:
1) I was just rusty
2) the mat I was using was too soft and I wasn't getting any support under my feet (plus I was sinking down into the mat almost a full inch!!)

I started hitting while standing on a 2x12 and it fixed the support/grip problem. Then after about a month of practice, my ball speeds starting coming back up.

My ball speeds vary a lot depending on how much I play. The 148 mph shot is after a 6 month hiatus (new baby), and that is about all I could muster. And to be totally fair, the 184 mph with a driver 3 inches longer than I usually play. I just did it for fun to see what I could do. This was the highest ball speed I could record, which is why I took the picture. Typically, I'm in the 160's with a 44.5-45" driver.

Good luck with the return, I'm sure Skygolf or Seth will get you sorted out.

It shouldn't make a difference whether it's off a half inch or not. How else could the unit calculate an iron from the ground and a teed up Driver?

Most tees are from 1 1/2 to 2 inches off the ground. You shouldn't have to raise and lower the Skytrak to be within mm.

Just my .02 cents.
