Skytrak suggestions / comments
New poster but I have been on forums for a while following ALL the Skytrak drama.
I received my unit about a month ago and consider myself one of the lucky ones. It has been working well since day one and even more so since V2.1.
I take my practice seriously and with 2 kids under the age of 2 (one newborn) I needed a more effective way. I purchased the unit more for range time than Sim, but Sim would be nice one of these days and I understand everyone's frustration.
Throwing a request out there if anyone is listening. When practicing I really find it helpful doing ladder drills in the target challenge mode. I start with a 60 degree and work through all my irons trying to get a certain amount of points before I move onto the next. One thing I hate is after every challenge I have to select "new game" which logs me back out of target challenge, then I have to select mode again and input difficulty level, # of shots and distance. I wish while in target mode a "new game" would bring you right back to the screen saving your hard-coded inputs and let you select new distance. Or if there was an option inside the targeted distance challenge you are in to select new distance. It's not a huge deal, but when you have sleeping kids and only 20 minutes to hit balls, it kind is.
Lastly something I noticed in regards to previous posts on high spin rate shots and distance. My high wedges also seemed a bit short to what I normally see on course. I was hitting with soft Wilson duos and proV1s. I hit a few the other day with Titleist Velocities and spin rate was down substantially on high wedges and distance seemed more accurate. Maybe this will help some?
Looking forward to the progression of Skytrak and all-in-all I am a satisfied customer at the moment.
