Placing SkyTrak on Hitting Mat

[doublebogey]

If one places the SkyTrak directly on the hitting mat and the hitting mat moves a bit when ball is struck, I assume the reading from SkyTrak will be inaccurate?

I used to always place my SkyTrak on a separate platform next to hitting mat. But today I tried placing it directly on the mat, and it seems like all iron shots (which causes the mat to move a bit when ball is struck) shows excessive side spin (slice) on the ball even when ball is well struck into center (target) of net and does like feel it's been sliced at all. I then placed the SkyTrak back on platform next to mat and the readings are all back to normal again (without the excessive slicing side spin). Has anyone experienced something similar?

Yeh I used to have a similar issue that was resolved as soon as I had the skytrak mounted on a separate mat, I didn't think the mat used to move that much but obviously it was messing with the unit enough for some odd numbers sometimes.

Everyone would experience that issue...mat moves, unit moves, etc.

Even if your SkyTrack isn't on the mat, and the mat isn't secured properly to the group it will move and throw off the readings.

Thanks guys. I wonder what happens if you use a mat that slides intentionally (like the SKLZ Glide Pad)? Would readings be off too?

I use a similar gliding pad, but I don't see issues. The point is that the Skytrak unit itself doesn't move.

Thanks. That's what I figured...
