    Perfect golf left bias

    Anyone feel like there is a left bias on perfect golf and slytrak in general? Feel like I make good swings and they are going left. I am a 6 handicap so I know when I am hitting bad shots. I don't hit big hooks on the golf course.

    I feel the same way. I rarely ever hook the ball, especially irons. I hook them all the time on what feels like solid ahots that I would expect to be fairly straight like on the course. I'm about a 4 IRL

      Is this a problem with the algorithm in perfect golf? SkyTrak app seems a lot more accurate than what I see in perfect golf. I feel like if I turn the unit more counterclockwise for a right-handed player it reads more accurately but when you use the alignment feature on the app it almost seems like the unit needs to be a little clockwise termed to be straight. Is TGC any better?

        I noticed the same left bias at different time. When I initially start any Skytrak session, I use the bubble level to check that it is level and the alignment mode to ensure that it is aligned properly. When I used it today, it started out fine but as I hit more shots, Skytrak would show that the ball went left of where I saw the impact mark of the golf ball on the screen. I eventually noticed that the Skytrak unit was no longer level on the bubble level; the top was tilted towards the right.

        After I corrected the level, the left bias seemed to get significantly better. After I leveled it using the bubble level, I checked the level settings in Skytrak and it was 0 degrees for both. Has anyone else noticed that the unit being out of level causes an incorrect alignment?

          You guys are all right handed? I ask because I have the exact same issue but its to the right and I am left handed. My issue was not with the skytrak as I thought it was, it is with my alignment on the course. Apparently I aim a lot further to the left than straight on the course so when I play on the skytrak and am able to line up perfectly straight because I have my square mat all my shots go right. This is an extremely common issue with golfers because of the way your back is tilted and you turn your head to look at your target. I bet if you were to go out on the course, aim straight at a flag, drop an alignment stick at your feet and step back and look at it you will be aimed far right of the flag unlike what it looked like in posture. I could be totally wrong concerning you guys but every golfer I play with (more than 15 different people I have checked so far) aims further to their preferred hand side than they think they do without using any alignment help, and they are anywhere from scratch to 15 handicap.
