2 days with the skytrak unit..

[Jwheels9876]

So I'm on my second day with a demo unit purchased with the Game Improvement package in which I saved $300 off the normal price and still have the 30 day return policy. Day 1 I hit in my yard into a net without really going through the leveling and making sure everything was perfect, I just wanted to test it out and the numbers were a mess. I thought the machine was broken as it was reading my distances way too low....today I took it too the range along with a level and set it up perfectly and starting hitting as my wife kept an eye on the landing spot and read the numbers to me from the skytrak app and damn was this machine good!!! Pretty much every shot was within a couple yards of the landing spot and even the roll numbers looked super accurate as well! I was hitting into a 10-12 mph wind as well so my distances were down a bit from a normal calm day and it just read everything I hit perfectly.. It did fail to register about 3 balls out of the 100 in the bucket we hit but whatever, I can deal with that.... It is scary though watching my wife who just started hitting balls swinging next to an almost $2000 machine that could break at anytime a ball or club smashed into it lol...

If you're thinking about getting this unit I'd say go for it, it's pretty darn impressive for the $$$.. Can't wait until my sim room is built and I can play TGC, I'll be in heaven all winter...

Good to hear you are having positive experiences. Leveling the unit is key. Its also pretty durable. I received mine back after gettingvit repaired die to a rattle (did not effect play) and two weeks later I hit a 3 wood off the toe right into the unit and it didnt even scratch it.

Can't say enough about this For a lot of folks, hitting indoors off a mat you aren't totally familiar with will produce numbers that don't jive with your IRL performance. Just give it time, and just like you did, take it to the range where you are familiar!

That's odd. ST should read longer vs hitting into the wind like that at the range?? Am I missing something?

I was hitting into a headwind so my 7 iron instead of being around 150 was going about 140-143 and skytrak was reading it perfectly it seemed. First time I used it was in my yard with a severe downslope and my 7 was reading around 117 which is extremely off... Taken to the range a few times now and it's pretty darn accurate..

Unless you had the ST calculating for a head wind it should have been reading longer than what you were seeing at the range. Have you any issues with sunlight and misreads/ inaccuracies outdoors. Mine is awesome indoors and outdoors if there isn't direct sunlight.

I did put the wind at like 13 mph or whatever it said on my phone at the time.. Only issue I had was in my yard into the net but my yard is extremely sloped..I'm in the process of building a sim room out there, I have the floor built and level now so I gotta hit some out there and check the numbers. I've had some just not read because of the sun but at my range they have a couple of greens at 150 and 200 and it reads my 150 shots perfect it seems..200 is a little farther out and harder to hit the green but it seems accurate reading those hybrid shots as well
