Chipping and putting in Sim options

[Tbernardmd]

I have JNPG and am wondering if the putting/ chipping is better in TGC or E6. I have a really hard time judging the chipping and putting in JNPG and was hoping TGC was a decent amount better to justify the price. Thanks for the advice.

Yes putting and chipping work great inTGC. Very accurate

Agree with bubs. Chipping and putting works great with TGC.

There was an issue early on with Skytrak but I don't use the short chip correction option and find it's pretty darn spot on for chipping. I would like to slow the putts down just a tad further in TGC but in my opinion it's much better than JNPG.

Sledge, You can set up the speeds of the greens in TGC settings. I have mine set to match my 3 favorite real life courses.

[Sledge0001]

I believe I have mine set as low as it can go but it still seems a bit fast when compared to many of the local courses in my area. 10 feet on my mat is = to about 16 on TGC.

[Bubba22]

Sledge, what settings are you using? Green stump? Is putter boost set at 0?

[Sledge0001]

Hope this clears things up.

High Backspin Correction = ON
Show Club Data = ON

Shot Recording=ON

Horizontal Angle Correction=ON
Putting Correction=ON
Driver through Putter Boost all =0
Short Chip Correction=OFF

Green Stimp=6
Green Firmness=2

Sledge0001 - Can you tell me how make these adjustments? I apologize for most likely asking a question that has been answered many times.

I can't seem to make a putt right now in TGC. I was making putts at first and now it seems that there isn't a hole there. Very frustrating. Looking to see if I've got some bad settings.

[Bubba22]

You could turn the green stimp down from 6 to reduce the putting speed.

[Sledge0001]

Doesn't it get reset though back to 6 after every TGC start?

[Bubba22]

I don't think so. Try setting at 5.

For what it's worth, I believe the chipping/putting is very accurate in JNPG. I have not tried TGC but I can't imagine it being much different if it is accurate. I believe the difficult part comes from normally we don't use yardage/feet mark offs. It is much more about what we see and adjust based on that vs. on a fairway shot, we get our distance and pick our club. Could just be me though.

I am having a tough time getting the Skytrak sensor to observe soft chips, pitches or flops. I am only using the Skytrak's practice range and have not yet purchased any simulation software. I was wondering how one plays simulation golf when those types of shots are not registered. Is it just the practice range and the unit works better in the simulation software or is there something else going on?

Couple quick things to check.
I have no issues with soft chips or flops. Flops have registered as high as 53* LA from memory.

Is your ST level with the your hitting mat?
Is your ST on the hitting mat? I have mine separate on a base.
With flops try the ball position farther up in your stance in relation to the red dot.
With chips try the ball position farther back in your stance in relation to the red dot.

I hit chips in TGC and get them to stop in less than 5 yds. Sometimes this is dependent upon the course as well. The tournament course two weeks ago was brutally fast, this weeks course was fine.

Chipping in TGC is miles ahead of PG. Have not noticed any difference in putting though.

[Bubba22]

No issues with chipping and putting with TGC.

[Stonebattle]

It sounds like the unit works better when operated with TGC software. Still, I can't get shots like soft pitches to show any results to speak of in Skytrak driver range app, so how can it show results in TGC. Is it measuring results but not displaying it in the Skytrak driving range app?

I am very interested in peoples answers as well for jnpg. I cannot get it to read small chips. Any solutions people have came up with would be awesome!
