SkyTrack - Full Metal Jacket protection shield

[thefooddr]

Guys,
Thanks for your comments.
To doublebogey - The unit is flat on the hitting mat. I did not use the legs that came with the FMJ protective case.
Here are 3 pictures of my set up. (FYI the tape did not affect the launch angles)
I did place the level bubble directly on top of the Sky Trak

thefooddr - Never heard that. Can you describe the conditions? Where is the FMJ / Skytrak (floor, mat)? Is the unit properly leveled such that the bubble is in the center of the ciricle? Is the unit at the same height as the hitting surface?

You have the ST w FMJ too high vs. the top of the mat?

[doublebogey]

i guess every time I move the ST w FMJ (the way I move it I guess) the legs would turn a bit and after a while I realized my ST is higher vs. the mat than it was before so I just re-screw in and everything is fine... Not a biggie as I actually like that you can adjust without tools (but I guess the downside is it will be slightly loose in this case).

Hi awisnia
just received my Sky Track and FMJ. My question is has anyone experience lower launch angles and about 75% less distance with the Sky Track?
Every single shot has very low launch angles < 10 certainly affecting the overall distance!

any comments????

Just twist the feet without using tools to make adjustments.

The rivet nut in the base provides 6-7 good threads worth of engagement to keep the sensitive SkyTrak stable.

Originally, we tested just putting a hole in the steel and sandwiching a nut on each side to save cost, but it really had to be snugged down to stay in place.

doublebogey - Really, higher and higher..just like that? Can you give a little more detail as to how you use the FMJ? The guys at my Gofltec have thousands of hours on theirs and they say it's never happened.

Jtangm04 - Never seen that or even had it asked before It's just a 3/8 - 16 thread.

[doublebogey]

Yeah I've got the same problem. My SkyTrak slowly gets higher and higher each time after use and I always need to readjust tilt each time before use.

Great job on the FMJ case awisnia. There are times where the legs of the case will rotate when I move the case across the floor to better position my skytrak. I was think of adding a nut on the underside to prevent this. Do you know what size nut I should go with?

[awisnia]

Got it - I know a lot of folks have just put a piece of foam on top. The wifi radio is just under the white plastic and there's some concern the signal can get degraded.

True about the Firmware, I was just looking for top protection. Right now, till the fall, I'm hitting into a net. Sometimes the ball cycles up and out.

[awisnia]

Not sure - there's almost 500 of the current model working well all over the world - kind of reluctant to make a major change and get surprised. We have been making subtle changes with each manufacturing run in an effort to continuously improve. (increased the height of the LED window on the last - helps make it easier to see from a standing position)

Some days it's easy to get jealous of people who make products that can be modified with a firmware update!

[Whiskeyjack]

Looks great, waiting to order when new version comes. Any idea when?

[awisnia]

FMJ always in stock - and still requires no tools to adjust the unit with the included bubble level.

Just spin the leveler with your fingers.
