I'm in the early stages of evaluating a simulator build in my garage, and I had a couple of questions that I hope you folks can help with.
One of the big draws for me of owning a simulator would be really precisely dialing in my short game. Currently, once I get within 100 yards or so on the course, I swing by 'feel'. It gets me by, but it's not the best. I'd like to dial in my partial swing distances with each club using the clock method. (For example - I might take 50 swings on the skytrak and learn that an 8:00 to 3:00 swing with my lob wedge carries an average of 31 yards. Then I'd move on to 9:00 to 3:00 swings with the same club.)
I've seen a few threads indicating that skytrak has trouble with short game accuracy, so I'm wondering if it might not be the best device for doing this? Is that true? If so, what exactly does it have trouble with, and how bad is it? Are they working on improving it? Is there a fix on the way?
One more question (totally unrelated) when you physically setup the skytrak, where is the skytrak located relative to the ball? (i.e. how many inches away is laterally / in front of the ball?)
