Hello all, new to the forum and starting from scratch. Wondering if anyone knows exactly how far the skytrak cameras take photos? From their webpage it appears only a couple of inches or maybe a foot. Looking to build a simulator and how far I need from the tee to screen determines where I can put it.

Screen can be as close as you want to be able to swing club and not hit screen with the club. -
Unless I misunderstood the OP's question which I believe was how far from the unit the ball should be for sky trak to register I believe the answer is 11.5-12.5 inches or where the red laser dot is.Comment

I think he is referring to how big of a window the ball is traveling through during the tracking process. nothing to do with ball placement or distance from screen. I have no idea but i bet it is all done within the first few inches following impact, maybe some else will know more..Just jumped on board with a SkyTrak August 2015 for my birthday present to myself.Comment

Yes, it's maybe a foot of travel or so that gets measured/photographed. Most people aim for about 10 feet of room between the screen and the ball, but you can go closer if space dictates the need. I agree with Keith- you can go as close as you can swing a club (although you might wear through a screen faster).Comment

Thanks for the feedback! In a perfect world I would prefer the 10 ft gap between tee and screen but I am going to be limited to 6-8 feet. I just did not want to put the screen too close and effect the skytrak reading.Comment

I hit from about this same distance with a skytrak and there is no issue, but it's worse on the screen the closer you get to it.Comment
