The SkyTrak Launch Monitor Capabilities

What data measurements does the SkyTrak Launch Monitor provide?

How accurate are the data measurements?

• Accuracy data has been tested against the leading commercial launch monitors with excellent results for all 5 measured data parameters. Our ball flight model has been tested thoroughly through robot and human hit testing for measured carry/total and offline distances and again the results are very comparable to other leading launch monitors.
• The SkyTrak Launch Monitor's ball flight is not affected by atmospheric elements like wind (unless selected in settings) as compared to other monitors outdoors, so there could be some slight differences based on different flight models and variables that would affect the final distance and yards offline.
• The SkyTrak Launch Monitor is extremely accurate and provides a realistic depiction of actual ball flight within close proximity to other leading launch monitors and real world results.

Can I play actual golf courses on my SkyTrak Launch Monitor?

• Yes, In addition to our practice and game improvement system, SkyTrak is partnered with some of the leading golf game developers in the industry to provide you with a realistic golf simulation experience.

What features differentiate the SkyTrak Launch Monitor product from other similar devices?

• Many consumer measurement devices that call themselves launch monitors don’t measure spin or even require you to hit a golf ball. These are not true launch monitors, but rather gaming or entertainment systems. SkyTrak is a photometric launch monitor that uses a series of captured ball images to accurately measure spin as well as ball speed, launch angle and side angle. The key differentiators are accuracy, portability (Wi-Fi) and ease of use.

How should the SkyTrak Launch Monitor be used outside?

• We recommend hitting off a mat designed specifically for golf. Place the ball or the base of the tee on the red dot projected by the laser. If a mat is not available, we suggest hitting off a tee from the grass. Irons and wedges hit directly off the grass create dirt and grass particles from the divots that can make for inconsistent shot capture. Avoid direct sunlight into the system during use. Direct sun into the optic lens of SkyTrak can create problems for consistent shot capture. If available, please hit from a covered area. Use a clean, white ball with a logo or a marked line. Set the ball up with the logo or line facing SkyTrak for better spin readings, whether indoors or outside.
