Is anyone having issues with the new version of Optishot 2.5?

All the clubs in the club set tend to slice, and go to far, no matter how much you close the club face. Driver re-selects itself while you are swinging a different club. When this happens you know even before the screen displays the club selected, because the shot has sliced and gone 340+ yards. Before I upgraded I had none of these issues, so my area, lighting, and any other variable has not changed. only the program has changed, and now none of my shots are consistent or true. Seriously thinking about resetting my system to an earlier version, at least that way my old OPtishot program would be back and I could practice. If anyone has had these issues and fixed them I would appreciate the assistance.

Version 2.4 worked fine for 10 months.  I updated to 2.5 yesterday.  It starts with the intro screen then exits. Restored 2.4 and it doesn't work now either.

This is a new (10 months) HP laptop with Intel i-3 processor, HD 3000 graphics card (2GB memory), 6GB of RAM, 400 GB hard drive.

Any ideas/input would be appreciated while I wait to hear from DD Support.  Thanks !

I'm having issues with swing results as well, especially with my driver, 3 wood, and hybrid. . I have spoken to a DD representative who made some suggestions but they haven't helped my problem. I am getting a cheap super shiny driver to try out, but i am less than optimistic. If i can't get it to work correctly with the new driver, I will exchange it for a new unit either with the retailer i purchased it from or from DD directly.

i have done everything suggested also I do not think adjusting the clubs is the answer, my optishot worked great before the update!!!

I too am having this issue ever since updating to version 2.5.  Before everything was very close to accurate in terms of swing speed and ball flight and was probably averaging somewhere around 110-115 MPH in swing speed and maxing around 123 MPH  Now it is telling me that I am swinging 145 MPH on average and hitting massive sliceses everytime, even when I purposly exagerate the swing with a closed face.  This only started happening after switching to V2.5 so it has to be something in the update.  Please help.

I use a real ball, have that set, and my lighting and setup did not change before or after the upgrade. I am also getting varied results, but many open club faces. My natural shot is straight or a slight draw, and have checked it outside and then at night on the Optishot. How can the accuracy be corrected/improved. What settings need to be adjusted to get it to read my correct club face (which I never had to do in the older version)

You need to choose the right ball type.., REAL BALL or FOAM BALL or NO BALL, this parameter can be changed by moving the mouse in the right bottom corner, hover over BALL TYPE then choose the right one,

cheers!
