cheers!

Yes There are a lot of people getting the same erratic results, I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH THE UPGRADE FOR THAT REASON. Telling us to adjust the clubs is not the answer, the infrared should read accurately. The new software is at fault fix the update!!!

I had the same problem and found the same as you (moving the ball away made it better). I found an app in the install directory to calibrate the sensors and I ran through that and it seems to be better now if I move the ball to the center.

I have had my optishot for 4 years and it has taken a lot of miss hits. I play every day and have hit many fat shots with no problems.

you would have to have a gigantic screen.. if tees on a teebox are say, 15 feet apart, you would need a screen probably about 18' diagonal. (for 4:3) larger for 16:9. the projector will have a suggested "range' on it in terms of distance from...

Just double click anywhere on the mini map in the top right and you will hit from that location to the flag you have selected

So if you click 150 yards out from the flag you will play shots from 150 yards into that flag

If you want to try...

I have had great luck simply moving the ball back about an inch. just enough to get it out of that hole.. I hear ya, makes it kinda tough, but moving it back a bit helps

I exchanged the optishot this morning for a new unit, all is good now... must have been a defective swingpad.

I would also like to know the answer to this question? I've seen guys placing lights right by the sensors, sometimes even two, apparently this works well. But what type of bulbs?

Loved my opti shot bought a HD projector and wall sized screen what a blast. I live in Nebraska played every night in the winter. Tried a after market turf that was taller and thicker. Also a foam pad.
Both helped but finally had to decide if...

I don't see an attachment. Can you upload it again?

I was having problems with both of my drivers, a R11and a Burner, both are have stiff shafts. Most shots traveled much longer than I normally hit and either sliced or hooked dramatically. Every now and then a shot would travel straight and my...

Just been talking about this with the league admin at www.onlinegolftour.net

Try a simple putting stroke when do your calibrations, and try always keeping your face square to your path

So for the straight cal then use a straight path ( 3...

I received a reading of 158 mph with my driver. Ridiculous!!!!!! Oh, by the way, also got a reading of 88mph so how accurate do you think it is!

Should be a check box that says don't show this again when the message pops up

Just check the box

Hi Kyle,

The turf is meant to be replaceable and a replacement may be found at the link below. If the Velcro is debonding from the Swing Pad housing then the Swing Pad itself should be...

I have the r11 too and found that it gave me shots that were unreal long and unreal hooks tried to but tape over bottom but that didn't help much. then used someone else's driver that had a smoother flatter bottom surface and it is more in line...

I agree. I finally am up and running with mine only a week so far but I can't get an accurate club head spread especially when you have an option to adjust it. Any suggestions?

Check you Swing Path

Optishot is very much biased towards the traditional ball flight theory that swing path soley controls launch direction and so if your coming outside in then you will get pull hook, as opposed to draws.

If you are...

by the way: old laptop Win XP Optishot 2.5, new one windows 8.1 with latest optishot version

In my case I had to create different settings for when using a ball, foam ball, & no ball. Once I customized each set to match my correct swings it seemed to work fine. Also, I had to create different settings for what I call PELZ, Full Swings,...

You have to find someone who owns it and get them to sell it to you.

Yeah if ya looking straight down at pad that would be 3 o'clock to 9 o'clock.

Back swing to 3 o'clock, forward swing to 9 o'clock. Ie a straight path

yes you can putt off fringe or fairway just change club to putter
