Make sure SkyTrak is raised level
with the hing surface.
Place SkyTrak parallel to your intended line
of play. Depending on your set up, this may
mean your target is not the center of the
net.
Once SkyTrak is properly connected to
the app on your mobile device, it will
display a red laser dot on your hing
surface. Place a clean, white golf ball
on the red dot.
Placement of Your Golf Ball

Top Tips for Use
1. We recommend hing o a mat designed specically 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 hing o a tee from the grass. Irons and wedges hit directly o the grass
create dirt and grass parcles from the divots that can make for inconsistent shot
capture.
2. SkyTrak performs well in overhead sun. Avoid direct sunlight into the system during
use. Direct sun into the opc lens of SkyTrak can create problems for consistent
shot capture. If available, please hit from a covered area .
3. Use a clean, white ball with a logo or a marked line. Set the ball up with the logo or
line facing SkyTrak for beer spin readings, whether indoors or outside.
4. Prior to an outdoor demo, pick out a target on the range and align SkyTrak so that
it sits parallel to the intended target line.

SkyTrak can be connected to your iPad or PC several ways:
Via a direct Wi-Fi Connecon, through your home network/wireless router or USB
connecon (PC Only).
The Direct Wi-Fi Connecon should be used if
you do not have access to a reliable Wi-Fi
network (such as on the driving range). When
using a Direct Connecon, your iPad or PC
connects directly to the SkyTrak’s Wi-Fi, and
thus, does not have access to the internet.
The Network Connecon via network/wireless router should be used when you have
access to a reliable Wi-Fi network. This connecon mode is required for certain features/
simulator opons where an internet
connecon is needed. When using
a Network Connecon, your iPad or
PC uses the wireless router as a
bridge to connect the SkyTrak unit
to your iPad or PC so the iPad or
PC an maintain a connecon to the
internet.
USB Cable Connecon
Connect the micro USB cable to the SkyTrak device and a USB port on your PC. If using
SkyTrak on the PC via a USB connecon, your PC can remain connected to the internet
via LAN or wireless.
