TRUFLIGHT2™:
HOW IT WORKS
The TruFlight 2 high-speed camera tracking system utilizes three cameras
simultaneously to capture Club and Ball data: one Club Camera, which
captures Clubhead Speed, Face Angle, Swing Path, Ball Direction and Ball
Speed, and two Ball Cameras, which capture Launch Angle.
Together, the TruFlight 2 cameras combine to provide extremely accurate
shot data, whether you’re hitting a drive, an iron, a chip or a putt.

BALL PLACEMENT
IMPORTANT! WHEN USING THE TRUFLIGHT 2 CAMERA SYSTEM,
THE BALL IS PLACED IN THE TEE POSITION WHEN HITTING A FULL
SHOT; WHEN PUTTING, THE BALL MUST BE PLACED BEHIND THE
TEE POSITION AS SHOWN. IF BALL IS NOT PLACED IN THE CORRECT
POSITION, SHOTS WILL FAIL TO REGISTER CORRECTLY.

2| Position Hitting Mat
• Hitting mat is 35” x 12” or 89cm x 30.5cm
• Hitting Mat should be located in a position where a golfer would not
hit the walls while swinging.
• Commercially recommended at least 7’6” or 2.3m o left/right walls
• The Hitting Mat can be set o center in a simulator but, depending on
space, may eliminate some golfers from being able to swing without
hitting the wall behind them.
• For safety reasons position the mat at least 8’ away and
perpendicular to the hitting screen.
3| Position the Club Camera housing:
• To identify the center point where the Club Camera enclosure should
be mounted, place a piece of tape on the ground on the centerline of
the simulator 6” or 15cm toward the screen from the ball position.
• Use Plumb Bob or laser level and make a mark for exact placement
on the ceiling.
• Install the mount for the Club Camera housing centered on this mark.
• Must be placed 108”-120” or 275-305cm above the oor and be level
on all axes.

4| Position the ball camera housing:
• To identify the center point where the Ball Camera(s) enclosure
should be mounted, place a piece of tape on the ground on the
centerline of the simulator 48” or 123cm toward the screen from the
ball position.
• Use Plumb Bob or laser level and make a mark for exact placement
on the ceiling.
• Install the Ball Camera(s) housing centered on this mark.
• The unit should be installed 108”-120” or 275cm-305cm above the
oor and level on all axis
IMPORTANT! 110” IS THE DEFAULT HEIGHT - SEE “ADJUSTING
SETTINGS FOR CUSTOM BOOTH HEIGHTS” IF YOUR INSIDE HEIGHT
BOOTH IS TALLER.
WIRING
IMPORTANT! DO NOT PLUG USB CABLES INTO COMPUTER
BEFORE INSTALLING SOFTWARE.
1| Power Cable
• Plug the computer power cable provided into the Ball Camera(s)
enclosure and then plug the other end into an outlet.
»You will likely need an extension cord for this; make the length
adequate so that it plugs into a location where you will have access to
unplug when not in use.
»If putting an outlet in the ceiling, it will need to be wired to a switch on
the wall.
2| The two USB 2.0 cables and the USB 3.0 Fiber optic cable should
be run from the computer to the Ball Camera(s) location.
• Handle the USB 3.0 Fiberoptic Cable with care as a bend or kink in
the cable will cause a signal degradation or complete loss of signal.
• The USB 3.0 Cable can either be tucked into the Ball Camera(s)
enclosure or placed on top of the simulator enclosure.
• Plug the two USB 2.0 cables into the two USB ports coming out of the
Ball Camera(s) enclosure.
• Plug the 2 pin Molex cable into the power plug coming out of the ball
camera enclosure.
3| The 6’ USB 3.0 Extension and 2 Pin Molex cable should be run from
the Ball camera Enclosure to the Club Head Camera Enclosure
• USB 3.0 Cable will plug into the Club Head Camera
• To plug in the 2 Pin Molex cable, remove the endcap of the enclosure
and slide out the lighting cover 3” to reveal the power plug for the 2
Pin Molex cable.
• Insert the 2 Pin Molex power cable through the hole on endcap
facing the impact screen.
• Insert the 2 Pin Molex power cable into the power plug.

ALIGNMENT-VISUAL TOOL
TO ENSURE THAT CAMERAS WERE INSTALLED CORRECTLY:
• Using a plumb bob or laser level, determine the exact center (both
side-to-side and front-to-back) of the ball camera housing and mark
that location on the oor with a small piece of masking tape.
• Place one golf ball on the masking tape and another golf ball in the
exact center of the tee position.
• Select the Camera Alignment Grid checkbox.
• Using your computer keyboard, use the Up/Down Arrows to move
the LIGHT BLUE horizontal line and center it through both golf balls.
• Toggle between the Left and Right cameras. If the camera housing
is properly aligned, there should little-to-no change in the position of
the two golf balls.
• If the balls are approximately the same distance from the vertical
line—but not on the same horizontal line—the camera housing must
be moved right or left.
• If the balls are not parallel to the horizontal line, the camera housing
is not perfectly perpendicular (90 degrees) to the tee position.
• Move one end of the camera housing forward or backward until
both balls are parallel to the horizontal line.
Note: Horizontal and Vertical lines help you visually see if the
cameras have been installed square to the hitting mat and centered
with the hitting mat.
