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.

1| Download and install E6 Connect and TruFlight 2 Installation le
on your computer.
E6 CONNECT: https://e6golf.com/update/e6-connect/
Run and ensure that TruFlight 2 is the selected Tracking System.
TRUFLIGHT 2 UTILITIES: https://trugolf.com/support/
This installs all the drivers necessary for TruFlight 2. Continue through
every window of the installer and accept all default decisions.
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.

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.

TROUBLESHOOTING
& FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS
WHAT IF MY CLUBS DON’T TRACK IN THE CONFIGURATION TOOL?
There are clubs that at times will not be recognized by the Club
Head Camera. This can be solved by placing one of the included
reective stickers on the top far edge of the club head/face. The
types of clubs that we have found to be an issue are the at grey
or at black clubs as the infrared light coming out of the club head
camera will not reect adequately o the at nish.
WHAT IF THE TRUFLIGHT CONFIGURATION TOOL DOESN’T LAUNCH?
Check connections and the device manager to make sure that the
cameras have been installed properly.
WHAT IF CAMERAS DON’T INITIALIZE DURING TESTING?
Check connections and the device manager to make sure that the
cameras have been installed properly.
HOW TO ADJUST BALL SPEED
Ball speed is measured by taking the number of pixels that the
ball travels in an allotted time by the club head camera. Adjust
the “CTBallSpeedAdjust” number up or down from the default 1.0
value. 1.1 would be a 10% increase in ball speed, .9 would be a 10%
decrease.
WHAT IF I’M GETTING A ZERO-DEGREE LAUNCH ANGLE?
Repeat the step for Ball Camera Gain and Ball Camera Threshold
settings on both ball cameras.
WHAT IF CLUB HEAD SPEEDS ARE OFF (EXAMPLE BELOW)?
Repeat steps for Club Camera Gain.

GLOSSARY
CTBallAngleAdj
This value is used to tweak the ball direction. It is a pretty solid value
that doesn’t need to be adjusted too much depending on booth
height. The default value is 0.46.
CTLaunchAngleAdj
Increasing this value decreases launch angle more as the ball angle
(direction) increases away from straight. This value increases slightly
as the ceiling height increases. The default value is 6.25.
CTBallSpeedAdj
This is a global ball speed adjustment value that aects the ball
speed of all shots. Increasing this value increases the ball speed. For
our standard height booth, the value is usually around 2.25 to 2.35.
CTBallSpeedLAAdj
This value is fairly constant at .20 for most camera mounting
heights. Increasing this value decreases ball speed more as the
launch angle increases. (Use for nal adjustment.)
CTBallSpeedLAAdj2
Increasing this value increases ball speed more as the launch angle
increases. So if the ball speed on wedge shots seems slower than it
should be, increasing this value with have the greatest eect on ball
speeds on higher launch angles. The default value is 165.
CTFinalLAConst
This value is a global launch angle adjustment that aects all shots.
Increasing this value increases launch angle. The default value is 4.35.
Note: The default values are based on a camera mounting height
above the oor of 113”. Please refer to page 19 in our TruFlight
Installation Guide for values at dierent mounting heights.
