As we aim to improve the accuracy of the GolfTrak app, there may be some bugs or irregular readings. However, by following these tips carefully, you can ensure that the app provides you with the most accurate and reliable data possible.
A stable tripod ensures that the phone remains steady, which is crucial for accurate readings.
The 4-6 inch height ensures that the phone is at an optimal distance from the ground, providing the camera with a clear view of the ball and club at impact.
A shaky or unstable platform may introduce errors in the readings, leading to inaccurate measurements and poor performance.
This distance allows the phone's camera to capture the full swing and ball flight, which is essential for the app to calculate accurate metrics like speed and distance.
This distance is also optimal so it is far enough behind the ball that you will not impact your phone while you swing.
If the phone is too close or too far, it may not capture the ball flight correctly, leading to erroneous readings.
This distance is required for the app's algorithms to calculate the speed, angle, and trajectory of the ball accurately.
If the distance is too short, the app may not have enough data points to provide an accurate reading.
If the distance is not set correctly in the settings, this may also skew results.
Vibrations from the club's impact can shake the tripod and phone, which may disrupt the camera's focus and introduce noise into the measurements.
This noise can lead to false readings and negatively affect the app's performance.
The camera needs to see the point of impact to calculate key metrics accurately, such as speed, ball path, and launch angle.
If the impact area is not visible, the app may make assumptions that lead to inaccurate readings.
Keeping the phone level ensures that the internal sensors and the camera can function optimally.
If the phone is on an angle, it may skew the perspective, making it difficult for the app to determine distances and speeds accurately.
