Clayton Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 2 hours ago, Mtbryant01 said: I was waiting for someone to say something. If you’re referring to the Rapsodo launch angle and shot tracers from those videos, those did not accurately show the flight path at all. The range I was hitting on goes up hill and was throwing off the shot tracers. That’s one knock I have with the Rapsodo is the shot tracer. I might not sky my drives, but I’ve never had any issues with clearing any hills off the tee. I have my current settings for the Cobra at +1 on the 9 degree head as that produced the best results for me during the fitting. Yeah, was referring to the launch angle and very low shot tracer. So it actually gives you the wrong degree LA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think the Rapsodo is producing bad LAs, I think the correlation between the LA and the shot tracers needs to be worked on. The video I attached doesn’t show it the best, but a lot of times, my ball will keep rising, but the shot tracers will stop at a certain point and start going down even though my ball was still rising. That probably has a lot to do with a camera phone trying to track the ball. **Disclaimer: I love my Rapsodo and use it a lot. Just ticky tacky stuff** @B.Boston and @GolfSpy_APH will have the opportunity to test that out soon and see what they think. So we can see if they see the same issue or not.
