Tips for Improving the Launch Monitor's Accuracy
If your swing metrics seem to be inaccurate, you can try these tips.
- When prompted after starting a virtual round or practice session, set the ball flight conditions to match where you typically play (Golf Simulator Settings).
- Adjust the target alignment on the launch monitor (Adjusting the Target Alignment).
- Minimize the amount of direct sunlight hitting the front of the launch monitor. If the sun is low on the horizon and the launch monitor is facing it, it can cause misreads.
- Minimize the amount of direct sunlight hitting the club face. Sunlight can reduce the visibility of the club sticker, which can cause no club metrics to be detected.
- Do not apply the club sticker on or near white decorations on the club face.
- Replace the club sticker if it has become dirty or worn.
- Place the golf ball so its logos or markings are facing the launch monitor, especially if the ball has a matte surface.
- Avoid having reflective surfaces within view of the launch monitor camera.
- If possible, avoid hitting the ball from tall grass or grass divots. The grass can obstruct the launch monitor's view of the ball, resulting in misreads.
- Place the launch monitor at the same level as the hitting mat.
