Anyone here using the SkyTrak launch monitor?

I'm contemplating getting one for the winter season to use at my indoor driving range. The range facilities does not have wifi so I'm wondering if I can use my iphone as a hotspot to connect the SkyTrak and an ipad to the internet? (I want to use an ipad as well just cause it has a bigger screen than the phone).

Thankful for any tips.

You can of course use the phone for the WiFi.  However, a broadband WiFi is generally better in terms of speed and you may face a limit on how much internet you can use on the phone depending on your package.

My suggestion would be to try the setup you mentioned and see if it works well enough for what you need

What's in the bag

  • Taylor Made r5 dual Draw 9.5* (stiff)
  • Cobra Baffler 4H (stiff)
  • Taylor Made RAC OS 6-9,P,S (regular)
  • Golden Bear LD5.0 60* (regular)
  • Aidia Z-009 Putter
  • Inesis Soft 500 golf ball

Speed and GB limit is not an issue. The reason I’m asking is that the common setup seems to be to connect the Skytrak to WiFi and then connect your tablet/computer etc. directly to the skytrak. I would like to hear from someone who has actually tried this before I spend 2000+.

I've done it. I'm not sure what the question is, but I wouldn't recommend using your phone as the WiFi hotspot.

Visit that URL (the image is a link) and read about it. It works fine. The SkyTrak and the iPad or computer connect to each other via your home Internet.

      Day 126: another busy day, so just did some mirror work. Checking set up and backswing and working on a few downswing feels.

      Day 310 - Working on my follow-through. Higher chest, belt towards the target. Small swings at first, building to a fuller swing (still not thrilled with my short backswing).

      Day 201 (19 Nov 24) - Walked the back nine at Minnesott today, played the “white” tees with the persimmon woods and bladed irons.  It’s a challenge I really like as the clubs are shorter in overall distances.  It really forces me focus on the value of the approach game.     Somehow yesterday’s post did not load / so it’s above.  Today (Day 202) I did some backyard short yardage work - 7i dink  and rolls, 9i chips and 50deg pitches - working to get it in before the rain started around noon.

      Day 51 - 2024-11-20 Played nine holes of Sanctuary Moon with a 6I while pausing in the backswing and otherwise just practicing. If you're into Star Wars, or don't actively hate it… this is worth checking out.
