Doesn’t work
I’ve tried multiple tripods at different heights, have adequate lighting, grass, artificial turf, can’t get it to read shots. On top of that if I select right handed golfer, the arrow with the direction to swing wants me to swing left handed. Like the concept, but it does not work at allDeveloper Response
Thank you for trying out Golfboy. It seems there may be an issue with the setup, but it can definitely be resolved. If the problem persists, please contact Golfboy support with a photo of your hitting area. Here are 5 important points to ensure proper setup: (1) Use a plain green mat (or grass). (2) Ensure there is about 7 feet of green mat both under your feet and in the direction of your shot. (3) Make sure the tripod height is set correctly. (4) If the brightness adjustment is unstable on AUTO, switch to a fixed setting. (5) Ensure that neither your shadow nor the tripod's shadow is strongly cast on the mat beneath your feet (although measurement may still be possible in some cases).Hit not registering
I just tried this for almost two hours. First, I side with foam balls on synthetic turf hitting my 52 into the wall. Out of 20 shots I was able to get 3 recorded. So I thought it was probably poor lighting in my house. So I took it outside. Tried both a shaded area and sunny area with real balls on my lawn. Two shots out of 20 registered. I tried different angles of the camera. I tried lowering and raising the tripod. My setup is iPhone 12 Pro with a 4’ tall tripod. White balls. Cannot get it to work at all. Really disappointed as I was fully willing to pay a monthly subscription for feedback on my distances so I could get this new set of clubs dialed in without going to pay for range balls.Developer Response

Love the idea and all the review videos but after many attempts I can’t get it to read more than 1 out of 10 shots unfortunately.Developer Response
Thank you for trying out Golfboy. Any issues related to the installation environment can be resolved, so please check the following: - Use a plain green mat. - Extend the mat 7 feet in the direction of the hit. - Set the height of the tripod (from the floor to the camera lens) accurately. - Adjust the ball's distance settings through customization. Even if the ball is recognized near your feet, if the floor in the direction of the hit is white, the ball recognition may be lost and not measured correctly.
