If there is limited ball flight, the dot can be rotated to point directly away from the target.
- Page 30 Measured Estimated When using TrackMan with limited flight distance (< 30 m/yds), make sure the software is set to INDOOR. In order to receive measured Spin Rates, a special metallic sticker must be placed on the golf ball. If the Spin Rate is not measured If the Spin Rate is estimated/calculated, a calculated number will be provided.
