Other helpful tip:

  • When hitting from the left handed zone, it is possible for a right handed golfer to block the far left camera with either their head/body or their golf club. You may want to get a video of the error actually occurring to see if any obstruction is taking place during the swing.

 

To submit the saved shots, please either upload or locate and send the saved shots through an email to support@foresightsports.ca Be sure to include any useful details related to the shot you took, the type of club in use, and the frequency of the issues occurrence. Please also include photos of the fiducials you are using on your clubs.
