Thanks for the suggestion! I have only used regular balls for short chips. The frustrating thing is when you've got 8-10 ft to the hole 3 inches on the fringe and you can't putt. Then I or a friend chips what they or I think is perfect and it does not register. Then the next one blows 15 feet past the hole because they or I have to hit it much harder. Typically I just offer a free mulligan to compansate on a future hole. I love the Garmin and I won't stop using it...but having the ability to putt drives my scores lower. Especially with the dreaded auto 3 putt! Thanks again for watching and commenting!
Thanks for the valuable info. Due to space, I may need to use a side read device, so I was interested in this. I would like to putt and chip, so the sky track may be my best option. Even though I would prefer to start with the Garmin. The Garmin would barely fit if I go that route, just can extend it at all, I am limited to 15.5’.
You're welcome! That's pretty tight. I would go 9ft to the screen and 6.5 ft to the LM if you went with the Garmin. Then you can't have anyone moving at all behind you before the backswing though. It's hard to get friends or myself to stop moving! You could also go with the OG SkyTrak which is only $995 right now...but how much longer is that LM going to be able to use newer software? IDK. That's why I took the plunge on the SkyTrak+. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Garmin - Try non rct balls for short chips! Worked for me. Very few no reads. I use regular balls 100 yards in. I can chip as little as 3-4 yards.
