Last year, we put two of the more budget friendly, portable launch monitors to the test at the driving range - the Mevo+ and the SkyTrak - so we thought, “Why not try a higher end, but much less portable, Uneekor EYE XO setup at the range?”
We like to make things hard on ourselves so it's easy on you. Isn’t that so nice of us?
Let us start by saying the EYE XO is by no means meant to be used outdoors. However, we wanted to see how accurate the carry distances on the simulator were compared to real life. So we set up a Carl’s Place Pro Enclosure frame made out of 2-inch Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT), mounted our EYE XO to the frame and protected it, brought our Carl’s Place 4’x9’ Hitting Mat, and hooked up a computer to test it out at the 59er Bar and Grill driving range.
We used a hitting mat to help the EYE XO see the ball better, but also to protect the grassy area near the bar and restaurant; we needed to be close to the building to get power for both the EYE XO and computer, but the actual grassy hitting area is much farther away from power.
We postponed our test once due to high winds. The next day was a little breezy, but not enough to have too much of an impact on numbers. The breeze was mostly right-to-left, but also might have been a bit of a tailwind at times. Since the EYE XO is not made as an outdoor launch monitor, we were unable to change weather conditions in the Succeed software to match our real life conditions.
Our driving range was relatively flat until about the 200 yard point, where it started going uphill a bit. Typically hitting uphill will take off some distance in real life, while the EYE XO would have no idea about the hill we were dealing with in real life.
Considering taking all the variables into account, we were very happy with the results!
