FAQ

Every analysis includes: a header (club, session, device), a grid of your key metrics with targets and status, shot shape and bias, a stock shot tracer (side view from your session average launch, speed & spin), an improvement priority (we fix by impact on score: contact → contact depth → shot shape → start line), kinetic divergence audit (your main leak), handicap impact (strokes lost per round and improvement potential), Vector Shot Analysis—written feedback plus specific drills—and a focus card (The Flaw → The Fix → The Drill, with video when we have one). Below is a full sample report.

Pros use TrackMan (e.g. Tracy, their AI swing analysis) and Foresight (often paired with tools like SportsBox AI) for real-time launch data and, increasingly, AI that links ball flight to swing mechanics. These systems are powerful but built for the range and the tour truck—they’re not designed to learn from your history over time or to turn your own data into a clear, repeatable improvement plan.

Where Vector Labs adds value

Vector Labs uses deep learning and AI to analyze your shot data and your history—session after session, club by club. We don’t just show numbers; we identify your main leak (kinetic divergence), shot shape and bias, and which metrics to fix first. Our models are trained on ball flight and club delivery so we can give you written analysis and specific drills tailored to your pattern, not generic tips. You upload the same CSV you already export from GSPro or your launch monitor; we turn it into a structured improvement roadmap. That combination—your data, your history, and AI that prioritizes what to work on—is what makes Vector Labs a real value-add for anyone serious about improving their game. See Vector Insights for more on our approach.

We use a priority order based on impact on your score. We don’t pick a random flaw—we fix the one that costs you the most strokes first, then move down the list. For more on the physics behind shot shape and face-to-path, see Intro to VectorGOLF.

Our improvement priority

1. Contact — If you’re hitting it off the toe or heel, we address this first. You can’t fix spin axis or shot shape if you can’t find the center. Target: Smash factor consistency.
2. Contact depth — If you’re chunking or thinning it (big launch angle variance), we fix this next. Target: Launch angle consistency.
3. Shot shape — If contact is good but the ball slices or hooks. Target: Face angle.
4. Start line — If shot shape is consistent but the ball starts right or left. Target: Club path.

Your report’s Main leak and Handicap Impact come from this order: we find the first tier where you’re losing strokes and give you a clear target and potential gain (e.g. “Improve face angle by 1.2° → reduce dispersion by 14 yards”).

The best “audit → diagnose → focus” AI in golf has traditionally lived only on very expensive launch monitors. We built Vector Labs so the same kind of focus practice is available to anyone who can export a CSV—whether you use a Garmin R10, SkyTrak, Square, Uneekor, or anything else we support.

No hardware paywall

You don’t need a five-figure unit. Upload a CSV from your R10, SkyTrak+, or GSPro session and get a clear Main leak, Handicap Impact, and This session’s focus (flaw → fix → drill). Same audit-and-diagnose loop, for the gear you already have.

Real drills, not just “fix the number”

We don’t only say “your face is open.” We tell you what to do: specific drills (e.g. grip, face control, path) and, where it helps, links to video so you can work on the cause, not just the number. That’s the step from data to improvement.

Mobile-first, range-ready

Your report lives on the web. Open it on your phone in the cart, at the range, or after a sim round. You don’t need a full indoor sim setup—just your launch monitor and a CSV. Focus practice, anywhere.

Your report shows these 12 metrics. Below we explain each one. For detailed guides on every metric—what it measures, why it matters, and typical ranges—see our Launch Monitor Metrics hub.

Software: GSPro

We recommend GSPro for simulator software. It’s the best option for Vector Labs: it works with almost every major launch monitor and exports a consistent CSV from the Practice Range so your analysis is accurate. GSPro is subscription-based (annual fee). No other sim software gives us that combination of compatibility and clean data.

Pair GSPro with a quality launch monitor

Pairing GSPro with a quality launch monitor is the way to go. Among the setups we see most—and that dominate in communities like the Simulator Golf Tour (SGT) Discord—these are our top recommendations:

• Garmin R50 — all-in-one with screen, strong data, great GSPro integration
• SkyTrak / SkyTrak+ — huge home-sim adoption, SkyTrak+ adds club data
• Square Golf (Square, OMNI) — budget-friendly and growing fast in the GSPro crowd
• Uneekor — Eye XO, Eye XO2, QED, Eye Mini; premium data, very popular in sim bays

We also support Garmin R10, Rapsodo MLM2PRO, Bullseye, and the premium tier—Foresight (GCQuad, GC3, BLP), TrackMan, FlightScope—all work with GSPro and export the same clean CSV.

Where to buy (affiliate partners)

We partner with trusted retailers for launch monitors, screens, enclosures, and sim gear. Purchasing through these links supports Vector Labs at no extra cost to you:

• Carl’s Place — screens, enclosures, impact screens, simulator packages
• PlayBetter — launch monitors, golf tech, training aids

• Export right after your session when possible; some software doesn’t store shot history long-term.
• Keep default column names when exporting—Vector Labs recognizes common headers from each device.
• Upload one session (one club or one range session) per CSV for the clearest analysis.

GSPro simulator software connects to many launch monitors. Export from the Practice Range.

1. Open Practice Range or Driving Range in GSPro. Your launch monitor must be connected and calibrated.
2. During or after your session, click the clipboard icon in the top-left to open the shot data panel.
3. Review shots; optionally delete mis-hits with the trash icon.
4. Click Export CSV. The file is usually saved to your desktop or downloads folder.
5. Upload the CSV in your Vector Labs dashboard.

Method 1: Garmin Golf app (R10 and R50)

Use when you’ve recorded a range session in the app.

1. Open the Garmin Golf app on your phone.
2. Go to your Profile → Activities (or Scorecards).
3. Select the Driving Range session you want to export.
4. Tap the three dots (⋯) menu in the top right.
5. Choose Export to CSV and email the file to yourself (or save to Files).
6. Upload the CSV in your Vector Labs dashboard.

Tip: If your phone language or region uses commas for decimals (e.g. 123,4 instead of 123.4), the CSV may look different—Vector Labs accepts both formats.

Method 2: GSPro (sim users)

Export your session from GSPro’s Practice Range and upload the CSV. Columns are standardized for the most accurate analysis.

R50 note: The R50 has a built-in screen and can run “Home Tee Hero” and other games on the unit. For those native sessions you must use Method 1 (Garmin Golf app). For sessions you play in GSPro on your PC with the R50 connected, use Method 2.

GCQuad, GC3, GC2, Bushnell Launch Pro (BLP)—same export steps for all. BLP users need Gold subscription for GSPro.

Method 1: GSPro

Export your session from GSPro’s Practice Range and upload the CSV.

Method 2: FSX Pro (iPad/PC)

FSX Pro is the dedicated fitting/range app (not FSX Play games). Go to the Reports tab → select your session → click the Export CSV icon. Important: If you’re on a Bushnell Launch Pro with the “Ball Data Only” plan, we can only analyze your carry distances; we cannot analyze swing path or face angle.

Method 3: FSX Live (cloud)

Log in at performance.foresightsports.com, open your session, and download the CSV. Make sure your data has synced from the unit first.

Method 1: GSPro

Export your session from GSPro’s Practice Range and upload the CSV.

Method 2: Uneekor View (Power U Report)

From Uneekor’s native View software, use the Power U Report or session export to generate a CSV. Export the file and upload it in your Vector Labs dashboard.

Original SkyTrak and SkyTrak+ use different data columns (SkyTrak+ includes measured club data; see table below).

Method 1: Native app (SkyTrak app or PC)

The workflow is the same for both models.

• Mobile (iOS/Android): History → Select Session → Export → CSV (requires native Mail app).
• PC: History → Select Session → Export → Save to Disk.

1. Complete a practice session in the SkyTrak app (or SkyTrak Plus software).
2. Open Session History, Shot List, or the summary for that session.
3. Look for Export, Export CSV, or share/save option (menu ⋮ or Settings/Data).
4. Save or download the CSV and upload it in your Vector Labs dashboard.

SkyTrak vs SkyTrak+ data

SkyTrak+ includes measured club data; original SkyTrak does not. Vector Labs recognizes both.

SkyTrak+ CSVs can include: Club Head Speed, Smash Factor, Club Path, Face Angle, Face-to-Path. The original SkyTrak may sometimes show a “Club Speed” column, but it is a calculated estimate (from ball speed and assumed smash), not a radar measurement.

Method 2: GSPro

Export your session from GSPro’s Practice Range and upload the CSV. See GSPro simulator software above for steps.

Method 1: TrackMan Performance Studio — PC

Use TPS on PC for the richest data (Spin Loft, Impact Location when supported). MyTrackMan.com offers limited CSV download (reports/PDFs only).

1. Open TrackMan Performance Studio (TPS) on your PC.
2. Go to Shot History or Shot Analysis.
3. Select the session you want to export.
4. Important: Switch the view from “Trajectory” to Table View (list icon).
5. Select the shots you want (or Ctrl+A for all).
6. Click the Export button (usually top right or top left—look for a “Share” or arrow-out-of-box icon).
7. Choose CSV (or “Trackman CSV”), save to your computer, then upload the file in your Vector Labs dashboard.

Method 2: GSPro (sim users)

Export your session from GSPro’s Practice Range and upload the CSV.

Method 1: Cloud Export (Mevo+ / most users)

Sync from the app, then download CSV from the web portal.

1. Sync the session: Ensure the tablet/phone has internet access and the session has synced to the cloud.
2. Go to the portal: Log in at MyFlightScope.com.
3. Select session: Click Sessions and open the specific range session.
4. Export: Look for the Export or Table icon (usually top right). Select Export to CSV.

Method 2: FS VX app (direct export)

From the tablet: Review Session → Share/Export → CSV.

1. Go to Review Session.
2. Tap the Share/Export icon.
3. Select CSV.
4. Email the file to yourself.

Method 1: GSPro (MLM2PRO)

Export your session from GSPro’s Practice Range and upload the CSV.

Method 2: R-Cloud (native)

You cannot export a CSV from the Rapsodo mobile app (phone or iPad). To get a CSV when you’re not using GSPro, you must use R-Cloud on a computer.

1. Sync your session in the Rapsodo app on your phone or tablet.
2. On a PC or Mac, go to rapsodo.com/cloud and log in.
3. Open the session you want and click Export to CSV.
4. Upload the file in your Vector Labs dashboard.

Note: Full cloud history and export are often part of the Premium subscription. Free accounts may have limited access to bulk export.

Native app: Practice / Driving Range only (no shot-by-shot export from course play). Use range sessions or GSPro.

Method 1: GSPro

Export your session from GSPro’s Practice Range and upload the CSV.

Method 2: Native app (Practice / Driving Range)

In the Square Golf app, use Practice or Driving Range mode, then save or export the CSV (you may need to email it to yourself or upload from your phone/PC). Upload the file in your Vector Labs dashboard.

Method 1: Native software (Wiz / I Launch app)

The software that comes with the Bullseye LM has a Data or History section for export. Bullseye units are usually connected to a PC, so the file saves directly to your computer.

1. Open the Bullseye/Wiz software on your PC and go to Shot History or Data Analysis.
2. Select the session or the shots you want.
3. Click Export CSV; the file saves to your PC.
4. Upload the CSV in your Vector Labs dashboard.

Method 2: GSPro (sim users)

Export your session from GSPro’s Practice Range and upload the CSV.

Covers the Full Swing KIT (portable). Installed Sport/Pro sims: use GSPro integration when available.

Method 1: GSPro (KIT)

Connect the KIT to your PC, play in GSPro, then export CSV from GSPro’s Practice Range and upload in your Vector Labs dashboard.

Method 2: Full Swing app (iOS)

You need an iPad or iPhone. Open the Full Swing app → go to the History tab → select the session → tap Share/Export (top right) → choose CSV. Upload the file in your Vector Labs dashboard.

If your monitor works with GSPro, we can support you.

Many launch monitors and sim units connect to GSPro even if we don’t list them by name. If yours does, export your session from GSPro’s Practice Range and upload that CSV—you’ll get the same full analysis as everyone else. No need to hunt for an export button in your unit’s native app; GSPro gives us consistent, readable data every time.

If you’re not using GSPro, we still accept CSVs from other apps. If your software exports a spreadsheet with columns like Carry, Ball Speed, Club Speed, Spin, or Launch Angle, try uploading it—our lab often recognizes similar column names.

For help or to request support for another device: [email protected]

We need CSV files with measured ball flight data (speed, launch, spin, carry, and ideally club path/face). Devices that don’t record this data—or don’t let you export it—can’t produce reliable Vector Labs analysis. If we run our engine on bad or guessed data, you’d get wrong advice; we list the following as incompatible or not recommended so you know upfront.

Display-only units (no CSV export)

These show numbers on a screen but have no way to send a CSV to a computer: PRGR (Black/Red pocket monitor), Yupiteru, Swing Caddie SC300 / SC300i (Voice Caddie). Great for quick feedback, but you can’t extract data for analysis.

Toy simulators (estimated / non-measured data)

These use infrared or clip-on sensors to guess ball flight; they don’t measure it. Spin and other values are not reliable: OptiShot / OptiShot 2, Phigolf, Tittle X. Running our physics and coaching on this data would produce wildly incorrect recommendations.

Closed or limited export

Voice Caddie SC4 (and similar) may look like a pro monitor but natively tie into E6 Connect rather than GSPro; getting a proper CSV with spin axis from the MySwingCaddie app is difficult. We list these as not recommended unless you can export via GSPro or another supported path.

Bottom line: If your device doesn’t appear in our supported list and doesn’t work with GSPro, we need CSV files with measured ball (and ideally club) data. Devices like OptiShot, Phigolf, and PRGR don’t provide that and are not compatible with Vector Labs analytics.
