You track with a SkyTrak.
Now change your game.
Your SkyTrak numbers already hold the answer — most golfers just log them and move on. AVA reads the same session data and hands you the two or three things costing you the most, and how to fix them.
FREE · NO CARD · NO ACCOUNT NEEDED
One SkyTrak session in. Your gapping cost you more than your strike did. A 6-yard hole between the 7 and 8-iron leaves 17 yards below it that nothing covers.
Range session
Only 38% of your 7-irons land within 5 yards of your average.
FIX › Club up off the short misses. Your number is the strike you rarely hit, not the one you average.
Two clubs cover the same 6 yards, so 17 yards below has no club at all.
FIX › Get the 8-iron loft checked before you change the swing. Two degrees puts a club back in that hole.
4 YDS LEFT · 6 SHORT
The miss is the same shape every club: four yards left.
FIX › Aim at the right edge and commit. Setup, not swing. Worth about a stroke a round.
Your first 60 balls are the good ones. It falls off a cliff after that.
FIX › Same total balls, shorter sessions. Two sets of 60 beats one set of 140.
Bring your SkyTrak sessions in
No account needed. Export your Shot History from the SkyTrak app, drop the CSV here with your email address, and AVA reads every shot in it — carry, dispersion, strike quality and gapping — then emails you the analysis, scored the same way as your on-course rounds.
That's one session. AVA reads your whole game.
Range work and course rounds in one timeline, trends over time, a progression that adapts as you improve, and a coach view when you want one.
SKYTRAK + AVA GOLF
Turn your SkyTrak sessions into lower scores
Why your SkyTrak average is not your yardage
The single most expensive habit in indoor practice is writing down the average carry from a bucket of 7-irons and treating it as the yardage. It is not. It is the middle of a distribution, and roughly half your shots land short of it.
In the sample session above only 38% of the 7-irons finished within five yards of the average. That means a 155-yard shot played to a 157-yard average finishes short more often than not, which is exactly what the approach data of most amateurs shows: the miss is short, over and over again.
AVA reads the whole distribution instead of the mean. It tells you your reliable number, the one you can commit to, and it flags clubs where the spread is wide enough that the average is actively misleading you.
What an indoor session can and cannot tell you
A SkyTrak session is measured in ideal conditions: no wind, a consistent lie, a mat, and usually the same ball for every shot. That is a feature, not a flaw: it is the cleanest read you will get on strike quality and club gapping, precisely because the environment stops varying.
What it cannot tell you is how those numbers behave on a downhill lie into a breeze off a tight fairway. It also cannot tell you which of them cost you strokes, because it never sees a scorecard.
That is the seam AVA closes. Session data sets your gapping and your strike baseline; your rounds decide which of those gaps actually shows up in your scores. When the two disagree, the disagreement is itself the finding: an indoor gapping ladder that never appears on the course usually means a club selection habit, not a swing fault.
Practice that moves your scores, not just your numbers
Look at the strike-quality chart in the sample session again. The first sixty balls are good, then smash factor falls off a cliff. Everything hit after that point is teaching your body a swing you do not own, and it is also polluting the averages you are about to write down.
Two sessions of sixty beat one session of a hundred and forty, every time. AVA finds that break point in your own data rather than assuming a number, so the advice is about your endurance, not a generic rule.
The other finding in that sample is worth more than any swing change: a six-yard overlap between two clubs, and a seventeen-yard hole below them that nothing covers. That is a loft-and-lie appointment, not a lesson, and it is the sort of thing shot data finds in ten seconds and a golfer never finds in a year.
SkyTrak questions, answered
Do I need SkyTrak+ or does the original unit work?
Both work. The original SkyTrak reports ball data and AVA reads all of it. SkyTrak+ adds club delivery, which lets AVA separate a pattern you should aim around from one worth changing, but you get carry, gapping, dispersion and strike analysis either way.
Does AVA change anything in my SkyTrak app or cloud account?
No. AVA reads the file you give it and never writes back. Your sessions, your history and your SkyTrak account stay exactly as they are.
Will indoor numbers mess up my on-course data?
No. They are kept as what they are. AVA scores practice and play separately and then compares them, because the gap between the two is one of the most useful things in your profile. Indoor carry never silently overwrites a course yardage.
What about the ball I practise with?
It matters, mostly for spin. Range and foam balls read differently to a premium ball, and AVA treats spin from a session accordingly rather than pretending every ball is the same. Practising with one consistent ball makes every trend in your profile cleaner.
Can I upload a whole winter of sessions at once?
Yes, and it is worth doing. History is what turns a snapshot into a trend: with several months in, AVA can show whether your strike is genuinely improving or whether you have just had a good week.
Who sees my SkyTrak data?
You do. Nothing is shared with a coach, a club or anyone else unless you send them a link, and you can export or delete everything whenever you want.
Do I need a coach for this to be useful?
No. AVA tells you what to work on and prescribes video from Top 100 teaching professionals to match. If you already have a coach, send them the session link: the lesson starts with the data instead of twenty minutes of catch-up.
