Simulator export guide

Turn a SkyTrak session into one Divot Card.

Use a shot-level SkyTrak / SkyTrak+ export so DivotData can detect the pattern, show the evidence, assign one practice block, and tell you how to retest the same setup.

Current beta status

Confidence boost

Club, carry, offline, launch, spin

Mechanical proof

Needs impact data or coach review

DivotData reads shot rows, not summary screenshots. Missing optional metrics lower confidence instead of breaking the flow.

What to upload

Shot-level data works better than summary reports.

Use the official SkyTrak shot history CSV export from Driving Range > History.

Compatibility note: Best with shot history rows and clear club labels.

Who this is for

Home simulator golfers who want a practical answer to what changed today and what to practice next.

What improves confidence

Clear club labels, one row per shot, carry or total distance, offline/deviation, launch, spin, shot order, and a matched retest.

Export steps

Prepare the file before you upload.

Use the cleanest export path available. If the source only gives a table, copied rows can still be useful.

  1. 1Open the SkyTrak app and connect the SkyTrak or SkyTrak+ launch monitor.
  2. 2Open Practice or Driving Range.
  3. 3Click History at the top of the screen.
  4. 4Click Export in the top-right corner.
  5. 5Choose CSV, then note the saved file location.
  6. 6Return to DivotData and use the upload box at the top of the page.
  7. 7Drop the CSV on the upload box or click Choose files. If the export does not parse, use manual beta review with the simulator source and export path.

Click-by-click walkthrough

Pull the SkyTrak CSV, then upload it here.

The highlighted screenshots show the official SkyTrak export path. DivotData adds CSV-specific notes because a shot-row file gives better evidence and confidence than a summary report.

  1. 1Highlighted: Practice / Driving Range

    Open the range session

    Open the SkyTrak app, connect the launch monitor, then click Practice or Driving Range.

    Note: Use a range/practice session when you want a clean Divot Card. Game and challenge modes may not expose the same shot-row export.

  2. 2Highlighted: History

    Open History

    After the session is available, click History in the top navigation.

    Note: If you are doing a retest, keep the same club, target line, ball type, and setup so DivotData can compare the result to the baseline.

  3. 3Highlighted: Export

    Click Export

    In Shot History, click Export in the top-right corner.

    Note: Export shot rows before closing or overwriting the session. DivotData reads the table data, not a summary image.

  4. 4DivotData note: choose CSV

    Choose CSV

    When SkyTrak asks for a file type, choose CSV and remember where the file is saved.

    Note: SkyTrak may also offer PDF. Choose CSV for DivotData because missing or summary-only rows lower confidence and may trigger manual beta review.

    No fixed screenshot

    This screen can vary by device, operating system, or account state. Follow the note and choose the option that produces a CSV or other shot-level table file.

  5. 5Next click: DivotData upload box

    Upload to DivotData

    Return to DivotData, open Upload, keep the source set to SkyTrak, then drop the CSV or click Choose files.

    Note: A good file should produce a Divot Card with pattern detected, evidence, confidence, a likely focus, drills, retest protocol, and any missing-metric warnings.

Data quality tips

  • Hit at least 8 shots with the same club before judging a pattern.
  • Rename sessions by club and date so retests are easier to compare.
  • Keep obvious misreads in the file; DivotData will flag likely wrong-club or sensor outliers.

What this cannot prove alone

  • Older SkyTrak exports may not include face/path data.
  • Choose CSV instead of PDF because DivotData reads shot rows, not report screenshots.
  • Launch-monitor data can detect patterns, but exact swing mechanics still need richer context, strike data, or coach review.

Sample proof

The upload is only useful if it becomes a focused card.

A Divot Card should show pattern detected, evidence, confidence, likely focus, what not to chase, the practice block, and a matched retest protocol.

Coach-style note

The ball-flight pattern is clear enough to practice, but the exact mechanical cause should stay a hypothesis until a coach or impact evidence validates it.
