Calibrating your device and ensuring you understand whether your device is calibrated correctly, is the single most important part of using your Vertex Golf SmartCore sensor.

Whilst the process to calibrate is quick and simple, the effect of not being calibrated will result in one or a combination of the following

  • Putts not being recorded as the sensor does not understand where it is in relation to the head of the putter.
  • Putts not being recorded as the sensor does not understand it’s relationship between “Toe” of the putter and the centre point.
  • Putts not being recorded as the sensor does not know its orientation to being right handed or left handed.
  • Whilst on the edge of acceptance, putts might be recorded, but data will be recorded, relevant to it’s position during calibration.

It is not necessary to get calibration perfect to the smallest known measurement, our Calibration Code / Process takes care of this and tidies it up.

The Vertex App will walk you through, step by step on how to quickly and simply complete the calibration process.

Step 1: Face Calibration

Simply lay the putter FACE DOWN, slightly raised above a flat surface (You can use a Book, Vertex Carry Case etc… to do this), once confirmed you will run the calibration process in the App and after a few seconds the Face of your putter will be calibrated to the sensor.

The calibration process looks for leading edge of the putter, not the whole face, therefore whether the face of the putter is flat is not important.

NB: If you calibrate with the putter face up, the calibration will be 180° in the wrong direction.

The App Icon will turn from Red to Blue to confirm that Face Calibration has been completed.

Step 2: Lie Calibration

After you have successfully completed the Face Calibration, you will complete the Lie Calibration. Simply line your putter up against the wall, creating a 90 angle between the top of your putter handle and the centre point of your putter (click on image below to enlarge), this allows our code / algorithm to calculate the difference between the flat centre point of the Vertex SmartCore Sensor and the Putter.

The App Icon will turn from Red to Blue to confirm that Lie Calibration has been completed.

Once both calibrations have been completed you can now go and use your Vertex SmartCore Sensor.

Additional Notes for M20 / M22 Series

  • It is NOT necessary to re-calibrate every time you use your device, IF the device is not removed from your putter.
  • If you remove the device and re-insert in to the putter head you will need to re-calibrate.
