Are multiple stickers required for face angle or is it using just a single sticker?

The face angle metric is derived with photo capture and the club being used requires a club tracking sticker attached to the face.

The tracking mode prior to starting a session on the Approach R50 can be adjusted to set the tracking mode to "Ball Data Only" or "Ball & Club Data".

To receive club data, apply the provided stickers as instructed in the quick start guide that comes included in-box with the R50.

The Approach R50 comes included with 250 club tracking stickers.

Thanks for the quick replies! I have another question and I couldn't find any information about it in the documentation. What are the dimensions of the ball detection/hitting zone? I see in the manual that there is mention that the size of the zone is dependent on whether or not club data is enabled but no actual dimensions are specified.

R50 placement and setup suggestions are outlined on the support page linked here: Tips for Approach R50 Placement

The size of the zone is not specified, as the shot location is confirmed as correct by the light bar indicator at the bottom of the device.

The spacing requirements for the hitting mat being used is defined in the article above, along with the recommendations of the spacing from the shot location to the R50.

Cody thanks for the info! When people talk about measured data vs calculated data, would you say that the derived face angle metric falls somewhere in between or?
