FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How the GameProofer™ Tag is attached to the disc?

We use a specific very high bond industrial tape. It’s very important that you follow the instructions, when mounting the tag to your own disc. In particular, it is critical that you sandpaper the surface of the disc, and that you wait at least 24h to achieve the ultimate bond strength with the tape.

If I order just the tag, how to get it fixed to the disc?

If only the tag is ordered, the package includes the fixing tape, a wet wipe to clean the surface of the disc, and our special made tool to centralize the tag exactly into the middle of the disc. Follow closely the instructions, and you will achieve the best user experience.

Can the GameProofer™ Tag be installed on any disc? How will it affect the flight?

Adding the tag has the same impact as adding an LED light for throwing in the dark. It makes the disc more unstable. Therefore, we recommend that you select a stable or a slightly over-stable disc. We have tested many different discs and selected the ones which are now on sales because they had the best flight with the tag.

How to activate and turn on the GameProofer™ Tag?

Every GameProofer™ tag is delivered with a branded magnet, which is used to turn on, activate, and reboot the tag. So just hover the magnet on top of the tag, and it blink a short blue light and will turn on. Tag is turned off from the application.

What do I do if the tag comes off the disc?

Very sharp hit might bend the disc so much that the tag will pop out the disc. This might happen for example if you’re hitting a hard object (rock, wall, etc.) with the disc. In such cases, check that the enclosure of the tag is unbroken, and if the tape is still clean, you can follow the mounting instructions to get the tag re-mounted. If the tape is dirty, replace it and re-mount the tag to the disc. New tapes can be ordered from GameProofer™ web store.

Do you need a special charger to charge the GameProofer™ Tag?

No, you don’t. The tag is prepared to be charged with standard wireless chargers. We have tested many different chargers and few steps below is a list of verified chargers, as well as a list of non-working chargers.

How can you measure flight speed when throwing indoors without GPS?

When you throw the disc to the net, you must select the “Range mode” in the application. User sets the distance from the tee (release point) to the net (e.g. 6m/20ft) in the application. Algorithms and sensors will then take care of the rest. When throwing outside, GPS sensor will report the highest speed that it’s able to measure after the release.

Why do you require a minimum distance of 6m/20ft when throwing to the net?

Based on our analytics and high-speed camera footages, there is a lot of disturbances on the disc during the first tens of milliseconds after the release. To achieve the best possible accuracy with certain parameters (e.g. spin), we want the flight of the disc to stabilize during the throw. You can throw GameProofer™ also from a shorter distance, but then the data accuracy might suffer a bit and you might not get all the metrics from your throw.

We are working with updated algorithms to shorten the minimum distance.

How to charge the tag?

For the most comfortable charging experience, consider
following aspects:

  • Make sure that your charger does not have magnets on it (e.g. Apple MagSafe). Our tag is activated and rebooted with magnet so the chargers with magnets will create a rebooting loop.
  • Charge the tag on top of the wireless charger, to have a contact with the tag and the wireless charger as well as to see the led lights properly.
  • If your wireless charger is very thin, place something underneath it to lift a it a bit from the table surface. This way you may place the tag with disc properly on top of the wireless charger.
  • Make sure that the tag is positioned in the middle of the charger. Charging coils of the tag and the charger must be aligned.

What does ATH mean in the app feature fields?

ATH stand for All Time High

Can I change the units to feet and mph?

Yes you can. If you go to ”Your profile” and select ”Settings” from the top right corner. Second option from the top is ”Measurements”, where you can select the units either in metric or in imperial (Standard US).

FEATURES EXPLAINED

Arm Speed

Initial velocity of the tag/disc (in km/h or mph) before it's released from hand.

Flight Speed

Highest speed (in km/h or mph) of the tag/disc after it has been released from hand. In principle, comparable to Radar Speed.

Speed Ratio

The ratio in between the Flight Speed and Arm Speed (in percentage).

Spin

Spin of the disc after release (in RPM).

Wobble (Vibration)

How much the tag wobbles or vibrates after the release from hand, in degrees.

Overall Distance

Overall distance in meters/feet from point of the throw until the tag has stopped moving.

Only available in FIELD-mode.
