REGISTER THE QUADMAX 

1. Connect the QuadMAX to Foresight Sports software applications (FSX Play, FSX 2020, or FSX Pro).  

The QuadMAX will complete online registration every time it connects to a Foresight Sports software application, as long as the computer is connected to the internet. Registration will occur over all connection types and will renew even if registration has not expired. Registration can be confirmed by navigating to the About screen. 

2. Connect the QuadMAX directly to the internet via Ethernet. The QuadMAX will complete online registration when it is connected via Ethernet cable directly to an Internet source (e.g. Router). Registration over Ethernet typically takes between 45-60 seconds and can be confirmed by reviewing the registration renewal date on the appropriate About screen. A restart may be necessary if registration is not successful on initial connection of Ethernet cable. 

To properly use the QuadMAX, place the device upright on a level surface approximately 22” away from the hitting area. If a hitting mat is used, make sure the device is raised to the same level as the hitting surface. For extra stability on uneven surfaces, the kickstand can be deployed at the bottom of the unit. 

​

The QuadMAX on-screen placement aid displays the golf ball position relative to the hitting zone. The center of the zone sits approximately 22” from the front of the QuadMAX, and the zone varies in size depending on the mode. The zone is approximately 14” x 14” with Club Tracking enabled, and 18” x 14” with Club Tracking disabled. 

The MyTiles feature on the Foresight Sports QuadMAX provides an opportunity for the user to customize the presentation and timing of data on the QuadMAX display. This feature works by pairing a QuadMAX to the Foresight App on a smartphone, creating a custom preset, then pushing the preset to the QuadMAX.  

 

Pairing QuadMAX and Foresight App 

 

Pairing the QuadMAX and Foresight App can be done in two ways. The first method for pairing is to navigate to the MyTiles section of the device menu so that the QR code is displayed on screen. The presented QR code can now be scanned by a smartphone.  If the smartphone does not have the Foresight App installed, the device will navigate to the app store for installation of the app. If the smartphone does have the app, the app will open, pair with the QuadMAX device, and allow for MyTiles customization. The second method, from the Foresight App a scan for devices can be performed.  Ensure that the QuadMAX is powered on and in Bluetooth range prior to executing a device search from the Foresight App.  Scanning for devices will show all devices that are powered on and in range and the connection can be made by selecting the device with which connection is desired.   

 

Creating a new MyTiles preset 

 

From the MyTiles section of the Foresight App, new presets can be created and pushed to the QuadMAX. To create a new preset, the number of screens must be selected (up to 3 screens), then select each screen to determine which data to display. The data can be displayed in pre-selected configurations of 1, 2, 3, 4, or 6 data tiles. Select the data that will be displayed on screen 1, then select the desired time for screen 1 to be displayed. Repeat this process for the remaining screens. Once the MyTiles preset has been established, it must be named and then pushed to the QuadMAX as the active data preset. In the Foresight App multiple MyTiles presets can be created and a maximum of 5 preset can be pushed to the QuadMAX.  The active preset can be changed on the QuadMAX device by navigating to the MyTiles menu. 

 

MyTiles Menu 

 

From the QuadMAX home screen the MyTiles menu can be accessed by pressing the Main Menu button, then pressing the MyTiles button on screen. From the MyTiles menu, a preset can be selected as the active MyTiles preset.  The default data display configuration can be selected by the “DEFAULT” preset. Additional instructions on using the MyTiles feature can be found within the Foresight App. 

 

 

 

Press the Menu button to display the menu offerings and then press the "SESSION CAPTURE" button to access this menu item. Press the "START NEW SESSION" button to begin a Session Capture.  The Session Capture feature offers a way to capture data from a practice session that later can be pushed from the QuadMAX to the Foresight App and reviewed after the session. Once a Session Capture has begun, a [rec] icon will show up on the ball find screen indicating that the session is open and shot data is being saved.  When done, the session can be closed by either powering off the QuadMAX or returning to the "SESSION CAPTURE" menu to close the session. 

Sessions can be retrieved from the QuadMAX by pairing the device with the Foresight App and retrieving sessions.  Once a Session Capture has been retrieved to the Foresight App from the QuadMAX, the session will be permanently removed from the QuadMAX.  The QuadMAX is capable of saving up to 5 sessions and will indicate how many sessions are currently stored on the device in the Session Capture menu. Navigate to the Foresight App instructional section for more detail on how to retrieve saved sessions. 

Press the Menu button to display the menu offerings and then press the "SPEED TRAINING" button to access this menu item. Press "START" to begin the swing speed training mode. The status light will indicate SPEED TRAINING mode by blinking an amber color.  The SPEED TRAINING mode puts the QuadMAX into a state where it is no longer looking for a ball or ball launch to capture swing speed data.  The QuadMAX will continuously look for a club with a single fiducial to pass through the hit zone and will display club head speed as a single data point on screen when this event is detected. SPEED TRAINING mode will time out after 5 minutes without detecting an event and return to default ball find behavior.   

To best use the Speed Training mode, place a marker down in the middle of the hit zone to help guide the appropriate place for speed training swings.  This can be done by putting the QuadMAX in standard launch detect mode (ball or club enabled are both acceptable) and placing a ball down in the middle of the hit zone using the QuadMAX display to guide ball placement.  Once the center of the zone is found, replace the ball with a small flat marker (a ball marker or tee pushed all the way into the ground will work well).  The QuadMAX can now be set into Speed Training mode and swings should be taken directly over the marker that has been placed. 

The “TARGET ALIGN” menu does not need to be accessed to set a downrange target. Simply lay your Foresight Sports alignment stick (provided with the QuadMAX) down in the ball find zone, aligning the stick with the downrange target. The QuadMAX will chime, and the LEDs will blink, indicating that it has adjusted alignment as well as indicate on screen how the alignment has been adjusted.  Target alignment can be adjusted up to 10° on the QuadMAX via the FSS Alignment Stick. 

 

Once the QuadMAX has chimed, the alignment stick can be removed from the hit area and the new target line has been set.  

Checking and resetting the alignment can be done from the “TARGET ALIGN” menu. Press the Menu button to display the menu offerings and then press the "TARGET ALIGN" button to access this menu item. The target alignment screen shows the current alignment configuration of the device.  

 

If the alignment has not yet been adjusted, the display will read “DEFAULT CONFIGURATION.” To reset the target alignment to the default, press the RESET button on screen. 

 

After a few seconds, both LED indicators will show yellow and the unit will give an audible tone. The new alignment angle will be shown on the LCD screen.  

Alignment can be viewed and reset at any time from the Target Alignment menu in System Options. To reset alignment to factory default in this screen, press the OK key. Alignment is always reset when the unit is powered off. 

Press the Menu button to display the menu offerings and then press the "SETTINGS" button to access this menu item. Once a setting is changed, it will be automatically saved once the screen is exited. 

System Info 

Press the Menu button to display the menu offerings and then press the "SYSTEM INFO" button to access this menu item. 

Within the diagnostics menu there are four screens which can be cycled through by pressing the desired screen number in the upper left. The first (default) screen provides you with the option to save the images needed to diagnose issues or questions with the performance of the device.  This shot saving is a troubleshooting tool, not a way to record session data. During shot saving, the file names will be displayed. Shot saving can take up to 60 seconds. Once your device is connected to a computer via USB, you will be able to retrieve saved shots if necessary to share with tech support.

In order to capture club data with the QuadMAX, club markers must be applied to the clubface. To apply markers using the dispenser (included): 

 

 

Four Marker Placement

Count the club’s score lines to determine the vertical center of the clubface.  

Note: For clubs with an even number of score lines, the vertical face center will be between the center two score lines. For clubs with an odd number of score lines, the vertical face center will be directly on the center score line.  

Carefully apply the first two markers along the vertical center of the face near the outer edge of the score lines,* keeping both markers level with each other.  

The center point between these two markers will define the horizontal center of the face.  

Carefully apply the last two markers on the toe of the club face at the top and bottom edges of the ball strike zone. 

 

Four Marker Placement For Irons

From the bottom of the club, count score lines up to find the approximate vertical hitting center.  

Carefully apply the first two markers between the sixth and seventh score lines at the toe and heel, keeping both markers level with each other.*  

The center point between these two markers will define the horizontal center of the face.  

Carefully apply the last two markers on the toe of the club face at the top and bottom edges of the ball strike zone. 

 

Single Marker Placement

For best results, place the marker high on the clubface and as close to the horizontal center as possible.
