Voice Caddie Golf Swing Caddie SC300 Portable Launch Monitor , Black

This works great indoors (have not used it outside). I have a net setup in my house and don't have a lot of room but it is enough for the SC300 (5 feet behind ball and 7 feet to the net are the minimums). I just received it and started gaping my new clubs. I was also able to start tweaking my swing to affect the launch angle, club head speed and ball speed with instant feedback. I have my phone casting to my tv which is nice so I can see the results on the big screen instead of looking at the phone. The device itself shows you the numbers so you don't need to use the app but for me it is easier to see on the big tv. The stats seem correct to me but that is just based on the feel of my swing and the feel of the impact on the ball. I did hit a couple thin that it registered as having extra distance and higher launch angle (which doesn't seem right). Fat shots seem well registered though as they show lower distance, lower ball speed, etc. I should mention that I first tried the Flighscope Mevo based on the reviews and because it tracked spin rate well using the metallic dots on the ball. That may be true but even following the setup directions carefully, the Mevo didn't register most of my shots. I wound up returning it. The SC300 hasn't missed one yet.

I just want to say a few things about my experience so far with this little device. I am an avid golfer, and when it comes to a training aid, I can say I’ve tried’em all, seriously. One thing I can say for sure is that this launch monitor can provide many essential information I can work on for improving my game. The doppler radar inside this machine actually measures both clubhead speed and the ball speed and also measures the launch angle. Based on this accurate measurement, it provides you with the Carry and Total Distance, Apex, Smash Factor, and the spin rate on the app. I’ve compared it with the TrackMan side by side, and the difference of the result was within 2-3%. I have tried many other devices and this was the only one that can give me all these information with great accuracy at affordable price. Highly recommend.

EDIT: So I returned the original unit for a refund without success, bought one of those inexpensive Yupiteru launch monitors and then didn't think about it again. Fast forward about a year and I started taking lessons with a new pro at our club and he mentioned that at his previous club they saw very similar numbers for swing speed, carry, and launch angle between the SC300 and Trackman 4. This guy was a mini-tour player so I figured he must know what he's talking about and it would be worth it to give the SC300 another shot. I have to say that I'm pretty impressed by the new unit and it seems pretty clear now that the first unit I got was just a complete lemon. Where the original unit would be often miss carry distance by 30-40% on 150yd shots, the new unit seems spot on based on laser measurements from 60-200yds. Beyond 200yds I think it's still pretty accurate but it's just harder to get precise laser measurements due to the layout of our range, the carry distances seem to match well with what I see on the course however. The launch angle was really the feature that I wanted out of this, mainly for dialing in wedge and driver launch conditions and it seems extremely good there. The only thing I don't trust at all are the spin numbers. I've hit driver shots that were obviously an extremely low spin ball that fell out of the sky and it was still reporting spin in the 4000+ RPM range. Overall though just a huge difference between the two copies. I'm guessing that my original unit was either just a dud or the manufacturer made some massive improvements via FW updates. ORIGINAL REVIEW BASED ON BAD COPY: I will try to say one nice thing about the SC300 and that would be that the screen they used is very good and easy to use in bright sunlight, if would be better if it wasn't displaying complete nonsense but I guess that's a bit much to ask for $550. To be blunt, this thing is an expensive piece of garbage. There's a saying that "No data is better than bad data" and that applies in spades to this. I took it out today for one last chance at redemption after reading through some forum threads on how to get the most out of it and it was still just wildly inaccurate. It's one thing if the monitor was inaccurate but at least consistently long or short, but it's all over the place. Doing some testing with the driver today there were quite a few times where I could see the ball land well past the 250 marker and yet the SC300 was telling me I was getting less than 150 yards of carry. On the other side of the spectrum it was frequently telling me that I was hitting the lob wedge around 160 yards when I was barely clearing the 50 yards marker with the way I was hitting. If the accuracy wasn't bad enough, I've found I get at best a 50% detection rate with the driver and much less for all other clubs. When hitting off the deck with a 3W and 2H I wasn't able to get it to register a single shot, it either just doesn't react at all or gives an ERR -1 message. Finally, the app that they provide with it seems to be in a kind of pre-alpha state. Nothing seems to work correctly although I'm using the android version so maybe the iOS version is better. I did use an old iphone to update the firmware on the SC300 to the latest but did not actually try the iOS app beyond that. Run, don't walk away from this product. It's an absolute piece of garbage.

Arrived on time. Simply the best piece of golf equipment I own now. Used it inside and out and the accuracy is spot on. The margin of error is so minuscule for us amateur golfers. Mishits don't tell you draws or slices, but the carry distance should tell you it wasn't a pure strike. Put some foot powder spray on ur club face, and you have practically everything you need to make your practice rounds count. Download the app and it syncs all your hits and stats, so amazing. The app definitely needs some work, compared to app standards today, but the entire system is worth every penny.

I use the SC300 on the golf range to look at key statistics - which for me are swing speed, ball speed, carry and apex. The SC300 by and large does a good job of reporting the values on it's LCD screen and the IOS app works well to summarize the data when you're done with your practice. I've had the SC300 for about six weeks and I'm using it to measure if using super speed sticks according to their training protocols results in more speed and longer drives. So far, it looks promising, with my carry distance increasing over the six weeks since I started the training, and my swing speed up about 5 miles per hour. The SC300 is not as accurate as a Trackman, but you shouldn't expect a $500 dollar device to be as accurate as a $20,000 device. When you use the IOS app to average together a practice session, you can tell if you're improving or not. I have not tested the absolute yardage values against another swing monitor yet, but I'm more interested in my relative performance from week to week.

Very good performance although sometimes get confused in detecting a shot specially the driver. Good battery time

Je leert uit de data dat hard slaan niet betekent dat de bal ver vliegt. Juist ontspanning zorgt voor clubsnelheid en meestal ook beter balcontact. Dus hogere smashfactor. Op de range zie je het verschil tussen 150 of 160 meter carry niet. Maar de sc300 ziet dat wel. Ik kan mijn swing optimaliseren. En dat die ik ook met data die ik door de baan verzamel. Echt handig de sc300 neerzetten en met de afstandsbediening de club kiezen en de bal slaan. Het is verrassend om te zien dat ik in de baan minder snel sla dan op de range. En dus ook korte ben. Dit leert mij de juiste club te kiezen en meer greens te raken.

Great tool. Instant feedback to help groove your swing. Works with full range of clubs. Very pleased with purchase. Easy to carry & set up. Now I have to put the work in to improve my game, using accurate feedback.

Estuve haciendo un análisis de la competencia antes de comprarlo y me decidi por este. Valio cada centavo.

Molto buono, anche se manca ancora app per Android. Un sggiornsmento del software potrebbe migliorare misurazione dell'angolo di partenza della palla e l'altezza massima.
