Works well for price
on January 23, 2025
Posted by: Prosachik
I bought this almost a month ago. Out of the box it sets up pretty easy, but I have struggled to get it dialed in to more accurate tracking. The spin and shot shape is not right yet. I have it set to 7 ft behind hitting area, and about 10-12ft tee to impact screen. It works for practice for sure, but is not accurate yet. I have played some local indoor golf places to assess the differences in distance and spin, and I am finding this to be an issue. Hoping to get it more dialed in.

Great feed back!

A friend of mine has the same launch monitor. We had been talking about it for a while before I bought mine. We talked about the instant feedback while swinging in the back yard. It's nice to have a tool like this when trying to learn a new swing.

Very frustrated

I bought this for winter practice in my shop. I’m very frustrated. Only occasionally picks up my swings. Distance is not even close. Only thing that seems close is swing path and club face angle.

easy to use, ~70% track rate, 80% accuracy
on January 19, 2025
Posted by: SDGolfer
I bought this two weeks, used it a few time at the range. Very easy to setup and use, but track rate is at best 70%, 30% of hits not tracked. Of those recorded, directional deviation is 80% accurate. I'll keep using it because it's easy to setup. But I hope future software upgrades will improve accuracy.

Great for what it is

Range balls just don't compress the same so it's hard to get great numbers on carry but it tracks the ball well. If you walk to close behind it sometimes it throws the next shot off but other than that it is really easy to use. Pair my phone and hit range, switch between clubs and see my dispersion patterns. Favorite thing is to try and hit 50 yard shots which I suck at and is satisfying to see the feedback and be able to adjust feel the dial in the distance.

So far so Great

My wife gave the Garmin to me as a Christmas present and so far, I love it. I have not played any courses yet. However, the practice sessions have been great. I use an Apple AV cable to HDMI connected to a 27-inch computer monitor. In the near future I plan on mounting a 50-inch tv in my garage which i am sure will enhance the experience. Great product overall!

Got this as a gift and found it worked well at the driving range. Has many features. I used it for the first time so I will be using it more once I get a net for the back yard

Doesn’t work without a computer
on January 15, 2025
Posted by: dbt1
Device doesn’t record any parameters in the app (yardage, spin, etc.) but shows ball flight. Technical service said I have to connect it to a computer to repair it. But I won’t have access to a computer for a week. The device should work out of the box. Apparently I can’t fix it with a phone or iPad.
