Review on Improve Your Golf Game With PlayBetter Swing Caddie SC300I Launch Monitor - Choose From Accessories Bundles For Accurate Distance, Smash Factor And Ball Speed Readings by Dante Obong

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It’s all about the ball

This device is pretty accurate but it depends on the Ball used. I tried it first at a driving range close to my house. It seemed to be 10-15 yards less than the actual target I was hitting. The range used older callaway range balls reduced distance. I went to another range today that had clean new practice balls and the carry distance was very close. So, hearing people complain about the distance being way off there are a lot of things to consider. The ball, weather, Is it level between the ball and sc300, distance between the device and ball and other things. As a data scientist by trade, I make sure to eliminate as many anomalies and outliers as possible. I was impressed with the device and cost.Update: returned to my first driving range and got my original results. I started to wonder if being left-handed affected the readings. I moved the ball in-line with the right edge (as you are facing it) of the sc300i. I got much better results. The range balls (yellow or callaway range balls) still affected the carry but now it was down to 3 or 4 yards not 10-15 yards. The other area that may be affecting it is that there is a valley between the hitting area and the flags. Probably a depth of at least 35 feet or more. The 2nd range with more accurate readings was flat/level.

Pros
  • The device's accuracy makes it a great tool for beginner golfers
Cons
  • Takes time and effort to set up and pack away after use
