Impressed and valuable coach

This is the coolest and most affordable golf gadget of the moment. I use it with my iPad Pro and while the software isn't perfect, it's off to a great start. During the session they call a recorded record that you start and stop you can see your last swing without leaving the session which I really like. Or you can film the entire session and look at the results at the end. It fell a few times, but mostly responded fairly quickly. When I installed it alongside the Garmin radar I have I got comparable numbers so the accuracy isn't perfect but similar to others in this space. The Shot Scatter Tool and Shot Tracer do this great. The software then allows you to click on that speech bubble and watch the video to see what went well and what didn't. Due to the short variance, I can understand whether my changes are better or worse compared to other sessions. This data is invaluable. The Stroke Tracer literally looks like you are observing yourself on a golf course. Tip: There is no slow motion playback in the app, but if you save the video to your device, you can watch it anywhere in slow motion and still. It really helped bring out some of the "high hands" in my shots. Highlights: * Accuracy comparable to this price range or higher. Distance overlay * Accumulated session data * Ability to save and share videos * Ability to change clubs in a session and they will be marked on the deviation chart. Improvements needed: * Accessible clubs are missing 2 irons. I use an iron for driving 2. * The app crashes * Shedding of the indoor mat can be a problem if you don't have enough space behind you to place the device * Consumes a lot of iOS device battery. Not a problem for the iPad, but iPhone users will need charging if they're in range for more than an hour. * Payment options for Pro subscriptions. The subscription model currently dominates. Everything works fine without extra charge, but I personally don't like these models. (You just paid about $500 for the device)
