SPY VIP GolfSpy_X Posted January 16, 2014 SPY VIP Share Posted January 16, 2014 If you have been around the blog or forum for any amount of time you more then likely remember a couple products by the company making the Swing Caddie. Remember me? The Voice Caddie The Green Caddie Well in a great form of branding they are getting ready to release the Swing Caddie (personal launch monitor). This unit just arrived so haven't even been able to kick the tires yet. But wanted to show you what it looked like right away. A little bit bigger then an iPhone and a starting MSRP of $269. Can also be used indoors. Just place directly behind the ball. Pretty slick little device. VISIT: VOICE CADDIE #TruthDigest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hckymeyer Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Awesome, excited to see how this does with measuring distances. Will you be comparing it to a full launch monitor like flightscope or trackman for the review?

SPY VIP GolfSpy_X Posted January 16, 2014 Author SPY VIP Share Posted January 16, 2014 Not sure what we are going to do with it yet to be honest. We are just finalizing getting all the paperwork completed for our new indoor test facility. So going to be some changes going on with the launch monitor we use. Meeting with Trackman at the PGA Show to discuss getting theirs. So in a bit of a holding pattern until we get the new place rockin and rolling. Gonna be a lot of work but can not wait for you guys to come and see it. Thinking we will throw a launch party at the new spot. You guys interested? #TruthDigest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hckymeyer Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Realistically I wouldn't be able to go. Hard enough to leave my wife with a 3yr old and 8wk old to go to Carlsbad, if I tell her I'm going on another golf trip I'm not sure I'd have a home to come back to Sounds like a great idea though, make sure to take lots of pictures!

wbealsd Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 The numbers look off, to me, unless the 84 yards is for average instead of the last shot played. I'd be interested in seeing how well the numbers match to my GC2.

I'm guessing those are just for display. 120mph swing speed with a PW that goes 84yds = not a real shot Driver: SLDR w/ Fujikura Ventus Black 3w: '16 M2 hl w/ Diamana D+ 82 5w: Launcher HB w/ HZRDUS Yellow Hybrid: 22 deg.

dru_ Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I have to admit, this is a product that I am really curious to look at. As often as I tinker with things, it would be awfully convenient to be able to use something like this at will rather than have to go to a shop and 'borrow' a sim or LM.

Blade Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I would buy something like this if it works with roughly 10 feet of ball flight into a net and had spin rate and launch angle and spin axis angle. Without those measurements, the resulting ball flight calculations will be a best guess based on the club selected. I will be very interested in seeing how it compares to a sophisticated launch monitor. You obviously can't expect the accuracy of a unit that costs 50 times more. But if it'sin therange of realistic, that's a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furu Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I'll compare numbers on Swing Caddie and TrackMan very soon. And simulators - HD Golf and About Golf - and Foresight GC2. First impression of the SC device is ok. Feels a little cheap. It costs $450 over here, it has to perform well to justify the price tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
