cnosil Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Look at short game shots. 20-100 yards and how consistent it reports with real world numbers. If it is consistently off by some yardage I can live with that. If it is randomly off, then that is a huge issue. cksurfdude, Golfspy_CG2, fixyurdivot and 1 other 4 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: TS3 15* w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 6-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 54/12D, 60/8M w/:Accra iWedge 90 Graphite Putter: Sacks Parente MC 3 Stripe Backup Putters: Milled Collection RSX 2, mFGP2, Futura 5W, TM-180 Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfspy_CG2 Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 To answer the White Elephant question that has already come up, right now it is only IOS compatible, and better with certain IOS models than others, more info on that to come very soon. The Android release is in the works now, and could happen by the end of the year or certainly early in 2021 according to information directly from Rapsodo. cksurfdude, 808nation, HardcoreLooper and 5 others 8 Quote G430 Max 10K TSiR1 15.0 Aldlia Ascent 60g TSR2 18.0 PX Aldila Ascent 6og TSi1 20 Aldila Ascent Shafts R T350 5-GW SteelFiber I80 SM10 48F/54M and58K S159 48S/52S/56W/60B Select 5.5 Flowback 35" ProV1 Play number 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did see a review--during my research by the Golf Science Lab guys, he tested from 150, 100, 80 and 50 I believe. The 50 yards like all others was spot on. I do think I saw something that said anything less than 20 or 30 doesn't give it enough flight time to calculate. But I'll certainly try it out from all those distances--verified by either Laser or Trackman. cksurfdude, daviddvm, tommc23 and 1 other 4 Quote G430 Max 10K TSiR1 15.0 Aldlia Ascent 60g TSR2 18.0 PX Aldila Ascent 6og TSi1 20 Aldila Ascent Shafts R T350 5-GW SteelFiber I80 SM10 48F/54M and58K S159 48S/52S/56W/60B Select 5.5 Flowback 35" ProV1 Play number 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'll certainly try it out from all those distances--verified by either Laser or Trackman. I saw that as well. While MGS rated it highest, accuracy was the big issue...with all of them in this price range. I really want a hitting net and something I can use to work on those distances. Basically the ExPutt for short game.

Use foot spray for impact location and if you are hitting into a net you can basically calculate dynamic loft by doing some math or setting up gates to establish launch windows.

It gives launch angle and direction. It also does shot tracer, records your swings, and can provide a gps overlay of all your shots at the range if your device is capable of allowing gps.
