Great review, Stu. I also have a unit for about a month now. I noticed that sometime you use the carry distance (the pitch mark with the one spun back), sometimes total distance the 198 yard shot. so which one is it? What I find that when you're hitting ball up or down slope, it can be off, also several yards off with 50 yards shots. Do you see this too? thanks!

I've seen some comments talking about wind and elevation changes fooling this device, and I think those comments are missing the point. This device helps amateurs figure out their "ideal" yardages (i.e. flat ground, no wind). Once you have your "stock" yardages, its up to you (or your caddy) to use that information to choose the correct club while accounting for elevation and wind when on the course.

Absolutely right. Thanks for the comment.

I’ve had mine for two months. I’ve put it through the ringer and I gotta say, it is remarkably accurate and reliable. Only issue I’ve had is hitting the range right before dusk, as it needs optimum lighting to perform at its best. But other than that, it’s a gem!

Great accuracy there Stu. Quite an impressive bit of kit! Good that theyre available in the UK now as it creates competition in the 'budget' launch monitors for Mevo, Mevo + and Voice Caddie. Voice Caddie have just upgraged the SC300/i to have spin for all clubs (it didnt do the wedges previously) and video which includes a coaching app similar to our favourite V1 App 👍👍👍 Iteresting vlog once again Stu 👍
@cartersmithgolf 3 жыл бұрын
That’s sounds interesting Kent, might have to get hold of the voice caddies. Is that spin without ball marks?
@KentnDebi 3 жыл бұрын
@@cartersmithgolf yeah you dont need the silver dots with Swing Caddie Stu. Thats Mevo and Mevo + Hmmmm I'm impressed with their latest upgrade, it's sonething I'd asked them to consider a couple of years ago and had some very nice dialogue with them about it. It took time but I guess the algorithm is pretty technical and not something they could just do in two minutes. The video side of it is quite interesting, especially the ability to use the 'V1 functions' 👍

I really like the companies products. I have the R-Motion and have been playing golf indoors during the winter. My only dislike is they discontinued support of the product. So certain promises or suggestions were made that R-Motion would work with TGC 2019 (which is why I purchased) only to later be told the product support was discontinued and they would not put forth the effort to add the capability of using R-Motion with TGC 2019. Still, they do make very good products.

At 8:27 the trace from your video and the one from Rapsodo was wildly different and landed at times quite far apart. Do you know why that would be? Cool device, I'd love one!

It’s a predictive ball trace on the Rapsodo, it’s quite accurate but not perfect in the wrong light.
@Bigdaddy078 3 жыл бұрын
Stu, question for you. If you had to choose one. Which would you choose and why? Arccos or Rapsodo.
@cartersmithgolf 3 жыл бұрын
Hi, for me it would be Arccos as I use it on every shot throughout the whole season. I find “competitive” rounds give different and important figures. As the Arccos system is always active you can just forget about it. I use it for all my clubbing and strategy. Rapsodo is much more a practice tool for club head speed etc.
@redalert2834 2 жыл бұрын
The software probably knows the altitude from GPS readings but not barometric pressure and not wind strength/direction. It is also going to struggle with change of altitude between start and end locations. It should be easy to fool on a windy day, especially on strongly uphill or downhill holes.
@ForetoFourGolf 3 жыл бұрын
super accurate and plenty close enough for 99% of golfers. As you said it is using a mathematical equation to get a the distance, likely a combination of launch angle, ball speed (and maybe spin?) but what about the windy days? How was the wind on the day you used it?
@cartersmithgolf 3 жыл бұрын
Tbh I didn’t have much wind so hard to tell but I would say that (like you say) this can’t be measured as the device and all it’s competitors including trackman, Quad etc can’t equate for this because the data is collected all within a few feet of launch. Saying this you really don’t need to have these numbers as this sort of device is for tracking “optimum” situations for you then to adapt when on the course. If your looking to predict your flight patterns on course and to targets (elevated with cross wind and maybe cold etc) then Arccos is your system. These systems can take your average numbers and apply them to the shot your about to hit. 👍👍
@sandafoks7056 3 жыл бұрын
They said they calculate spin rate in the background to calculate distance but don't show it cause it is not that accurate. (Official staff posted this in a forum. I can search for the link if necessary) Kind of a weird explanation because how can the distances be that accurate if spin is not? I hope they make spin visible in the future :)
