That's disappointing. I haven't had many issues with the PC and FSX Pro ever (and I used it last weekend). Although I might have a different experience if I was using the BLP/GC3 on board wifi

I actually updated last week and started noticing some dropouts again where I'd have to restart the FSX app. Might end up rolling back again. Are there any updates in the latest firmwares that make dealing with the intermittent drop-outs worth it? I saw some new tabs in the UI on the BLP screen, but not sure if that's purely cosmetic.
the fsx app BLOWS
But their hardware is top notch

Ever tried gspro?
He's only using an iPad
Not playing much golf atm, but really looking forward to having an outdoor space to practice again. I’m about 6 weeks from finishing my backyard remodel, already have a spornia spg7 waiting. Will probably wait until Black Friday to buy a lm, but leaning towards the BLP. Any words of warning?
Search around the web. The traffic here on this is quite light. I’ve read a fair share of love stories and not so happy repair stories. A close friend of mine has one and so far he has not had any significant issues (fingers crossed).
Appreciate the feedback. I can imagine reports being mixed on any new product. Truth is, I trust THPer feedback over a lot of other places.
Yeah, hard to know when going elsewhere.
I used my buddy’s at the range a fair few times recently and enjoyed it. The IOS app is not great, but it fulfilled my purposes.
I read a recent rumor that the BLP may offer a subscription option for all the data without the sim stuff, which I’d love to see as an option. If I were to buy one, I’d be more interested in the swing/club data than simulation.
Next year will prob be huge for these home LMs.

Zero issue with the one we have for the golf program. And it’s had thousands of balls hit on it, outdoors, and sim setup into a net.

Only issue I had was a screen had a pixel or something die in it, and it made a random black line pop through the screen. Quick phone call and shipping label, they fixed and wasn’t a big deal. No issues since
if you can, go with a dedicated pc. i have found the ios app to be frustrating. sometimes it’s great. sometimes it’s dogsh1t.
i still wish the hitting area was bigger. it’s annoying to move it around as often as i have to and recalibrate the alignment every time. trackman definitely wins in that aspect. but it pretty much never misses a shot, whereas trackman seems to miss a lot more.
this year has been about short game practice and more rounds played. so i haven’t used it as much. but when i start working on full swing again i’ll bust this back out. it’s just so much fun.

It’s lethal for short game practice.
i tried and didn’t feel the readings were accurate. but the area i was practicing on wasn’t very level. that, or my angle of attack is 19 down lol
I would be all over that subscription; that would definitely be enough to push me over the edge.
I do have a pc built for it so the ios option not being great wouldn’t be a big deal. The $800/year sub to unlock all the numbers is my biggest hold up

Interesting, we use ours constantly on the chipping area and the range working 40, 60, 80, 100’s. Never an issue, same readouts as my GC2, with more data.

I've had zero issues with mine so far, hit into a net in my garage and have a PC. Regarding the gold subscription (which I have) I did hear some rumors that they might introduce a version of the gold subscription that gives all the data parameters but is for range only which would be significantly less than the 800. But that's very much a rumor only so wouldn't make any decisions based on that info at this stage.

Gonna guess the level part was the issue. Haven’t had that sorta number ever lol

Same.
yeah i think so too.
Just FYI, they've floated the subscription will increase when FSX Play is fully released for the BLP.
If you plan to keep the BLP for more than 5 years a full unlock might be the way to go. They ran a 4th of July sale to reduce the price of the full unlock by $1k
