What club were you using here?Went out and swung a bit today to get baselines. I was just trying to do my swing. My swing is whack
I like that I do have hand speed. I need to work on my tempo and my release. Digging through the drills to see what I can find...

my average loft change is 1.4. what length putt are you drilling?What are you all seeing in loft change. Here are a few screen shots from yesterday. Of utmost importance to my game is the need to control and make a consistent back stroke.

Putts in above posts were 10 footers on sim turf.my average loft change is 1.4. what length putt are you drilling?
I think I'm fairly consistent when 10 ft and under. For m, things break down with I start working on long lag putts. Also, when I have a breaking putt, I can see my body fighting my eyes in the data. As my face angle at impact starts to deviate more in the direction of the break from my normally consisting -0.4 deg closed on shorter and straight putts.

So this brings up a question for me. Where does “straight back straight through “ break down? 3 degrees? 5 degrees? 20???85 putts today with blast. Broken down into 20 or 25 put groups from 5 foot and 10 foot distances. Tempo, back stroke and forward stroke are in a good spot as is putter face rotation average. Loft increase is not good by any means. Need to tighten up range on face angle at impact and solve the loft increase. Loft increase is definitely a mechanical issue in my swing.
Data provided by blast will help me for sure. Thought I was pretty much straight back straight thru blast is proving that not to be so true. I have at least a 5+ degree rotation back and forward.View attachment 9053467View attachment 9053468View attachment 9053469View attachment 9053470View attachment 9053471View attachment 9053472View attachment 9053467View attachment 9053468View attachment 9053469View attachment 9053470View attachment 9053471View attachment 9053472View attachment 9053467View attachment 9053468View attachment 9053469View attachment 9053470View attachment 9053471View attachment 9053472
Very good question. One that I don’t know the answer to. I’m sure someone here can shed some light on that. @Jman possiblySo this brings up a question for me. Where does “straight back straight through “ break down? 3 degrees? 5 degrees? 20???
no one is truly SBST. So where is that line that some toe hang is beneficial?
Hey Nilnats, sorry to hear your experience wasn't what you expected. I am very surprised to hear that you had issues with accuracy. A couple of questions:I tried it out for 6 months. Changing my full swing tempo wasn't working for me. Lead to more problems than improvement. I also question the data. Unfortunately, no trackman to do comparisons but i do have a sc300i. With an 11 degree driver, i intentionally hit up resulting in a 20 degree launch angle and this device says negstive AOA. Go figure. On putting, i have one of those gate putting trainers. I know when the ball path is left or right bc it hits a peg, 14 inches away. So i intentionally rotate close or open and just looking for some consistency but this device just disappoints.
I don't see how this feedback is use full to me. I will rate this 1star out of 5 crediting them for a clean and simple design that works well with apple only. Good luck.
V14_Heels,Hmm...well I got some things to overcome with mine. I recently bought a new Evnroll putter that I was fit into by CC. I got it about 4 days ago, and the first time I tried the sensor with it, it had a standard size Winn grip, that didn't suit me at all. I've since had it regripped with a Super Stroke Pistol Grip 2.0, and there ain't no way I can get this Blast adapter to fit onto that grip, which is problem #1. But problem #2 is I use Arccos which makes this even more complicated, because even if it did fit I'd have to remove my Arccos everytime, this isn't as big of a deal on regular irons cause it just screws off and on quickly, but it's a different animal with a superstroke where I actually need an allen wrench and such.
I realize this is kind of a tough nut to crack for Blast, but it's also kind of large drawback for my setup, and even without the arccos I still need a bigger adapter. I'm going to see if I can't come up with something custom...

Edit: Went to the small adapter and this is quite snug on the actual arccos but I have no idea how bad this throws off metrics?
I think this is a very fair review. It kind of sums up where I'm at with it right now as well. I think there is alot of REALLY good data with this thing, but I just don't know how to really use it yet.
I will say @Raiderboost i think the key is to adjust the goals within the Tempo setting. So if you can determine your best ball striking for example happens at a 2:5-1, and you can figure out how fast that backswing and downswing need to be, then you can update your goals accordingly and practice for the repetition. Because I think your right in...tempo is a purely subjective thing. Some pros have to have a 3:1 vs. others at a 2:1. Heck Colin Morikawa might be darn near 4:1.
Hey WIll, rather than setting your phone directly on the ground, try using a tee to prop it up. While the range is dependent on the surrounding circumstances, this should help. Also, you are not alone with a slower stroke from longer distances. Tempo should remain the same from putts of all lengths. This is where elite putters shine...the stroke is longer and the club is moving faster, but the ratio between backstroke and downstroke should remain the same. Thanks, GregPutter Session #2:
I was able to get in a little more time with the putter yesterday. I did several practice sessions of 8-10 putts each where I was set myself up at a specific spot and hit each shot from there. That way I was able to focus on repeating smooth, consistent putts. As mentioned by other reviewers, tempo isn't going to be identical for everyone, so finding the tempo that works best for you and updating your range would allow you to work on consistency in your stroke. For me, I noticed yesterday that 2.1:1-2.2:1 provided the best results. I was set up about 6 feet for one session and 8 feet for another and I made more putts when I was around 2.1:1 or 2.2:1. Everything was just smoother. I was also able to improve a bit with keeping the face square at impact this go round.

Now, when I moved back to about 18 feet, I had the same problem as before. My backstroke takes a bit too much time and I have more trouble keeping the face square. I think this is where I need to focus on tempo and face angle. I already knew I struggled with longer putts, but now I have some data to analyze and see where I can improve. I think I'll start looking into the drills and see if they are able to help.
I do have one minor complaint and I think this also led to a minor issue yesterday. When I start a practice session, I set my phone down on the putting green at the distance that I want and putt from there. I can look down and see the result of the putt instantly. The only problem is, the sensor seems to have a very short range. Anything beyond about 6 feet and it disconnects. So when I walk over to pick up the balls, it disconnects and reconnects when I get back next to the phone. At one point yesterday it disconnected from my phone and did not reconnect when I walked back to it. I wasn't paying attention and hit several putts that felt really good, but it didn't log those. The sensor can also track putts offline and then you download those, but it looks like it just missed those putts completely. Not a huge issue, since I noticed pretty quickly, but at that point I had to completely close the app to get it to reconnect. Other than that, it's worked very well so far.
