I imagine you are going to have some fun with this. Even more so when you are able to start coaching your team up.

I think there is enough here to make practice more pointed and enjoyable.
I’m surprised my backstroke tempo is slower than I realized. And irked.I imagine you are going to have some fun with this. Even more so when you are able to start coaching your team up.

the light on the charger pad will change when its fully charged.The ui on Android at least is not very intuitive so far. Was trying to sign up and things were spinning, couldn't tell if sensor was connected or it linked to a club? By deduction I think the sensor might not have been charged enough, but that certainly wasn't clear. Will charge for a bit and give it another go.
dang. this is a shame. i have an iphone. so can't off any advice there.Round 2 a **** show as well.
Sensor shows 100% charged, but flips to 0% when I try to do something on the app. Several disconnect/reconnect cycles. Says there are swings on it to upload, but I can't upload or delete them, and can't reset the sensor.
Hmm, will try again tomorrow.
No luck, just doesn't work. Acts like there's corrupted data on sensor. Will get some customer service review in right off the bat.Round 2 a **** show as well.

Good write up here. I'm hoping mine comes in today so that I can set it up and try it out this weekend. I'm not very fond of practicing putting or the short game all that much so I'm hoping something like this will make it more enjoyable to be able to see the data and what I need to work on. For full shots I think the attack angle should help out quite a bit as I tend to be very steep. Hoping this will help a lot with the driver where I tend to hover from a negative attack angle to 0 instead of hitting up on the ball.Setup: Setup was insanely easy. Create an account, charge the sensor and follow the onscreen directions. I had a firmware upgrade that took all of 2 minutes to install. I love the "wireless charging dock" that comes with the sensor.
The App: Overall it seems really solid, in fact it's got so much, it's a little overwhelming at first. The first thing that happens is you are taken to a Dashboard which has it defaulted to a putting section. I immediately switched the drop down on the top to Full Swing. I definitely want to use this for putting, but I wanted to see what full swing is all about first. It takes you to a dashboard that has a getting started section with 3 short videos to explain the basics, hand speed, attack angle and how swing tempo effect your distance control. From there you can explore more videos, go to the "Training Center" or "Just Swing".
Full Swing – First off, it measures the following: Swing Speed, Peak Hand Speed, Swing Tempo (ratio of downswing vs. backswing), Backswing Time, Downswing Time, Attack Angle, Total Swing Time.
There are essentially 3 modes or ways to evaluate your Full Swing performance. You switch the modes by adjusting the "Metric Layouts" section within your practice session, or what they like to call "Just Swing"
Initial Thoughts: Lots more to come on this, because I haven’t even looked at putting or short game yet where I think this will really get good in regards to tempo. Overall I’m really impressed with the amount of data and ease of use this little gadget has brought on though. I have found the sensor to be accurate. Does it miss some swings? Yes, it misses probably one out of ten, but nothing ridiculously annoying. I’ve had no sync issues whatsoever and connection seems to be great. LOADS of data here, but overall I’m still trying to process it all. I question it’s want and desire for tempo for example. I always thought tempo was more particular to a player and I’m not really sure why it has to fall in those ratios? For example I can’t imagine the pros don’t have wildly different tempos?
- Tempo Training - It puts all the emphasis on your backswing time to downswing time. It wants you to be around 2.5:1 to 3.1:1. Meaning if you take .65 to .85 seconds in your backswing, your downswing time should be around .23 to .32 seconds. If you hit the ratio you get a “ding” and green. You still get Swing Speed, Peak Hand Speed, Attack Angle and Total Swing time displayed within this “Metric Choice”

- Speed Training – The focus here in order to get your celebratory *ding* is all peak hand speed, and as an 18 handicap I can’t get this mf’r green. I don’t get how do produce this correctly. I’m always late or slightly late, which from all my research will result in a slice or push slice. NOT SHOCKING, because that is my miss; however, I’ve been very unsuccessful in being able to figure this out and I think this might be where my biggest gains could be had. I just can’t seem to find a video that allows me to understand or grasp this fully. Again all other metrics mentioned above will be displayed within this training module still.

- Attack Angle – Pretty self-explanatory, I will say one thing throws me off with this though. I consistently get “Down” and the celebratory ding here, but very rarely do I seem to get a green alongside my “Down”, so it indicates to me that my attack angle is not steep enough, but I haven’t been able to find an actual measurement. It just says DOWN, so I’m not entirely sure if I’m too steep or too shallow?

I haven't even tapped into the drills and such yet, so I just have so much more to do in this app.
Nitpicking. I don’t love having to take the sensor in and out of the mount to charge it. It’s minor, but it’s not super easy to get in and out of that plastic mount and so there is a little bit of a setup time there. The mount isn’t ultra-snug so it does rotate and has to be adjusted from time to time. I find the videos that explain the various stats to be a little lackluster. They are very short videos and I just didn't get enough out of them to understand some of the states. For example I don't understand peak hand speed still. It sounds like my peak hand speed is late, which I would think means it's after contact? But that's where I need more understanding for example.
Very nice initial thoughts. I’ve owned one for a year now. Originally wasn’t impressed. There is a lot more info available from it now than then. I’m just now getting back to using it. Hoping that you alls review will give me the incentive to dig in a use it properly.Setup: Setup was insanely easy. Create an account, charge the sensor and follow the onscreen directions.
