I think we're all going to be waiting a while.Heavy sigh... so I guess I'll be waiting until they're a lot more accurate... and cheaper.

I am really surprised that so many have issues with the SC300 like your 7i issue. It should be doing better than that as that is way too far off. A few yards would be ok, but not 20 or more.I like my sc300 but don't love it at it's price point...too finicky with placement to get close to accurate distances for me. says my 7i only carries 130 when I play my 7i for anything between 150-160 (off the ground) and it reaches. I've moved it back/forward with not much change...it may not be completely level but I don't have the luxury of bringing a hoe to the range and moving dirt/grass around to build an ideal placement...and I don't care to bring it around the course while I am playing...that being said, it's fun to play with but that's about it to me...
Could elevation play a role in the inaccuracies people are experiencing?
we all remember Herm Edwards hitting 300 yd bombs on Driver vs Driver out in Colorado with his 88 mph swing.
Who knows. Having tried it at Sea Level and at higher than sea level, I think its manufactured poorly, distributed poorly, followed up with poorly when speaking of the SC300.
When speaking of the MEVO, I believe its unit to unit but we have tested a handful and every one of them was off at a minimum of 4 out of 10 swings.
I view these two devices as decent amounts of money and the only reason they are on the market is because this type of performance is accepted and it shouldn't be.
true.I may have missed it but is the little Garmin Unit (G80 I think it’s called)any better ?
Reviews I saw on YouTube seemed to be within a couple yards of high end LM’s. I think it sells for around $450 now

I want to add that even Garmin doesn't think its accurate.
They say the club head speed is +or- 5 mph and the same with carry distance.
Im sure some will find that useful as a toy, but if its for anybody that is serious about any sort of club fitting, gapping, etc its severely flawed.
I figured the +- 5yds was more less a generic disclaimer. like the old play at your own risk sign at the local park.
I mean if you compared a CGQuad to a Trackman wouldn’t there be up to 5 yds difference per shot?
I know I’ve hit my driver at a store using GC2 and it was showing spin rates 1900-2300. Right before that I rented time on an indoor Trackman at a place next door and I didn’t hit one drive Under 3k spin.
one of the high end units had to obviously be reading inaccurately.
so far im impressedI was looking at the G80 but the above comments has me a bit concerned. The Mevo is all over the place. The ES14 looks decent. And the PRGR looks Promising. Is there a clear winner here in this market?
Did some reading on the SC300 and a lot of chatter that it is very sensitive to being level. Meaning if you are hitting even on slight upslopes or downslopes, or if the stand leg isn't all the way out, it will affect the readings. No specific examples of course.
Just checked Ernest Sports and found a new budget model that solves my current concern with the ES14 of being in front of you and distracting your eye line. Also makes the ES14 $55 cheaper.

$550. pushing the upper end of the value prop for me, but i’d love to try it and compare to something else.
