No one is saying that it is measuring the distance, the distance is based off of the SS and Ball Speed ratings (which are read via the doppler), combine that with the fact that the club selections are length based (of club) and a baseline of lofts for the clubs. It has never been claimed that the distances are not an from an equation, they are, there are slight discrepancies at times as I discussed in the review but it is extremely minor and impressive for the price of the unit. This is not a full launch monitor, its not 3k+, for what it is the job it does is nothing short of impressive. There will always be some slight issues here and there with tech, thats the nature of technology, particularly new tech.
You know. That might explain some of the wacky readings I've seen. I'm not switching it up when I move clubs. I've just been selecting the 7 iron and kind of leaving it because I don't really care about the stats.
I've been smoking drivers and FWs (for me) where I watch the ball land on or beyond the 200 yard green. I'll look down and see the thing read 170. It's probably because it is measuring the ball speed and applying the 7 iron flight pattern.
Thanks. I'm going to mess around with it next time and see if that makes a difference. This could all be pilot error.
Use the remote dude, makes it easy peasy. I clip it to my belt loop, quick and painless.
I set it up directly behind the ball, but I do believe there is wiggle room of a few inches. It's not something I really paid any attention to the other night.I should be getting this today, does the machine have to be set up directly behind the ball or can it be a few inches in either direction? I tend to move my ball alot to get a good lie.
I commonly end up having mine a handful of inches off to one direction or another.I should be getting this today, does the machine have to be set up directly behind the ball or can it be a few inches in either direction? I tend to move my ball alot to get a good lie.
It is cool. Last night in game mode it was just different thinking about particular numbers for partial shots. A sequence in game mode might be something like 43, 55, 51, 60, 67, 85, 62, 95, 40, 78. I had my Pelz chart out and this forced me to adjust to just more / less than designated swings to get the number. In contrast, my favorite range has pins at like 55, 77 and 105 and my usual practice involves hitting a bit long or short and estimating what that means in terms of distance. In addition to reinforcing the stroke through practice I am hopeful this also improves mental game when it comes to scoring by getting used to thinking about flying the ball a specific number.Working on some partial wedge shots today at lunch, randomly started thinking about how cool a tool like this would be for all the range time Im putting in.

I think it would really help you in this area. I was seeing that very thing with my alleged 9:00 PW swing. It should be @113 but I was only getting like 95...had to adjust to actually get to the 9:00 position and finish high then starting seeing consistent results in the 112-116 range.That's awesome and fun. Right now I'm struggling with partial swings. I think I'm going back half way but really it's 3/4 and so on and lots of deceleration. Seeing the numbers and some video of my swing at the same time could help
No plug in. I've had it to the range for two large buckets, and the battery meter has not changed from full.OK, I'm full on ponder mode of this thing now because of the great sale at RBG. What are you guys seeing for battery life? I'm assuming some rechargables will be needed to avoid spending an extra $200 on batteries? It doesn't have a plug in for indoor use, right?

I think a few guys may be pulling the trigger on this after a little fun on the range this morning.
THP is is just too darn good at what it does best, enlightening me on yet another something "I SIMPLY MUST HAVE". Accepted gadgets4golf's 3rd counter-offer last night, $219.
