Voice Caddie has made a commitment to personal launch monitors and the new SC300i brings a lot to the table on paper. Improvements across the board, while still hitting a price point that is palatable was the goal and the company might have nailed it.
The Voice Caddie SC300i is said to deliver much improved accuracy and consistency over the previous model, along with increasing battery life by 66%. Using high-performance Doppler radar technology, and calibrating atmospheric pressure sensors, the SC300i tracks essential data points such as carry/total distance, ball speed, swing speed, launch angle, apex, smash factor, and spin (spin is displayed in the MySwingCaddie app only).
While the MySwingCaddie app will provide users with the most complete experience, the launch monitor is not dependent on using it. The SC300i unit itself features a large orange and black LCD display as well as voice output for distance.
By using a tablet or smartphone, connection is done via bluetooth and works with the new MySwingCaddie app to track and even offers the ability to save the data. You can record swings via video and even use graphics to overlay over the swing during evaluation of practice session. SC300i works with both iOS and Android devices.
Could this be the device that changes the game for personal launch monitors? We should have our hands on one pretty soon and testing it out in the THP Tech Studio. Lofty aspirations, but the company seems committed and in our conversations we think they might have something here.

Been waiting on this, curious on how accurate the distance part of the unit is.

Been looking forward to hearing this one. See if it’s worth the upgrade from the SC200
Looking forward to seeing your review, I’ve been really curious about this device ever since it was announced. Love that you’re going to be able to compare it to a Foresight!
In the meantime, please let me know if you have any specific questions.
The included remote makes it easy to switch clubs in the fly, and the optional voice prompt can call out distances, which can be handy.
IS this review in another post ?
The review never materialized.
Darn shame. Really interested in this unit. Maybe they will get around to it.
Big TAKEAWAY – Carry distance was about 5% off. Could be because of used balls.
Any side spin will not be seen or factored so if you hit a 30 yd slice totalling 200 yds, it might tell you it carried 220yds.
The big advantage of the sc300i vs sc200 is the stored data in the app, launch angle and apex height. You start to learn what’s your optimal range. The battery life is surprisingly long. Don’t fret over rechargeable battery.
I’ve used a friend of mines SC300i extensively, is there anything specifically you want to know?
Just wondering about the yardage accuracy for the long clubs. I’ve read a few reviews and the SC300i seems to be decent and close to the other expensive units.
For the money, it is very good unit. It’s not as accurate as say GC Quad and GC3.
I think that the Ball Speed, Launch Angle, and Spin data to be pretty spot on, the distance is close, but it will over value left misses.
Well that’s not bad considering those $4000 and $15k units.
The Bushnell Launch Pro is in a higher class too of course.
I think that it’s in the same tier as the Rapsodo, and then I think it is a case of personal preference.
I wonder how this unit compares to the Garmin A10. My use would be at the range. I just don’t have the room for indoors.
This… it takes course work to determine if the distance reading is spot on .
I think it’s cooler than the Garmin.
