Full Swing Kit - New Launch Monitor

[Joegolfguy]

This email was not what I was hoping for. The 10ft to the screen and 10ft behind pretty much knocks me out of using this in my simulator. My room is only 18ft wall to wall. I will wait a little longer to see if anything changes in setup distances and if not I guess I will get my deposit back. I was hoping for 8ft to the screen and 7-9ft to the unit. It looks like I will stay with my SkyTrak which is not a bad option. It has worked great for my sim room so far. I was just hoping for something a little better at a similar price range to what this Full Swing Kit will be.

10 ft ball to screen and 10 ft ball to unit is going to be tough for the majority of indoor setups. Would require a room 21' deep (need at least a foot of clearance behind screen). Not surprised by the ball to screen requirement, but the ball to unit requirement is 3' longer than other indoor radar monitors.

Unhappy that the distances keep climbing for indoor. Also don't love that they are not confirming the parameters they measure. To me its still too vague to be ready to pay the full price. We need more details on actual set up specs, measurements, and most importantly what the recurring costs will be and what will be received for those costs.

Email from FullSwing just came in... no doubt most on here will have had the same. Some FAQs below, plus a link to a preview video

Interesting email this morning from Full Swing Kit.

Some key questions addressed:

1) Outdoor placement - 9-10ft: for best readings and video recording
2) Indoor - 10ft behind, and minimum 10ft in front to ensure accurate recording....
3) Gameplay Software iOS tablet for gameplay using e6 Connect - more details coming on subscriptions and packages
4) Final shipping date - planning for end of June

Kind of disappointing that the distance is getting longer and longer, but I guess if the data is accurate, so be it. Will be slightly difficult to get 10ft of space in a driving range without using the walkway in the back of the mats/stalls.

I only found out about this LM 5 days ago, but did put down a $100 deposit and got an confirmation email right away. Planning to keep my deposit and see how it goes.

Here's the details for those that didn't get the email.

I'm interested but I'll wait and see what they hide behind that subscription pay wall before I consider the unit.

Edit: lousy phone keyboard

With this product release, do you think Mevo+ will "unlock" club path data in order to compete? Or at least offer it at an upgraded price?

[Aj282]

Comparing between the Mevo+ and Fullswing's Kit as far as technology goes there really isn't much difference. The Kit seems to be an upgraded version of the Mevo+ (better camera, on unit display) but nothing game changing. They both operate utilizing continuous wave 24 GHz radar frequencies for most ball and club measurements. Fullswing's advantage is its ability to measure the golf ball the entire flight vs 40-50 yards because they also utilize frequency modulated continuous wave radar transmission which will improve down range measurements like carry and offline. I would expect both unit's indoor accuracy to be about the same though. Listening to the Zoom call Ryan admitted spin axis to be the hardest to get right and he didn't seem to confidant that they had it nailed down yet.

The difference is what Fullswing will allow users to see (club path, face angle, face to path). The Mevo+ has the technology to measure these and additional club data and I'm pretty sure it does with every swing but Flightscope has it hidden for obvious reasons.

Cbstephenson13 thanks for the update! This sounds promising, I'm hopeful that this unit can replace my Mevo+.

How do people in this thread feel about the potential tech in this unit/ ball & club measurements v. Mevo+? I still feel like my Mevo+ wins the software comparison with the freedom to utilize tgc2019. Thoughts?

TGC will be compatible with Kit but not at first. They are expecting to be open to all 3rd party softwares within the first year of launch

Thank you very much for the writeup. I'm glad to hear that FSG is still bringing this product to market, and I'm very curious about how it will perform indoors.

How far from unit to ball? You mentioned distance from unit to screen, what is the desirable breakdown?

7’ minimum from ball to unit which means a minimum of 8’ of flight

Great write up. Any mention of the hd swing cameras and how that’s going to work?

He said camera is 4K, needs about 8 feet to see all of golfer. Nothing more than that
