Full Swing Kit - New Launch Monitor

I wonder how many of those are calculated vs. measured.

One thing that does have me curious is how they will measure spin. If we look back, TM has a patent that allows them to measure spin using radar that Flightscope if I recall correctly was also using and lost a battle in court about whether or not it was violating TM’s patent. Given this Flightscope had to go out and develop its own method for measuring spin, which I believe it did pretty successfully. I just wonder how many other ways there could be to allow for radar to measure spin? I think this one will be interesting to learn about as well.

Here’s the info I got from the UK rep

How much space do I need for the launch monitor to the hitting mat then from hitting mat to the net/wall?
How much total space do I need indoors/outdoors?
We are still in final stages of verifying the optimal space required for best short-range pickup both indoors and outdoors.
Currently, we are targeting the launch monitor to sit 7-9 feet behind the golfer, this is still being optimized for both data and video quality.

Will there be a free range software for club averages, combines etc.?
We will have free services on our dedicated app that will be standard with purchase, additionally there will be tiered premium services and features.
At this time, we are still in final development on pricing and feature set that will be offered.

Does this include club AND ball metrics? Do I need a secondary device for club data?
What club and ball metrics will I get post-shot?
With the Full Swing Kit, you will be able to get 15 points of data feedback after each shot, as well as swing 1080p HD Video Capture.

3. Side Carry

You don't have to worry about that. I love ships. I love white ships, black ships, blue ships, yellow ships. Large ships, small ships. I love all ships. Except partnerships.

Plus I'm an attorney with my own firm, couldn't happen unless you were a licensed attorney in my state. And if so, see above.

They sold out their initial without even a product. Why hype it up now because they won't have more units for how long? Then we'll hear the same forum complaints about a product that was promised but they can't deliver any units etc. Just like Mevo+ last year and they're doing just fine.

A $4k product that does all they promise, will sell like hotcakes.

Sorry I meant of some of their other higher end products, not this kit.

Do you have a link to any youtube videos? I can’t find any

[Dax]

There are now YouTube videos as well?

I don't have any experience with Full Swing except for this thread and this one where a user spent $90,000 and was very disappointed, particularly on the software side. No system is perfect, but the importance of software updates and compatibility is really important for Sim play and user experience. Even at the risk of not getting one for months because of no preorder, I'm not going to put money until they've shown they can deliver.... but I really really hope they can.

I had a pre-order, I cancelled said preorder because of that thread. Definitely do not trust that they will deliver at all. Also quite a few YouTube videos showing how disgruntled people are with their higher end monitors.

After diving fully in to the market and learning about all the options, I agree with the comments that a $4000 device with both club and ball data, with camera and radar, without stickers could be massively disruptive. Would really make a SkyTrak user consider the options. Frankly if it works, I would jump.

I’m brand new around here. I found this forum because of this thread, and I’ve read every reply.

Can I just say that this thread is amazing. It is great watching a guess from a member here turn into insider info, which then leads to rage as the company doesn’t live up to deadlines and features that it never made itself.

It’s like the old telephone game, where the message gets more and more distorted the longer you go.

Anyways, I’m still torn on this kit. I love the idea of a lm that works indoors and outdoors, with no dots required, is as accurate as TM, and costs a quarter of the price. I’m also having a real hard time believing it can deliver all of that.
