I finally had some time to play around with some settings and experiment more with the VX last night and it made me think of a wish list as the software continues to be developed. A lot of these things have already been confirmed to be in development in some form so hopefully it's just a matter of time.
1. The big one for me is still the ability to have the range and summary tabs run on two screens. I like the VX range a lot. Especially since it's ready to go a whole lot faster than it takes me to get TGC opened, connect it, navigate to the range, etc. But beyond that, I like the layout, I like the apex and distance pop ups and just the general feel of the VX range. I discovered, or re-discovered since Protee had shown me this in a demo, that I could get the data boxes to show up on the same screen as the range. You click on the "Always on Top" option in the settings and the data will overlay at the bottom of the range screen.
This is a good 80% solution for me. I love having the impact video, but most of the time like last night I'm most interested in the swing path, speeds, and I just like watching the ball flight after taking a shot. If there's something funky at impact that I want to see I can always switch tabs and check it out. It's not bad until Protee can figure out the 2 tab and split screen option.
As a half measure, it would be cool if you could also have the impact video box as an option that could be always on top on the range also. If it could show up on the right side of the screen above the data boxes where nothing else is going on that would be pretty sweet.
2. While playing around in screens I also saw an option to change the range hardness and one of those options now says Green. There's even a stimpmeter slider in there as well. My thought was this would be really cool if it simulated hitting into a green rather than just showing normal fairway roll. It didn't turn out to work that way though. I'm assuming this mode is for putting practice as the total distance converted to feet rather than yards.
It's an interesting option for putting since you can dial in different green stimps and work on distances, but just not something I'm likely to use much. But if the whole range acted like a green and gave you a better feel for rollout after landing on a green that seems like it would be a nice feature. Maybe the Fairway Soft setting simulates that closely enough, but I haven't messed with that yet and have just been using Fairway Medium.
3. Finally, it's Shot Recording, dispersion data, bag mapping, etc. This is also been acknowledged as something they're working on and there is already a Shot Recording checkbox in the software, but that data isn't accessible for now. Hopefully this is one coming soon as it seems to be a pretty standard feature on other LMs I've used.
Still loving the VX and like I said, a lot of these things are supposedly in development. What concerned me was looking at the changelog none of them were really listed as coming features. Most of those were all centered around AI improvements. I'm sure that'll be great, but as I keep using the VX more I keep hoping we'll see at least #1 and #3 rolled out sooner rather than later.
