E6 Connect

[Roy Roychoudhury]

My understanding from the merchandise show is that e6 golf has a completely new system called - e6 Connect which is a major upgrade and now has a cloud based monthly service - does anyone have any more details on this or a release date for this? Will current subscribers be able to upgrade for free then incur the monthly fee?

There was a message from skygolf seth saying he was testing out e6 connect. this was about 2 weeks ago. So guessing around winter time it will be avail for the skytrak

Time for my 8 week check in on this product lol. Anyone seen this actually being played by a human being yet?

Yup

I'm a dealer and I have it. It's hard to give it a grade yet. It still seems to be in beta. I'm guessing they are working frantically to get it close to complete before the PGA Show in January.

Pros:
- Great menu, HUD and stat screen
- User friendly like all E6 products have been
- Improved practice areas
- I like the yardages on the pin and ball
- New ball tracer is pretty cool.

Cons
- Yea it has an increased pixel count, but still just a minimal improvement in graphics.
- Bad gimme distance choices. I slider would be much better.
- Currently it has fewer options than E6 1.6.

I paid the $300 for the annual subscription. I wouldn’t say it is worthless, but it has serious flaws that make it impossible to use it in a teaching atmosphere. The yardages are juiced, really juiced. I’m a pga professional and I know my yardages to a tee. I hit my loft wedge 93-95 yards. I’m getting readings of 120 yards or more with e6 connect. I can’t justify teaching in e6 connect as long as the yardages are so far off. And I don’t even like practicing with e6 because It is likely to screw up my perception of m6 actual distances

No games on iPad. Only one game on pc

I still find it bizarre that you have to purchase an expensive license to use it then a annual subscription to get online play and additional courses. It seems SkyTrak and Mevo+ customers don’t have to pay for a license, just a subscription but other LM customers have to pay both. I find that odd.

i have an ernest sports es tour plus and all I had to pay for was an annual subscription. That being said, when I had a skytrak, I had subscriptions to both the golf club and Perfect Golf. Both were a much better value than e6 connect. Practicing with The Golf Club wasn't very seamless. Perfect Golf was great until *** got shut down.
