Received the SC300i as ordered and found it very easy to both set up and use. Fairly new still but in the 1000 or so shots registered it has only missed (or failied to register) one or two shots. Fantastic at comparing clubs such as different drivers as the info seems to be pretty spot on. When you hit the ball well it provides the positive feedback and alternatively the fat/thin shots provide less than desirable results/data. love that you can instantly work on things like club head speed, carry distance and launch angle just to name a few. Now i just have to be disciplined enough to focus more time on the range as opposed to playing all the time and surely it will assist in improving my game significantly.

Overall this is a pretty solid portable launch monitor. Set up and use could not be easier. Just power it up and position it behind your hitting area and you are good to go. I took this to PGA Superstore and put it up against their super expensive launch monitor in the hitting bay and the yardages were always within 1-5 yards. The only big discrepancies I saw sometimes were on the apex and spin numbers but if that’s not a concern then you’ll get a good idea of carry distances. This has been particularly good for helping me dial in those awkward 40-100 yard wedge distances. I’ve now got those pretty well dialed in and has helped my scoring quite a bit. App is cool and easy to use as well. A lot of features too that I haven’t even gotten to. It won’t do simulation or give you directional info (left, right, slice, fade). For that you may need to consider the Garmin R10 but setting up that unit takes quite a bit more. I did get this as a Black Friday special so it was $349 instead of standard $499 price. I don’t think it’s quite worth that amount and the main reason I purchased it was because of the deal.

I’ve used the SC300i for nearly a year now and would purchase it again for sure! It really makes practice more fun and interesting too improve. I use it on the range and also at home to hit 20-50 yards pitch shots and it has really helped me dial in my short game yardages. It may not be as accurate as those $2000 or more units but based on verifying distances of my targets with my range finder I find it to be pretty doggone accurate for me whether I’m hitting short pitch shots or a driver. I’ve hit on Trackmans before and my swing speeds with all clubs is within 2-3 mph of the Trackman speed so again pretty accurate for someone like me….driver 100 mph and 7 handicap. Gives me all the data I want, is easy to set up? I really like the app it can connect to and the voice read out of yardages is nice. Battery life is amazing too. For the money it is a great value and I can’t really come up with any negatives from my own use that would be relevant…..it’s great!
