Just want to say a big thank you. I have purchased a net, garmin and managed to set it up in my garage with results that a high handicapper can be happy with. But the biggest thing is my teenage son and 7 year old daughter can go back to practicing every day (there local course and many others in the area were destroyed in a cyclone in February). The smiles are back on there face and the trash talk is flying again. So good! This is mainly due from watching your videos for the last couple of months. Thanks mate

What about club path and face angle? Pretty important information for improving the swing. Without it you are guessing what went wrong. Still the Garmin for my money.
@davidmaxfieldgolf Жыл бұрын
That data is important but often that can confuse people too without a coach to tell you exactly what you’re doing. For example you can have a good club path and bad body movement so as much as I love that feature, to me the ball is the best coach and I definitely focus more on ball speed

Great comparison. Just one suggestion total dispersion numbers over a number of shoots is really were the comparison that I would be interested. Two different units using two different technologies. Outliers in numbers are going to be present. Without comparing the datasets in representative sample of each unit are you gong to be able to identify a true outlier versus datasets and units collecting the shot differently

I personally can live with my irons going 5-10 yrds. shorter for $1800+ CDN but that's just me.

My local range has installed Trackman units in every bay so out of curiosity I took my Garmin R10 along to compare the numbers. I'm very pleased to say that the ball speed on the Garmin was accurate to within 1mph on almost every shot with different clubs throughout the bag. But the Awesome Golf app was a bit more generous on the carry distances generally giving approximately 10m more carry despite the ball speed being nearly identical. So maybe Awesome Golf is a little generous on carry distance. This was using pretty crappy range balls so all the distances were short compared to a premium ball. The Trackman has a setting where it converts the numbers to those you would expect to see from a premium ball which was giving much better numbers for me, especially with driver. I found I could emulate this simulation with the Garmin using Awesome Golf by setting the launch monitor altitude to 2,000m. It was then giving me numbers with the range balls much closer to what I would expect from a premium ball and pretty similar to the Trackman 'premium' conversion numbers. Whichever way you look at it, fir the price the Garmin performed very well against the much more expensive Trackman unit. So despite it's known shortcomings in terms of side spin axis and shot shaping I'm still very happy with it.

So David firstly great videos keep them coming. I have the r10 and it’s ok but I’m not comfortable in the ball flight. On course I very rarely fade but I always do with r10. I am using a net and am outside. Would rct balls correct the flight? Also I have the budget for skytrak and am looking to move indoors. With this in mind would you recommend skytrak over Garmin?
@mr.celebre6533 Жыл бұрын
@@bank5ter I own both. If you can afford a Skytrak I 100 percent think you should upgrade. Garmin is a good little unit if thats what you can afford but you are losoing out on some accuracy. You are not losing accuracy on skytrak. you can trust the results. The ones that you can't trust are obvious like the one in the video that shot out 13 degrees right on Skytrak. I get 1 or 2 out of 100 that are wrong but obviously so.

Great video! Here’s my takeaway from watching the last few, do I have it right? 1. MLM2 Pro better spin axis / shot shape reading than Garmin? 2. Awesome golf is actually probably not better anymore for R10? 3. Garmin has the distances dialed in better than MLM2 Pro? So if you’re stuck on R10 Vs MLM2 Pro… difference in performance comes down to what you need more? Accurate spin axis or accurate yardages?

I think may be similar to why it doesn’t pick up some really low chip shots, club head moving slow ball stays same height roughly so the radar is blocked. Our body’s are out of the way yes, but if you start the ball left, when you rotate the ball may be blocked from radar after 4ft in the air and not be detected the full distance to screen Maybe why those pull fades look like double crosses and not a fade? It only detects the ball going left but not back to the right as well. Either way, it’s close enough for most
