Swing Caddie SC 200 vs Swing Caddie SC 300 - Which One is Better?

In this video I compare the Swing Caddie sc200 vs the Swing Caddie sc300. Which golf launch monitor is better determining swing speed, distance, and even pitching the golf ball? Both models are affordable portable golf launch monitors that offer doppler radar technology to determine your golf stats. Be sure to check out the discount links below for both products.

I'm glad you did this! I picked up an sc300 with your discount code a few weeks ago. Really makes me feel good knowing the wedges are accurate. That was my only concern. Love it love it!!!

[@jtnunley100]

Thanks for this video. Picked up an SC300 after watching your first video on it. I especially appreciate you using the laser range finder in this video and giving the actual distances to your target. It made it much easier to understand how accurate the SC300 is.

[@joeperez3520]

Nice review. I have the SC200 and really only use it for full shots, so I'll stick with that one. Of course, nothing is fool-proof. I thinned driver yesterday and it rolled about 150 yards, but the SC200 told me that I bombed it 326!!!

[@vivitoisright382]

Thank you Matt, I want to get the SC-200 but was holding back because of other reviews saying that it was good product but not too accurate in long irons and drivers. But you showed us it works well with longer clubs. Great video.

[@chairmanmeow8388]

It works well with all clubs so long as you get it out of the middle of the club.

[@adolfozayas3359]

You are truly the man!!! Love the comparison video. Definitely makes the decision to buy either device easier.

[@Duffs2Darts]

I have the SC200. I agree with what you say about the chipping. It’s been really useful for me when hitting indoors during the winter. Now I want the SC300. Would love to know my ball flight.

[@mige1334]

Great! Thank you so much! And now ... just to please me ... and maybe others. A comparison SC300 vs Flightscope Mevo ...!?

[@garyleahy4537]

Good review, especially concerning short chips and pitches. I've had the SC200 for about two years and I like it alot. I don't worry about chips and pitches because I can see the results up close but on anything further than 100 yards it is spot on. If you want to or can afford the 500+ for the 300, go for it but if you're on a budget, the 200 is great for most people. You can tune in the loft of each club as well to personalize your specific set to your liking. You must set it up correctly and have it on the same level on the ground as the ball you're hitting or it won't read properly. Otherwise, it's a great product for dialing in distances and specific club uses.

[@samphotoyt]

Great review. I just bought the SC300 from Amazon so I paid too much but I really debated which of these to get for a while. I bring my ipad to the range and set it up so I can see it and put headphones in so I'm not bothering the other golfers and it works great.

[@richardjackson9725]

The first honest review of the sc200. I bought one last season to work on my pitch distances and put it on eBay within a week as the yardage was way off on 3/4 shots.

[@dzetwo1]

Thanks for the video. I decided to go with the 300 and can’t wait to use it

[@AlldrinksonmegasonE]

Great review. At 9:28 was what I was really looking for. Thank for taking the time out of your day to do this review. I'm sold.

[@ThereIsProbablyNoGod]

IO received mine today and tried it in my garden hitting into the net. Unfortunately it does not work very well. I had to mess around with distance from the ball to the net and the SC300 to even get some shots detected. Most of the time, it does not detect the shots. When it detects a shot with my 7 iron, which I normally hit 130-140m carry, it gets an average of 60m. Ok, I did not make full swings, but should be way beyond 100m. Maybe I do something wrong. The manual says it should have a minimum distance to the net of 6.5 ft, what should be around 2m. I have a distance of 3-4m. Would prefere at 2-3m max, because of the risk missing the net. Any ideas? Sometimes it gives E1 on the display. Did not finde error codes somewhere in the manual or on the internet.

[@golfraven5669]

I pulled the trigger on the SC300. The selling point was the phone sync (we are in 2019 after all) and the APEX. I read that the SC300 is more accurate on short game (bigger sensor) - you proved it here. The battery was the last point - lets go green. The price on the SC300 is a shocker but I see the value over time. Top review, thanks!

[@alwaddle7390]

Thanks Matt for creating videos that we can actually use! Already bought the 300 late last year, works great. How about more on the course videos focusing on decision making on each shot, your mental game. Love when you explain "why you pull this club" instead of going for it! Shot saving techniques for the average golfer. Thanks, Al

[@FLYBOY123456789]

Good video Mr. SG...nice to see you out on the course. How about a review on powered golf caddies...bat caddy, cart tek, etc.

[@boy_peeps]

Bought the sc300 last week and I couldn’t be happier. There are times when it doesn’t read a shot but that would be maybe 2/10 shots. Not terrible but could’ve been me not lined up correctly. Overall I’m very pleased with this product. I hope some day they incorporate side spin and split the screen (phone or iPad app) to view the curvature of a shot. Wishful thinking perhaps. Thanks for the video

Your vids are so helpful man u and shiels are helping so many people

[@craigfitzgibbons9964]

Thanks for this. I had the sc200 and it kept locking up on me so I took it back and ordered the sc300. I hit into the net with the sc200 and chipping and pitching shot were horrible. On the coarse the 200 was dead on with most of my mid irons. to me its a tool for spaceing your clubs even if it cant be as accurate as a 20,000 dollar monitor.

[@davidbarnard1409]

Awesome golf channel. Thanks man.

[@smokinjaws3310]

I would love to see you update the SC300 review since the app improvements and addition of video. I would also like to see you verify the Driver distance. My unit has great iron accuracy, but seem to be off 20 yards on driver.

[@jw228w]

great video matt or anybody,does this device measure ball flight too, or just club head speed based on club selection? thanks john

[@kunmoon4154]

This review is quite helpful for me. Now I know what's the difference between them. Thank you.

[@Teerifficgolf]

Just noticed on the iPhone app it has an option for target. Could you do a quick review of that?

[@TheOgieone]

Fantastic comparison/review!

[@macsoutdoor]

Hi, thanks for the comparison video. Have you considered the effect of the twin Doppler radar emmiters set side by side? Could they be interfering with each other?

[@Somewheredownintexas]

[@myaccount9995]

Thank you for this comparison Matt. Have you personally or have any of your colleagues used/tried out a Skytrak by any chance? Just wondering if it would be a good purchase (next upgrade from these two being compared).

[@The_Fantasy_Arter]

Big question 2. When using backyard net, how many feet is the hitting mat from the impact net. I need to set up an outdoor range iny backuard. Thx

[@MrShortGame]

I'm about 15 feet away.

[@696duke]

I’m about 6 feet away in my garage and the sc200 works fine. I had a flightscope Mevo last year and sold it on eBay because of all kinds of connection issues and it was smart phone dependent. These swing caddies are huge bang for the buck!

[@blackstaticband]

Thanks for the review

[@robertturner9690]

Thanks man that really helped

[@gent11763]

Nice review...I use the SC100 ($160). It lacks voice and you have to toggle between ball speed and smash factor...it's a nice tool for the driving range or backyard. Not so much for my basement as it lacks lighting, but in the right practice conditions, it is a nice beginners tool.

[@geraldlapalme4510]

I have the SC300. Have you tried hitting shots in a netted environment ?? Where as there is netting all around. My practice facility has this and the SC300 has problems picking up 3 wood and driver hits correctly, gives low yardage. Does not give the corrrect distance. I did try my SC300 at a golf simulator and everything came out fine.

[@firejujuman]

Both use doppler radar to determine the club/distance. However, you put them side by side. They will interfere with each other. The doppler radar waves of one could be giving a false reading on the other one. Something to think about in this trial.

[@malvelusOne]

One of these two will be my next purchase(soon). Especially since I just got some new irons. Awesome video!!

[@wizardman02]

Thanks for this! swayed me to the sc300

[@blackstaticband]

How'd it turn out

[@andrewmartinez1574]

The discount code link for the sc300 isn’t working

[@justmythought1586]

I have the SC200. I mostly use it to check full swing distances, especially with new clubs. I go to an actual driving range for short game practice. One warning though. Don't use it at a range where you have a roof over you. If it sticks out too far, the device cannot pick up the ball. One drive I hit where I thought I really smashed it, the device said I hit only 86 yards. LOL

[@joec.743]

I Voted for you on KZbins best golfer hope it meant something !!!

[@alanjordan6198]

Hi loved the review. I have sc200 however 300 looks like I'll get a better experience. Have you tested the sc300 in the driving net? If so how did it perform?

[@allahalibaba9063]

Just caught your review...I have a SC200 an have not found it to be too accurate with wedges or long irons...The Earnest Sports ES 14 is much more accurate...Will have to try the SC300 to see some results...Thanks...

[@metalman0708]

The only thing I wish my SC300 had is a place to put notes for each days practice. RE: wind direction, weather, etc.

[@jplebeau853]

It also gives you spin rates on the App. This allows you to know if its slicing or fading too much. Spin rate will be a lot higher on a missed shot.

[@joejeans7913]

Mevo or sc 300? what would you buy ? if I could afford a trackman I would. or even a GC quad.

[@333pg333]

With the SC200, do you need the remote control to vary the loft angles? If not, how do you change on the unit itself?

[@davidbarnard1409]

The SC200 is great for shot under 170 yards --- so I would say use it on full shots over 60 yards or more.

[@samphotoyt]

I'm returning mine. Today I went to the driving range and it was all over the place. I was getting readings that were 10-20 yards shorter than I was actually hitting my gap wedge (as measured with a laser) for example. On some shots it would be spot on, on others (about 50%) it was so far off as to be laughable. The final straw for me was at the end of the practice session, when I was good and warmed up and hitting the ball well, I pured my gap wedge and it flew 120+ plus yards, which is right on where I would expect for this kind of hit, and I looked down and the SC300 was showing 94.6 yards. It did seem as if it was getting the club head speed about right, but I can get something for $180 that will do that. The point of this unit was to get all the other data and it is all over the map. I don't know, maybe I got a bad one but I set it up exactly as described in the manual, including customizing all the lofts and putting it on exactly the same height as the ball and the seemingly random results continued. After 3-4 sessions at two different driving ranges, I gave up and am sending it back. $550 is too much for something that can't judge the difference between a 120 yard shot and a 95 yard one consistently.

[@garyknight1678]

Gap Wedge 120+ ??? Wow...You must be the Man.

[@samphotoyt]

@@garyknight1678 Ha, first time I've had one so I don't know what is typical. It is a 50 deg mizuno jpx900 forged and those irons bought me a full club of distance vs. My old pings.

[@MrShortGame]

Yes it is Rustic Canyon

[@3puttsgolf97]

Solid comparison between the two. I think the 300 backs in to spin from the other parameters right? I have a Mevo on the way and it was a tough decision between that and the 300.

[@AlejandroBonillaBeeche]

They removed the spin...

[@3puttsgolf97]

@@AlejandroBonillaBeeche Oh really? from the 300? Kinda glad I went to the Mevo then. Spin is something I'm trying to get a hang of (on driver especially).

[@ZZ-qk8ji]

Do you have any idea when they will have the Android app available?

[@sterlinghein]

Thanks! Is it possible to turn the sound off on the SC300? Or connect to Bluetooth headphones? Thinking that other people on the range won’t love to hear it.

[@xstevex59]

I have the sc200, and yes you can turn the sound down or off.

If it's connected to the phone then the sound comes through the phone. You can also turn it off.

[@boy_peeps]

Curious to see an update on your time with it. I made the purchase 3 months ago and regret it. It’s just not accurate. Even though I hate looking at data on my cell phone in the sunlight, I think the Mevo is a better, overall product. S.C. customer service is terrible as well. No answers to my questions

Sc 300 vs mevo would be a great comparison since they are around the same price range and similar features. Otherwise great review, I am definitely looking into purchasing an affordable launch monitor for practice.

[@boy_peeps]

I chose the sc300 over the mevo as I didn’t like the idea of having to grab my phone after every shot. Too, on a sunny hot day, your phones battery will drain exceedingly faster. Something to think about

[@jnkhopper1]

@@boy_peeps thanks.

[@696duke]

I had the mevo when it came out and sold it after a year. It had all kinds of firmware issues, connectivity issues and you had to be very accurate in placement behind the ball as well as on the same level as the ball. The mevo was only more accurate because you could get spin ratio measurements by putting a silver sticker dot on the ball. I really disliked only being able to access the info with a smartphone I really like the convenience of my sc200 and it’s just as accurate within 1-3 yards and 2-3 mph

[@jnkhopper1]

@@696duke Thanks for the personal experience information.

[@djshalfmarathons9588]

The SC200 is great for SW to 5 iron. Also you can use it for dialing your wedges. Can't be used for chipping, pitching. Underclocks for driver..... I swing average around 108MPH, Measured on a GC quad. Swing Caddie has me around 103mph

[@NCTPerth]

Thanks mate video helped me appreciate it mate from downunder.

[@franciskang]

i think you should revisit a lot of these affordable launch monitors now that you can compare them to the trackman

[@ronaldstump6179]

For what it is worth, I own a SC 200. I had a warranty issue with my unit in the winter of 2020. Repeated emails and phone calls went unanswered. So if you want good customer support for your launch monitor, don't buy Swing Caddie.

[@rogeliomendez9135]

Rustic cayon? If it is, it looks so much greener than my last visit there

[@dougandh3]

I wonder how accurate this test is. Both units use doppler radar which sends out radio waves and measures the time it takes for the wave to bounce back and also the wave-length. As both units are sending out radio waves simultaneously, I would think that they may interfere with each other. Perhaps they use different frequencies so this is not a problem??

[@pnork]

You might be onto something there - they both use K band - 24 GHz. Also, as the units are side by side behind during the test, and therefore not directly behind the ball, I have to wonder if this affects accuracy of the test for both units.

[@UncleDanBand64]

Well now I know it works on bad shots, I might get one. Is there nothing about side spin? I mean you don't need it hear but, if you're hittin' in a net.

[@UncleDanBand64]

Ok I should've waited. No side spin.

[@timwong2436]

Hey Matt. I believe you get what you pay for. More accurately and more features.

[@chrisdixon2843]

Is it not just an expensive gapping tool? I’d love it if they added swing path and face angle to help groove a swing. Fair comment? Also, any chance of comparing to trackman or gc quad?

[@Randsurfer]

It's important to note that the sc200 and sc300 only measure club head speed and ball speed. ALL other information is calculated (estimated) from those two numbers. With Doppler it cannot track swing path and face angle. Apex height and launch angle will not be specific to each golfer, probably worthless since everyone presents their club to the ball differently. Of course, if you're hitting balls on a full range, you can just look at the ball flight and have a good idea about those stats.

[@rawkinlb73]

You can find a few comparisons to the gc quad and 300 on you tube(I jsut watched one)

[@chuckb8945]

Can the 35-45 yard hits be recalibrated?

[@696duke]

ChuckB no, but I’ve figured out that the reason it’s inaccurate is due to imperfect contact (I know right?!) so it’s pretty accurate with pitching/chipping the better the contact you make. The sc300 makes up for it because it measures spin ratio and launch angle to help its calculations.

[@joesmyth129]
