High launch and lower spin off the driver, still retains some spin around the greens. It also performs extremely consistent in the wind, which I like. It's like the TP5x, but I find it's better on the greens with more spin/check. Basically a lower spinning ProV1x.
Where'd you play?
Finally got out this past Sunday myself. I went 44, 43 at Waverly Oaks in Plymouth. I doubled 4 holes, including 2 of the par 5's which really killed me scoring wise, but also missed 5 birdie putts inside 15 feet. I almost drove the downhill, par 4 green (think it's #11 or 12), and blew the 50 footer for eagle by about 10 feet, but made the comebacker for birdie. Greens were sanded and very uneven, so not really concerned that I didn't make much of anything.
They’re giving the hardware away for free in hopes of banking on the more lucrative subscription business . Basically the same strategy Gillette and the like do with its razor handles so it can sell razor blades.
Are these any good? Are they just game tracking or do they offer good data for practice sessions.
They won't offer anything for a range session, if that's what you mean. They track which clubs were hit how far for each shot, but they calculate the distance by using an external GPS (phone or watch) to know how far you've gone between each shot. Unless you walk to your range ball and add another shot, it won't give you any information.
Yeah, I was thinking about swing path information during a range session. I’m the sort of person that will take any tech you can give me on the range, but when I get on the course, it’s the last thing I want to think about. But I would make an exception if they are worth it. I used the GolfShot app for a while, this looks like the natural progression of that.
This is pretty much exactly my situation, except it will be Friday morning at Crystal Lake in Burrillville. Look out for flying golf balls if you're in that general area.
What time? I’ll be dropping my kids off at the school break “camp” at the elementary school right across the street from the 3rd and 4th holes.
It's become my favorite over the last couple of years, taking over the crown from New England. The course is always in good to great shape and they get all of the stuff surrounding the round right. Always a good amount of beer carts and having the snack shack behind 17 that's also on the crossroads of 7 to 8 and 13 to 14 are just really good touches, and the clubhouse is always good after the round.
For anything that gives you actual club path or face to path info you're looking at a $6k-30k device (Launch Pro/GC3, GC Quad, Trackman, some Flightscope devices, etc.)
So it’s really about shot tracking on the course. Not something I feel I want, but if I’m getting the sensors free, yeah, why not
It was between the Ventus Black TR and Hzrdus Black Gen 4. Ultimately went with the Hzrdus because there wasn’t enough of a difference in performance to justify a $350 up-charge.
So finally hit my hybrid 4 on the course recently, and holy shit, where has this been all of my golfing life? If you don't have a hybrid in your bag yet (probably not many of us left), try one as soon as possible.
Perfect, thank you.
