Great Video. I'm ordering the swing caddy 300 SCI. Thanks again for the info. 👊🏾👊🏾

One feature you overlooked on the Rhapsodo is the club recognition. Granted it works mainly for the irons, you just hold the club in front of it and it automatically detects what club you’re hitting.

A very happy owner of Swing Caddie sc300i, cannot believe you took hours to set it up, I’m not tech savvy but had it working within minutes. Also no mention of the video component which gives a 5 second film clip of your swing from any angle with minimal set up with an iPhone.

Thanks for a straight up comparison .has helped me a lot .

I've seen the PRGR Black up against a Flightscope and it was really good for distance. Also, it will measure swing speed without a ball which is pretty handy indoors.

Wow! I’m looking to upgrade from my G80 and you really nailed it with this comparison; thanks so much.

Your videos are always top notch. Love you channel.

I’m going to buy one soon and am currently comparing them. Your video was helpful to narrow down the choices. Thanks!

A fantastic video really informative and interesting and enjoyed the presentation immensely!

Nice honest and practical review. I have the Rapsodo as it came out before the Garmin R10. Would love to have the simulator function of the R10 to play local courses in the backyard or at the range. Anyway, YES, the Rapsodo is visually appealing with the data points and an analysis update they made a few months ago, BUT while I like that it utilizes my phone (the whole reason I bought it) I also hate that it utilizes my phone. Any amount of sunshine mixed with concrete surface at a range is iPhone overheat after about a dozen swings. I have better results with it recording swings into a net on my backyard porch where I can control direct sunlight. ALSO the Rapsodo battery life may be 8 hours, but your iPhone is going to die well before that. In the first few months I got the data I needed to give me an idea of my carry distances, but now I will only pull it out to spot check a club or two. My guess is it will work well during morning range session before work, but then my phone battery will be treading water the rest of the day unless I have my portal charger handy.

I nudged my son and said I wanted the R10 for Christmas. He looked at me and nodded. I'm getting socks again. I know it.

Love your reviews.

I have both the Mevo as well as the SC300i. Ease of use is hands down the SC300i. Accuracy is equal on good shots but the Mevo needs to be lined up very close to the target line while the SC300i has a much wider view of your hitting area. My son started his college golf experience this fall and I sent him off with the Mevo. While I was down visiting him he fell in love with the SC300i and now I have the Mevo again. Very good unit BUT I want my Swing Caddie back! 😇

Thank you, this was very useful! The G80 did pretty well considering it kind of has launch monitor as a bonus only but is really a GPS… Now, an interesting question is how would a combination G80 and TruSwing rate using the same criteria? I’ve got both, and R10 on order, but Garmin can’t seem to be able to deliver here in down under - ordered in mid Aug and still no confirmed delivery time, estimate only in December - so wondering is it worth the headache to wait and wait… Thoughts?

Hey hey, great video once again. Which one allows you to play some courses digitally while at the range? And will you do an updated video on this, I'm sure some of the new devices will compete better nowadays?

Just ordered my garmin r10! Can't wait to use it hehe

Very helpful, I have been looking at a couple the ones you rated. It was the Mevo or the R-10. Definitely going R-10 now. Was surprised the G-80 did so well. That looks like it would be great on the course.

Good video, I tried the Rapsodo and it absolutely awful. When my iPhone wasn’t overheating, or losing connection I found the app and user interface to be clunky and counterintuitive. Picked up the Garmin G80 and it has been great. I wasn’t sure about the numbers but I took it to PGA Superstore and it was pretty accurate (+/- 4-5 yards) when compared to what I was getting in their hitting bay which was pretty impressive and the best part is it’s also a full functioning GPS unit. Also you can play any of the preloaded courses on the unit which is an awesome feature! I played Pebble Beach the other day lol. You can also compete with others and there is a great target training option as well.

Thank you for sharing!

My 5 year old loves golf. I was going to get an optishot so he could play in the garage, but I was afraid I would destroy the machine with my aggressive swing. I saw the Garmin was coming out, so I decided to hold off until I saw some reviews on it. I have seen enough to know I want it because it has the simulator as well as everything else that I could use on the range. Looks pretty cool. I’m gonna have to order one soon, especially since it looks like it is so hard to get due to back order. That makes me think a lot of people like it too. Thanks for another great video.

Hi! Thanks for youre great videos! I think you must put the garmin G 80 on a ball to give it 45 degres angle. So it's suppose to be very precise. Greating!

The SC300i is a no-brainer for me. The remote is a really nice touch, very accurate, love the audible carry distance but also being able to glance at the data, and the practice mode is a great tool. I don’t like having to use my phone in conjunction with the device. Great video - thank you!

After seeing your great review I bought a Garmin r10 as fast as I could. It is a great product especially for the money. I also have a PRGR and that is great as well for around 200. The r10s only issue is the spin but overall it has no match because you get a good idea of shot shape into a net.

After the latest software update I tested indoors against a Trackman hitting into a net about 15 feet away and everything thing was really accurate including the spin. I couldn’t believe the improvement in spin accuracy. I did wonder was it also because indoors the net was further away than probably most people can have in a garage or in a backyard.

David, thank you so much my friend!

A few points... G80 should be put on a golf ball to watch your shots from an angle, it has a special dimple at back. As an R10 user, I must say that it is NOT that friendly. Sometimes it is not obvious it is "on" when you start it, sometimes it disconnects from the app when you smbd calls you and it goes into standby, and waking it up needs restarting the app (stop/start a session and so on). Also, an app is terribly programmed, it needs REALLY powerful phone to work properly. Like top models. And still, it sometimes stalls. But is the closest to a simulator you can get for this money. IF you can get it. If you will see this in a shop, get it, you can easily make some money by selling it on a ebay ;-) Shops in my location say that it won't be available till next year...

Have your heard of the manufacturing problems with the Garmin G80? I am going to have to select the Swing Caddie SC300i. Thank you

Godspeed! It can be a baffling decision. Hopefully this sheds a bit of light on what's important for you.

Which launch monitor is best for indoor practice?

Mevo (and probably many others as well) sell an additional external battery you can "backpack" on the unit to extend the usage times.

i would love to get R10 in US but can't find a retailer that has. Garmin says 4-5 weeks. does Playbetter have it in stock?

Had a Rapsodo MLM and it was a mess. Wouldn't read shots and it killed battery on your phone. When it worked it was very accurate though. I was able to sell it and got a Garmin R10. It is much better. Shot shape can be off at times but distances seem good and all the other features work well too. For whatever reason it doesn't pick up my PW though. It keeps recording it as 30 yards short. It just doesn't like that one club. I only use it at the range. I know some people say it isn't that great indoors into a net.

The only thing is that the Garmin R10 seems to be made of unobtainium. Have had one on back order for about nine months. Does anybody know where I might find one?

That's a shame. I was really ready to pull the trigger on the Rapsodo . But I have an Android. They have to change that. Great video keep them coming

Have you tried Yupiteru GST-7? It’s less than $150 but can track club speed, ball speed and carry distance.

I own a couple of these...i would say i bought the g80 as a gps (and it's brilliant at that)- you can input all the scores for 4 players (most gps do 1or2 players) the use of it against the others as a launch monitor is a little unfair as that's not its primary function....to me the launch monitor use of it is mostly for fun rather than accurate club data...for me the garmin r10 is garmins launch monitor so i would recommend r10 of these launch monitors and g80 as a great gps with some fun features to take the range.

Outdoor net where I can find shade for the Rapsodo helps the device work better than when the device and iPhone gets fried on the range when the sun is beating down. Now if you hit balls at sunrise and sunset no overheat issues I guess.

Lots of good points made - thanks for the review. You dinged the SC300i a little for portability’s due to size, but when considering the case, it fits in a bag more easily than the R10, which is uber-thick. You also don’t need a phone or any other device - just turn it on, place it on the ground and start hitting. Hard to beat that for portability. I’d still prefer the R10, though. Now, if I could only find one…

I had an SC300 and found it terrible for accuracy. It consistently gave me an exaggerated carry distance. Not only do I know my carry distances pretty well (I’m a scratch handicap) but I compared this device to a Trackman and again, carry distance was WAY off with the SC300. I presently have a Mevo which I found to be much more accurate. I have never tried the R10. I might have to try one. Thanks for the thorough review.

Could you please update the software on your Garmin G80 and update your loser review? Many changes including club tracking. I’ve read about the software update but haven’t seen a review yet! Thanks

Great summary. Thanks. The one flaw in your analysis is not weighting the features measured. For example accuracy should have a higher weighting than ease of setting up (within reason). Would be interesting to see how the rankings changed with some level of weighting for each feature measured by level of importance.

@carlr2837

Жыл бұрын

There is no one "right" way to weight the features, and each person should consider how they plan to use it, and determine the weights that apply to them. For example, I'll be using a launch monitor on the range only, meaning I will have to set it up each time, and also that I will be hitting range balls, which means that and accurate distance still won't tell me much, whereas portability, battery life, and ease of setup will be very important. For someone who plans to use it indoors, with good balls, ease of setup and portability are not important at all, while accuracy will matter more.

I originally purchased the g80 but I returned to buy the Garmin Aproach S62 watch which I love. My next purchase will be the Garmin R10 when it becomes available. Ugh!
