Your assistant looks so excited to be there

I just got mine in the mail yesterday. I can't wait to try it out!

Hey Matt, great video as always. BTW - All those features are available on the old SC300. You just need to update the ap and you are good to go. It does work even better outdoors. I've compared mine to the trackman several times. When outdoors it's pert-near spot on. ... All except, spin rate. As you mentioned spin rate is not great. It's calculated not actually measured and there are just so many variables that can affect spin rate.

Would love a comparison between this and the Flightscope Mevo!

Sweet! I just ordered mine! Thanks for the discount. Love your videos! Also putting a putting green in my basement ...wall to wall just like you sim room! 🏌️⛳👍

Great video, Matt. Would love you to do a Mevo Flightscope vs SC300i showdown.

Your reviews are always awesome! I'm an average golfer and I've been using the sc300 (indoors) for the last 6 months (over 9000 swings). All things considered; I'm very happy with the product. I believe they are selling the 300 and the 300i for the same price - which I can't understand. Also, I updated my swing caddie app which is allowing me to access the new video feature with the sc300. As you stated, the product does not show side spin data so I just focus on improving my smash factor; does that seem reasonable? Your doing a great job. Your videos are the most fun to watch for sure.

I love watching your videos, I can't wait for you to do one on the new Garmin Approach R10 golf simulator. I've read some good reviews.

Hi Matt, very interesting. I have an SC200 and one of the reasons, apart from general club distancing was the wedges and practice and TBH it was pants, both indoors and down the range, and would quite often, indeed, mostly, not register shots with my PW, GW or SW, the other clubs were fine. I did send it back to the retailer and contacted company via email, but didn't get any improvement, nor even a response. Good that you feel the new version is better, but I'd have trouble parting with more money when the level of support has been so poor.

Would love to see you review the Titlest RCT Pro V1 with the SC300i to see if the indoor radar tracking built into the ball improves accuracy. Great videos btw.

Angle of Attack would be a great and valuable feature for the newer version. I think there’s no reason in upgrading from the SC300.

Ok that’s the launch monitor I’ve been waiting for! Thanks for the direct comparison to Trackman for accuracy. I have the SC 300 but the upgrade looks like a much more complete and accurate device.

Exactly. Finally an accurate monitor without having to use the phone (Rapsodo). This device is very interesting

thanks for promo. question, any additional tips on height or level for set-up? device is missing some shots. been watching you for years, really like your new studio vs the old "backyard" net.

Just got my SC300i these things are amazing, I haven't actually fully gone through the video mode yet, but my question is does the video start recording automatically or do I have to press record then set up and swing. Great video btw

I've been using this for a few weeks. The good: only missed maybe 3-4 shots out of several hundred, good accuracy, easy to use and customize for clubs, when the app works, it is really useful, long battery life. The not-so-good: the app is buggy, especially if you need to delete shots from your data set or import shots from a previous session where the app wasn't on at the time, loss of "approach" mode over previous versions where it would randomly pick target yardages. Overall, it has helped me to dial in yardages with my irons but the bugginess of the app is really annoying right now.

Nice review Mr. Short Game....I have had a few Swing Caddies in the past and either gave or sold them to some one...Was not please with them missing shots nor given me correct data...Have had better luck with Earnest Sports produces, for Customer Service, data available and price...Plus their made in USA....Good that there is a lot to choose from now in a lower price range....Thanks Again for you reviews....

The Rapsodo MLM records the sideways movement in the shot. How about a review of that?

Hey Mr. Shortgame. So I ended up going with the SC300 over other launch monitors at the time and I still like it. Ran into one of your videos about a year ago when you were testing the Costco ball, you were using the SC300 as well. In that video you said not to pay attention to the spin rate. I’ve noticed that the spin rate was off with my testing as well. Any way of fixing it? Does it effect the smash factor too much? Thanks for the videos!

Can you do a video showing the SC300i in target mode? I don’t think this has been done yet and I’m curious how it performs at shorter distances.

These things are getting there slowly - the radar on the ball speed was spot on - and ball speed is king if you're working on speed. With how cheap cameras and memory are, I'm surprised there isn't a $1000 solution yet for a QC Quad type competitor - all you would need is a form factor exactly like the SC300i that you would place in a mini tripod grip and place it next to the ball looking down - it would be an amazing tool for range work as it would give you Path, Face to Path - and that would give you curvature etc - amazing teaching tools

@@maeu59 my point is that there is so much room to come in under the current $20k price for a QC Quad that it feels we are less than 12 months away from a $1k product - we are talking about $100 in memory and $100 in lenses, I can write the software in a day for an interpolating lookup table that a QC Quad would do to give theoretical distances and curvatures. I'm really surprised it hasn't been done - it has to be designed and in the pipeline

How did the launch angles compare? I didn’t see that on your Trackman screen.

A few British yt'ers have tested out the Decathlon house brand, but I think it would be really interesting if you were able to get your hands on a set of new Tommy Armour 845s from Dicks Sporting Goods! It would be a cool test to see how the American and European big box house brands compare to eachother, and against premium clubs!

Sc300i versus blast motion ......When do you use one and when do you use the other? Wouldn’t it be great if it could interface with the swing caddie… ie...blast motion if you could define where you use one and the other that would be great.

After tons of research, I purchased the Swing Caddy 300 last Spring, then returned it after 2 weeks. It was not ready for consumers yet, at least not this one. Unable to separate/track 2 players, unable to delete outliers, interface was terrible and would constantly crash. I will watch your 300i review now and see what u have to say about it. On a different note, I watched your video on the PRGR last year and just had my friend pick one up for himself. What a great and inexpensive golf tool. Laser rangefinder confirmed the accuracy. And being able to get swing speed data without a ball is fantastic, (no one else can do that). What a great speed training tool that PRGR is !!

Do you have any videos about coming in too steep. Everything I hit right now is too steep, causing low apex, launch angle, and a sweeping draw usually around 20+ yards of curve and a snap hook with a driver.

Do you think the spin rate readings would be more accurate if you were using this device out on a driving range?

Curious if this will work with the standard driving range balls.

Awesome video! What underarmor shoes are you rocking at 7:37?

Nice video review! Could I set this new launch monitor up in my basement in front of a screen and use it with a projector as an affordable 'simulator'? The Trackman you have is awesome, but I don't want to put $20K into a simulator. Is there a more affordable way to set this up for an average non-professional golfer?

Could you please let me know if sc300i will work with Almost Golf Ball? Thank you so much.

Just bought a mevo. May be selling and getting this boi

Hello Matt , would you please do a review of the SC300i hitting into a net? Outdoors would be great, but indoors into a net could work.

Love ya brother

What was launch angle compared to trackman? Did you use metallic dots on the balls?

Damn, wish it would say if it went left or right since I’m hitting into a net. Still may pick this up

Does anyone know what you can do if you play PING? PING have half lofts. I live in West Virginia and we do not have a single driving range that is flat so I can’t get a true distance on a hill side driving range. Any help would be grateful.

could you test this outside with your net PLEASE!

How do you feel about the Garmin G80 compared to the new model. ?

Rapsodo shows shot shape and dispersion. I do believe it's the only one that does in that under $1k category for a launch monitor.

have you reviewed optishot?

Hi Matt, I have the SC300 and although it has all updated to the new software, it still doesn't give spin on the wedges 😢 I'm loving the new video capture idea...though I've not managed to test that out yet, although I 'think' that I have it set up correctly? Just need to get a tripod for my phone to try that out. The SC300 was, for me, the best of the budget launch monitors. Right up until they released the Mevo+ however the Mevo+ is three times the price so really shouldn't be compared with the SC300i either... Nice review again, especially the video capture part 👍👍👍 thanks for taking the time to do it.

I find my original SC300 is really good at judging the carry distance of pitch shots with wedges, even if the ball only travels 3 or 4 feet into my net. I wonder if they traded spin rate tracking in wedges for this more valuable capability somehow?

I liked the silver trim on the 300 looks classy. Plain black looks cheap. Purely aesthetic opinion of course.

The 300i has new circuitry for indoor and outdoors. I got the 300i but won’t be able to use it for a couple of weeks.

What numbers are calculated and what numbers are measured? For example my SC200 doesn't measure clubhead speed, it's calculated but 110 mph clubhead speed is the same whether you shank it or hit the sweet spot, isn't it? It would calculate clubhead speed based on smash factor>?

That would be the SC300, not the SC300i model.

I have not found to the SC300i to be accurate at all. I've used and experimented with it on both ranges and courses, and the data often times makes no sense. I've hit line drives that did not get higher than my head and the SC300i said the Apex was 70 feet or more. I've hit limited flight range balls and recorded smash factors in excess of 1.50 with my driver. Even the data within the SC300i doesn't make sense at times. I've had two balls hit with the same club, recorded identical swing speeds, smash factors, and launch angles, and recorded a farther carry and total distance on the shot that had 1,000 more RPMS on the spin. I guess you can count the number of balls you've hit during a range session!?

May I have your old one?
