3BAYS GSA PRO - anyone have it - Page 3

Well that is an impressive carry. I do well to carry 210 and the 3 Bay GSA seems to match my actual carry very closely. The only time I carried 250 was in Las Vegas' Desert Pines in 0 humidity.

I wish it was impressive to my regular foursome. I wanted it to piss them off, but if they've noticed, they haven't said anything. They have, however, PAID, and that's the name of DAT TUNE.

How does the 3bay read for little chips etc   30-50 yard shots?  yes those shots roll out, so carry vs final distance can change, but overall pretty good? with lower swing speed shots?

 

Thanks!

That's good question, Jim. I actually haven't tried that aspect, but I'll give it a shot this weekend and post some results for you.

Meanwhile, here's me finally getting "inside"!

Agreed, good question Jim.  It's ability to pick up the shorter/slower swings used in chipping and pitching might convince me to pull the trigger on the 3 Bays...looking forward to Dagger's follow up...

Ok, I finally had an opportunity to test this with wedges. Attached are the FO, DR and stats for 45 yard flop shot. Of course the face was open, I was going for loft. I could not get 3Bay GSA to read a chip. There is simply not enough back swing in a chip for the device to distinguish it from a swing to just movement.[IMG][IMG]

Apparently you can only upload one image at a time.

This is my experience with the 3Bays GSA last weekend.

A friend of mine recently purchased one, and we gave it a go at the range. From what I can tell, the reads are quite accurate albeit the small stature of the device. It recorded every 
swing we took and was the process is reasonably fast for a bluetooth connection. 

There are quite a few parameters measured. I find the Club Head Speed, Ball Speed and 
Swing Path most useful and easiest to decipher. On the contrary, parameters such as Consistency and Tempo, were a bit hard to utilize for amatures like myself, unless a gold pro or a coach or someone with extensive knowledge of the swing was there to help me understand and best apply it to my swing. 

 

I was also working on my driver as I tend to slice it quite a bit. With the swing path, I can tell that I maybe dipping and bobbling my head a little, as there is a sort of irregular"dent" on my downswing compare to my back swing. This, as I gather other information, affects the impact angle, and likely changed my square face at set up into an open face just before impact.

I do wish they tell you the impact angle/ face angle. It only tells you whether you have hit the ball with an open face, close face or square.

Overall, its a pretty neat device which you can carry around to the range or on the course. I like how it is inserted on the top of the club, rather than having something you clamp on the shaft. It does move after a few swings, so minor adjustment/re-positioning is need from time to time, but I was not bothered by it.
