Does anyone else use the Swing Speed Radar?  I bought it from amazon a few weeks ago to do some training.  I just want to see if anyone thinks it is accurate.  After I get warmed up I can hit 120+ about 1 out of every 5 swings.  It seems like my average is about 115-116. Also, I don't hit a ball, I just swing.

The thing is, I wanted to see how accurate it was so I took it to Golf Galaxy and they let me hit it on their sim.  While hitting balls, the swing speed radar was anywhere from 0 to 12 mph faster than their measurements (my average on their equipment was about 106).  So I am wondering if my $100 radar is inaccurate or their equipment is inaccurate.  I think I know the answer, but I wanted to see if anyone else has used it.

I just saw your post and wanted to comment.  i definitely think their are inaccuracies with the aerometer.  you can fix it by ordering the vhs instruction manual for around $70 however it is typically on back order and complex but its probably the best way.  if you don't do that then take the battery out and put back in, that almost always works.

I think it could be due to the fact that you have been just swinging with it, and not hitting a ball. I am certain I can swing faster when I am not hitting a ball (practice swing syndrome).

This thing only works when barefoot hitting aDunlop 13-c driver. Ask Treys, she knows how to do that. Or you could ask your cousins uncle to get your money back. Might only cost you 10 bucks.

I know. I just didn't want start a new thread about the product just to comment on their customer service. I figure it would good for people to know they could get the LCD display piece replaced free of charge if they sent an email to Sports Sensors.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By billchao ·

      Best drive I've ever hit: I will not be answering any questions about the rest of the hole. Or the round, for that matter.

      7 Wood

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      I tried hybrids way back when TaylorMade introduced the copper orange Firesole Rescue, the clubhead having been made of titanium which was still relatively new even in drivers back then. I couldn't hit it well at all, and while the success of hybrids suggests that the modern ones must be quite good,  I'm perfectly happy with the 5, 7, and 9-woods.  Early ones of mine were Top Flite Intimidator 400s made by Spalding... and also made of titanium, now that I think of it.  I still have them in my basement. I do bag a driving iron, but it's a one-trick-pony that never sees fairway use.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      The last time I played Maxfli balls, Dunlop was still making them. How long ago was that? Mostly, though, I used to play Top Flites (original 336 dimple model) when Spalding was still making them. Now I play the Pro V1x. Last time that I ordered some, Titleist was still making them. Let's see how long that lasts.

      My Favorite Putts

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      Once, on a course in Middleton, Massachusetts that I used to love but has since closed down,  I hit the wrong half of a huge, UK style double green.  Then I made the hundred foot putt.  Tough to  forget that one.
