I was interested in club path and face measurements and according to Rice, SB needs work. Obviously a device that is a fraction of the cost of TM isn't going to be as accurate, but he gave both in terms of accuracy a 1/5. One guy in the comments said SB returned 36 degrees in-out. To quote Johnny Miller, yowza . Oh well, maybe the next version will be better. He gave CH speed and attack angle better marks though.

Its unfortunate that he didn't have the Swingbyte 2.  The original simply wouldn't stay put on the club shaft, which is probably why the path and face were off while the clubhead speed and angle of attack were accurate.  I think they've improved the latching mechanism on the second version.

Hi! I already said it in another post but I got the swingbyte 2 since one week

and I confirm that the club face and swingpath(which were the important data for me)

are not accurate at all...for now.

I compared my data using a 45000$ golf simulator against SB2.

I found that SB2 was more consistent in club head speed then the simulator.

The problem with swing path and face angle is that SB2 doesn't know where your

target is so it assumes that it is where the club face is pointing.

In other word you have to have a perfect square face relative to your target and

perfectly aligned SB2 to your clubface to get usefull data for clubpath and face angle at impact.

In my case I usually have a closed club face at adress so SB2 think my target is way

left then I have ridiculous 25 degree inside-out clubpath. This problem should be fix

when the ITR(target recognition) will be available in the next software update.

      Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?

      Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
