I've heard it's not accurate. Wonder how sales are doing? http://www.att.com/accessories/specialty-items/swingbyte-2-golf-swing-analyzer.html?partner=LinkShare&siteId;=lw9MynSeamY-mZIAr.GT6sdHigfhTNa57A

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

For only $10 it seems like it might be worth a try.

Umm...I can sell you a bunch of other random stuff that does't work very well. ;-)

Yours in earnest, Jason.

I've been leery of those devices in fear that self diagnosis could lead to undoing what I work on with my instructor. On my own I don't want to chase numbers, especially not numbers that may or may not be accurate, just continue what I do with him. I've yet to have a follow up lesson where my numbers haven't improved only working through the drills he assigned. The one very small full swing change we made was months ago and my guess is we won't move on until 2015.

Like what?

I would've given it a shot for $10. IIRC it had swing speed and if only that worked decent I would pay $10 for it. Why is AT&T; selling it?

If it's the original SwingByte, it's been replaced by the SwingByte 2 or higher. there WERE issues with V1 like the clip not holding very well, connectivity issues, and stuff like that

Have one and it really messes with me when I am practicing and decided to put it away. Trackman and a few other expensive devices are about as good as you can get but most of us cannot afford those things.   I tend to regress when I start relying heavily on numbers.  I focus more on ball flight and how far the ball goes.  If you learn the ball flight laws you really do not need these electronic gadgets, but they sure are fun to play with though.

I glued an old coffee cup to a mop handle. It's a really shitty ball retriever but...it's only $7. C'mon, $7, how can you go wrong?

I'll take it depending on how long the handle is but I want fee shipping.

It said Swingbyte 2. It's sold out though so I guess it's really neither here nor there, unless someone has it somewhere else for $10 it was probably a mistake.

I can make that work, but you'll have to buy two.

I paid about $150 for the original.  Used it for maybe an hour.  It didn't hold well, had connectivity issues, and was more of a pain than it was worth.

I probably would have bought game golf if not for my experience with the swingbyte. Instead I will wait until the reviews are all complete and the bugs worked out.

Fee shipping???  Is that where you pick whatever "fee" you want to ship it......

    • However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.
    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
    • Wordle 1,035 3/6 ⬜🟨🟨🟩⬜ 🟨🟨🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Just lipped out that Eagle putt, easy tab-in Birdie
    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
