I had a couple of nice golf gift cards burning a hole in my pocket. So, I purchased a Swing Caddie SC 300. I've done a bunch of testing with it and I'm satisfied that it is plenty accurate enough for the data I want to get out of it. 

So far I've found Carry Distance, Swing Speed, Smash Factor and Ball Speed to be pretty darn close, Peak height seems to be a little generous, but I'm not sure how much I need that anyway. 

Here's my one issue. The Android App. As best I can tell it doesn't work at all... I mean AT ALL. 

Have any of you guys tried the Android App? Were you able to get it to work? Looking for some help here because I can't get it to do anything. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

I don't have the Swing Caddie SC 300 but thought I'd ask the question.    What Android phone do you have?   What version of Android are you running?  Since there are so many different phones and different version of the operating system, it may be relative.

I have a Samsung Galaxy s8. 

Okay so I emailed their customer service and they wrote back suggesting I delete the app and redownload it. 

I was okay, that seems silly. But sure enough it worked. 

I'm now getting the data on my phone. My first impression is that the app is a little cumbersome. I only just got it working so I'll try to do a full review after I tinker with it for a while.

I have the SC200 and like it a lot. I expect I would like the SC300 even more. Please do check back and let us know how well it works for you.

Why does that seem silly? Every time I call IT tech support they ask if the computer is plugged ; If I have turned off and rebooted? I always see it as a corrupted file.

I've never had to do that with a phone app before. Normally, I just download them and they work. 
This was a first for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
