Just curious.
When do you expect to get the system?
And when do you expect it to be fully armed and operational?

Two days after I know the exact date of the answer to the first question.

I'm waiting on the netting to ship so I can schedule the guy to come out and install the cameras, basically.

I'm curious about how Gears works for instruction. I have seen a bunch of AMG videos where they show various unnamed "tour players" with XX wins and $XX million dollars of winnings, and sometimes comparison of said tour player versus an amateur. Do the tour player Gears data come as part of the system, or does AMG have that in their database because they have captured a bunch of professionals? And does Gears have some sort of reference parameter library so instructors can identify elements of their student's swing that need work?

I could give a lengthy response to that. And I will try to later today.

Gonna leave this page open in a tab as my reminder.

Cool, thanks! I'm really interested, from an instructor's perspective, how the insane amount of information Gears provides is used versus video and launch monitor, and how instructors who use Gears are able to identify meaningful data versus noise.

Honestly when I watch AMG, I appreciate the concepts they present, but amount of data can sometimes feel overwhelming as a learner. Maybe it's simpler than I am making it out to be for people who have spend their lives teaching golf swings.

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
