I was looking at the sgx gps reviews, and there not saying good things about it. I was wondering if anyone else had advices about it. It's gonna be the sgx or the callaway pro.

Well, keep in mind that on the internet you typically only here from those who are upset. That said, there have been some bugs with the SGX that were quickly corrected in an April 20th update (and another one before that) and they came out yesterday and said they'd have another major update by Wednesday night ( click here for details about 1.0.11).

The uPro is a nice piece. Personally, I chose the SGX and have had zero problems so far. I'll admit there are some that have had many issues, but like I said, people who are upset tend to vent their frustration on the internet more than those who are happy.

So, in the end, it's up to you. Head to the store and see which one you like. Visit www.skygolf.com and browse the details about the SGX and course capabilities and see if it's the one for you. Also, don't forget the SmartClub technology that will be coming out this summer. That alone should set the SGX apart from everything else out there.

Good luck with whichever decision you make.

Have you looked at the Garmin G5? It has a couple of pros which I don't think the others have:

1) Touch screen that allows you to press anywhere on the screen showing the fairway/hole and it tells you distance from where you are to that point and distance from that point to the center of the green. Great feature when trying to decide where to layup based on what clubs you hit most consistently

2) No annual subscription fees. All course that i've played at were already included in the device, and they issue firmware and course updates every several months or so.........for free!!!


The device works great for me!!!

      The Stack System - A Conversation on Gaining Swing Speed

      By StuM · Posted

      Better late than never.  I got The Stack System over 2 years ago.  Problems with ruptured tendon and bone-on-bone knee stopped me from using it.  Foot was a year to full recovery.  Had the knee done in January.  This weekend was first full swings in quite a while, With spring here (at least according to the calendar) I’m finally going to do the program.  It’s 32 degrees with flurries tonight so I’m not sure exactly when I will start but should be soon.

      Day 29  (6 Apr 26) - Snuck  a few balls with the 6i while waiting for the local school tournament golf match to start.  Worked on tempo - starting with 1/2 swings working to full while working the ball slightly from side to side.

      ShotScope LM1 ($200 Launch Monitor/Speed Radar)

      By iacas · Posted

      Erik J. Barzeski (@iacas) • Instagram reel 1 likes, 0 comments - iacas on April 6, 2026: "The LM1 from @shot_scope is a $200 launch monitor with a great display and extreme portability. Since 98% of a ball's distance inside of about 150 yards is determined... The ShotScope LM1 is a $200 launch monitor that made waves last fall and at the PGA Show in January. Think of it like the PRGR or the Stack radar, but in a different form factor and with a better display. It's also got a rechargeable battery (no messing around with AA or AAA batteries), and a bigger, brighter, multi-color screen over the greyscale LCD on those units. I believe it still uses the same algorithms to "guess" at the distance given the club you've chosen, assuming a relatively moderate launch angle. I do not believe it measures your "VLA" (vertical launch angle). As we know from Dr. Sasho MacKenzie, ball speed for shots 150 yards and shorter accounts for about 98% of the distance the ball travels, assuming you didn't blade the bejeezus out of it, so the LM1 can, like other simple launch monitors, really help you dial in your distance wedges. I don't think ShotScope is honoring discount codes yet (you're free to try clicking the link and using the codes in the sidebar here at TST), and it's sold out for now anyway. But, you can sign up to be notified when it's back in stock. I'll update this thread as I continue to test the unit, but so far I really like: Ease of setup and use. The quality, brightness, and colors of the display. Battery life seems adequate. I'm not sure about five hours, but… it'll last well over a full session. The battery charges quickly and with a standard USB-C cable. I had some difficulties inside when players were hitting drivers into a net 13 or 14 feet away. Many swings reported 35 MPH, or 38, or 32. My hunch was that it was seeing the speed the screen moved, perhaps, as we tried a number of configurations. It was a solid screen, not a net, and later testing to an archery net that was 35 feet away yielded consistent and reasonable numbers every time.
