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!!!

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
