I have searched and found many threads with info and some that say there should be a full review of the flightscope soon can't find it. My question I am going to buy a launch monitor for helping myself and teaching my son so it won't be for making money just personal use. I'm looking at the Vector pro and the flightscope prime, I know the trackman is the best but it is hard to justify that much money, what does anyone think of the others? If you were going to buy which one would you get and why. Thanks for any help.

You can justify $8k for a Flightscope for you and your son to use, though?

We've not had much chance to do the FS review. It's still planned, though.

I think it's worth it, yeah. It's very fairly priced. But the last 20% of the functionality is 80% of the cost in machines like this...

But here's what I'd do if I were you - look at the market for a used Vector Pro. If they still sell for a good rate buy one, use it, and then sell it if you don't like it. Or you may end up keeping it.

So the Vector pro is the way to go?

yea check ebay for used ones. Usually the only people who would spend 9 grand on something like that is a business who makes money off of it and needs it for their customers. It might be better to find a place who has one and pay to use it. Those things cost the price of a decent used vehicle,lol.

I'm not worried about the 9k for the flightscope if it is that much better than the Vector pro, I was looking for reviews and opinions from first hand use if possible. I will look for a vector and give it a try unless there are any other opinions. Thanks

I have found a Vector pro but am still not sure about the accuracy of them does anyone have first hand knowledge of the vector pro and how good or not it is. TIA

$9000 will buy a whole lot of range balls and lessons. Hell, even a Wii with A Tiger Woods game would make more sense then dropping 9k but it's your money.

Ive used vector pro's for a fair while when do fittings. They are great!

Im also looking at buying a second hand Vector Pro, they have been seeling for Min 800$ US on Ebay and about 2500$ max.

Ive talked it over with my golf coach and they said it would be worth while buying one since I do lots of practise and since it's winter down here and it's been raining and alot of courses are closed because of all the rain. Ill wait for one to go cheep and then it;s mine :P

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
