Thanks for the response, Ty. Any other opinions on accuracy from other users?

Skycaddie claims an accuracy of "within 1 yard" im pretty sure. I have found my SG2 to be very accurate when I have used it, certainly nowhere near 30-60 feet. Id say their 1 yard estimate is pretty darn close on the (4star skycaddie rated) courses ive played on.

Ty,

I only chose the SG3 because I was buying one for the first time. Although the "Target" screens are a lot more detailed, I don't know if I would trade up if I was in your spot? The SG2 is a GREAT unit...I only ended up buying a SkyCaddie because I was so impressed when I played with guys who were using the SG2.

I got an SG4 for Christmas and couldn't be happier. The quick, accurate range provided has been a godsend - especially inside 100 yards.

For those people looking for a case - i got a "Gilsson MEN - Neoprene case for eXplorist series" online and it fits like a glove.

Peace

I dont think the case itself will interfere with the signal. I was just curious as to if the buttons are pressable with the case on. I seemed to see 2 versions of the case, 1 that had a clear plastic face, and one that had no plastic face. Let us know how it works on the course.

Just bought sky caddie sg3 today. I wasn't quite sure what the difference between the 2 and 3 but the kid at the golf shop said it had a bigger screen and that was good enough for me. Plus there was only a 20.00 difference btw the two so I opted for the 3. Will use on New Year's and see how it works.

Stickboy,

Just curious if you got a chance to use your new toy and how it worked for you?

mrbillinoc,

It worked well. It gave yardage to layup areas, to greenside bunkers as well as distances to all parts of the green. It did not help my score in any way(nothing would have helped that day!). I do like the fact that you can measure how far you hit the ball. Overall, I like it but I don't know if I would go out and purchase it for myself. I think it would be better for me to use while walking instead of riding.

Look under accessories for the Magellan Explorist series.
The Explorist series & the SG3/SG4 are the same box.

Is the SG3/4 made by Magellan..this picture is identical to what the SG3 looks like..even the button configurations are way too similar and the little emblem at the top.

It looks like the same exact unit to me. I guess maybe skygolf outsourced the production to them. When i turn on my SG4 there is a magellan screen that loads up at the beginning.

I got my SG-4 12/15/06 but had not been aware of the "Gilsson MEN - Neoprene case for eXplorist series" until a few minutes ago. I just ordered one over the internet. I had been carrying the SG-4 around the course/s in a plastic freezer bag, so when the neoprene case gets delivered, it will be a big step forward for me.

      Scottie & Rory on Wedge Game

      Ooh, I don't know about that. I've hit flop shots that are 6-7° down. The more you widen the spin loft the less ball speed you put into the ball.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By StuM ·

      Can't brag about a 50 last night but it was the best round of my season (4 rounds of 9 holes) so I am not as upset as I could be.  One thing I am noticed is that I got a little more confident in my long hybrids and I attempted a couple longer shots that typically I would just lay up and those holes were a big part of the lower score.  Not every shot was great but good enough that they helped.  I even shot par on a Par 5 after taking a drop.  On that hole I would usually lay-up to @ 100 yards and often miss the green altogether with my 3rd shot (or worse chunk my approach and put it in the waste area).  Yesterday I went for it from @ 200 yards out with wind in my face and landed in the waste area short of the green.  My drop left @ 40 yards in and I stuck it to 3 feet for my par putt.  If I had laid up I would have avoided the penalty stroke but likely would not have been on the green in regulation and may still have been working for par.  By going for it I gave myself a chance at birdie and still saved par. I do not plan on being crazy aggressive but I think I tend to be too conservative at times so I will "go for it" a little more often going forward.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 14 (15 May 24) - Worked with the SW in the backyard, short pitches from 10yds up to 30yds.   Focused on ball placement in stance - ball back, ball forward, ball center.  Afterwards moved to inside the shop to work on putting pace on the rug - putting one way gives about an 8' putt, going the other a 6' before bumping onto the adjacent rug.  Focused there on the line - picking a target point about 18"-24" out and making sure the ball rolls through that point.

      When someone is trying to validate their choice, statements concluding with "right" are often the MO.  Too bad he thinks he has to keep defending his decision, just do like guys like DJ and HVIII - take the money, play the tourneys and keep quiet.
