Hey everyone,

My dad is looking to buy the new Callaway uPro MX when it comes out this spring (I think May).  He wanted to know if anyone has used the uPro and what they like and don't like about it.  I believe the MX come preloaded with 25,000 courses and for just $50 more you get flyovers of every hole and other additional features

So what is your favorite thing about the Callaway uPro

What is the biggest negative you have

Would you recommend it, or would you suggest my dad to get another brand.  If so why?

Thanks everyone.

I was given the uPro as a gift, I like it alot, but it's not perfect.  The screen is a bit small, it can require alot of button presses to access different functions, uses proprietary batteries and it can be painful to synch up with your PC if you don't have the right PC configuration right.  It works flawlessly on my laptop, but gives me fits on my desktop.

On a positive there's no annual fees, basic mode is useful, the pro mode courses (reasonably priced) are quite detailed with fly over views, and the batteries do last at least a round without any problem.  The upgraded version also keeps scores and track of your GIR, Fairways, etc.

Most people I've spoken to think the uPro is one of the best out there, mostly because of not requiring annual fees, which is good, especially if you just play a few courses each year.

The original one is discontinued and the new version is due out next month.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

I bought a uPro on woot for $100 or so a few months ago.  I've only played 3 rounds since, but I like it.  I had borrowed a friend's previously.  I set mine up on his computer, so I haven't tested if it is compatible on my computer yet, although I'm told the OS that runs the uPro is Ubuntu, and so it should play nicely with my computers.

    • Day 152 (01 Oct 24) - Still dealing with the crud so I kept it simple - simple 3/4 swings with the 6i into the net and wrapping up with similar swings using hard foam balls to get some ball flight visuals (you know its getting good when 6 out 7 balls finish within a 10yd circle).  Side bar: the great thing about the Edel SMS 6i is that it lets you know when you've made solid contact and when you haven't.  
    • I noticed that too.   But back to the original post - as a partial foot amputee (all the toes on the left foot from motorcycle wreck) - carts are part of my game.  I do try to get in a walking of at least 9 once a month.  We don't know enough of the story to know "why" they are carting - but if one was to surmize, I would suggest its a YouTube /Instagram / X (Twitter) thing.  How many golf vloggers are out there that are not "carting" it.  Take the guys of Good Good, its offshoot Grant Horvath, Bob Does Golf, Bryan Bros just to name a few.  They pretty much cart it all the time - so for many the cart life is a "given".    Maybe it was more a "snipe" at the content crown and not so much at the guys in the photo.  
    • It’s gatekeeping and it’s dumb. Why do they even care that people are riding?
    • Correlation might be there, but I don't think that really helps you get where you want to be. For example, I see a 67.4 from the sound app going with a PRGR reading of 79.0 and a 67.2 from the sound app going with a 85.0. Bear in mind most people are going to be swinging a club at roughly similar speeds most of the time, so the range of speeds with a 7 iron swing might be say 88-91 for a given player. That's fairly tight and just based on what you're showing above, you're looking at sound numbers that are going to be wider than the spread of speeds for the same exact speed every time. You've got a 6 mph swing speed difference in the table with a 0.2 difference in sound and going the wrong way. I don't think given that you'll get anything valuable out of this, even if you could set it up perfectly every time.  Having said that, I'd think that your own ears are probably better at figuring out how loud the woosh is than the decibel meter. Our ears are very good at pinpointing a specific frequency to focus on, which the sound app won't do. Your ears are also going to be permanently about the same distance from the clubhead. It's not going to be scientific, but you could probably tell whether one swing is faster than another based on how they sound if that's what you're focused on. Certainly not going to be useful session to session, but swings back to back if you're just trying to swing faster than you did last time, you might have a chance of telling that from the sound you hear. 
    • Eh. Do your hips back when they swivel like he demonstrates? Or do they tend to go forward as they rotate?
