How does the 3bay read for little chips etc   30-50 yard shots?  yes those shots roll out, so carry vs final distance can change, but overall pretty good? with lower swing speed shots?

Thanks!

Ok, I finally had an opportunity to test this with wedges. Attached are the FO, DR and stats for 45 yard flop shot. Of course the face was open, I was going for loft. I could not get 3Bay GSA to read a chip. There is simply not enough back swing in a chip for the device to distinguish it from a swing to just movement.[IMG][IMG] [/IMG][/IMG]

This is my experience with the 3Bays GSA last weekend.

A friend of mine recently purchased one, and we gave it a go at the range. From what I can tell, the reads are quite accurate albeit the small stature of the device. It recorded every
swing we took and was the process is reasonably fast for a bluetooth connection.

There are quite a few parameters measured. I find the Club Head Speed, Ball Speed and
Swing Path most useful and easiest to decipher. On the contrary, parameters such as Consistency and Tempo, were a bit hard to utilize for amatures like myself, unless a gold pro or a coach or someone with extensive knowledge of the swing was there to help me understand and best apply it to my swing.

I was also working on my driver as I tend to slice it quite a bit. With the swing path, I can tell that I maybe dipping and bobbling my head a little, as there is a sort of irregular"dent" on my downswing compare to my back swing. This, as I gather other information, affects the impact angle, and likely changed my square face at set up into an open face just before impact.

I do wish they tell you the impact angle/ face angle. It only tells you whether you have hit the ball with an open face, close face or square.

Overall, its a pretty neat device which you can carry around to the range or on the course. I like how it is inserted on the top of the club, rather than having something you clamp on the shaft. It does move after a few swings, so minor adjustment/re-positioning is need from time to time, but I was not bothered by it.

I saw such a mark and there is a mark on the grip, but the lineup is then based on how the grip was installed.  Visually, this line to the club face would be perpendicular to the lines on it.  So does the vertical line intersect with the line on the bottom of the club face or somewhere else?  Or does it really matter??

The earlier suggestion is based on how the grip is usually inserted, which often is lined with the club face. But as long as you can line the arrow of the GSA to the clubface, there should not be any problem.

I'm surprised there's no mention of the Swingsmart in this thread, from the research I conducted it seems the best product, albeit slightly more money than some of the others. It measures speed, tempo, face angle and lag and provides 3D view of your swing from a number of angles, it also has a training mudule that records swings without hitting a ball. I took the plunge a few months ago and was initially disappointed with the number of unregistered swings, obviously a bug which has now been fixed (almost) with an upgrade. The information transfer is pretty much immediate and the device is generally simple to use, but it is not perfect. Be interested to know what other users think.

Looked as several other units than the GSA and found they were all similar except as to how they are used on the club itself.  It appeared to me that the GSA was the easiest to relocate which made it a stand out for me.  I must confess that I was and still am concerned about the "insert process" and what the breaking point maybe.  I would have like to see a screw type tip to get into the handle of the grip.

Any one heard of the tip breaking?

    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
    • Generally speaking, extended warranties are a terrible deal and should almost always be avoided. They are a huge profit center for the companies that offer them, which should tell you almost everything you need to know about how much value most consumers get when purchasing them.  This is correct, and the old adage applies - only buy insurance when you can't afford the loss. This usually doesn't apply to most consumer goods.  To your second question, no I don't believe the offer is fair. They are replacing it, but it is not being replaced at "no cost to you". Since the amount being disputed (over $500) is non-trivial, I would probably push the issue. Don't waste your time on the phone with a customer service agent or a supervisor. They have probably given you all they have the authority to do. Rather, I would look at the terms of your agreement and specifically legal disputes. The odds are you probably agreed to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute. The agreement will outline what steps need to be followed, but it will probably look something like this.  1. Mail the Nordic Track legal department outlining your dispute and indicate you are not satisfied with the resolution offered.  2. Open up a case with the AAA (American Arbitration Association), along with the required documentation. 3. Wait about 4-5 weeks for a case to be opened - at which point someone from Nordic Track's legal department will offer to give you the new model at no cost to you.  They certainly don't want to spend the time and energy to fight you over $500. 4. Enjoy your new Nordic Track at no cost to you. I recently entered binding arbitration against a fairly large and well known company that screwed me over and refused to make it right. In my demand letter, I made a pretty sizeable request that included compensation for my time and frustration. Once it hit their legal department, they cut me a check - no questions asked. It was far cheaper to settle with me than to send their legal team to defend them in the arbitration.
    • I never thought of looking at it on multiple purchases like you said.  Yes, the extended may help me on 1 or 2 items but not the other 5 or 6.
    • Day 84 - Forgot to post yesterday, but I did some more chipping/pitching.    Back/neck were feeling better today, so I did a much overdue Stack session.
