Anybody using the Zepp Golf 2?

[Shark918v]

I have the Zepp 2 Golf (the round sensor). 

 

Ive read the manual multiple times, and have approximately 500 ball strikes. 

 

As I'm new to golf I can't seriously vouch for its accuracy, but I will say this: it's helping me improve my golf swing. 

 

The 3D swing analysis is a great tool as is the swing comparison capability. In my opinion once you learn about what the tool measures and how it can be quite effective it 

 

However, I do have a question: In the daily swings window, what does the red "P" next to the specific swing data mean?

 

Please and Thanks for any input. 

 

V/R, 

Chris

I'm not sure how helpful it is in terms of telling you what to work on. It wanted to give me anti-slice advice, and I never slice!  Seriously though, my miss is a big hook, so I wasn't sure what to make of it.

I also have Zepp 2. I wondered about this ^^^ too, because the Swing Plane shows me consistently "over plane" from 4-10%, but like you, I haven't sliced in over two years (my miss is a hook or pull; rarely a push).

I was reading somewhere the swing plane function does not actually detect an over the top move (OTT). It only compares backswing plane to downswing plane and takes the difference. Curious what others may have found out. 

Zepp does appear to be accurate in terms of tempo, backswing, and club head speed.

I used the Zepp 2 and found it good and liked it, However, now I am using the Blast Motion sensor and really like it more than the Zepp.  Very affordable, and super easy to use.  https://blastmotion.com/

This isn't saying that the Zepp is bad, just for my personal use I like the Blast better.

Sounds like it's reading your plane correct.   If your miss is typically a big hook or pull, then most likely you are coming out-to-in.  just, not very far, and you've learned to compensate by squaring the club face to the path.   Most people with any out-to-in swing path slice or fade.   because it's actually quite difficult to square the face to the path on an out-to-in swing.      The sensor can only make ball flight assumption based on path.

Not sure if you still need an answer for this but the red "P" icon appears for swings that are registered where you didn't strike a ball. Handy for doing practice swings and then recognizing them later for possible deletion.

Anyone have any experience with these? Accurate,useful, pile of garbage, waste of time?

Was introduced to one of these through a friend and just got back to playing again and a few things about it did peak my interest. Club path, hand path and plane are my #1 things I'm interested in because it's the most important to me. Naturally I'm a over the top kind of right handed player...so swinging inside/out is very important to me, and it's quite obvious when I forget about doing it.

Anyone got any suggestions on this?

[iacas]

I have a few but never use them. I’ve not really ever been sold on how accurate it can be given what it does and where it is and everything.

But I do know in putting/chipping many will use it.

[jlbos83]

I have one.  I have used it now and then, and while I don't know about it's absolute accuracy, I do believe it give a picture of the plane that is useful.  For fine tuning, I doubt it, but I think it will show whether you are OTT or coming from the inside, and how your backswing plane and throughswing plane compare.  I haven't been using it lately, since I have my place more or less under control.

Well I am searching for anything to help my golf game at this point.  Took some lessons, scores skyrocketed and could barely get a golf ball in the air.  Bought this little Zepp 2 device to hopefully help my game, wishful thinking on my part but a drowning man will grab what ever is available.

I could see how this little piece of tech would work great for someone with a perfect golf swing, shoots scratch or better and it would really be beneficial to see if your numbers change.  Now for someone who is totally incompetent in the game of golf..... well all it does is confirm that yes, your golf swing sucks and needs improvement.  ( My iron game is getting better by the way, just can't hit driver to save my life)

 

That was my quick review but if anyone has one and has any idea how that tempo variable is measured I would like to read what it is because for the life of me I can hit a good iron shot and I am always in the 1.5:1 tempo range.

Also all their pros are gone except for Michelle Wie (so hot still and would kick my ass) so you get lessons from the Zepp guy and a twenty second catch all from Rick Smith.

1.5:1 tempo?  Means your backswing is almost as fast as your downswing!  That is a super quick swing!  Darned near impossible.  Did you calibrate your Zepp?  Did you ask Michelle about that?

Well thanks to the mod who nuked this off the board with post haste and moved it to here.  I wanted to give a full review, did and sorry, post is gone.

Did not know where to put my post, swing chats, equipment chats, fitness and exercise?

 

Never mind, not typing all that again so no one will read it.

Yes indeed.  I feel like I am taking my time but it is always below 2:1.  I have 1.3 to 1 and even lower!!!! no way, just no way.  Even counting 1....2...go, nope.  Tempo too fast.

No problem, I typed up a longer review under reply from my original post and got a disabled golfer with an error.  Not my board, sorry I put something in the wrong spot.

I guess Zepp ran out of money and could not pay any more pros.  Geez, If I was a pro and someone came to me, hey, 10 grand to take a photo and get a practice session with this little device on your glove I would be all in.

Something is fishy with this thing.  No way my tempo is off that much and my hand speed is pro level but my club speed is junior.

What does it tell you your driver swing speed is?

[MOODY]

I had to put it on generic driver as I was using my old Ping G15 instead of Taylor Made RBZ.  Let me look at my best driver score today.

 

An 84 with swing speed of 86 mph, -6 club plane, -3 hand plane, 270 degrees of back swing and a tempo of............... 0.6 to 1

Hand speed 30 mph

What do you expect your hand speed to be?

I know this is an older topic but let me give you a rundown on this Zepp 2.

1.  It is cheap in the world of golf gadgets.  Everything tech cost a bunch of money, talking real money up in to the thousands of dollars for GC quad and the like.

2. It syncs up easily with my I phone 7 plus.  No issues as some have had trouble with this from some reviews I read.

3. Data from your swings are easily tracked and uploaded for you to review.  Wish they had a comment option like, "I flushed that one" or " Hooked the piss out of that one"  hooking my driver is my thing.

4. Swing speed and hand speed don't seem to jive.  I should be hitting it miles compared to my hand speed but my club speed is junior level.

5.  No club models under let's say, seven years.  I still play Ping Rapture irons, not on the list so I go generic.

6. Gives instant feed back of club plane, hand plane, tempo, swing speed and a score from I guess the ideal swing.  Don't really know because there is no ideal swing that you can access or view.  I guess you just have to be Michelle Wie or Koepka.  Kind of useless data unless you are already perfect.

7.  The tips and training from Rick Smith are golf magazine level.  Totally useless.

8. No more  pro swings except for Wie, and really I haven't seen any tips from her.  She is my ideal golf partner... um um.

9.Website gathers your data and charts it into a scoreboard style.  Cool but then what do you do with it.

10.  I took the 10 swing instant evaluation, haven't looked at it yet but will let you know later.

 

All in all, it is something to see how you are doing.  If you are a great golfer this would be really easy to use and see if things are changing.

For us hackers, not much to improve your swing, just a technical gadget to tell you how bad your swing really is.  No chit Sherlock.  My iron game has improved with this Zepp, now if I could only hit a driver.

Per the app they state something like pro's generate on average 22 mph with the driver and amateurs do an average of 16 mph.  I don't know what that translates to in the real world golf as nothing on the app shows you a real world golf swing that I have found.

 

Granted, I have only had this for two weeks.  Need lessons from someone who knows how to teach it simple, my last lessons ended with me totally out of sync.
