I bought the X10. After about 2 weeks, my X10 also lost the speed numbers. Seems to be a common problem. But, it's made in China ...

The seller sent a new one and told me to keep the old one. Going into the 3rd week with the replacement and it's still working. So far, have improved my speed from 70 to 90. It's a matter of learning technique (lag). So, taking my new swing to the course in a few minutes!

I found this site looking for others that had the same problem, and yes, I do too.  Seeing the X10 on the Golf Channel and Peter Kostis endorsing it made me want to give it a try.  First swing I was only 82. By the next day I was hitting 92 regularly.  But I couldn't seem to get past the 2 on the settings.  On the third day, I hit the ground when I was swinging it left handed and the shell for the electronics just exploded.

I contacted Supersoic and Golf Tailor sent me another one. While I was waiting, I could still use the trainer even though the shell was broken.  Right after my new one got here, I was hitting 102.  Not bad for a 63 year old who had rotator cuff surgery 5 months ago. But then, my first one completely fell apart.  No problem, I had just got my new one. 

The new one was better in that the slider would break free all the way up to 6 during my good swings. But on the same day I put the new one into use, same problem.  I realize I was catching the ground with it, but i didn't think it was that hard.  Plus, you start to really whip it hard to get the feedback from the higher numbers.

I am giving up on this until they make the changes that I have recommended. They need to shorten the shaft about 3 inches, and they should add a coil spring on the end to make up the difference.  The coil spring would allow you to see your swing path on the ground without actually hitting the ground and damaging the trainer.

If they do shorten it, I would buy it again. But in the meantime, I just threw away $120 for two shafts that I can only use for checking my alignment.

    • I kind of like this interpretation especially if you think about it the unplayable rule would probably put you in a better spot.  using back on the line releief.  
    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.
