how is the info presented on the phone. do you have a breakdown of your round? fairways hit, gir, avg distance per club, # of putts, etc?

i played today after work, got 18 in just under 2:20 and i shot an even 100. probably rushed a little too much but i wanted to get home

Short answer: yes. The GPS auto detects whether you hit the fairway (or missed right/ left), putts, GIR, etc. There's honestly more data than I know what to do with right now. Also breaks down each club, avg and longest distances with each (even keeps an archive of exactly what holes used on). Can also look at how you do on par 3s vs 4s vs 5s. Can sort by course golfed. You name it, it's probably there. I'll text you a couple screen shots

I actually had probably my best round of driving ever, missed only 1 fairway. I was interested to see I don't have nearly the distance I thought I did from the tee. Good pokes for me were in the 240s, but I was able to cork one 270+ today

with arrccos you have to go into the system on the phone and delete the shot from the averages.

not sure about this one
Going through the app, it automatically removes outliers (pitch and runs around the green). You can also manually go in and remove a shot if you want

Had my fitting yesterday, it was pretty damn cool. Had the full trackman on, so it showed all my stats (smash factor, attack angle, etc) and it was cool to see all of that. Got my fitting done, going 3 degrees upright on the irons.

Played afterwards, which was a bad idea. I hit probably 100 shots during the 3 hour fitting, and by the time we hit the back nine I had nothing left in the tank. I also had a whole lot of random swing thoughts going on. It was weird going from the clubs they fit me for, back to my clubs. Can't wait for the new ones to show up

Great review man... thanks! Feel free to update if you play any more or notice anything else. I sent the link to my wife, but I'm unsure if she decided to go for it. If not, I may look at grabbing them in the coming weeks.

It's the lie of the club head. Standard is 62.5 degrees.

My current ones are 61.5 degrees (mizuno standard). My new ones start at 61.5 degrees (mizuno standard), but I'll be getting them at 3 degrees upright (+3 from standard) so 64.5 degrees.

i played again today. shot a 96. 2nd round under 100 out of my last 3. (98, 100, 96)

i'm definitely making progress, i'm crushing irons. just need to get more consistent on accuracy. i hit it long and straight but often i'm lined up wrong and hit it to the wrong spot away from the target.

Walked 9 this morning with 3 other guys. Tracking system worked like a charm and was subtle enough that the other guys didnt know anything about it until the 7th hole when one asked what the blue things at the end of my clubs was all about. I did forget to register a shot so I had to manually add one, as well as a lost ball manual stroke added (which I added a shot too late on #12. My drive went OB but I didnt add the penalty until after hitting the dropped shot). Really like the data its giving me (in particular the scatter shot graphs for each club), and Im quickly learning my putting is shit

I occasionally go through spells where I find myself doing the same thing. I feel like maybe my grip is inconsistent and I occasionally leave the face open, who knows

Bitch to them. If they gave you a guarantee delivery date and they're missing it, complain. If you're a master complainer with this kind of stuff and you shop Amazon a lot, you will get something out of it.

Anytime something doesn't meet their "guaranteed delivery date" I send them a message. Nothing mean or complaining really, just more an fyi. They generally have extended my prime subscription by a month each time

We just got Amazon same day delivery in our area. So i order everything same day. They haven't met the same day expectation once yet in 4 orders. I've gotten a month of Prime added for each delivery time not met.

I guess they are working out the kinks but I'll take it!
