does the swingtip assume i hit everything in a straight line, or would it tell me if my practice swing would have sliced etc?

The sensor requires that your club makes contact with a golf ball to register your swing plane.

Hi W. Young, as long as you have the practice mode setting turned on, you can record practice swings along with all of the normal swing data except sweet spot.

I'm not familiar with Swing by Swing. The Approach G3 shows diagrams. Some might call them cartoons, but I find them to be accurate depictions of the course. It does not, however, show relief. If you need that, you should look elsewhere. For those who play mostly in flat places like Florida, flat diagrams work just fine. The Approach shows water hazards accurately. It shows general depictions of forested areas, not accurate locations of particular trees.

I have not used it so the tip would be tested. However, this is the best all around knife for the money. It is one of my favorite knives. I fully recommend it.

I have a 56 degree, if you hit straight on it will be in the box, however if you back up and really get under it, it will go ove the top. At the moment, I am having a impact net being made right now that I can WRAP around the box for garage use and outdoor use. There is always the risk that someone who hits good can slice or someone who comes over to hit with you hits all over and the ball will travel just like it does on the driving range or course....left or right and you need to have that area covered with an impact net to prevent it from breaking something! It is a good box but most of us are average...hope this helps....get a protective impact net built around it...

(Nov 18) This unit works well, it took some effort to get the swing time correct, and the spin balance, but once done it works fine and tracks nicely and is smooth. The gamble is nearly perfect, if it was less so, it would have been easier to get everything in balance. But, make sure that you get the swing ( drop ) time to about 3 seconds, then work on balance. (Dec20 update:) I have about 20 hours of use out of it so far and it is really great. My only complaint is that I had it all balanced out and a TSA agent wanted to look under the plate, so took an hour to get it back to where I had it . . but for the price and size this is good kit!

Yes, just checked my chain; there is an angle guide line inscribed on the top of each cutter link, parallel to cutting edge.

It shows you distance to hazards. In terms of doglegs it shows "end of fairway". But at my home course it seems to measure that to the extreme end and not the closest end of fairway. Also I don't think this is available on all doglegs but just those that are extreme or have hazards through the fairway.

It did for me and so much more. I've played for 40 years and have played most of that time at a single digit handicap. I know the mechanics of a good swing, so all I needed was a pointer in the right direction. The SkyPro does that, YMMV. This is to say, IMO, that it won't take a complete novice to the tour. With some study, dedication and practice, which is required regardless, SkyPro certainly help in your endeavor. Good luck and good golfing! Larry T.

I haven't installed my swing yet so I am no sure. I will let you know once my swing arrives.

One More Thing with this, if you want to measure slice, hook and launch angle and so forth, buy in combination with this, the "Swing Byte II" Just the updated Swing Byte with the rubber banding. It is a great tool along with this device. The two work together to give you a TON OF INFO on your swing!!! They have both helped me tremendously. Good luck on it. Anyone who says you can't use the ES12 with multible users doesn't follow directions. They also can't read the monitor, and the third way to use it is to read the monitor after you hit it, and it will show you how far you hit it on the screen. So there are at least 3 ways to do it.

No, the swing byte focuses on the motion of the club. They do provide info on club head speed and orientation so that you can infer whether a swing would have been longer or shorter than a comparison swing and improve your distance, but they have not pretended that they can give accurate distance info with no data on ball spin. This is very honest of the company. For real ball flight info you need a track man or similar device for 10x as much money....

No it does not. You can measure the distance hit by any club, but it will not track it.

Yes you do , if you want to get updates or buy courses you need to download.You just make your swing, or adjust your swing direction using a mouse, or pad on computer

With the current version of the SwingTIP app you need to hit a real golf ball for it to register a swing. However, it will registers swings with some kinds of plastic balls that have some reasonable mass (e.g. Almost Golf balls).The next version of SwingTIP coming up in a few weeks will capture open-air swings as well as with all plastic balls.

You must impact something since it bases everything off of that to know swing path, face angle, etc. You care about those things at impact and to know when that is, the device must "feel" an impact. It can be just a foam ball which you can safely hit indoors. I am guilty is using a small stuffed animal to test mine the first time in my living room. =)

Yes the course is fully viewed and you can see important swing data after you hit the ball. Swing speed face angle etc.

No. If the ball hits the material with the 9 squares it shows a strike. I checked the mph seems to be within 2 to 3 mph.
