Posted October 3, 200717 yr comment_142497 This could be a cool gadget for the winter months. http://www.bs-sports.co.jp/press/2007/g090.../g0904_sep.html
October 3, 200717 yr comment_142498 Whoa....do I have that currency conversion correct?! $110US? If so, sign me up! I'll take at least one.
October 3, 200717 yr Author comment_142499 That's just the MSRP. Actual retail could be $99.95. I'll take one too.
October 3, 200717 yr comment_142506 i want one!! TSG supply these please- jsut looked at link and it looks soooooooo cool! loving the computer link up etc - I hit lots of balls into a net so would be brilliant! Edited October 3, 200717 yr by pucci
October 3, 200717 yr comment_142511 Yes, this is a good device for TSG'ers and clubho's as you just stick tape on your club head and it measures all the data i want one!!TSG supply these please- jsut looked at link and it looks soooooooo cool! loving the computer link up etc - I hit lots of balls into a net so would be brilliant!
October 3, 200717 yr comment_142514 Interested as well.. But surely we will need to trouble Gocchin to translate the owners manual. Or write a short manual on how to use this thing... What about the laptop hook up for $40??? what is that??
October 3, 200717 yr comment_142523 Damn that looks awesome! Thanks R for pointing that out. PRGR had one similar to that a long time ago but it basically just gave head speed. It is available as of late Septmember. Key features: - Club head speed/swingspeed - distance (carry + run) - club head path - 3 measurements, straight, inside out, outside in!! - retains data for 100 shots (nice range session!!) - works for lefty's! - personal computer software/usb connector to analyze your shots and data is available at an extra cost (no price listed) Man it really is a $ 100 launch monitor!! You pretty much attach the measurement magnet to the toe of your club. It can also be attached to irons and putters! Based on the measurements it calculates carry and run! Rounds to the nearest yard. For putter measurements it measures to the nearest 0.1 yards. I gotta get one too!

From trying to translate the website, it seems like it measures clubhead speed and path (straight, inside, outside), and estimates distance. I don't think it measures lauch angle and spin. But still, for ~$100 I want one.

But still, for ~$100 I want one. You are correct dkats, in my excitement I skimmed the article and read that those are key points in measuring a users swing and assumed that the science eye measures those other items... I just read it more carefully and will correct my post... those features would indeed be too good to be true!! (^_^) Even the TS pros are trying it out!
October 4, 200717 yr comment_142530 Check the website again.. I think the machine goes for 10000JPY and the software/properitary USB cable goes for 4000JPY.. The combo should be under $150USD... Definitely a fun toy to have at the driving range.. Go home and analyze your shots.. and get average swingspeeds for irons, drivers and wedges... Sounds like a useful tool to work on your swing.. Gocchin, add it to the pro shop asap!!!!
October 4, 200717 yr comment_142531 pro-supportcar has had a bunch of the pro's # up since the summer. both JLPGA and JPGA tourstage staffers. seems like most of them really get a kick out of the device.
October 4, 200717 yr comment_142532 Site lists it for 12,800 yen and open price for the Software+USB connector.

October 4, 200717 yr comment_142539 Done it's now in the proshop! that was quick! i want one as well been spending a lot of time in the range would be a treat to get actual feedback on how im swinging on a partiuclar day of the week etc.
October 4, 200717 yr comment_142540 that was quick!i want one as well been spending a lot of time in the range would be a treat to get actual feedback on how im swinging on a partiuclar day of the week etc. It's worth getting I think, if anything just for fun. Anyone who likes gadgets should get one. I know Chris and I both are. (^_^)
October 4, 200717 yr comment_142541 It's worth getting I think, if anything just for fun. Anyone who likes gadgets should get one. I know Chris and I both are. (^_^) il wait for a couple of guys to give feedback before i decide to unload. anyway il most likely shell out on a decent rangefinder before getting this one.
October 4, 200717 yr comment_142549 I'm about to grab one of these, but I'm a little concerned about how the magnetic sensor attached to the club.... I assume you have to 'stick' the sensor to the club---what happens when you want to remove it? Will it stick to another club or is that it? When you go through the 5 sensors, is that it? Does the Japanese portion of the ad address any this? Otherwise, I gotta have one.
October 4, 200717 yr comment_142550 Hi L, Yes you can buy refill packs. 10 Magnet Sensors is about $7.
October 4, 200717 yr comment_142554 The only problem I see is thst the software and user interface will be in Japanese. It looks like that from the screen shot. Perhaps they have choice of either english or Japanese.
