Since this eval was done there have been several firmware and software updates - probably should be redone or noted in the intro. Second have you ever thought of running GSPro along side and include a wind factor to compare with your live spotting - that would be interesting to see for any LM.
Good ideas. We could include something in the description, but wouldn't be able to go back and edit this particular upload sadly. We will certainly keep these ideas in mind for future videos, though! Thanks!
Thanks for this. We all know that things like the wind, how flat the ground is etc will impact these results but its a good test. One test that would be interesting would be to test different devices against each other at the same time (like garmin v. Mini). Either way, appreciate the effort - the test looked fun
Appreciate the kind words! We do the best with the cards we're dealt! And we do have some launch monitor comparisons as part of our channel, but also have more on the docket!
This video is perfect for the average golfer. Hard to really see how the device will work in real life when a pro player is hitting laser beams over and over. As a below average golfer myself, I find this video very useful.
How is that a test of accuracy the launch monitor is closed data, the range is affected by wind, temperature, altitude, the possible slope of the land, far too many variables for that to be a fair test
We know it's not a perfect test. If we had access to an indoor facility with a 300+ yard range and a robot player, we would of course use that. But we don't, so we do our best, and make sure to call out the variables.
I really like all of your comparison videos! One thing I find maybe misleading is taking the negative and positive differences and totaling them for an average. If I have a unit measure 25 yards long then -25 short you have it averaging 0 yards off, while it’s really 25 yards off both shots.
@@grindano Thanks for the kind words! I believe the issue you brought up is why we use the absolute difference column. Whether a shot is 25 yards long or 25 yards short, our percentage difference column is based off the absolute value of that number. So to get the percent difference, it would be 25 divided by the real life carry distance, and both numbers would come out the same based on using the absolute value. Hope that makes sense!

Thank you! Appreciate the kind words and glad you found it useful!
Love the video guys!
Thanks! 😁
Mike is the type of guy to sneak his own bucket of balls to the driving range so he can trade up for some nice range balls.

Can you change all that stuff In the program like the SkyTrak range?

@@2007wppu We did look for a spot to change weather and could not find it!

Next time wear helmets! Safety first 😂
Ha! Maybe full football pads!
