I have had one for over a year now and it's been great. The kids love it and it creates a real interest in increasing their bat speed. Excellent tool to track improvement in bat speed over time. Also excellent tool to measure impact of heavier bats on bat speed.

This is a great product with one little caveat, when you set it up, it's important to set it up the way they suggest, 8 to 10 inches from the tee at an approximate 45 degree angle to the swing path. If the swing speed radar is parallel to the swing path, you'll see a higher swing speed than the real swing speed. (it will make you feel better , but it's not accurate).

Great product. As others have said, it performs exactly as advertised. I also believe it is very accurate as the swing speed readings are virtually identical to what I've seen for my swing on a Trackman launch monitor. I'm having a lot of fun with this in the backyard, hitting wiffle balls. It gives you instant, objective feedback on what type of adjustments increase swing speed. Five stars all the way.

Seller was excellent. Radar gun is generally accurate and helpful. It does give some false readings but they are easy to discount. I may get 10 swings between 93 and 97 mph and then get one at 121 mph. Easy to toss out the anomaly.

Does exactly as it is advertised .Gives you your swing speed on a
consistent basis . Large display and adeqate battery life are also a plus . Works equally well for woods as well as irons .

A great tool for anyone wanting to increase his swing speed . I was able to increase mine fro 95 mph to over 110 mph and now am exploding those T shots .

I have a golf net set up in my garage for the winter months. I place the radar next to the tee and blast away. I can't say whether the speed it registers is exactly accurate, but I am sure that the faster I swing the higher it registers. So regardless of the absolute speed, it tells me when I am improving my swing. I went from a top speed of 86 mph to a 104 mph in about 2 weeks using this device.

One thing I've noticed is that occasionally (maybe once every 100 swings) it registers an outlandish number, 124 mph in one case. Sometimes high and sometimes low. Also, it sometimes apparently can't clock the speed, in which case it just flashes the previous speed. That happens maybe once in 20 swings. These slight flaws are nothing compared to the value it adds.

The device comes with a handy little graph to tell you how far you hit the ball based on the swing speed. One things to keep in mind (in my opinion) is that if you are using it in a 45 degree garage in New England, the speed of the club head is probably slowed down by the cold air the same as a golf ball would be. Here's a chart of carry distance per temperature.

224 95* F
222 85* F
220 75* F
216 65* F
214 55* F
205 45* F
186 35* F

That's about 7% between 45 and 75, for example. So I add 7% to the swing speed before calculating the distance.

The sensor appears to be accurate and consistent. I'm using it to try to improve my golf swing speed. I've only used it for four weeks, but it is encouraging.

i bought this out of curiosity
been using it for about 3 weeks
if u position it properly it works very well for swing speed
ive tried it for ball speed using the directions on the web site without too much luck--

so far ive figured what my best stance, grip, plane, shaft flex etc is best for my personal swing--ive also proven to myself what i already new, which is solid contact is the most important thing for a good drive

i did not get the model with the tempo timer but ive gestalted what my best tempo is

best $100 bucks ive spent in a long time--as usual amazon did a wonderful job on ordering and delivery

Tension in a golf swing is a killer of club head speed. By swinging the driver at a slower and tension free swing you will create a faster club head speed. Then you add proper body rotation to the swing, swing speed is even faster with less effort. I recommend this item for anyone who cannot afford the high cost of lessons, or in conjunction with the tutelage of a PGA instructor.

I am very pleased with the swing speed radar. Although I am a terrible golfer, I have a low swing speed.
