    I have a swingbyte.

    Whilst the data it gives is great, and the app is pretty intuitive, the device itself is not great in terms of actually keeping it attached to the club.

    I find that it comes loose quite regularly, so it can be a bit of a pain.

    I've not tried any of the others out, so can't comment on them

    Thanks for feedback. Do you find it useful to help you correct
    swing errors while practising ?

    I've generally used it most when I was working through swing changes. It was a good way to track before 7 after patterns.

    For example I had a fairly sizeable OTT movement & was trying to get more in to out.

    Also trying to look at AOA on Driver to try move from a very downward to more neutral/upward

    I was able to get solid numbers from the swingbyte to show that the changes I was making were showing a difference in my numbers.

    Haven't been using it a lot lately, as I haven't been putting any real work into my swing to be honest

    Hi,
    I had a PIQ until I lost it, not on the course, misplaced the glove and with it the PIQ robot.

    Pretty decent swing info and relatively simple to use. Has the benefits of tracking your shots on course and works as a gps rangefinder together with your phone.

    Since I have a skypro, tonnes of information about everything and putter swing but reckon it is nearly too much. Has some good features for practicing particular aspects of the swing.

    I just got the Zepp and I was very happy. The main thing it highlighted wrong with my swing was tempo and my rotation was at 290 degrees instead of 270 which meant I was losing a lot of control. I started slowing down my take away to get the tempo closer to 3:1 and its solved both problems.

    Not sure of its value long term but its helped me in the few weeks I've had it. The swing rating can be deceiving because it only measures a few things and you can get a good rating from a shot with a poor outcome.

    It has some nice features like course mode where it stores swings over the round and there are plenty of lessons in the app. I'm a high handicapped though so might be getting more out of it than a good player would.
