Voice Caddie Swing Caddie SC300 Portable Golf Launch Monitor (2019)

Product Information

It also allows you to switch modes, change display preferences, adjust volume, and adjust other metrics like switching from total distance to carry distance. That way, I have the data afterward, but I can simply use the screen for my information while I’m practicing. Final Thoughts on the Swing Caddie SC300i Launch Monitor One of the biggest differences between this device and others is that you can see your integrated data on the screen – no app required. While it does have an app (which we’ll cover next), it’s not necessary to use. So if you don’t fancy yourself a tech person or go to the course to disconnect after a business day, your launch monitor won’t make you get on your phone. The fact it is the same company, but using different names (with two different apps) is a bit confusing.

The SC300 was almost as accurate with launch angle. It captured many shots perfectly, though there were occasional shots that were significantly off. When it comes to club head speed, there was significant variance between the GC2 and the SC300, but this was not entirely unexpected. Different launch monitors – even at the professional level – can give different readings because they measure the club speed at different points in the swing. If you are looking for a quality net to go along with the Swing Caddie SC300, we recommend reading our Spornia SPG-7 review. Is The SC300 Accurate? If you hook it up to the app, you’re also able to get spin rate, which seemed to be in the ballpark most of the time as well. It’s definitely more stripped down and a little rougher around the edges than products from Garmin or Flightscope whose devices rely entirely on using the app.And if you prefer, you can use the voice output for distance as well. The SC300 also has a voice output of distance and remote control that provides the highest levels of user convenience. This is a big perk over the SC200 model. Forgive me for the brevity. I value simplicity in all things golf - whether I'm talking about strategy or technology products. And simplicity is why Swing Caddie continues to be one of the leaders in launch monitors.

I’ve found most of the time it’s more accurate than that, but in each practice session I’ve had, there have certainly been some outliers where I said “ooh, I definitely didn’t hit it that far.” The person who doesn’t want to spend their whole practice session in an app, and is mostly looking to get some general data to make their practice sessions more enjoyable and productive.Remember, too much spin with a driver means not as much roll out, leaving you a longer approach shot. And too much spin with irons and wedges means less distance and accuracy, especially if you’re playing in the wind. The SC300 comes with a remote control which makes many features easier to use. You can switch from driver to sand wedge in just one touch instead of cycling through every club with the on-unit buttons. That said, the range on the remote control is limited, and it needs to be pointed directly at the SC300.

I originally had the previous model (SC200) for a few weeks before reading this model was coming out. I love the SC200 and the features it had on there (Practice, Target and Random) modes. I though this device was also fairly accurate when the ball was hit well.The largest improvement I saw on the Swing Caddie SC300i is with launch angle. The previous model had numbers that were as much as 15-20% different than SkyTrak. Here are the launch angle measurements I recorded: I tested the SC300I against a Foresight GC2 both indoors and outdoors with a variety of different golf balls and every club in my bag. Across the board, the accuracy of the SC300i was even more impressive than the SC300. For a fraction of the price of a professional grade launch monitor, the SC300i gives you excellent data that can help you improve your game.
