ive seen the swing mate being mentioned in a few threads.
$109 is the cheapest.
i dont know. when i was ****'s sporting goods they had one. i dont know if its worth buying one. i can bet my swing speed has increased because it was last measured about a year ago.
i think it would just be a cool little device to have.
I get mine done for free...use a Vector launch mnitor, way more accurate than any of the little swing stik things they sell. Go to a Golf etc., they have them there.

It wouldn't be worth it if all you want to do is measure your swing speed one time just to see what it is. However, if you work on some specific swing changes to increase distance or to see how a variety of shafts or shaft/head combinations can increase or decrease your swing speed, it's a GREAT thing to have for progressing.
Additionally, I've found over the years that if you don't know what your swing speed is often enough, there's a tendency to just get lazy and it'll start going backwards. Use it every time you're on the range and it'll be worth it.
300 yards...sometimes you just flat out don't have a clue regarding what you're talking about. The swingmate IS NOT a stick. It's a portable radar device that can be taken anywhere and IS very accurate and consistent. Is it as accurate as what you're talking about? Probably not, however, I'd bet good money it's identical to the swing speeds being read out on your unit or within a couple of miles per hour on every swing. Let's see YOU lug that thing to the range with you. Some people do more than hit indoors, you know.
Aren't RADAR GUNS used by the cops portable?? How accurate are they?
Hey 300 yards...if that's your picture in your avatar, you don't need to hit indoors and worry about a swing speed analyzer. You need to do something about "crossing the line" so bad at the top. It's going 3 counties over to the right from your foot alignment, and I don't think it's an optical illusion. Good parallel position and turn though.

Well excuse me! There are so many speed analyzers out there, I stopped looking up all of them. Those radar analyzers are pretty good though, a bit high on the price though. I thought I saw somewhere eles a little cheaper..Ebay maybe? Don't know if it was any good though. Just so you know, I do more than hit indoors. I normally plat at least 2 18 rounds per week, and sometimes a 9 holer or two. I only use the LMs, when I want to test something. Or if I want to check my angle, speed, etc.
My angle at the top wasn't off, BTW. That is my slice swing your seeing. Perhaps you should ask more questions before attempting to bash people? It's my avatar, and I'll make it anything I want.. My angle at the top is normally just a touch right for me to deliver maximum impact to the ball. I'm working on a better avatar, but that is the only one I could load for some reason. Anyway sorry I didn't meet your high "qualified" standards..
the nearby range has a vector thing, i saw it yesterday when the Cobra demo day was here.
i have 2 lessons left with the range, i might see if i can get on that vector monitor.
There is your key issue right there. Wait until there is another demo day and get on the launch monitor and they'll tell you would SS. They will do that in order to fit you for a shaft. No need for you to buy a driver, but at least you will know your swing speed.

That's your slice swing? Wow...most of the time a swing that crosses the line so much is a players HOOK swing. Now the avatar might not be as clear as it should be, but from the shaft coming into the head on the angle it's shown, it also looks like the clubface is pointing toward the sky. That position along with crossing the line would make for even more HOOK. When the shaft/club is laid off quite a bit, THAT is the position for a SLICE swing. Do you know what laying it off means?
I don't need to ask questions. You posted the picture, I made a professional observation from what was there. If you feel that you were bashed, well so be it. The position is what it is and it's pretty obvious to a trained eye. Btw, now that I've pointed it out...does it look like the line is being extremely crossed from his feet position to everyone else here?
Don't be shy in answering. 300 is tough and can take whatever comes his way.

Yep, Texas tough..and yes that is my slice swing. It works for me..my clubhead isn't pointing to the sky..It just looks kinda wierd from me shrinking it. Anyway, works for me..
BTW, Mr. PGA pro, my stance is also open...to bad your well trained eye didn't pick that up..
I am now officially putting Lead Tape on my Ignore list..

Tsk, tsk, tsk...what a sensitive touchy guy.
Waaaahhh, waaaaahhhh...
mommy, this mean guy said some things about me that hurt my feelings. I thought I had a perfect swing and was a God on a golf forum until HE bashed me. Waaaahhhhhh....
what do you guys use to measure your speed??
Linear Mode
