I received my ipad version of the 3Bays GSA at 9am this morning and was at the range by 10.15!
I had already downloaded the app, paired the two devices which was a doddle even for an old fool like me. When I got to the range the Pro had half hour before a lesson so we decided to check it with his Trackman equivalent . Set up in seconds we were ready to go. I had a really stiff back which stopped me playing in the week so he hit while I did the stats checking.
He confirmed that the visual display showed the correct swing path to how he hit on several shots, the swing speed were pretty close on both devices and the only thing with a difference was the distance hit, but we decided that his machine measures spin rates and that may have accounted for differences. The 3Bays showed up pretty well on swing path and whether the face was open, square or closed at impact. His several £ machine gave measurements of face angles and path where the 3bays only says, say "OPEN SQUARE CLOSED" so if you are .1 open you know that you are open but not by how much, but you do see the ball flight and the pictorial view.
A useful feature is the on the picture of the swing, from side and front it shows your swing mph as it runs, so, if you swing hard from the top and slow through impact, it should tell you.if you do, say, 20 swings with a club it will show a graph of various data such as tempo, distance hit etc. it's easy to flip through your recorded swings with a swipe of the finger on the picture display.
I hit loads of shots too when my back had eased. We put some daft swings on the club and it picked up outrageous in to outs and other bad faults quite easily. You can show the current swing over a previous "best swing" to see if your swing paths stay on track.
If you can afford one without starving the kids for a month or are a gadget freak i would thoroughly recommend it. I am very impressed with its accuracy, ease of use and feel that it will help my swing and the
Pro has asked me to get one for him so that when he's giving a lesson off the grass rather than the teaching bay, he can check what going on.
There are plenty of utube videos out there, I especially recommend checking out mark Crossfields one where he evaluates it against Trackman.
