Only just saw this (for some reasons, I was default to only reviews in the last day to show). I tried the swingbyte 2 and whilst it gave lots of good info, I felt it was just way too unreliable. The 3baysGSA didnt really come into my options because of various online reviews I read. I may check it out some other time (and I see that there is an android version too).

Just picked up a used unit and I have a couple of questions:

How long does it take to charge
How long does it last when fully charged
Is there anyway of see how much life is left in it.

I've gone online to the three bays site but there is nothing in the q&a and their online manuals are down at the moment

Thanks in advance

Good too Baz and the new app download allows you video the swing too.

Ok chris a little more detail

Found online that it takes around 2-3 hours to charge and once charged last approx two hours, just need to know what colour it is when charging and what colour it goes when charged

I havnt had to charge mine overly much but I use a phone charger we have at work and it seems to do it in no time. 2 hours use is quite some time, unless you're spending 3 months at the range with James! If it's red when charging it goes blue or it's the other way round!

We'll that has to be the most simplest gadget in the world to set up, all configured and a quick 1/2 swing clearly shows when swinging a pitching wedge in my front from I drop in low and swing out low to clearly avoid the living room light, in to in swing maybe, but pretty clear and works very very quickly.

Looking forward to tomorrow's range session now with tablet on charge and ready to go. Full report back tomorrow.

Big thanks to ger147 from an easy quick transaction.:thup:

So whats the feedback on the gadget??

We'll I'm just back froM the range and I've got to say I'm big fan of this item, in a very short time it confirmed that my fault is one of two things, I'm either leaning into/throwing my right shoulder at the top of the swing, or I'm unloading slightly at the top(releasing early) which is allowing the club to get outside on the way down, I've got a lesson tomorrow so I'm interested to see what he tells me it is.

With regards to accuracy, I reckon distance wise it's pretty bang on

9i - club speed 82mph, ball speed 106mph, carry 145
8i - club speed 83mpg, ball speed 112mph, carry 154
6i - club speed 86mph, ball speed 121mph, carry 172
4i - club speed 87mph, ball speed 126mph, carry 187
3w - club speed 93mph, ball speed 135mph, carry 207

Regarding the other info, if I dropped one from the inside for a big push, or threw it over the top for a pull the gadget was always spot on, with face angle all reporting what it should from the shot shape.

There are a few things I need to look into:

All shots showed 0% consistency! which is a bit weird as I hit 3 8i all within a metre of each other , all at 82mph, and all 154 yards, one after each other yet 0% consistency ... :whistle:

The tempo(down), this seemed pretty consistent around 2:8:1' which related too:
Back swing - o.74 seconds
Down swing - o.27 seconds

This is all well and good but what does this actually related to?

The fact the unit stores each session on your tablet is awesome, it record the swing which is great and you can go back and look at every swing with each club from front on or Dtl which is great, but it doesn't allow you to see the info length, tempo, swing speed etc for that swing, which is a bit of a shame.

I used the item on full charge and with 100 balls plus practice swings the unit lasted approx 90 mins with solid use before going to yellow on the battery indicator meaning it was going low, how much longer it would have lasted I'm not sure.

I actually think the 3bays helps with range sessions as your not just machine gunning every shot, you look for feed back after each shot so it's more constructive structured practice.

Do I feel its value for money, without a doubt as I can now gap my clubs correctly.
Do I feel the info is needed, tempo maybe not but that's because you have nothing to relate this info too,
All the other info is well ended, impact force, club head speed etc.

I'm chuffed,

I'm going to play around next time with shafts to see if this effect face angles at impact, club head speeds etc.:thup:

I think the consistency may have to work with a " best swing" recorded.

When I look at previous swings I get all the swing data for each one as well

The tempo is just the relationship of backswing to downswing, mine is always about 3:1 it just shows whether you are swinging at the same back/down speeds as before or possibly rushing the swing
