You could blame the actual phone and the lausy BT-tech for the initial connection... My most expensive to date is the worst for reconnecting to lost connections of BT headphones... a Samsuck S22 (You have some kind of S21-23). By far worst of the +15 phones used. ;P
I have this Game Proofer as well and my distance was way off the first 5 throws. Had me logging 600+ foot throws with 91mph arm speed. I ordered the Tech Disc and am waiting on it. When I run GameProofer now for distance I also run UDisc for distance and now they are matching closer. I was bummed to see that throwing at a net required 35feet away. I only find my GameProofer good for field shots but you have to travel more to get your readings because it’s on one disc. Good review but I’ll do a review on both after my Tech Disc comes in.
I am fascinated by the nifty disc golf stuff out there, although as a guy whose cart is a yard sale jogger stroller and who buys only used discs, I would probably never get one of these. But I’m all for tools that players can use to improve their game.
@harleybk3 Keep your ear to the ground in your club too. There's always some techy like me who's going on and about their new tech. They could be willing to do a "Baseline Day" where they set up a net and let everyone try so they can get a baseline for their speed and angles.
@@greybearddiscgolf Excellent point. Even if I just mention it in casual conversation I might find someone who has one and is willing to let me give it a go.
I've had bad luck with my GameProofer throwing into a net. They say it can go as low as 10 feet now, but it seems to be very finicky. I'd love to see you compare it with the Tech Disc with you meet up with your friend.
I saw him at a clinic I went to a couple of days ago, and he had the Tech Disc with him. He was letting people throw it into the net. We were very close, like my release was no more than 5 feet from the net, and we were getting good readings for everything. There was an app update and a firmware update for my GameProofer yesterday, so I think I will film an update today. Throwing into the net and out in the field. Keep an eye on the channel!
If the next update is nothing something big, including nose angle, this will be a bust. Mine is already collecting dust because of how many mis throws.
After the recent update it was much more accurate. My next video on this I think will be testing with my left hand and comparing distance accuracy to my rangefinder and UDisc measured throws.
that first throw was a crush :) i do like that you can change it over to different discs. i probably would for the pricepoint, hopefully they keep up with R&D

I don’t realize this had both arm speed and disc speed. That’s interesting.
Can’t wait to do a comparison with my TechDisc with you!

I just posted a comparison video with my buddy who has the TechDisc - th-cam.com/video/fAqrdxbF5jo/w-d-xo.html.

I'd be very curious to see what you think of the TechDisc in comparison, I'm currently debating between the two on which one to purchase.
Check out the comparison I just posted with my buddy Craig and his TechDisc: th-cam.com/video/fAqrdxbF5jo/w-d-xo.html

The re-mounting kit is like $12.99 plus shipping, so it would be worth it to get 2 or 3 at a time. I thought that was a pretty reasonable price.
