I had a student show up with one and had my Flight Scope X3 side by side for comparison and the club speed was pretty similar and ball speed was similar. When shots were hit from a tee distance was ok but off the turf it had lots of misreads. Also the launch angle was wacky as you could see from his 23* launch with driver that looked more in the range of 13-15. All in all for the price not bad.
Excellent review! I was on the fence about what launch monitor to purchase. Your review helped me make my decision. I purchased a SC300, it is an excellent device and has helped me to improve my golf game.
This is a great review and I'm a big fan of Matt's review style. I'm debating between the SC300 and the Flightscope Mevo. Both units come in at approximately the same price point ($500) and I like the fact that with the SC300 I don't have to keep pulling my phone out to look at my number. Keep up the great work Matt!
Great review. Bought sc300 and loved it. Hit 50 balls at range and confident it read 45 of them really accurately. Other 5 nothing to worry about. Overall will make the range alot more interesting. I made a little stand so its same level as the mat. The app is really easy to use and knowing the spin rate and launch angle already has me tinkering with driver adjustments.
@@RAFA13D hi sorry for the late reply. I just got some 3 or 4 mm wood cut just bigger than the SC300. I then used 4 x 40 or 50mm bolts and nuts as the legs. Beauty of this was as its nuts and bolts the height was adjustable! Sorry about not giving exact sizes its because I sold it to buy a new driver so I cant remember 🤦♂️
I've had mine for about a year. Going to use it for the first time this week. The "Carry" and "Total" can be change on the display by pressing and holding the "Distance" button (3rd from the left). The issue I have is that to use the app, you must turn on BT and connect to WiFi. I suspect they are tracking the location and useage of the device without notifying us. There should be no need to log on to a WiFi network. Don't expect the peformance to be on par with a $20,000 tracker.
You earned a new Sub and bell ringer. Nice review, I've been had this thing in my Amazon shopping cart for a week trying to decide if I wanted to pull the trigger on it or the SC200 and your review really helped.
Good review, thanks. I just purchased the SC300 and looking forward to trying it this weekend. The spin rate and smash factor will be useful data for practice.
Will be looking to buy one of these when I can but it's tough to get hold of good products in NZ. I have the swing caddie SC100 and while it measures the ball speed well, it seems to always give me a smash factor close to 1.50 and I somehow doubt i'm that good.
Oh shoot this is sweet!! I was wondering if tech like this would happen; has all those BEAUTIFUL stats and realistic price. Love how small it is, looks like they nailed it - will be interesting to see more of what market thinks Great Review!!
Great vid man. Shame it cant give us data on swing path and face to path but the swing speed, carry distance and spin rate are great. Perfect for practice and for a pre-comp warm up to see what you are bringing to the course that day.
Saw your promotion on SC300, bought on... Neither I got thrilled receiving the product... It wouldnt work here either... expecting a new one... Got my SC300 a week ago - all connects but no result regardless distance between ball and SC300, neither does the upgrade firmware function - fails after 32 - 92 %, tested 6 times. Send claim to both UK dealer and Swing Caddie in US for action... Glad you got your issue fixed next day, don´t have 30.000 followers, so use yours... let you know when this is settled - Gunnar in Sweden...
Great video, I really appreciate you taking the time to get this info posted. I just want to ask if there is a procedure or capability on this device to re calibrate. It seems that the numbers for your drives are a bit overstated. I'm assuming 103 mph swing speed is actually club head speed, and if so that's not going to get you 278 yards of carry. Not trying to be a hard ass, but maximizing that club head speed is going to be closer to 245 to 250 carry, depending on smash factor, temp and the elevation where you are playing. I'm really interested in this device so any input you might have on this is again greatly appreciated.
everything seemed pretty accurate, although launch angle around 20 degrees with driver? Don't know if thats normal to you, seems high, just wanted to know if you think thats accurate as it wasn't addressed in the vid. Great content though, thanks!
Voice Caddie has updated their App and the with the new version you no longer get spin rate or total distance. I called their support and they removed those features as they were inaccurate. They are working to fix the issues but don't have a timeline. I just returned one I bought as without those features this is not much of an upgrade from the SC200
I don't understand why everyone saying this is so accurate I swing my 8 iron and in turn on the readings are saying 85 miles an hour and then I'll hit a few at a 100 miles an hour in a row so I'm like wow you're super fast this is awesome... But then like magic it's gone back to the 86 miles an hour
Great review Matt! Do you get accurate numbers hitting into a net... or have you found that it works better on an actual range? Thanks for everything you do. I love your approach to the game!
Sc300 double the price of sc200 but adds little. Only peak height or apex and a phone app. Highly recommend the sc200 which I use all the time on the range to dial in
What if you hit into a practice net can this thing project what would have happened? I’m just wondering where all of it’s calculation takes place...it may be on contact or right after? Just curious. Great review...thanks
I don't care if it does MORE things, I would only get it if it is more reliable than SC200. Any sense of that? Hard to test that by eyeballing distance on the range.
Thank you very much Matt for making this awesome review. Btw, the SC300 only records in yardage? Can the distance metric be switched to meters? How long can the battery lasts?
Great video and I think I want one of these. But the range at my club is short so the range balls have reduced pressure and only fly around 75% of a normal golf ball.Does the SC300 measure actual distance? Or does it measure the swing speed, quality of contact, etc. and then make adjustments and give a ProV1 equivalent?
Does the SC300 works properly, too, if you would hit only balls from a shelter box at the range? Because the lighting conditions are very different starting by shadow to full brightness of sun light?
So remind me please. This unit uses an algorithm based upon ball speed and launch angle to make its determinations versus a gps device correct? What is the difference between the 200 and 300 models? Thanks.
Love to see comparison of numbers between hogan swing and your other lessons after hand heals. Which swing method worked best and how did ayers most powerful move compare with hogan...you sure looked good watching your hogan swing a year and ahalf ago...and martin ayers also...i gotta get this gadget cause i would rather hit shags than play but i cannot really discern different swing method and if i am improving and why...whats a better investment custom set of top clubs or this and good net and mats...i am finding not much diference in clubs over last 16 years and i try many sets each year but never custom fitted by expert...do not care anymore about impressing others..just want what works no matter age or looks...thats what she said😂😂😂
Great review! Any idea how much room you’d need between you and a net for it to register shots? Assuming you don’t need any metallic dots on balls? Thanks!
I've read that he SC200 had problems reading high ball speed / club head speeds with driver. Under reading significantly if you're swinging over 110mph or so. Anyone know if this is improved in the new version?
I have SC200 and based on the technology it uses it measures the speed of the ball using doppler radar right after the launch so depending on the ball you use it detects the estimate distance. I also use it with "almost golf balls" at home using my hitting net and it works great like a real ball :)
@@URAZKIVANER Are you satisfied with your SC 200? I think it's a piece of garbage. Check out the review of this unit by Rick Shields. th-cam.com/video/vOoipRcGV3w/w-d-xo.html
Purchased the SC 300I set up everything however the unit does not provide feedback. All other info displayed,volume ,select mode .Remote synced. The unit screen does not go dark or blank when trying to turn off .Would you share the support phone number you used Greatly appreciated Thank you
I’m mostly interested in the carry yardage. Is it accurate with range balls and will it take into consideration any potential elevation changes at the range?
I have an SC300. Range balls aren't consistent. Some are good brand balls, some are dedicated range balls that are "crippled" for distance so that you can't hit them beyond the fence. There's no adjustment for elevation.
What driver and shaft do you use buddy out of interest my irons are on point with your numbers but I'm only getting 230-240 on driver so it got me thinking 😃 im 101-104mph with the driver
My best guess is you’re probably hitting slightly down on your driver. I hit my irons farther than this guy (7 iron carry is about 170-175) but my driver only carries about 255-260 cause I hit about 2 degrees down on on the ball. I’m trying to hit up on it cause I’ve heard that can give almost 20 yards more of distance
Very nice tool to help home your game in. The launch numbers on your drive seemed high though, no? It said you were launching at close to 24 degrees, is that accurate?
Problem is the upgrade from the sc200 is not worth the money difference. The sc200 is plenty good enough and great value. If they had included or enabled spin rate it would be different.
It has spin rate in the app... Everything you want in a launch monitor but I agree, spin rate should have been placed on the front screen of the unit and not hidden away in the app
Great review man. I like your content. Everything seemed pretty legit until the driver. I don’t see how 103mph swing speed could carry 275-280 unless you’re at altitude.
@@MrShortGame not sure about that....approx 2.5 yards carry per mph and around 2.7 yards total distance in anything i have seen, with optimal launch and spin.....275 to 280 carry looks hot to me....
I was wondering if the device would give you readings when hitting golf balls into a net in the backyard or do you need to be at a driving range. Thanks!
Net works great. But you need to be at least 15 feet away from the net to get a more accurate reading. Wedges not the best into the net. Driver - 8 iron works awesome.
I like how people say that they want more people to become golfers, but the good training devices that give you good feedback to help you in the game is so expensive that only a very few can afford. even some of the good golf courses that you would love to play are so damn expensive.

Good question.
Yeah it did seem a bit high but the yardage was pretty accurate.
Would bet its because now that the ball is on a tee its not the exact height as the SC and that's where the extra few degrees are coming from
You can change the carry/distance on the device as well as with the remote.

Matt what is the spin rate for a short iron shot to the green when the ball backs up? Thanks for the insight about swing caddy
I have the smaller swing caddie it does the same thing for 200 dollars very accurate also.
Hi, thanks for the review - do you know if it works well indoors. Does the light affect it's performance?
I really like your swing. It has a really free motion look.

Could you make Comparison videos with other launch monitors next? I.e Mevo, then trackman etc
Just bought this using your code
Bought a swing caddie sc300 had it for 2 weeks it was fantastic and now it wont turn on or charge up.. has anyone had this issue ?? HELP NEEDED
What if you hit into a practice net can this thing project what would have happened? I’m just wondering where all of it’s calculation takes place...it may be on contact or right after? Just curious. Great review...thanks

I don't care if it does MORE things, I would only get it if it is more reliable than SC200. Any sense of that? Hard to test that by eyeballing distance on the range.
How does this compare to the Garmin G80 launch monitor portion.
Thank you very much Matt for making this awesome review. Btw, the SC300 only records in yardage? Can the distance metric be switched to meters? How long can the battery lasts?
Yes meters or yards
The sc300 battery will last for 4 hours, then the backup battery will last for another 4 hours, total of 8 hours.
It should only be able to go up to 1.49 or 1.50 on a perfect strike with ball speed and clubhead speed
chance melo Justin Thomas has a smash factor of 1.52, followed by Dustin Johnson at 1.51... just saying, but I agree 1.55 is not happening

Does the SC300 works properly, too, if you would hit only balls from a shelter box at the range? Because the lighting conditions are very different starting by shadow to full brightness of sun light?
I hit range balls 15-20 yards shorter than normal balls. Will SC300 reflect the distance from the range balls or normal balls?
This is 379 at Costco now. Just a heads up :)

Dear Matt, im from Vietnam and i would like to buy 1 swing caddie SC300. Cam you please advise how much does it cost and where i can order it? Thanks
Hi do you prefer the Mevo or the sc300 or vice versa? why? Im going to buy one of the 2 soon.
I am also curious if this will work hitting into a net.
Nice thank you for that
Has anyone figured out how to use camera with this unit?
Would the carry change if you were using good balls instead of range balls? How does it know?
It would. I used some Volvik balls on a few swings and they definitely went farther.
It would due to higher ball speed computed measurements
I have SC200 and based on the technology it uses it measures the speed of the ball using doppler radar right after the launch so depending on the ball you use it detects the estimate distance. I also use it with "almost golf balls" at home using my hitting net and it works great like a real ball :)

Problem with these is if your hitting range balls, not accurate compared to game balls....

Fun review to watch
I’m mostly interested in the carry yardage. Is it accurate with range balls and will it take into consideration any potential elevation changes at the range?
I have an SC300. Range balls aren't consistent. Some are good brand balls, some are dedicated range balls that are "crippled" for distance so that you can't hit them beyond the fence. There's no adjustment for elevation.
