I tried a few White Almost Golf Balls, and the SC300 read 9 out of 10. Not sure how accurate but seemed to be within a few yards of the same swing. Just hit Wedges and 9 Irons. So the Colour definitely makes a Difference, even Father Christmas would struggle to see the Orange Balls without a Snow background. I suspect the almost Golf Balls leave the Club close to regular speed of a real Ball over the first few yards until loosing momentum due to lack of weight, without getting too technical
Hey man, I love your indoor setup! I never thought about doing that in my garage until I saw this! I am going to start my planning for my own garage setup. Thanks for this!
Those balls are not made for the swing caddy. They are designed to practice your swing and personally in my opinion they are made to use outdoors and do give almost true trajectory and flight of a ball without all the distance. They are great way to practice if you cant leave the house or pay to go to the driving range all the time. I purchased 150 of those balls and i have a blast at the hpuse trying to perfect my swing and performance on the tee and off a ruff mat as well. They will let you know if you slice or pull or even shoot straight with a draw to it. The furthest i have shot one as of today is with an 8 iron and its going every bit of 80 to 100 yards no problem on a full swing
i love this for an inexpensive launch monitor. I wish it would do club head speed with no ball. It really only likes real balls outdoors. It still helped me with all my clubs.....a lot!
Have you ever tried crossgolf balls like those from almostgolf? These are not as soft as foam balls and react more like regular golf balls. Maybe worth trying for those who want to practice indoors 😇

Hey Scott, thanks for the feedback. It took a little creativity and little luck and it works our awesomely.
Great Video!

Wonder if a lower lofted club would work better. Seems as thought the foam balls came off the wedge a lot higher than the regular balls did.
Love this man, very informational! sad they wouldn't work as well as I hoped! Can't wait for your next video!
Thanks for the idea in the first place. Was super fun to make.
Thank you for the video, I have the SC 300i and I'll give it a try with the foam balls.
Thank you for the video. Did the SC300 still get your swing speed correct, even if the range was off?
Hello. Nice video. Please try almost golf balls. The white colored balls to see if the launch monitor will collect the data. Thx
Could you do this with the Almost Golf balls? They are a lot better (IMHO) than those Callaway foam things.
Wondering if updated SC300i works better indoors and with almost golf balls

Says clearly in the sc300i manual that is does NOT function with foam balls
Can I swing with 280y driver with foam balls or I risk to brake the ball?
I wonder would yellow foam balls be picked up better, by just being brighter
Great video mate. Have you considered getting an impact screen? Would definetely take improve your setup
Thought about it, but the noise can be a issues in the location I have. Carl’s place has a decent one for affordability
What is your typical indoor practice like? Just curious, a little harder without seeing the ball
Entirely too much talking between shots. Felt like for a video of 11:30 in time 8:30 was spent on yakking.......
Hey Tim, thank you for the feedback. Each video I will work harder to delete this from my videos as I become more and more proficient.
WAYYYY too much talking between shots.
Is the color of the ball a factor? As soon as I get my hitting area set up, I will be testing out how the SC300 picks up different colored balls.
Hey Jay, I’ve used a variety of different colored balls. I have a video on them, they work the same as white colored balls.
maye the heavier wiffle ball is better for the swingcaddie
Try this with SKLZ golf balls. Hard plastic wiffle balls.
The issue is the color of the balls. Use white balls and you'll be good.
Wow its like an infomercial- bad…
