R-Motion Golf 4+

The product itself is well made and everything it offers for the price is fantastic. With that being said, the software itself is wildly inaccurate. The main sell of the product aside from the simulation is the ability to track club path, face angle, and club speed. The issue is with the calibration of the sensor.

In an ideal world the software would have a calibration setting which would compensate for any rotational offset between the club face at square and the sensor. The system would then be able to tell when a player is taking a shot with an open or closed club face at address. When calibrated the sensor would also know the standard shaft plane so that when a specialty shot is played using a different shaft lean, the system could understand and represent that with data.

At bare minimum, this system needs to be able to calibrate such that it knows what “square” is at address.

Until that happens, I wouldn’t recommend this product for any kind of game improvement investment. For now it’s just a neat toy.

Ball flight, path, angle, distance, etc. are wildly different than what my eye and Toptracer at my local range tell me. But this is an inexpensive device that is installed by amateurs and I expect that. The real issue is if this adequate for a home simulator. I assume it probably is.

The real issue I have is the “tempo” part. It provides only whole numbers. There is a big difference between 2:1 and 3:1. I jump a lot between the two; which means I might be all the way from 1.5:1 to 3.4:1, or maybe just 2.4:1 to 2.5:1. Tempo is the only statistic that I know this device can read 100% correctly, but I receive an almost useless number.

Received my Rapsodo r motion and seems the yardages are off sometimes! I mean it tells me I hit an 8 iron 235 yards. The driver accuracy is also a bit off. I notice that after each shot if you remove the sensor on the clip and push it back in , it helps get better results, still the yardage is off sometimes but on a good note. Give me an extra 10-50 yards over :). Overall the concept is much better spending $5k and the TGC pc app is way more accurate. I use that more than anything. Product is probably worth $99 at best. $200 bucks and only came with 1 clip...no bueno!!
