Latest Review:

I was able to get a hitting net and combined Shot Vision with it. It worked like a charm. It is right in line with what I am hitting on the course. Couldn’t be happier. I used my driver this time vs a loft wedge. Paid for the subscription to see how the numbers matched up to my fitting also. It all seemed accurate.

1st Review

It truly could be the future. Unfortunately I cannot get it to work after trying for over an hour, and trying multiple things. I reran thru the tutorial 4 times. Tried everything. If it worked I would pay the subscription. I do not have the patience with some one over email to get something to work. I hit over 40 chip shots and could only get 2 shots to register.

Great idea but inaccurate

Love the app as an idea but sadly the numbers didn’t add up. As a scratch player I know my numbers pretty close so was a bit shocked when wedges and 1/2 swing short irons were going 20+meters further than expected.
I’m sure with some refinement’s this app with be a great asset to all golfers of all levels but currently the numbers can’t be trusted, well I wouldn’t be on course anyway.

Another small issue was the carry being longer than total. I’m certain I don’t get 6ft off backspin on 3-4 irons.

Hopefully some fine tuning from developers can get these issues sorted and if purchase the yearly subscription without hesitation.

Hi JDC147, thanks for taking the time to write a review. Please pop us an email at support@shotvisionapp.com we’d love to hear from you. Inflated numbers from all our testing has shown that most often than not there is slight error with the setup, usually standing too close to the device is the issue. Stay as close to the 4 feet suggestion with ball position from the camera, this is a standard driver length, from the tip of the shaft to the bottom of the driver head. We hope to hear from you and all the best.

it’s a phone app what do you expect

honestly this is really good just for at home hitting and just getting consistent data, i bought a tripod for this and it made my experience 100 times better. i also brought it to my local golf shop and tested it with real launch monitors and the difference was very slim with the carry, total, ball speed, club speed were very close to it. launch angle is completely off though i was getting almost 15 degrees difference. i would 100 percent recommend this product to people that can’t go to the range every day and have a hitting place at there home.

Great App

Not sure how accurate the distances are ( I haven’t measured any real shots to compare it )but it does seem consistent. I just set it up on a paint tin and it worked straight away - all the time. I would like it to be able to delete a shot from your average ( it doesn’t update deleted shots) but I am quite impressed with how easy it is you use.
Definitely recommend it.

Hi cjhols, thanks so much for the review and awesome feedback we really appreciate it. To update your averages after deleting a shot go back to your session feed and drag down to refresh, this will allow a recalculation of your averages. All the best.

Impressive when it works, but that wasn’t often

I setup the tracker using a tripod on solid ground as recommended. I was indoors hitting into a net with solid lighting that I increased to improve the tracking results, but still struggled to find consistency in a shot being tracked, and then accuracy when it was.
When the tracker works, it’s an impressive tool and would be worth the annual subscription. The randomizer feature is a great way to work on practical golf skills.
Consistency in tracking shots was poor, working half the time and when a shot was tracked, I saw maybe 80% accuracy.
Setup FAQ and videos were instructive but more tools within the app to help diagnose tracking issues would be much more helpful in helping me address what needs to be improved to get it working as advertised.
Until I can see consistent, more accurate tracking I don’t think the annual subscription is worthwhile.

Hi Jeff Mats, trust you are well and thanks for taking the time to write a review and also for the feedback and suggestions and we can confirm that we are working on all of this and will have it out very soon. We want to help you get the best results, a few suggestions would be to place a folded golf towel under the device or tripod to minimize and possible ground vibration, vibrations causes missed or odd tracks. Also be sure to stick to the setup guidelines, the ball should always be 4 feet or as close to 4 feet away from the device. We are working on videos and tutorials and will copy the link on this post as soon as it is available. If you want to chat or get in touch please send us an email at support@shotvisionapp.com we'd love to help you. All the best

Reading distances long

I’ve setup the app as advised, the system in reading all my shot longer. Eg I hit my 7 iron on average approx 140 metres however the system keeps recording 165m plus. Some goes for other clubs, it’s usually about 20 percent more. Is there a fix for this. Eg bug or setup

Regards
Tony

Great app once set up

I started with the free trial app which was ok but only gave ball speed. Decided to buy the pro version. Tricky to set up at first but once I got the hang of it it was picking up nearly every shot. Has helped my game no end

Thank you so much for the great review and awesome feedback we really appreciate it. Remember to check out the new Randomizer challenge, great prizes up for grabs.

Set up not bad, accuracy horrible

Unlike most negative reviews I found the set-up fairly simple. I did do it outside. It tracked most of my balls. It would miss low shots.

The problem. Distance is not even close to accurate. I am a bad golfer and rarely hit my Driver more than 170. My first shot on the app 245. I averaged 215 never hitting less than 170 even on miss hits. I entered my info including my terrible Handicap. I also entered correct club angle (after I realized it was wrong initially)

I also hit a few 7 irons still way longer than I can hit that club.

Distance did decrease on a miss hit(still way too long) so something is being measured. But with my terrible swing and slow club speed no way am I hitting close to how far the app is saying.

I didn’t expect super accuracy for the price, but distance is way to far off.

Register on and off

Was registering 75% on my shots on first but on the second day to try it will not register one single shot... Same setup same light...
Not working at all ....would be amazing with the first day info I got and all the little features but not if it works and n and off like this...

Hi Dudelove 259, trust you are well and thanks for taking the time to write a review. Please can you get in touch at support@shotvisionapp.com so we can try and assist you. Unfortunately we don’t have enough from your review to try and make any suggestions. Please try putting a folded golf towel or something soft and shock absorbent under your device or tripod to minimize vibration. We hope to hear from you.

Works great!

Great concept, looking forward to what comes in the future. Works as advertised. I have a iPhone 11 not sure if that makes a difference.
