Leave a Review ShotVision Launch Monitor
What a let down
After so much positivity from Rick and others, I was really hoping for a cheap way to tell how far I hit the ball. Instead it almost never picks up my shot, despite trying time and time again to set it up according to the video. I paid for 1 month premium, was charged, but my account is still not premium and I do not have access to anything. Not like it matters since the app doesn’t work anyways. I WANT MY MONEY BACK.

Worked properly some of the time
Tried the Pro free trial initially. Missed shots occasionally, but more often I experienced lag/misreads in the app. I would take my shot, wait for the confirmation beep, then nothing. "There's no way it didn't read that!" I said as I picked up my phone to recalibrate it, and a few seconds after I picked up my device it would beep and shout out a crazy high carry distance and shot data. I even went as far as grabbing a tape measure from my car to set up my device and range ball perfectly. Great app when it works, needs some improvement, overall a little frustrating.Show lessClsssc
Wildly Inaccurate
Needed a launch monitor to track shots and get my distance and shot shape dialed in and the range I’m close to is garbage. Since real monitors are $500-$2,000 I figured I’d give it a shot. On iOS with a subscription and this app is wildly inaccurate; it said I was hitting my sand wedge 140 yards, which is pretty close, but then my driver was only going 130??? Save yourself the frustration and just go to your driving range, no matter how bad it is.Show lessdictionaryboy
Free but Shows
For a free app this thing is nice in that it tries to do all the right things. That said it’s only useful if the data is accurate and it was not. I’d have clubs going 120 yards on the driving range that it reads at 76 yards. Driver it lands right around the 250 yard mark and it tells me 145. Wedges struggled to get picked up but that’s a flaw I can accept given the setup.
This was with their recommendations of having it a drivers distance away from the ball and 2 feet forward on a golf towel during the afternoon. It just was not accurate at all on yardage.Show lessSturdy Ghost
Works great at my range
I’ve wanted to add data to my range sessions for awhile. I need a monitor that stands ahead of the ball because there is a hill behind the hitting bays at my range. I hit outdoors using yellow range balls. Set up with a tripod was easier than I expected.
Using the app combined with AirPods and an Apple Watch is such a great experience. The distances matched the range markers and flags. The only exception was when I hit a pull shot (an issue I would like to eliminate on my own by not pulling the ball)Show lessbbarnes8
I think I figured it out…
When I go to the driving range and when I get a sunbeam to shine in between the camera and the ball, the accuracy and reading falls off. So today I went to the far end of the range were the sun doesn’t reach that area till late in the day. What. A. Difference.
My shots were 10 times more consistent and accurate. I am going to my driver fitting in a couple weeks and we are going to use the trackman and Im going to see if my numbers compare. Now I know a trackman is what it is but if ShotVision can be within the ball park I will be more than ecstatic and back in love with this app.
You have to make sure the camera is 4ft away (length of your driver) AT ALL TIMES.
When going from driver to PW, you have to make sure you adjust the length of where you place the camera relative to where your strike zone is. So either scoot it further up or back depending where you plan on striking the ball.
Also, the makers of this app over the past year have been open and receptive to any suggestions and after today I am completely satisfied.
Also, I use the new iPhone 13 Pro Max.Show lessxXRANKSXx
Developer Response
Hi xXRANKSXx, thanks for taking the time to write a review. We are always working on improving the app and adding new features, we are also looking into the possibility of implementing dispersion and will hopefully be available soon. If you ever have any other suggestions please or need any assistance whatsoever please let us know and we'll gladly assist. We wish you all the best. Shot Vision Support TeamGreat outside! Not so much indoors.
So I used this out on the driving range and it works REALLY well. One in 10 would either not register or be obviously inaccurate (apparently I can hit my pitching wedge 200+ yards). But you can go through a session and delete the miss-hits later so it won’t bog down your average too much.
However…the lowlight/indoor setting simply doesn’t work. I went so far as to put brighter bulbs in and it still was just so dark, it wouldn’t read anything. The iris on the camera closes so much -I can see through the set up that it’s just not letting in light.
If this gets fixed, I’ll be a lifetime user. It’s a FANTASTIC app…I really hope they fix the indoor setting though. Lots of potential for a real market changer for those of us who don’t want to spend $300 for a launch monitor.Show lessMkell88
Just doesn’t work…
The “how to” video in the app was totally confusing, so I googled for a better video and sure enough found the same guy better video….
1. From the golf ball placed, the phone must be 4 feet apart from it. As you walk backwards from the ball.
2. The phone should be to the left side of your lead foot and about a foot and a half wide from your lead foot.
3. Camera should be facing towards the same direction your toes are pointing when at address.
4. Adjust the elevation to what the calibration wants it as, it’ll turn green when aligned. press ok.
5. Do not move the phone after calibrating at all.
6. Realize you wasted your time because none of this works. and spend $400 on a actually golf launch monitor or wait for bridgestone to re-release there app.Show lessJay Kay 1
No tracking. No data. No good.
Maybe I’m the problem. I watched the instructional video. I actually marked out the exact dimensions mentioned in the video to make sure I had the camera in the right distance/angle to track my shots. I also have separate surface areas so that there won’t be any energy transfer obstructing the app from doing what it is supposed to do. No dice. It tracked 1 of my last 90 or so shots … The data only registered after I tapped the screen to see if it was actually working. Maybe the app is busted? Maybe I’m busted? HELP?Show lessDunbarCustom
Decent!
Tried this app and was at first not impressed but after a few sessions trying it out I finally started getting some accurate numbers. Best advice I can give is bring a tape measure, use a good tripod and you’ll start seeing more accurate numbers.
Great use of Apple Watch to change clubs once you have the device set and getting accurate readings, you can change clubs throughout your practice.
Devs - is it possible to see left/right data?
Also is it possible to use virtual mapping to help the user set up proper hit zone or notify the user when the ball is placed properly on the mat?Show lessDoss452
