Do Not Buy

Saw this product on Instagram and thought it might be cool to give it a shot. I’m a big golfer and a fun simulator is a great idea even if it’s not a top of the line one. Honestly, I couldn’t regret purchasing this product more. It was difficult to set up and the technology simply doesn’t work. I’ve tried to get a hold of their support team and haven’t received a response after four additional follow up emails over a two week period. It’s shocking that I actually paid money for this product and that I most likely won’t get back. Please don’t make the same mistake that I did. Avoid this product at all costs.

Poor Excuse for a Simulator

As title says, the app doesn't work half the time. Get stuck in signing in screen. When it does work, it's not a simulator. There is 0 accuracy to it. You can kick the mat and leave a divot with your foot and it'll read as a good shot. There's no multiplayer, only 1 map, and multiple other functions the company claims are all false. Don't waste your money like I did!

Meh

Mat is good, seems fairly durable. The app itself is the problem. You only have (as of now) a choice of 8i, 9i, PW, SW. I played one hole which said it was 56 yards… for the entire hole. Too many errors on swings, takes too long to load when you finally get one to process. Overall, 2/10. Save your money.

Waste of Money

Purchased the golf daddy 6 months ago. Such an absolute sham - the app, even after some updates, consistently does not track swings. When it does “track” a swing, it is horribly inaccurate. Truly hope people do not buy this until there’s some serious updates to this tech. Very disappointing.

Great idea poor follow thru

Great idea for a cheap golf simulator! The app works 20% of the time and when it’s working only half the features are usually available. It will stop randomly, not accept voice commands, and will “process” your swing for long periods of time to just give you an error. If you want this product, I’d say wait until the app is fully done before purchasing.

Horrible Product

I got this product for my birthday. The app is horrible took me about 20 minutes to get logged in as it kept telling me there was an error. I deleted the app and reinstalled it thinking it was a bad down load. While I did that, I started getting all the log in codes that I did not get in the initial set up. I finally got logged in and tried to set up the initial stance and mat. The problem I had was the tripod legs kept folding up and twice with my phone falling on to the garage floor. Once I was able to tape the legs so they would keep the stand standing the app would record my swing but not show me anything else. The voice commands do not work and I was never able to actually play a single hole or practice. So frustrating. I will try one more time with the hope there is a glitch in their system, if it does not work or possibly break my phone I will be sending it back. I can only imagine their return policy.

Improvements needed

The app is very buggy and in general not very user friendly. You get what you pay for I guess. The app is pretty much unusable.

Not even good product

I applause your great idea. Golf simulator on your phone.
It is not same as advertisement.
App feature was so disappointed.
Set up exactly same as you explain. Accuracy was not reached what I expected. I didn't expect that super accuracy but this was so bad.

App Is Trash

Unfortunately the app is trash. The concept is awesome. But the app. Well trash. Even after the “new update” it’s still trash. Only one course to play. The swing sync is not accurate. Yardage is off. Probably could invest a little more money and time and invest in a real launch monitor.

0 stars

Absolutely horrible user experience. It’s basically just a glorified swing path mat. The app crashes constantly. You need a a ton of room to move the camera so far away you can’t even see your phone anymore. You can’t chromecast it. You can’t play 2 player. The shots are WILDLY inconsistent and horribly inaccurate. It gives you 30 seconds to set up the mat where it needs to be before it goes into the game, so you have to exit out and restart as many times as it takes to get it where it should be. There’s only one golf course. It restricts club use if you’re on a par four and forces you to lay up at 189 yards. The voice commands hardly work, and you have approximately 3-5 seconds to swing after the non-audible countdown. I don’t think they could have done a worse job with this product. I will be returning this 100%. They should work with GolfFix and use their swing analytics and make this an actually usable product. For now, it’s just another gimmick for the kids.
