### 1/5 — Not accurate

*2026-08-21, version 3.2.6*

Not very accurate on hitting distance. I placed a ball on the matt and hit, ball went straight and about 180 yards and simulator said i hit it 90 yards. Would not recommend this is a waste of money

### 1/5 — Horrible tracking

*2026-08-12*

Doesn’t track good at all, I swing and it doesn’t work, ball go negative yards. Waste of money!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-08-06*

Can never register a swing even when it says it is all good to go and everything should be fine. Waste of money

### 3/5 — Very fun but hard to set up

*2026-08-06*

It took me two hours to set up the help bot was not that helpful I did end up finding some YouTube videos to help and once it was set up it would only work in the practice mode the driving range and courses were not working and I couldn’t find anything to help that with the help bot

### 1/5 — Straight up Robbing people

*2026-07-31, version 3.2.6*

The title says it all. You morons are gonna be out of business and forced by the court system to pay back everyone you’re robbing. Complete scam and there’s zero way you can prove otherwise. Not even close to being a real thing just a complete “gotcha” scam

### 1/5 — Not good

*2026-07-29*

Constant crashing, no sound, does not detect mat, I am outside and it said not enough light, I can’t make it through one round without it crashing and it didn’t save my training swings to unlock data, and when I created a ticket no one got got back to me to support this issue, can’t play it doesn’t work, super disappointing

### 1/5 — Hot garbage

*2026-07-23, version 3.2.5*

This is a terrible product registered one of my swings I took about 50 and it wasn’t even what the mat showed save your money on this trash

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-07-12, version 3.2.4*

Send it back!!!  Don’t waste your time.

### 2/5 — Low execution

*2026-07-11, version 3.2.4*

Concept was cool for sure. My wife bought this for me for Father’s Day. I tried it out with both kids and her anticipating me having the time of my life. But after a couple of swings and glitches we went back inside. And my wife looked sad, so I acted like I loved it, she shoulda got cologne or socks instead .

### 4/5 — Just a suggestion

*2026-07-06, version 3.2.3*

Can yall do more courses and maybe replicas of professional ones
