Do you need to hit a ball for the analyzer to work? Or can you just swing, ie inside your living room, and and it works?

As far as I can tell from using mine you have to hit something. You might be able to fit something other than a real ball but the capture triggers on an impact. When doing practices swings I do occasional hit the ground harder and it triggers. You might be more consistent with that than I am.

You do need to hit a ball, but a light weight practice ball is good enough to make the device record the swing.

It's better if you can hit a ballwith it because you can see the ball flight to get better feedback but you can just swing if needed (and not hit the ball).

Haven't used mine yet but according to literature, you can use it with functionality without hitting a ball. By the way you can still hit a ball indoors by just using a net to prevent damage.

You just need to make contact with something (the floor, maybe a rubber tee, something like that for it to register as a hit. Although I believe if you hit the floor your numbers may be a little off. I have a little mat (like a driving range mat) with a long tee coming out of it to act as the ball and it works fine for me. Awesome little product.

You need to hit something firm. A practice ball works as well. Just swinging without hitting something won't register anything on the app. Hope this helps.

You have to hit something, but what you hit does not matter. I use foam balls indoors and it registers everything form full swings to chips. You can also simply make contact with the ground, but I have to imagine this throws off your data a bit.

You must impact something since it bases everything off of that to know swing path, face angle, etc. You care about those things at impact and to know when that is, the device must "feel" an impact. It can be just a foam ball which you can safely hit indoors. I am guilty is using a small stuffed animal to test mine the first time in my living room. =)

Remember that this device calculates distance based on ball speed and trajectory (launch angle) through the use of doppler radar. The launch angle is pre-determined by inputting tour club selection (trajectory if loft angle of thr club) so if you typically have a lower or higher ball flight, then this is not very accurate at all. In fact, no one has the same trajectory everytime they hit a ball, so my answer is no...not very accurate. I sold mine and bought a laser. I get much more use out of a laser, especially on the course. True launch monitors, like Trackman, calculate distance using true ball speed, trajectory, and spin. You cannot get feedback like that out of a $200 device.

Hi Mike, was just using mine today indoors and it worked. Picked up a strike 11 miles out, which according to radar was about right.

I would say yes for the most part. I typically use 5 balls and I bet I hit 20 to 30 times before I need to fetch them again. I hit off a mat in the garage. I'm not sure if it would return the ball through grass.

I have not used this for tennis but I would think it would work the same as baseball pitching. You press and release the button when the throwing arm is back. It then records the ball movement. From what I read it actually records multiple images and displays the fastest one. I have found it to be very easy to use and accurate.

It automatically pick the correct hole when you are n the tee. If not, you can manually pick the hole that you want to play.Don

It sort of bounces, but it really is intended just for shooting. You can use it indoors, but like anything you throw inside there's always the chance it could knock over a lamp or something. We have a rule that it's for shooting only, not throwing around the room!

It will not register anything unless the club makes contact with something. A real ball will works best and have also used wiffle balls if I take a divot. Also it will not register a swing unless you hold the club still for at least 1 second before you make the swing. I hope this helps.

Well the scoring system needs to be plugged in for it to work, and even in the instructions it specifically says not for use for outdoor purposes. But I also hear you can use batteries instead of the plug in ac adapter. Hopefully that helps good luck!

Yes, I use real balls, that's the point. Get an astroturf matt to hit off of, one that also holds a tee. You'll have to adjust so that you do not hit the frame on your follow thru. I live in downtown Charleston, SC and use this in my driveway!

I don't know. The analyzer can easily be moved to another club but the software that I have doesn't have options for differentiating the user. Swing data is uploaded to the Swingbyte website and kept in a user file for any session you want to keep. I think that you can figure a way to keep data separate in your file.

It does calculate the scores and determines the winner. It has a player change button as well and comes with an instruction guide detailing the games and how to play. I typically have played cricket and was able to determine how to get the game going without using the manual. Also very easy to hang. I recommend getting a battery operated "art" light to hang above it, so it is easier to see the board. In my space, if I had the can lights on they would illuminate the room but the board on the wall would not be adequately lit. I found one for under $20 on amazon and now dim the can lights and this works great. Love it. Hope this helps. It does calculate the scores and determines the winner.

no to swing speed. measures the ball speed and angle of the flight of the ball

You can instructions online. I would checkout other swing analyzers though.

Yes I use it indoors....I have a area with ten ft. Ceilings.... It works just fine....I use my little tablet to film my swing... love it

The one I personally own feels like it would break if I swung at air let alone hit anything with it. However there are videos on YouTube of this mastersword being put under pressure and seemed to hold up. So I guess u just have to get lucky and hope you get a good one.
