Does the Swingbyte 2 calculate distance ball goes?

No..this was wasted money never got it 2 work n i spent weeks emailing the people that made the thing and they gave me a ton of things to try but none worked..the light was on but it would only record 5 out a 100 swings and thoe wouldnt show up until the next day..its not strong enough to connect to the bluetooth on my phone, which is an android...DONT BUY THIS ITEM

Not at this time, it does give swing speed. As i understand, that is an item that is requested for the future, but really swing speed is all you need. Distance is a more complicated function, spin rates, lofts, center of hit, etc.

No, the swing byte focuses on the motion of the club. They do provide info on club head speed and orientation so that you can infer whether a swing would have been longer or shorter than a comparison swing and improve your distance, but they have not pretended that they can give accurate distance info with no data on ball spin. This is very honest of the company. For real ball flight info you need a track man or similar device for 10x as much money....

Hi Ronnie G, no it doesn't at this stage but apparently with the inclusion of synhcronised video they will be able to do it at some stage but the metrics are very difficult to work out, as for the synchronised video it is still in development. I am helping test a beta version at the moment but their updates seem to have come to a stand-still large problems so far.

I returned my Swingbyte as the method they use to secure it to the golf shaft doesn't keep it for slipping and twisting basically making the results invalid.

I've only used it twice. Both times within a foot of device. Not sure the distance.

I'm not sureof the answer but I for sure want to test it to be sure of distance. I tested it. It seemed to work ok. There is a date on it when u get it.

The swing away option is not included. You will need to add it for an additional charge.

No, it does not keep score or keep your stats on a computer. It will tell you how far you have traveled and how far it is to the green or to hazards on the golf course as well as time and date info.

Yes it does. It shows the distance to the front of the hazard and the distance over the hazard. I love my GPS Golf Watch. It also shows distance to front, middle and back of greens.

That would be a technical that you should address to the manufacturer. I can tell you that it doesn't work very well with an Iphone 5. The Swingbyte software shuts down for no apparent reason while hitting balls. It happened both session I used it before sending it back.

No it does not. You can measure the distance hit by any club, but it will not track it.

I find the same problem. I did not expect the Golf Buddy to be precise in the first instance. To have better precision go for the range finders. The distances can also be affected by the changes made by the golf courses but not updated by Golf Buddy. You should let them know if that is the case and they update these courses very promptly. I am quite happy with the Golf Buddy's accuracy of up to 10 yards give or take.

Yes it does, just point & click gives u the yardage! I'm very happy with my unit!!

No...it gives you that info automatically. You only point of you want to know the distance to a certain point in pro mode

Mine shows a map of the green, but not the fairway. It also shows the distance to the front, the middle and the back of the green.

Not sure I understand your question but before each shot you tap. You would tap your driver before you hit it. It then records the club hit and the location you hit it from. When you tap your next shot it then knows how far the first shot travelled.

It has two settings. With the swing mode, you have to hit a ball, but with the training mode you don't. I love this thing!

No it only tells clubhead speed. None of these type systems that purport to give you carry distance just are approximations. To get carry distance you need ball velocity, spin rate and launch angle, which none of these systems measure. You only get this with a trackman, which cost $20K-24K each.

place on the club with the black line aligned with the face of the club. Download the app from the app store. And turn the swingbyte on and synch up with your phone. The app will determine how you use the swingbyte.
