When I was on an online chat with a rep there (about two weeks ago), they said August for normalization.

Thanks for the note.  Would be huge.

Ordered on Saturday July 9. Anyone ordered recently and has a feel for delivery time?

 

Thanks guys!

[rowersk]

my unit still on the way. can anyone please try to import FSK video file into shottracer if it works at least decent? thanks

I received an email from a Full Swing Rep today saying the price of the KIT is going from $3999 to $5000 the first week of August. I'm not sure if they're including anything extra like the Perpetual Software package or not. Either way it's still a price increase.

I've got a code if anyone wants a bit of savings $200 (FG2SCK).

Sigh. I’ve been waffling between this and the BLP vs waiting to see what the Uneekor ends up being. I really want to go FSK but just so few reviews….

Before normalization rolls out?

[JTRAV87]

The email made no mention of the normalization roll out.

I had a FSK in my cart on their site but didn’t complete the purchase. Got an email today with a $500 discount code. Tempting!

Still noodling this. Do you have to connect the app every time? Like, I get it for range/indoor, but how about if you have it on the course with you? Can you just setup machine and get numbers for that shot?

You do have to connect to the app, but it stays connected for a while. I think it would be fine on course

It will operate without being connected to the app you just don’t get video. I do it all the time. You can align and change clubs using the buttons on the FSK.

Oh that’s great to hear!
 

Another question. Indoors, am I correct that to get any sort of even driving range visualization that you have to have e6? Otherwise it’s just numbers/scatter plots?

[HoganHO]

Firmware 1.17(27) downloading now. Anyone know what the improvements might be?

 

 

App says Spin Rate Optimization

Can anyone change the name of this thread to “Full Swing Kit Launch Monitor”

 

I don’t think the current title gives proper search ability, etc….

 

 

Just a thought

Did you give it a test run yet? Mine just downloaded new firmware yesterday too. 

[HoganHO]

Gonna have a practice session today. Will report.

Sounds good. Have you used your FSK indoors yet? I’ve only used it on range and golf course.

I don’t use indoors and don’t intend to.

 

Never got it out today—played 18 instead.

 

Stay tuned.

[RmoorePE]

I only use mine indoors. Outdoors maybe 3 times. The new update has definitely changed some things, I think it is reading spin rates pretty well in that I feel like it is giving me more realistic numbers between ratty balls that have been beaten to death and newer ones. Prior to the update I got very consistent numbers ball to ball no matter the age.

 

However, I'm not sure I am good or consistent enough to really tell. Since the update my yardages on the machine have dropped 5 y, but that could just be some swing flaw that has crept in.

[Custom-X]

The new firmware is supposed to address spin with the inclusion of a new spin chart developed using the RCT Titleist ball with the folks at TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) via full flight outdoor ball measurements. Apparently this is a first for Launch Monitors. So that probably helps explain the better differentiation for the spin numbers. Normalization (temperature, elevation and wind) from what I heard is targeted as part of an early September firmware update.

Just bit the bullet and took the plunge, excited to get my hands on it!

[MattStrube]

I have the KIT, and it seems to be working great outdoors, albeit with terrible range balls.  How is everyone's experience indoors?  I have limited flight 15' total.  I'm still in my 30-day window, just trying to see if I may want to look at GC3.  Anyone compare these side-by-side?

Ordered 🙄

I just picked one up used and have used it a bit indoors. I have more space (20 feet) but it seems pretty solid to me. Interestingly, significant differences when I set it using “screen” vs “net” on indoor mode. “Screen” pretty accurate, “net” not at all. Assume that will clean up with firmware updates as net is still in beta.
 

I’ve hit balls with a GC3 too and it’s really good. The two things that made me go FSK were 1) not having to put stickers on clubs and 2) being able to use e6 on iOS for sim stuff instead of having to deal with a laptop. 

[joj]

Has anyone been using this with e6? The reviews of e6 in the App Store are extremely poor with people using different launch monitor units. How is it with KIT?

[Hokie2k5]

Finally got to put into a solid range session with the FSK and have to say I think it is accurate enough for what I use it for.  My club uses decent enough range balls but it's certainly not the same as new pro v1's on the course so I take the carry distance with a bit of a grain of salt but even with range balls I felt like it was pretty accurate distance wise.

 

It's easy to set up and use, the only issue I had was I exited the app on my phone to change my music and it didn't stay connected so I had to start a new session.  Probably something I just haven't figured out yet though.

[joj]

Price moved up to $4999. I bought last week because sales guy said it was increasing. I thought maybe this was a sales tactic, but price did go up 1k. 
 

Based on reviews, I don’t believe this is the perfect launch monitor yet. However, I’m convinced that they are going to constantly improve through firmware updates, so it made sense to get the hardware now at a lower price and ride it out. 🤷‍♂️

I have 12 RCT balls if anyone is interested in them for sale, send me a DM. 

 

I opened and hit a couple hundred shots with them on the old firmware, which didn't work properly.  I ended up making the switch to GC3 because I'm mostly hitting indoors.

I looked on the Full Swing site and couldn’t find what I was looking for.  How much space behind you does this need to sit?
