They seem fine just with the feedback I’m getting from the club. Maybe not, though. 
 

I was thinking it could be my setup. I’m not sure how much light, sounds, position of unit relative to ball, tee I’m using, etc affects things. 
 

I don’t have swing speed tracked so I can’t answer that but they feel fine. 

Start with some impact tape.

For those of you looking for the BLP on sale, it’s $500 off at Puetz.

The interface with the iPad is much improved from this time last year.

 

Used it last night for the first time in a while.

 

Connection was immediate and never was interrupted.

I am sure it's been addressed somewhere in this thread, but do other people still have issues with FSX Pro end a range session while using it? I usually can not get through more than 30-40 balls before it switches back to the FSX Pro screen. I know it isn't a wifi connection issue because my BLP is connected to laptop's USB.

Does anyone know why these are not available in Canada? If I can get one, is there any problem getting it to run here?

I am not sure if they ever are planning to release them outside the US.  I have heard that some Canadians are using them with a VPN, not 100% sure though.  Foresight Canada does have "Ball only" GC3's for $5k CAD.  Not a bad deal.

The ball only data gc3 in Canada is a great deal IMO.  Add soon to be officially supported GSPro and you have a great base for very accurate simulation.

WOW That is a great deal.

No most likely on the ceiling. Some type of mounted unit. Would be sweet tho agree. Don’t think the green good to go light has laser capabilities tho.

Stoked that face to path and rate of closure may be coming!

 

Previously thought to be quad only

The whole thing looks amazing. It’ll definitely help with aligning the unit as well. 
 

at first I thought it was just the alignment laser thing, then he hit it and my mind was blown. Maybe the GSPRO club face data isn’t estimated after all.
 

 Take my money please and thank you.

I emailed their website for the price. Late March is the international release date. You have the camera and projector (separate units) mounted approx. 9’6” from the floor on the ceiling. The camera and AI work together to project the results at your feet. They say you don’t need club markers to get the data for the club as the camera will do that. 
 

This looks like a game changer for those who get the “ball data only” monitors. 
 

When they email me back about price, I’ll share it on here.

I think mygolfspy said 15k on their recent video for it. It seems like would be awesome for the alignment but not the price that was mentioned. I could see 4-5k add on would be more acceptable. Maybe they come out with a lower price for  just alignment.

15k according to mygolfspy they mention it in the summary video of the Pga show 2023 they posted on YouTube. At that point might as well buy a trackman or quad !!

I tried searching, but didn't see this come up.. probably not a common question given how the FSX is attached to everything. 

 

If I have a family member willing to sell me their FSX 2020 + Play for cheap ($500-1k). Could I buy a BLP, transfer that to the BLP and have a "unlocked" unit? Does the Unlock do something different other than buying the FSX software, vs subscription?

I believe the BLP needs a different FSX download from Foresight compared to the normal downloads good for GC2, GC3 & Quad and might require a different license key.

GSPro club face data is 100% calculated, I was the one who showed the interface developer how to do it.

Just to be clear….

“Calculated” means “measured”?

Measured means measured.

 

Calculated means the arithmetic derived from measured points.

Not as simple as that with these devices…otherwise calculated data results from measured points would be accurate across all platforms.

Hello all, I am new to the PLM world and had a couple of questions about the BLP. I would only be using the BLP at the range likely on mats as there are almost no grass ranges in my area and not the greatest range balls, may bring it out on the course occasionally if it’s not packed.
 

1) Does anyone use the BLP with just the device and their iPhone? Does getting an iPad make using the range worth buying an iPad or is it the same 2D range either way?

2) did anyone go from the Mevo+ with PP to BLP and if so, could you tell me why?

3) is there any kind of carrying case out there that you can buy for the BLP?it looks like it comes in a box but no actual case with it, somewhat worried about not having something to help protect it, especially if I want to bring it on the course with me for a couple of Tee shots.

 

Any opinions or info would be greatly appreciated, I’m just looking for a device that gives me accurate and consistent and as many data points as possibly, no Sim use at this time.

I actually bought both the 2.0 and the large and ending up keeping the large because you can fit a full size laptop in it along with plenty of accessories. I keep my GC3 in this when I am not using it in the house just to keep it protected and out of the way. It is very non-descript so it doesn't scream steal me as it looks like a normal pack. Plus it is a perfect size for air travel as it fits the personal size category and can go under a seat. 

 

The new GC3 sling is overpriced and really seems only to be able to carry the GC3 without too much more. 

Here is the post I put about the CADEN large bag. It caries a full size laptop, my webcam, cords, etc. For the range/ipad check out the small version. Do a forum search on CADEN and it will pop up.

I’ve never tried to see the ball flight on software outside when weather gets better I might need to actually check that. I usually take it on course for wedges and carry distances, never really use it on tee box’s. I always use my gamer ball prov1 left dot so no idea. It’s not so much the speed because the distances is still there almost. But the flight I mean is like something I’ve never seen. I’m floating at a +2 and usually average 65 70% of fairways. My closest to target line is about 25 yards left some go 100 left. 

 

 1.45 to 1.48 club heads usually around 118 119 on the gc3. The distance seems to be there but the ball flight is insane. I grabbed a pic of the only good one the gc3 even showed and it was still 75 feet left of target.  Some have been a 100yrds left and still went 300. But said I pushed it 3* right. I play a pretty straight ball with driver in real life and this thing will not go right. I could hit 70 drives and not one will finish right of target. 

Did you ever get resolution on this?  I've had similar issues where ballspeed vs both what was previously 'normal' on the GC3 and vs. very current Trackman sessions is about 5-6% low.  My driver bs on GC3 is 155-160 depending on strike, and on TM is 162-168.  Actually impacts all clubs, but obviously isn't as noticeable in shorter irons/wedges.  Over the past couple weekends I've also had a buddy over (who is super consistent).  On my GC3 his driver ballspeed is between 130-135 dependent on strike, and on Trackman (he goes once/twice a week to an indoor facility) its between 137 and 142.  Next step is to bring to the TM facility and test side by side...

I have not yet. Some days it works perfect for me then some days it’s way off. I guess comparing a 4k unit to one of the best you can expect some issues. Just thankful I have both available. I think mine has more to do with the unit itself. When I put the alignment stick down it jumps from like 0 to 1.6L 2.2L back to 0 it never really stays on target.

Yep, fair point on cheaper unit compared to Quad and Trackman.
