Quad to Quad Max - Worth the upgrade?

eagle2x · May 10

Foresight seems to be running a deal to upgrade the quad to quad max. Has anyone upgraded and does the additional data and functionality make it worth the upgrade to you?

I can't speak to worth or value — if my net worth was $20B, I might have one QuadMAX in each of my many homes, and if my net worth was $20,000, I'd probably be thinking about the roof over my head or my next meal.

Having undergone a GCQuad -> QuadMAX upgrade… My comments are in red.

Touchscreen Display: Nice to have, but ideally you're not touching it a lot. And the few times you do, it's not like the buttons were that much different.
Speed Training: I honestly haven't used it yet, but I'm sure it's fine.
MyTiles: For me, this alone was almost worth the upgrade cost. I set up three or four (one just on club data, one on ball data, one for distance wedges…) and I have a last one called "Lessons" that I'll quickly customize before or during a lesson to show the two to four data points I'm worried about in that lesson.
Internal Session Capture: I don't care too much — I tend to look at data in the moment, not months or weeks or even hours later.
Ball apex, descent angle, and ball offline from target. Really good to have these on device because I will use it without a computer or iPad pretty often.
Larger Battery: Cool, but… haven't really noticed.
Decreased Weight: Caddies appreciate it I'm sure.
New Ergonomic Handle: Meh.

In other words, I find the MyTiles and the additional data to be winners for me. I'm glad I upgraded.

Thank You for this - very helpful! The additional value in those data points is exactly what I was asking. Many thanks!

the only thing I see is the $5k for conversion they have been running since the max came out. Is there a better deal?

You can write to your sales rep, but… that's the official price. It'll be gone about three weeks from the day you ship it.

Thanks for the reply. I did reach out to the rep that I bought my "buddy deal" Quad from, but that was the only contact I had with him. I asked if there were any better deals on a conversion, and so far radio silence. I did ask before I bought the quad if those can be upgraded to max (considering they are referbs) and he said they could.

Yeah the upgrade is literally that they keep the cameras and a little of the base stuff (where the serial # sticker is) and put in a new battery, case, and top unit (where the LCD is).
