GSA- Zone Swing Analyzer

So far I have limited use with the Zone but really like it. I thought it was fairly accurate right out of the box. Put it on my 7 iron that I hit about 155-160 yrds normally. It was showing closer to 150 yrds on my better swings. What I liked most about it is seeing a 3D graphic of my swing to check that I'm on plane, and also to get information on how much forward shaft lean I have at impact. It also confirms that I am swinging on an inside path. I thought I was coming over the top a bit, but I'm not. If anything it's pretty straight path through impact and at times I close my face down a bit and the device also gives me that feedback. Of course clubhead speed information helps me too. Overall, I feel all the information provided is helpful to fine tune my swing especially during the cold winter. I can practice swinging in my house and just hit plastic balls (or my birdie balls which feel like real balls to me) and get similar feedback about my swing without having to take the time going to the driving range. Would definitely buy again.

This is useful. It took awhile to understand all the stats. For example, I had a shaft lean of -5 to-8, and I thought that meant my shaft was leaning backwards at impact. Turns out, just the opposite is true. It also seems to underestimate my swing speed. I am an eight-handicapper, drive it 250 about 8 out of 10 drives, and so my driver speed cannot be as low as 85, which is what it says---I'm six-foot, athletic and in my thirties, not a 72-year-old grandmother. My real speed is at least 100, so it's way off there. I think this must be a result of the "hand speed" it's reporting at super low amounts (5-8 mph), when the average is somewhere well north of there. To be fair, I had the same problem with the clip-on-your-glove device from the competitor company, so there must be something weird about my swing.

I'm a pretty good golfer (index between 9 and 12) and after a couple of years of rarely playing (20 rounds/yr) due to back issues, I thought this would be a great way to get back my swing. I thought it was fairly easy to setup, though if you grip your clubs (as I do) with the label side down, it's hard to line it up with a square club face. I tried it out in my back yard, and was pleased with the information it was giving me. Even had my wife try it, so she could see the difference between my on-plane swing and her over-the-top one. But this all changed when I took it to the golf course. I had a good drive off the first tee, but when I returned to my cart, the unit did not transfer the data. I fumbled around with it best I could while driving to the ball, but it had disconnected itself from my phone. I then tried to reconnect, but that didn't work either. I tried to reconfigure bluetooth, but that didn't work. I took it home and when I opened the tab covering the USB charging port, the cover fell off. I needed a tiny screwdriver to open the underneath tab to charge it. I took it to the course the next day. I finally got it reconnected and this time I thought I'd keep it close to the phone, so that it wouldn't lose connections, so it was in my bag 5 feet away on the range. Again, it didn't record any swings. I even confirmed that it was connected, and it was, but still no recording. After that round, I went to return the device, explaining both that it broke and that it was continually disconnecting from the phone or not recording swings, but found that the return has to be approved. They wanted me to make a video of the problem I was having, so I sent a pic of the broken USB tab. There's no way for me to make a video of the constant loss of connection. I have yet to hear back from them. Do not buy this unless you're willing to put up with the constant loss of connection and a broken USB tab.

I had an original 3 bays analyzer and lost it, so I purchased the new version. I don't recall my old one having all the issues I am currently having. I charged the battery fully and the light turned yellow after 21 swings. Not sure what yellow means since there is no explanation on it. It's green when fully charged, so I am assuming yellow means getting low. I like the date it provides because it can help your game, but when you see what you are doing wrong and try to correct it on your next swing, it doesn't process the new swing. It does this a lot, it is very frustrating because you won't know if the new swing was correct because of no feedback, just shows previous swing, no calculations on the next swing. You wait for the solid light, swing again, and nothing again. After a few swings like that, I turn it off and back on again and it seems to work until it does it again. Not sure, maybe I just got a bad unit. But, I can't rely on it for accurate swing analysis if it doesn't record over 50% of your swings...

Just got it out of the box and read the manual. I'll update this after I use it. The manual is definitely lacking. It's a quick start guide - that's it. Doesn't tell how to interpret the data, how to hook up the data cable (which doesn't come with it), how to change the battery, or anything else that might be helpful. I'm hoping their website will have more. The unit I got was most likely a return, as it wasn't in the display box on the post designed for that purpose, but was in the carrying case and the battery was already installed.

This really works well for providing the feedback on swing path, club head speed, and if club head is square at impact. Can be a little tricky getting a bluetooth connection sometimes, but works very well. Note that you must wait for the analyzer to stop flashing between swings to download the data. Best golf training aid I have found!

Very nice swing tracker. Can't beat the price for what numbers it gives. I bought one then my buddy got the same, we both agree that it helps with knowing the tempo and how we are swinging!!
