www.voicecaddie.com.au/
The Swing Caddie SC4 is both a complete simulator and portable launch monitor. For use both indoors and outdoors, the SC4 delivers professional grade swing and ball flight metrics. In simulator mode, the SC4 connects with the included MySwingCaddie App, providing a complete virtual display along with metrics and stats. To further enhance the simulator experience, the SC4 is fully compatible with E6 Connect / Optishot Orion and its suite of photorealistic courses (optional subscription). In outdoor use, the SC4 can be used as a standalone unit (no smart phone required) with its vivid display featuring carry distance, launch direction, swing speed, ball speed, smash factor, launch angle, apex, and spin rate. For a more advanced experience, the SC4 connects directly to a smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth allowing golfers to save their tracked data, record their swings, and produce swing overlays. The included remote control, voice output of distance, and rechargeable Lithium Ion battery ensures both the highest level of experience and convenience.

Nice review! I bought a SC4 this past weekend...I can't wait until it gets delivered!

@davidmaxfieldgolf 2 месяца назад

It’s a great unit. You will love it

@nupezb 4 месяца назад

Thanks for this video. This will probably be my next purchase. I’m looking for a sim to improve my range sessions.

@davidmaxfieldgolf 4 месяца назад

Great review David. I think this shows that the SC4 is a decent launch monitor for the price. It held it's own against Trackman!!

@davidmaxfieldgolf 4 месяца назад

💯 mate, great value LM for sure

@10KenHall Месяц назад

Still waiting for a camera based unit, one the doesn’t need to be5 ft behind the ball and without the mlm 2 subscription fees. Still holding out for Garmin to bring out such a unit.

@davidmaxfieldgolf Месяц назад

Anything behind the ball is a Doppler radar unit. Some of them have cameras but a true camera unit sits in front of the golfer like a skytrak or skytrak+

@bshimo2 4 месяца назад

I think it would be helpful to show the data from all three on the screen at the same time. Had a bit of trouble following which was which

@davidmaxfieldgolf 4 месяца назад

There was only really 2 that I was following. E6 and Trackman. Unfortunately was hard to put them both on the screen as I can’t get the screen recording

@ponnappaganapathy9941 4 месяца назад

Not bad. The SC4 is quite accurate considering the price. And for all clubs. Yes, it isn't a great computer simulator for playing practice rounds but overall it makes much more sense over the expensive 20K+ simulators. Those only make sense when you are a high level amateur or pro who needs that wedge to be accurate to the yard

@davidmaxfieldgolf 4 месяца назад

Agreed 👍🏼 it’s a fantastic unit for the money

@John-ei5uz 4 месяца назад

Nice video mate! Wouldn't it be great to know the actual measured data until the ball hits the screen before the algorithm kicks in! We don't want to be paying an extra 30K for an algorithm right? Outdoors its trackman everyday! But indoors how much does the algorithm contribute to the result when comparing devices? You would think that even the cheap devices get the actual available data up to 3 meters away!

@davidmaxfieldgolf 4 месяца назад

Yeah well the Trackman 4 does have a camera as well as Doppler radar. I’m not going to pretend I know the full details of it but basically it’s super accurate even indoors which is why a lot of the spin numbers weren’t italicised as the Trackman was measuring them. So that’s really encouraging that the sc4 was able to get as close as it did

@shakeyfly 3 месяца назад

I saw a comment that said it doesn't do shot shaping? So you are unable to practice cuts, fades, draws? Any Launch monitors in that price range that does?

@davidmaxfieldgolf 3 месяца назад

No it doesn’t do shot shaping but it does have launch direction

@LetsPlayThru 3 месяца назад

Seems spin rate is still a bit off with the SC4. With the carry numbers and others generally much closer. Any ideas why?

@davidmaxfieldgolf 3 месяца назад

Not 100% sure. I thought maybe the screen could be effecting it but it shouldn’t being a radar unit. I’d love to see them incorporate the RCT balls and that would solve the differences for sure. But remember that Trackman also could be off as I’m just using a standard premium ball so even that spin rate is relying on an algorithm I’m pretty sure.

@LetsPlayThru 3 месяца назад

@@davidmaxfieldgolf agree RCT Balls would be great. Well done, David.

@davidmaxfieldgolf 3 месяца назад

@LetsPlayThru thanks mate, love the unit though perfect for the range with its equaliser function and no requirement of mobile connection to use it

@DentinDestroyer Месяц назад

Can the SC4 be used for swing speed without hitting balls? Just for speed training with super speed or rypstick...

@davidmaxfieldgolf Месяц назад

Yes definitely can be

@DentinDestroyer Месяц назад

@davidmaxfieldgolf I figured so, I just couldn't find a clear answer anywhere. Considering picking it up with the father's day sale going.

Can you use this in a net?

@davidmaxfieldgolf Месяц назад

Absolutely

@clow242 4 месяца назад

All I would want would be carry and if I’m slicing or drawing.

@topgunbass 4 месяца назад

Sc4 doesn't measure spin axis so it doesn't really know if you are slicing or hooking. That is the problem with a lot of these cheaper units. You don't want a lot of practice thinking you are doing one thing only to get to the course and the ball flight is a shocker to what is really happening.

@davidmaxfieldgolf 4 месяца назад

Yeah shot shaping isn’t one of its features

@papab3272 3 месяца назад

The one thing I have to mention for anyone who is looking at the SC4 is that Swing Caddie's customer support is horrible. They released another firmware update a couple weeks ago that renders the practice mode all but useless due to a radical increase in swing speed and decrease in ball speed and smash factor. I've reached out twice to them and the response is basically a brush off. The fact that they release firmware updates with what seems like no beta testing or explanation is very frustrating. The unit is still helpful in the SWG speed training mode but had I known how terrible their support was I never would have bought this. There's just no excuse for this subpar level of support.

@davidmaxfieldgolf 3 месяца назад

How do you have the unit setup? I don’t have an issue with mine. Is yours 5 feet behind the ball level with the mat?

@papab3272 3 месяца назад

Absolutely set up exactly as I've had it set up over 100 times since purchase. My numbers prior to the update were darn near identical with Trackman 109ss/160bs/1.47 smash/efficiency. After the update they're 113/150/1.35. The spin also jumped by about 500rpm. I jumped on Trackman with the SC4 set up as well and the SC4 was dead wrong. Not sure why your unit is fine after the most recent update so hopefully it's not my actual unit. I'm in the USA but can't imagine that would matter unless it's an Imperial vs Metric issue? Regardless, Swing Caddie has offered no answer and no assistance. That's a horrible way to do business

@davidmaxfieldgolf 3 месяца назад

@@papab3272 interesting, I’ll compare it to my skytrak+ but here the numbers were very close

@papab3272 3 месяца назад

Thanks! Are you doing the firmware updates? You're probably aware but you have to be Bluetooth connected to their app via phone or tablet with the unit on or connect the unit to a computer to keep the firmware updated

@davidmaxfieldgolf 3 месяца назад

@golffe 4 месяца назад

@@davidmaxfieldgolf That would be great I'm genuinely interested to find out what 45k gets you compared to the GC3/BLP (the same unit bar colour) or others under 8k, if you have the time that would be Awesome. I put our 25K Trackman behind my Mevo+ and there was no difference to ball data, there is no need for me to have club data because I know exactly what type of shot I've hit just by feel, that comes with hitting 200+ balls a day over 3 years, also I moan about the odd miss read/no read with lobs to 4 yards or below with the mevo and I have worked out how to get the mevo to read putts 7mph and above, but I found the Trackman has these issues too. 25k V £1600 would love the 2 companies to get together and talk about this 🤣(never going to happen).
