📋 The fine print
Outdoors: Doppler-only, ~5 metrics, no spin-axis. Indoor spin depends on ball logo orientation; some popular models (Pro V1, Callaway) problematic. Unit discontinued; support/docs removed. No mandatory subscription. Free native app; simulators (TGC, E6, Perfect Parallel) sold separately. GSPro via unofficial connector.
