Key Tradeoffs
Manufacturer-published accuracy: +/-2% ball speed; +/-3 yards carry distance in Target mode; +/-3% carry distance in Practice mode. Measuring range 10 yds ~ 370 yds. Spin is an algorithmic estimate, not measured (lower confidence metric). Independent testing (PluggedInGolf vs Foresight GC2):…
Sensor Technology
0 (no cameras — radar-based) cam · 1 (single K-Band 24 GHz Doppler radar) radar
Technology
Portable doppler radar launch monitor. Senses ball motion via a single K-Band 24 GHz Doppler radar sensor placed on the ground ~5 ft behind the hitter, in line with the target. It combines radar data with a calibrated atmospheric (barometric) pressure sensor to correct distances
Ball Data
~7-8 metrics. On-device LCD: Carry distance, Total distance, Ball Speed, Swing (club head) Speed, Smash Factor, Launch Angle, Apex (max height). Via MySwingCaddie app only: Spin Rate (driver through 8-iron). Display modes include Target, Practice, and Approach/short-game modes.…
Club Data
Measured/derived: swing speed (club head speed) and smash factor from the radar. No club path, face angle, attack angle, or other club-face delivery metrics — those are not provided.
Sim Ready
Not a simulator unit. The SC300i is a range/practice launch monitor and does NOT natively drive simulator software (GSPro, E6, TGC/2K, FSX, Awesome Golf). Voice Caddie's simulator-capable product is the separate SC4 PRO (E6 Connect support)

Device Reqs
Mobile + onboard. Works standalone on its own LCD; full experience via the MOBILE MySwingCaddie app over Bluetooth. No dedicated PC simulator software is published for the SC300i (unlike the SC4 Pro, it is not marketed with E6 Connect). ·…
Subscription
None. No subscription required. The MySwingCaddie companion app (iOS/Android) is free and unlocks spin data, shot history, session/club organization, and video integration. The device also works…
Special Balls
No marked balls, no metallic spin stickers, no proprietary balls — any standard/regulation golf ball works; the radar tracks the ball without markings. Practice/foam/range/limited-flight balls are explicitly NOT recommended; they will…
Mounting
Floor/ground placement behind the ball (not overhead, not side-mount). Sits on the ground, level with the hitting surface; no tripod, ceiling mount, or wall mount required. Includes a remote control. · Set the unit on the floor approximately 5 ft directly behind the ball, aligned with the intended…
