Watching Rick Shiels videos I came across Shot Vision but this seems to be on iOS only. There are a few I've seen on the Google Play store but they have mixed reviews. My other option would be to get a preowned iPhone and use that instead. Can anyone suggest anything similar to Shot Vision that would do the job on Android?

I finished my first season of golf this year with many ups and downs as one would expect. Best rounds were in the 110s.\n\nI took a few lessons over the course of the season and they were ok, but not amazing. Now it's the winter.

I have a mat and net at home in my garage and can put some practice sessions in there as often as I need to.

IMO, the Bushnell Launch Pro is far and away the best home-use monitor at a reasonable price for many people. You can get them new right now for $3K or used/refurbished for around $2,500 and it's every bit as good as pro-level machines you'll see on ranges at professional events. That's not something you can come close to saying about any unit that costs less than that. \n\nI totally understand that 2.5-3K is not necessarily \"affordable\" to everyone, but in the grand scheme of things having a home sim/launch monitor is not a cheap endeavor and to be able to get that level of quality is something you would've had to spend around $10K on even 3 years ago which is why I think it represents the best value proposition out there in that market.

After playing on it for a few months it left me wanting more since I only used the driving range. Upgraded to the square this week and it’s a definite jump up. Closest to the pin has been super helpful for chipping and I feel like the shot shape is more accurate, especially for drivers. I have been super happy with it and am really enjoying it. I do have a fair bit of ambient light in my garage but I haven’t had any miss hits that weren’t my fault or connection issues.

I practice a ton, i had never had lessons before unless my high school golf coach counts. I had a 1 hour lesson each week for about 4 months with 10 hours of trackman time between each. Bought in completely, trust the process. Did the drills he gave me hundreds of times. Changed my swing completely.  \n\nAnd for all that…I got much much worse. I went in with very minor issues and weak short game. I left with a weak short game and swing that felt foreign and performed terribly. I spent another 4 months not even trying to “improve”, just trying to get back to square one. \n\nI realize now that he was trying to fit me into a very generic swing, but I had been a 3 handicap before a decade break, I had a swing that worked for a fairly high level. Instead of trying to understand what I was doing and why it was working and improve that, he was treating me the same way he treats a guy who just picked up a club and is hitting 50 yard slices. I lost 10 MPH of clubhead speed and ironically started slicing, while I went in swinging 115 and hitting a baby draw with hook miss. \n\nI’m not ready for another coach after that for a while, but at some point I w","date":"2026-02-10","sentiment":"neutral"},{"productId":"prod_291","source":"Reddit","sourceUrl":"https://reddit.com/r/GolfSwing/comments/1r0lb7x/looking_for_perspective_on_golf_coaching_how_to/","author":"u/Realistic-Might4985","rating":null,"text":"How much time do you spend on your short game?  Biggest gains in scoring will be around the green.  Putting in as much time as you have, I would expect you to be on or near the green in regulation on most holes.  If you are chipping and two putting or three putting you are giving up many strokes.  60% of your practice should be on short game.  The more confidence you have around the green the less pressure on your long game.  I would also suggest you read “Golf is not a Game of Perfect” by Dr Bob Rotella.  It will change your approach to the game and for that matter life.","date":"2026-02-10","sentiment":"positive"},{"productId":"prod_291","source":"Reddit","sourceUrl":"https://reddit.com/r/GolfSwing/comments/1r0lb7x/looking_for_perspective_on_golf_coaching_how_to/","author":"u/bogeyz65","rating":null,"text":"I am a 3.4 handicap.

When hitting into a net, you have no idea where that ball would have gone.  The range is marginally better.  Hitting off grass is the way to practice your driver and irons for sure.  Obviously it isn’t always possible, and you want to to swing, so use what you have.  I just found the less I practiced when I wasn’t playing the better I would do.  You can’t fix something you can’t see when it comes down to swing mechanics.  So much is feel and the feedback you get from knowing how you felt and where the ball actually went.  Live lessons are also much more helpful for me than video lessons.  I found the video lessons to be recipes of very few phrases to critique your swing and things to work on without being too specific.  At 1-3 rounds per month keep your expectations realistic, you will improve but not overnight.  Breaking 80 is far more about the short game and putting and staying in play over an amazing swing.

Tuning your swing / understanding mechanics is only half the battle. I'm kind of dealing with this now with one of my younger players...they're constantly grinding on the range/simulator, thinking this is going to magically lower their scores.\n\nI laid this scenario out for them a few days ago...let's say all of a sudden you felt really great about the swing/numbers/etc. Now, we're on hole 13 and you're even par - 5 holes left to \"break through\" - think you can do it?\n\nThe answer is likely no. They're going to feel things they haven't felt at the range/simulator.  The only way to replicate is by playing a LOT of golf and putting yourself in those situations regularly.  My general take is this:\n\n1). Do you understand the golf swing? If you're a mid handicap, this is CRUCIAL to break thru to the next layer. You need to know why things happen (not just throwing out some BS crap you read online &lt;-- I see this SO MUCH and it drives me crazy). \"Ah, I sliced that...I must have come OTT.\"  No, you literally missed the center of the club face by 2''.
