Great analyzer
Love this system, it provides immediate feed back on club head speed, is easy to set up and sync to your phone. You can get immediate feedback for club head speed, club face pace and position at impact all by looking at your phone.The one drawback I see to this that aligning the analyzer with the club face is a bit tricky and if your of a little it changes the reading quite a bit. Also if you are not someone who chokes down on the club the analyzer will have a tendency to push out of the handle again changing the readings you get.If you're a beginner like I am the actual analysis view and statistics can be tricky to understand but with a little practice and review you will get the idea.The analyzer has helped me correct several of my shots and saved me a few strokes on the course.I wouldn't be to concerned with the club head speed it says you're supposed to reach as I think that is what the pros are swinging.

Gets the job done... now go shoot low.
If you guys are in the market for a swing analyzer, I would highly recommend the SwingTalk by Golfzon. After using this little device for the past 2 weeks at the range and at home, I have noticed quite a few swing flaws that weren’t noticeable through feel or even on video.So how does it work?Shaped like a pushpin, the sensor attaches to the butt of your grip (unlike some that attach on the shaft like SwingByte). After downloading the free SwingTalk app and syncing with your mobile device via Bluetooth, the sensor records automatically when you swing and strike the ball or ground. The readings appear on your device within seconds and will tell you your swing speed and swing tempo audibly. Hence the name SwingTalk.Here are the nuts and bolts...Design – BogeyThough the sensor is barely noticeable visually and does little to effect the dynamic and/or swing weight, ultimately the effectiveness of a swing analyzer is equal parts form and function. We’ll talk about function later, but for now, the design of the sensor is good, but not great. One of the biggest complaints with attached swing analyzers is having to constantly readjust them. The SwingTalk, though better than others I have tested, does need adjusting on roughly 1 out of 3 iron shots. Sometimes the sensor would slip down a little or it would twist. In order to read correctly, the sensor needs to be flush with the end of the grip and aligned with the club face. I have to admit that I may have had some issues because of the type of grips I use… Golf Pride Tour Wrap 2G, which has a rather thin butt that protrudes out. A thicker, flatter grip like Winn would likely hold up better to the jarring. I will have to say that when I used it on my driver, the sensor had no issues moving.Performance – BirdieDespite its design flaw, the SwingTalk performs extremely well. If you take a practice swing, the sensor doesn’t record unless you actually hit something. The data gathered is rather extensive as well. Each swing computes numbers you’d see on a Trackman from Club Path, Attack Angle, Swing Speed, Face to Path, Swing Plane to name a few. Numbers are only good if they’re accurate and maybe 1 out of 10 did I feel a swing didn’t quite match the data. Using another swing radar, I was able to calculate the SwingTalk was typically off 2-3 mph, but no more than 5 mph. The app also gives a 3D rendition of each swing from all kinds of angles like overhead, down the line, face on, etc. If that’s not enough for you, you can compare your numbers and swing to a professional’s. You can also use this on your putting. It's one thing to see how your ball is rolling, it's another to have your putt analyzed from the swing path, length, face angle, and tempo. So if you’re a numbers guy or a visual one, you have the best of both worlds.Value – ParRetail price for the SwingTalk is around $149, which is right in the range of other swing analyzers. The SwingTalk is an item I could see myself using for a long time. Having a perfect swing may never be attainable for us amateurs, but having a consistent one using this device is made easier. If you’re in the market for a swing analyzer, you won’t be disappointed with the SwingTalk.Feel free to ask me any other questions about the SwingTalk.

This is perfect for the range
This is perfect for the range. It's small and compact and pretty easy to use.Setup:It paired with my iPhone 6 without problem. The only thing is that after pairing, I kept getting an error, "incorrect swing". After turning the device off and back on, it worked fine.Accuracy:I compared it to my optishot and I don't really know which is more accurate but I would assume the optishot is more accurate but swing speed on swing talk was consistently a bit higher by 3-5 mph. Also make sure to readjust the device to line it up correctly with the club head after every few swings. The alignment of the device makes a huge difference.I would definitely recommend Swingtalk. It gives a lot of information that would otherwise be impossible to get at the range. It's also a lot cheaper than its competitors.

Non existent customer service, device issues.
Downloaded the app on my Fire 6. Took some swings in the backyard with the SwingTalk and wiffle balls and it seemed to work. Next day took the device to the driving range and the ST app would continue crashing. Surprisingly, the DR app worked however it's not that accurate and doesn't reflect the actual distance or direction hit. It's almost as it calculates based on ideal contact with the club, which for me doesn't happen every time.Send two emails to the CS, the first one two weeks ago. Have not heard back at all.Not sure if the device needs to have WiFi connectivity for it to work. Perhaps there are compatibility issues with an app running on Fire 6. May never find out.Plan on trying again at the range, but it would be good to know what/how to fix issues with the app.

Consistent and Accurate (Accurate enough for its price point) Very happy.
Was looking for something to give me feedback while I practiced. Something that would give me some numbers that I could then relate to my ball flight and develop my feel. This product did that for me. Data is relatively accurate and consistent. Compared this to a Flight Scope 2 radar and it performed pretty well. Data is consistent enough and accurate enough for my needs. For something at this price range I am not expecting trackman numbers but it really does the job.Since then, it has helped my game a lot and I can say this is a great tool for anyone who wants to improve. I have yet to try the putting feature, but based from the swing analysis it should also be just as good.Battery life gets me through around 2 practice sessions of around an hour each. As long as it doesn't die mid way through practice, I'm happy.Overall great buy and I would recommend this to anyone looking for some sort of feedback and numbers.

Pros use this for a reason- it's easy to use, reliable and accurate.
I've got em all- swingbyte, even a $7k flightscope launch monitor. But I must say this has helped me the most, because of its ease of use, app functionality (voice tells you key data) and reliability (it fires right up and connects to the app quickly.) most golfers fight an over the top. I've and I'm no exception. This is helping me groove an on plane swing better than just about anything. It is also extremely useful for putting stroke work indoors or out.
