I cannot wait to get my setup in my new house so I can just walk out to the garage now. I fricking hate that both of my garages are jam packed with S$H( and I have to go to the range and hit crap balls.I can think of a lot better things to do with your time now that you have one.
I know I have more than a little extra crap in my space right now too, but I tell myself it's all golf stuff and I don't have any time to hit things/play at home right now anyway. Should slow down by the 4th of July or so and I'll get it set up to just go out the house door and start it to again.
Yeah our house should be done in the next couple weeks with the exception of countertops (bathroom and kitchen) and bathroom sinks, so we will start moving in 1st of June and I should get things settled in my July hopefully. Will definitely be excited to have this setup this winter.
I mostly use an iPad air 5th Gen (cast to TV or projector) and I've enjoyed that much more than my iphone experiences.
That’s probably my biggest gripe about the MLM2 because it would be so easy to fix. That and a 3D practice area - combine the range and practice and don’t differentiate between the 2. Displaying additional metrics when there is ample space to do so shouldn’t take any effort at all. I understand that adding features is another level of effort, but to just display what’s already being captured? Jeez. The user experience is just so clunky and it doesn’t need to be that way.
I typically use my iPad (don’t know the generation but it’s old), but that means I have to bring one of my mesh wifi “pucks” outside to make sure I have a good signal. I’ll use my Samsung phone if I don’t want to deal with that, but it’s pretty difficult to see that screen without picking up the phone. If your iPad doesn’t have cellular and your WiFi is spotty in your hitting area, that might steer your to the phone, especially if you can connect it to the TV.
The range is nicer. It also uses a lot more resources than the practice. I see a strong argument for keeping the lighter weight practice mode. Running on older hardware, not projecting to a screen or streaming to a tablet, or actually being at the driving range and you just care about the numbers.
Yeah, but I would have thought they would have addressed the user interface much sooner. I know they had the disconnect issues that needed to be fixed first, which they took care of, for the most part. It’s still more finicky than the other launch monitors I tried out. The only thing they’ve changed with the range was to add a skyline and a user defined target area, but that target can’t be less than 50 yards. Why they imposed an artificial limit is beyond me - I was looking forward to having a chipping target. I don’t think they’ve added anything to the practice area. But as you say, if you only care about the numbers, they’re accessible, even if you have to navigate to get them. And you always have the E6 practice areas, which are much nicer. Just no video or data capture.
I do prefer that they are working on the bigger problems that are going to make the sim functional. They have a lot of places where small tweaks could result in big wins for the users too.
Yes, and I totally get that. I’m not much of a sim player, so those improvements were kinda lost on me. But I can understand how improving the sim courses with elevation would have a lot of appeal for those that play them.
