Two of the products that actually are important are a GPS and launch monitor. In this post, we\u2019re going to be testing out the Garmin G80, Sc300, Flightscope Mevo, and the SkyCaddie SX500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The two best products are the Garmin G80 and Flightscope Mevo. Both of them were extremely well built and were the most accurate units. The Mevo will work well if you just need a launch monitor.

It\u2019s the only device on this list that can actually do both and it\u2019s also the only hybrid device I\u2019m familiar with (when writing this).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I really like the fact that you only need one unit to do two different things. Before, I\u2019d have to make sure two devices were charged and ready to go. It\u2019s not a huge deal but it is one less thing to worry about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The GPS will show you the distance to the&nbsp;<strong>front, middle, and back<\/strong>&nbsp;of the green as well as the distance to hazards and doglegs. You can also select any point on the hole to get exact yardages. The list doesn\u2019t stop there though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another feature the G80 has is the ability to&nbsp;<strong>adjust for elevation.<\/strong>&nbsp;Most golf watches will just give you a standard distance but the G80 will take an uphill or downhill shot and adjust it to the right yardage. It\u2019s extremely useful if you want to improve your consistency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The launch monitor is what you\u2019ll bring to the range to see your swing stats and dial in your yardages. You just place it behind you, take a swing, and it\u2019ll spit out the numbers. It\u2019s going to record your&nbsp;<strong>tempo, clubhead speed, ball speed,<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>smash factor, and distance.<\/strong>&nbsp;It also comes with some pretty cool practice games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Who\u2019s the G80 for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re in the market for a launch monitor to keep track of your club stats and also a GPS for the course, this could be a\u00a0<strong>great option<\/strong>.\u00a0If you just want a launch monitor it\u2019s probably not the best option you can go with. <a class=\"aawp-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07N1HDXDF?tag=gweek_end-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" title=\"Check The Garmin G80 Price On Amazon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" data-aawp-product-id=\"B07N1HDXDF\" data-aawp-product-title=\"Garmin Approach G80 All-in-One Premium GPS Golf Handheld with Integrated Launch Monitor 3.5  Touchscreen Black\/White\"><strong>Check The Garmin G80 Price On Amazon<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/outofboundsgolf.co\/garmin-approach-g80\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read The Full Garmin G80 Review Here.<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pros<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Comes with GPS &amp; launch monitor.<\/li><li>Super accurate GPS.<\/li><li>Easy to use.<\/li><li>Has the most golf courses.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The launch monitor doesn\u2019t have all tracking features.<\/li><li>The launch monitor isn\u2019t as advanced.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SkyCaddie SX500 Features<\/h2>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube\"><div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"The BEST Skycaddie ever?\" style=\"width:853px;max-width:100%;margin:5px auto;\"><div class=\"lyMe hidef\" id=\"WYL_u56MgfwF9pc\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/outofboundsgolf.co\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fu56MgfwF9pc%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/u56MgfwF9pc\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT6M47S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2018-11-21T19:30:00Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_u56MgfwF9pc\" data-src=\"https:\/\/outofboundsgolf.co\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fu56MgfwF9pc%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">The BEST Skycaddie ever?<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/u56MgfwF9pc\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/outofboundsgolf.co\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fu56MgfwF9pc%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"The BEST Skycaddie ever?\" width=\"853\" height=\"460\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Just an Average Golfer giving unbiased opinions on all things golf, product tests, Golf travel vlogs and golf news!

No longer just for the pros - follow the link for an exclusive price: https:\/\/golfersrx.com\/sc300\/ What if I told you, knowing your yardages is not just for the pros. It benefits all of us. And that this information is also within reach for the average golfer. The SC300 portable launch monitor by Voice Caddie provides data as accurate as the devices the pros use, for a fraction of the cost. Besides its great design and portability, it\u2019s Doplar Technology does a great job in balancing what &amp; how much information it provides you. This allows you to use this information without without feeling confused or overwhelmed. It measures: - Your Carry and your Total Distance - Your swings efficiency better known as Smash Factor - Your Launch Angle - Your Swing Speed - Your Apex (or the max height your golf ball travels) - Your ball Speed - It has voice output of your distance - And to ensure that you\u2019re getting the most accurate metrics possible, encased inside are atmospheric pressure sensors allowing it calibrate to your specific environment. It\u2019s also completely adjustable to reflect the clubs you\u2019re using at any particular time. Use the remote that\u2019s included to adjust the club, adjust the loft, and allow the SC300 to give you the most accurate reading. Use the SC300 in combination with the Voice Caddie app, connected via Bluetooth to your phone or tablet and you\u2019ll be able to store all your swings and their metrics for review. Whether that\u2019s at the end of your practice session. Or at the end of a month long training &amp; improvement period. Dial in your yardage for each club and you\u2019ll walk onto the course with the added confidence that you know your game. Your game. The SC300 is going to help you determine yardages for every club in the bag from your driver to your lob wedge but that\u2019s just in its practice mode. Switch over to its Target Mode and you can begin working on your precision and scoring. Your sand wedge may go 95 yards, but can you control it to a precise 75? With Target Mode you can transition to various target yardages ranging from 15 yards all the way up to 195 in 5 yard increments. You may think you\u2019re making a 75 yard swing but it may in fact be an 85 yard swing. Wouldn\u2019t you rather find that out on the range instead of the course? It\u2019s not just about getting the information it\u2019s about using that information. It\u2019s about learning how to take control of your yardages so you can take control of your game. With it\u2019s lithium-polymar battery you can grind it out for up to 12 hours on the range\u2026or until the sunsets- whichever comes first.

It\u2019s the same price so that\u2019s kind of a no-brainer to me. <a class=\"aawp-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07NFVPKHL?tag=gweek_end-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" title=\"Check The Caddie SC300 Price On Amazon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" data-aawp-product-id=\"B07NFVPKHL\" data-aawp-product-title=\"Voice Caddie Golf Swing Caddie SC300 Portable Launch Monitor  Black\"><strong>Check The Caddie SC300 Price On Amazon<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/outofboundsgolf.co\/training\/swing-caddie-sc300\/\" target=\"_blank\">Read The Full SC300 Review Here.<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pros<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Gives more swing stats than the G80.<\/li><li>Comes with practice modes.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Doesn\u2019t come with a swing camera.<\/li><li>It\u2019s not quite as accurate as the Mevo.<\/li><li>Doesn\u2019t come with GPS.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Comparing The Price<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, the&nbsp;<strong>G80, Mevo, and SC300<\/strong>&nbsp;are priced the exact same. The&nbsp;<strong>SX500<\/strong>&nbsp;is around $150 cheaper. The prices are always changing so you\u2019ll probably want to check if there are any sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I said before, I probably wouldn\u2019t get the SX500 myself because I didn\u2019t think it was as good. Same with the SC300. It\u2019s priced the same as the G80 and Mevo and I did like both of them more. If you find the SX500 or SC300 on sale for a good price then it might be worthwhile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Comparing The Performance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the main thing that really matters. If the GPS or launch monitor data is wrong then what\u2019s the point in having it? When I talk about performance I\u2019m referring to how accurate they were, whether the battery was any good, and if the interface was easy to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For&nbsp;<strong>GPS,<\/strong>&nbsp;the G80 was really close to my laser rangefinder and the furthest off it was is somewhere around 7 yards. More often than not, the accuracy was within a few yards and I was completely fine with that. The SX500 was pretty good as well but it wasn\u2019t as consistent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<strong>launch monitor<\/strong>&nbsp;data on the G80 wasn\u2019t perfect but it was good enough to get reliable info. They claim it\u2019s accurate to within 5 yards (for distance) but I noticed it was within about 5-7 yards. Sometimes it was spot on and sometimes it wasn\u2019t, but it was always within the 7-yard mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Mevo and SC300 pretty much had the same features and were priced the same. Compared to the G80, I think both of them were slightly more accurate on average, but the&nbsp;<strong>Mevo was the most consistent<\/strong>&nbsp;of the three. That\u2019s why I prefer the Mevo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q. Can you use them at home with a net?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A. You can but it\u2019s recommended to see the ball flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q. Does it track hooks and slices?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A. No, that\u2019s why the range is recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q. How accurate are they?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A. With driver it was about 5 yards off, mid irons were about 3 yards off, wedges were about 7 yards off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are These Devices Worth It?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, I\u2019d say it\u2019d be worth picking up a device like this if you plan on&nbsp;<strong>using them<\/strong>&nbsp;a lot and have the&nbsp;<strong>spare money<\/strong>&nbsp;lying around. They\u2019re a great thing to have if you\u2019re looking to improve your game and become more consistent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want a GPS and a launch monitor, the&nbsp;<strong>Garmin&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>G80<\/strong>&nbsp;could be a great option (not perfect but pretty close). It\u2019s probably the one I\u2019d go with if I had to make the choice because of the hybrid feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/outofboundsgolf.co\/garmin-approach-g80\/\" target=\"_blank\">Read The Full Garmin G80 Review Here.<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t really care about GPS but you want the best possible launch monitor (on this list), go with the&nbsp;<strong>Mevo<\/strong>.
