Interesting new product...

I fully agree rdh. I think the thinking is quite oversimplified however the concept of less sensors and less spacing will reflect to a more inacurrate reading. Also I do think the shadow concept is more accurate than the reflective. I don't think this will force me to automatically go with a camera based setup unless the price was the exact same. If the price was the same for the camera based vs the sensor based, I may chose the camera for reasons of accurracy and the ability to hit off different surfaces. For now the sensor based is just cheaper and accurate enough to enjoy the sims with some confidence. I still think your pro7 setup is the gold standard. Let us know Martin's response to your email.

The other thing with this discussion is the value of taping the club at least the woods. I do think that the club taping (even if some people do not like doing it) is important for the accuracy in the reflective sims (dd and p3pro). Having that strip of reflective tape if put on properly will at least give the club a constant to work from. I think the dd will work better with taping but because of legal infringement they cannot tell users to tape their clubs.

Well its mid-end of December... Anyone hear any word on how the ADX Sensor mat is coming along? Price? etc...

Last I heard it was still going to be in prototype mode when I go to visit Martin on February 2nd. I asked to be a beta tester in the interim, but he said that he just wanted to test it in Florida first. I have sent him an email for an update, as I haven't heard anything yet.

I will be following up with Martin as well. It seems to me that he is concentrating more on the camera side of things.

Going to visit Martin on February 2nd? Assuming you'll be seeing him in florida, that will be a nice (hopefully) warm break from the canadian winter cory!

I just heard back from martin on the adx sensor:

"a bit delayed at the moment due to all the other work going on.

A change is that the ADX will now feature both Shadow and Reflex light technology. This will be switchable but bust be Shadow when using cameras."

I am really looking to Florida - going down late January to catch the PGA Merchandise Show (don't worry I will be tking videos and posting them for everyone to see )

Then I am heading out on a tour of the manufacturers to check out the latest systems and see how the factories are coming along. Hoping to get some video there too!

Going to try to get some golf in while in Orlando - anyone want to recommend a course or three?

Orange County National, Mystic Dunes, Champions Gait or any of the Disney Courses.

Thanks Bubba - I may have to try those out

I really wanted to bring my clubs, but the airlines want to charge way too much - guess I'm renting!
