GGS LX launch monitor

[bubba22]

It's really a sad story!

[Msuzippy]

I think it's safe to say that if there's truly an affordable software solution to pair with a GC2, the LX is cooked. His window is closed.

[mmlincon]

agreed, he should just drop the LX and get working on the surround products before someone beats him to that as well.

[bubba22]

Exactly mm!

[Msuzippy]

Yup

[northgolf]

bubba,


I still follow the GSA LX tech reports. The upward climb in Martin's pricing means my following them is just a matter or curiosity - when I add in the price of having to fly down to FLA and see the thing working before I purchase it, well then I might as well get a GC2.


I am hoping that what you keep hinting is in the works comes sooner than later.

[bubba22]

I am going to be in Naples this Jan for a family vacation. I will have to pay Martin a visit.

[northgolf]

Bubba,


If you do that, I'd be quite interested to learn what you find out.

[bubba22]

I will be there after the PGA show, in fact the weekend of the show. I will definitely go to see Martin. I suspect there will be lots of stuff coming from this years show.

[Dax]

I agree with you bubba, I have spent a lot of time researching these past few weeks and have seen a few hints that some of the sim companies will have some new things to show at this coming years PGA show. I am holding off all of my major purchases until then just to see what might be out there. I hope to have everything else built by then though.

The latest tech news tells us that the LX Pro redefines the "foot wedge".


The last two tech news tell us the LX pro can't tell the difference between the ball, a hand, a foot, or a leg. I say: "ship it".

The website has been down (gone) for me all day.

Has the end come?

Enough is enough...the latest December 17th post is one hugemongus BS. None of this matters anyway. Very, very soon, the lx and gsa will essentially be ”launched” into a black hole were they belong.

[bubba22]

I wonder how often the spin will be calculated and not measured?

[POESTER]

It's not a launch monitor. It's a launch estimator. I can do that with foam balls against a wall.
But my favorite part of Martin's post today is how he just figured out the LX doesn't work outside a controlled environment. What an idiot! That's because he is just now conducting preliminary testing. The customers are all in his shop.

[ZMax]

Northgolf might be right. It's a Foot Monitor!

GSA]Note: if the system cannot detect a spin line or logo on the ball then ball spin will be calculated instead of measured.

Calculated? Really? How the hell is the LX Pro going to "calculate" ball spin/spin axis when it doesn't have club data? Even the word "estimate" is not correct here. What the LX pro will be doing is "guesstimate". Sort of like the Zelocity Tracker using lookup tables for spin data.

[bubba22]

Good point Z!

From your mouth to god's ear ZMax. I am quite anxious to see what will do the launching.

[wbealsd]

I hate being right....

I'm sure you do, but it's to the greater good that you are, and that you provide your findings here. After all, WE (the followers of this forum) depend on the honesty and outspokenness available here. And nowhere else, I might add...

[ZMax]

Thanks wbealsd.

the posting from the 16th should be more worrying! Those two images show that his software is not capable of finding the ball in the images, which is the heart of any photo based LM system!

Yup. This is like watching a train that's about to cross a bridge that's no longer there.

Failure to Launch Monitor

We should have a New Name Contest and the winner will receive the.............GC2!

LX-D....rhimes with LSD. Because martin is apparently on something.

lol But seriously how accurate will ball spin rpm's be if it's tracking your foot? Maybe it can be estimated...........

Ugh...more new products suddenly posted on the site. LX Elite. Scrambling and grasping at straws trying to figure out what might actually work...

yeah, the dream that never happened: a working LX at 2499 with all the courses. Sad, really sad.
