About this item
- [Tempo is Everything] - Train Your Body to Swing Like a Pro. The Tempo Timer helps you practice and maintain tempo to your swing from start to finish. Tempo improves consistency in your swing when training for more speed. More speed equals more distance in your drives.
- [No Ball Needed] - Yes, you can use an actual golf ball but there's no need to hit an actual golf ball—use a wiffle ball, Birdie Ball, sponge ball or equivalent to simulate a real ball. Immediate feedback provides a basis for golfers to determine swing improvements
- [Speed Measurement] - Range of speed measurement from 40 MPH to over 200 MPH. Speed drives more distance. For every 1 mph gain an average of 1 to 2 yards distance is gained.
- [Works With Most Swing Speed Trainers] - Works with the Stack System, RypStick, SuperSpeed Stick and other popular swing trainers. Combine this with a trainer, clubs and irons to increase speed and get more yards.
- [Batteries Not Included] - Powered by 3 AA batteries (not included); ideal for both players and coaches/instructors. NOTE: Refer the Manual before use.
- [Made In USA] - Simple to use and easy to read using the same radar technology that defends our country with the Patriot Missile Defense System and reliable for over 20 years.

This unit's swing speed results hitting real balls and taking 20-30 shots, then averaging them together were basically identical to what the professional speed analyzers got. No more than +/- 1 to 2 mph variation in measured speed between the pro analyzers and this one. And that could just be me from machine setup differences, my body varying the speeds, or measuring across multiple sessions on different days.
One key thing I really like about it is it seems to measure your clubhead speed, not just the ball speed alone, so you can take practice swings on your mat at home and work on your tempo and club swing speed to tell if you're overswinging badly while you practice.
Seems very accurate if you take the time to read its included instuctions carefully and set the unit up pointing it in the direction it says in relation to the ball you're hitting. Also you must make sure the unit is not tilted forward or backward on its metal stand bracket in relation to the ground or mat you're hitting from. It should stay horizontal to the ground or practice mat.
I had no problem getting very accurate swing speed results with OR without actually hitting a ball as long as the unit was setup pointing the correct direction and well-leveled to the mat per instructions.
I saw a slight but consistent 2 to 3 mph drop in swing speed with no ball to hit, just full speed practice swing with club ticking the mat like you were taking a divot on the ground with a real ball. After trying it, I recommend at least hitting a plastic practice ball with the unit to more closely approximate your carry speed through the ball at contact.
Plastic practice balls seemed to produce results basically identical to real balls for me at least, so this seems like a valid way to practice with the unit. Real balls gave the most consistent and accurate speed measurements with only +/- 1 to 2 mph spread in velocities, averaged over many shots with the unit and trying it all three ways (real, vs. plastic vs. no ball).
Can't assess longevity and durability of the product yet, but so far it's been excellent to work with in a few practice mat sessions and at the driving range too. No problems so far with crazy readings, failure to reset for next swing, or failure to read swing at all.
Enter the Sports Sensor swing speed radar unit. With the combination of swing speed and tempo measurements from this radar unit I could slow my swing down to a repeatable tempo. Interestingly, when my swing tempo was reduced, my club head speed increased. Initially my club head speed with my driver was about 88-90MPH and my shots were wild. When I slowed my tempo, the club head speed increased to 98 - 100MPH and the ball was only 10 yards off center left and right rather than 25+ yards to the right with my quicker swing. I could not hit a draw with old swing - not possible.
I found that per the directions, you definitely need to have this unit 8-10 inches away from the ball and pointed backwards into the swing path of the club, not forward towards the ball flight. The photo in the directions is a little misleading because it looks like the radar unit is directly opposite the ball. When I had it directly across from the ball or too far away, I got all sorts of screwy data like club head speeds of 142MPH. That's not possible, I'm not Tom Watson or a long drive contestant. I had my swing speed professionally measured last year and it averaged 88-90MPH which translates to a little over 200 yards.
With practice, the data this device provided allowed me to change the settings on my Titleist 913 driver to a 9.5 degree loft (it was 10.25 degrees) and keep the draw bias to give me a little more distance and control. As I mentioned, I am a habitual slicer and I was using setting C3 on the 913 and I changed to setting B3 on a 913. With those adjustments on the driver combined with the data feedback from the radar unit applied to my swing tempo, I added 30-40 yards to my driver in 90 minutes on the range. It's amazing how much slower a golf swing feels adding just 3/10's of a second and it was repeatable and I gained muscle memory from the repeatability. I never would have know how much time to add to my backswing if I had not seen the data on the screen. OK, everything works great on the range, I'm one of the top range players on the planet and I know I have a lot of company. For whatever reason, my range success rarely translates to improvement on the course.
So I took the tempo change I learned from this unit to the course where I play which is notorious for it's tight fairways with thick rough bordered by heather farther out on either side of most fairways. I shot an 83 (41 and 42 because), my best round of the year. With the tempo change, I was hitting the ball to points on or near the fairway where I had a 6, 7 or even 8 iron into the green rather than a 3 wood or a 3 iron. It's hard to get a 3 wood or a 3 iron to stick on a green unless it's soaking wet. I had better control over my drives because my tempo was controllable and that change removed the wildness from my drives and my lower irons. I have had days where my slice is so bad that the ball might hit me in the back of the head - it's really embarrassing.
The radar unit itself is simple to use. Put in 3 AA batteries and it fires right up. The push button under the LCD screen can show you MPH, KPH (kilometers per hour), tempo time alone, swing speed alone or a combination of tempo time and swing speed. I used the latter setting for 90% of my time on the range. It comes with a small nylon stuff sack and an instruction book with a plastic information card that converts swing speed to yards. A club head speed of 98-100 MPH = about 225 yards in the air plus roll or the 240 years I was experiencing. At 90 MPH, my initial club head speed, the data on the card says I should hit the ball right around 200 years - exactly the yardage I had been seeing with my driver in the past. A couple of notes. It may be distracting to some players to have the unit 8-10 inches away but I got used to it quickly and there is a standard camera tripod screw mount on the bottom of this radar unit if you want to mount it to a tripod for other sports.
I also found that my 3 iron (Titleist 714 AP1) had a club head speed of about 92-94MPH which explains why my driver was going only ten yards farther than my 3 iron. But with the tempo and driver loft changes, I appear to have rediscovered my long lost driver. Maybe I'm really a 9 or 10 handicap with better drives - we shall see as the season plays on but initially this is a simple to use and impressive unit and I'll never go to the range without this in my bag.
Top reviews from other countries
First of all, the customer service was great. I managed to smash the screen the day after I got it and the company shipped a new screen for free (which was easy to fit). The product itself is excellent. It is very sturdy and well made - the smashed screen was due to my stupidity and not the product. It’s incredibly easy to use, you just set it up a few inches from the ball and away you go.
I’ve been using the product alongside John Novosel’s Tour Temp book (which I highly recommend). I mainly use the swing sensor in the garden with plastic balls and a net. Here are a few things I’ve noticed:
1. Getting instant feedback is invaluable. It’s amazing how you sometimes feel you’ve swung it fast but the numbers tell you you haven’t. What you learn is that timing is more important than force. My fastest swings come when the sequence of my swing falls into place with little effort to hit the ball hard.
2. Personally, I like to use the tempo function together with the speed function as I think this gives the best feedback. My backswing tends to be too quick and jerky and my transition is hurried (casting etc). I’ve learnt that slowing this down speeds up my clubhead speed considerably. The fact you can see the results by trying different things makes a huge difference.
3. I’ve used the swing speed radar on the course and I swing much faster when I hit a real ball than a plastic ball. In the garden my driver speed is about 92/93 but with a real ball is about 99/100. I don’t know why this is the case but I’ve tried it several times and always get similar results.
4. The Tour Tempo book and the radar have helped clear my mind of swing thoughts and freed up my swing. I used to worry about body positions and all that stuff but now I forget all that and just enjoy hitting the ball.
The upshot of all this is that I am swinging about 10% faster and my scores have improved rapidly. I’ve only recently joined a club after playing once or twice a year for the past 30-odd years (I’m 55). Last week I hit one of my drives 260 yards, when I usually struggle to get to 220 at best. My drives are consistently in the 240 range and I’m blocking it out to the right far less frequently. My irons are also going about 10 yards further per club. Best of all, I had nine pars in a round the other day - and missed two short putts for par on other holes. My previous best was five. It seems too easy to be true but by forgetting about where to put my arms, wrists, shoulders, feet etc and focusing on tempo has transformed my golf. I highly recommend this product, especially alongside the Tour tempo book.
