Ratings and reviews

Any 20 handicapper can home in the right action at the range. Hence "but I was hitting so well at the range"... You want feedback during a practice round, different clubs, challenges & lies, time between shots to forget the feeling. Yet bluetooth will disconnect if that is tried. Session lost... Recal. My BT pressure plate soles don't disconnect. And if you wish to train in a studio, bring back the Windows app which allows people to see the results alongside Catalyst,... A big disappointment.

The hardware is great and the app is getting better with new drills and recommendations to improve. The main issue that I have is that the app on either a phone or a tablet doesn't scale or adjust the spacing of the graphics, text or graph to better fit them on the screen. It is painful to have to scroll after each shot to see the data. There could also be more tones or even a voice prompt to tell you what to do or for feedback to reduce having to look at the screen during setup.

OverallI really like the app opening data in the app can take a long time to open. Love the platform and it has helpes me improve. It would be nice if the data was exportable as a csv for review on a big screen in excel.
