I like the concept of the mat and how it works when used it works well but sometimes tells me I’m hitting a sand wedge 170 which will never happen. The mats are also not very durable after about 5-10 rounds which only took me 2 days of playing it. After those rounds it constantly starts to break down and the mats rips. My first mat I had ripped in 5 rounds of golf meaning 5 times of rather playing 9 holes or just practicing. So I got maybe 100 swings on it and then it ripped and I had to spend 50 dollars on replacements. Then the phone stand broke when I was trying to extended. I also think they need to lower the app age limit because I have an age limit on my phone and this is 18+ even though nothing bad or 18+ rated is on here. Overall a cool product but once the flaws are fixed it can be a great product also GolfDaddy if you see this please add driver and woods.

The GolfDaddy simulator has a lot of potential. The practice mode works well, and it does a solid job analyzing golf swings, contact, and divots. For working on technique, it performs exactly as expected.However, when switching over to play a nine-hole round, the simulator consistently fails to recognize swings. This makes the gameplay portion unreliable and impossible to enjoy the way it’s intended.If GolfDaddy can fix the swing-recognition issues in the course-play mode, this would be a fantastic product. The foundation is already there—the concept is great, the practice tools are effective, and the overall experience could be excellent with that one major improvement.

Finally a real review..Great Concept, Unreliable ExecutionI really wanted this to work, but after spending the weekend with it, I ended up returning the unit to Dick’s Sporting Goods. While the concept is excellent, the technology simply hasn't caught up to the idea yet.Performance & AccuracyThe shot to shot latency wasn't an issue for me, it averaged about 10 seconds, which I found acceptable. However, the data accuracy was consistently poor. I would hit a pure iron shot only for the app to register a “toe" hit. There was a frequent disconnect between reality and the screen. The app would often show the ball impacting a completely different spot on the mat than where I actually struck it.TroubleshootingI tried everything to fix the calibration issues. I adjusted the mat positioning, moved the tripod, and experimented with different distances. I even cleared the entire area of any background objects to ensure the camera had a clean view, but the misreads continued regardless of the environment.Hardware & BatteryAnother significant drawback is the power consumption. The app drains phone battery incredibly fast, making long practice sessions difficult without being tethered to a charger.Final verdict If you’re looking for meaningful data to improve your game, this isn't there yet. It feels more like a proof of concept than a finished training tool. Maybe in a few years this’ll work.

This is my first ever app review and I wish it was because it was good. I’ve had this less than 24 hours and couldn’t be more disappointed. My experience isn’t unique because the reviews are the same for 2 years. If it felt like there was hope for fast progress I might stick it out, but I’m not allowing them to keep my money. They spammed everywhere with ads because of Father’s Day and they know their product is trash and I won’t support that. To top it all off my wife is upset because this was a very thoughtful gift from her and I’m returning it. Mat durability is terrible. Again, less than 24 hours and less than 25 swings and it’s coming apart. It never worked long enough for me to hit many shots. Every 3rd or 4th shot in any mode and it gets stuck in “processing shot”. The situation doesn’t matter. It does it consistently.
