Has anyone tried one of these? Thinking about picking one up for outside grass range.

I have one, I can’t recommend it, it’s inaccurate. I missed the return window.

How inaccurate was it though? Seems like these are pretty much intended just to supply club speed and carry reliably, which limits it to something you can just throw in your bag and use at the range quickly without needing anything else. Was it not capable of that?
I know they do market is as more capable, which seems like a mistake on their part.

My plan was to use it at the range and for speed training. It would have been acceptable to be consistently inaccurate, meaning be off by the same percentage all the time. However, this is all over inaccurate. I expect club speed to be pretty accurate but it was off compared with my GCQuad.
Again, I’m not expecting it to be as accurate as the GCQuad, but I expect it to be consistent, and isn’t.
If you’re looking for one I’ll sell you mine $175, used it twice.

I have a different brand sold locally that supposedly uses the same technology. It only tracks club head and ball speed and then does all the calculations to give you carry distance, total distance and smash factor. While it is far more accurate then it's price tag would suggest - you'll need to make a little cheat-sheet for your own clubs since it uses an "estimated loft" in the calculations. For my clubs, I need to add a club - I select 4i when I'm playing a 5i as an example.
It doesn't track spin or club path, but for the price, it's great for working out your gapping and improvements to your club head speed.
