Key Tradeoffs
Manufacturer/retailer-stated accuracy: +/-3% ball speed, +/-5% carry distance; measuring range 30-320 yards. Independent review (Practical-Golf vs. Foresight) found 7-iron within ~0.94% and driver ~3.7% on carry; reviewers note occasional large carry misreads, especially with driver, partly because

Technology
Doppler radar (microwave). Single K-band 24 GHz radar sensor. Senses club/ball motion via Doppler shift and DIRECTLY measures swing (clubhead) speed and ball speed; smash factor is derived (ball speed / club speed) and carry distance is CALCULATED/projected from those measured…
Ball Data
4 displayed metrics — swing (clubhead) speed, ball speed, smash factor, carry distance; stores averages for last 100 shots per club; three on-device play modes (Practice, Target, Random/Approach); measuring range 30-320 yards; stated accuracy +/-3% ball speed, +/-5% carry…
Club Data
calculated — swing/clubhead speed is provided (measured via radar) plus smash factor (ball speed / club speed). No club path, face angle, attack angle, or other club-delivery metrics.
Sim Ready
None / native only. The SC100 is a standalone practice launch monitor with a built-in 4" LCD and no app, Bluetooth, or PC connectivity (a wireless remote selects clubs but does not transmit data). It does NOT drive golf simulation software
