I was in the same spot and do alot of work travel so I ended up buying Spica3 basically same as BLP or GC3. Found to be accurate on the range and compared to other monitors. Can do full range or courses on IPad which is what I take to the range with me. No subscription required…

I've had the new version Spica 3 Plus. One sticker on the toe of the club allows club data. Very impressed with it so far. Eventual firmware updates will have club data without a sticker.

Literally couldn’t agree with this more! And who knows with the interference which one was actually accurate. We used the spica for 2.5 months while building the new sim room and it was flawless! Same distances and everything as we saw outside. Yeah the ball speed is slightly…

I tested the Golfjoy Spica 3, there are a lot of potential reasons it could be worthwhile but at this point it is not quite there yet. The software is incredibly lacking and there are a lot of bugs. It’s impossible to manipulate or filter the data in any way and certain data…

I own the Spica 3 and don’t use their software. I run it with GSPro and also take it to the range or out on the course using the built in display. It’s just as accurate as the GS3, and the best part is I picked it up brand new for $2,600 with no subscription. Definitely a win all…

I beg to differ. The Spica 3 is a great device. I picked mine up for 2600 with no subscription fee for ball and data. Is as accurate as a GC3. Had mine for a few months now with 0 issues.

It's a great unit. I've tested mine against a Trackman and got very similar numbers. The Spica 3 is easily a better value than the Foresight GC3 for many reasons.

I used it this morning! So yes it does but it is only very very slight. Honestly it was hard to tell for me without directly comparing it to the gc3. I'm going to do another head to head test with it because I'm struggling to tell if it's there. Amazing unit! I would highly…

I think the mevo gen 2 is accurate. The radar definitely wasn’t suited for our space in a metal building. You just have to have everything setup perfectly to get it right and then the putting is still not great whatever you do. We used the Spica for 2 months while building our…

Thanks for the video, very helpful. Recently got to play around with the GolfJoy Spica 3 and really enjoyed it, great software and amazing graphics. These are only my opinions, and I would love to hear your take on the product if you ever get around to testing it.

@sanders4821 Had the Spica for about a month now. It’s accurate and has put out near identical numbers to my Mevo+. Set up at home and on the range is so quick, which is my favorite part. The free GolfJoy Pro app isn’t the best, especially for analyzing data. Overall, would…

Yeah very initially impressed with the unit and I will definitely ask about the MAC integration 👍👍 it's just a nice option to have. Hitting area is fantastic!
