I decided to get one of these based on a number of positive reviews. I got it today and I have to say I'm pretty freaking amazed! I own a Skytrack+ but to use it I have to go to my buddies golf sim in his garage across town. With Phigolf I played in my living room. My review: 1) Skytrack+ MLM and others need to take a lesson from Phigolf on how easy it should be to connect your device. Dirt simple and it just works. 2) This is certainly not going to be an exacting sim giving you exacting numbers. But it did read my distances quite well and it caught open/closed faces and showed reasonable ball flights. 3) Like any sim I probably played better on it than I would on a real course. I mean I shot +5 on Torrey Pines. Hardly likely. I would probably be about +13, depending upon if the course was tournament or regular. But it read a lot of what I did quite right. 4) More than anything it got me swinging a club on a cold winter day. So swing movement, body movement. All good I think I can't, so far, say anything negative about this little sim.
Because of size, simplicity, and fun factor for me and the entire family with some surprising data, I'm immediately interested. I doubt it would significantly translate to on course improvement, but to walk to the den, and swing something with feedback like it gives seems like a win.
It seems to be accurate for really good golfers. I have a 75mph swing and get 25% longer than I really get. I contacted support and they said they made it that way so everyone can compete. Second the club is not aimed by the sensor. It’s aimed by the marks on the club. I still like it because it’s fun and keeps my 80 yr old body muscles in better shape during the winter in NYS USA. Comments?
Hey David, from what I would say humbly being in the top 10 golfers on phi as far as I can tell, spot on. The game is obsessive and extremely accurate, especially for seasoned golfers, looking forward to seeing you in the tournaments. Great birdie on 3 at Pebble hitting in the circle, not easy to do..........at all. Happy holidays to you and yours, take care.
Not sure what you mean about the refresh rate but the reason why I overlayed the screen recording is because with the TV it didn’t come through clearly so I just put the screen recording over it so people can see
@@davidmaxfieldgolf with the refresh rate of the TV being lower than what the camera was recording at, it caused the screen to not be visible on camera.
Im recovering from three separate back fusions from my golf life haven’t swung club in 3 years. Just been giving free lessons to my mom and her senior friends. I’ve been slowly using this for myself. For what it is accuracy is amazing plus lots of fun feels like a golf simulator. I can also put sensor in peoples clubs I’m giving lessons to I get instant feedback I can show them. Is it trackman no but for your everyday average golfer it is a legitimate training tool. Putting can be difficult but I expected that. On legit simulators putting is a challenge. I couldn’t recommend this enough it takes up no room and your non golfing buddies will love it more than your golfing friends. Highly recommend this stupid thing. I thought for sure it’s a stupid gimmick but it’s not.
The graphics are comparable to Links 2k3 creators. I hadn't played in golf in real life since 1976 or so and then only pitch and putt. I got back into it this year when my girlfriend told me to buy something I really wanted for my birthday, so I got a putter; then a 64, then a 52. This looks great, and since I've never played a real course, it looks like great training.
caught my eye on this as I live in MI and its about ti get COLD! Good video. I have a suggestion. Instead of being all focused on distance, tell us how it responds to overly closing club face or forcing an open face....do some things that would expect a bad shot and see if it still just flies up the middle.... i noticed fades and some draws but what is your normal ball shape? some of that has me curious since the sensor is in the grip you would think it could capture the rotation of the shafte very easily....
Got the first gen and my recommendation would be to leave the sensor aligned and turn the whole club when aiming (unless the 2nd gen has an alignment grip that is not symmetrical). Besides that, get used to „lift“ the Clubhead when you are not addressing the ball (like up to the ceiling). That way no unintended setup is detected and it gets part of your setup routine to then lower it to the virtual ball when you are ready.
@@davidmaxfieldgolf Great observations by len, for me with my draw swing, I tend to aim a little right on the longer shots. Agreed, in between shots or putts, club changes, point the club up always to avoid accidentally hitting the ball before ready. Also, I have had, on occasion whiffed the ball while attempting to putt. One must always be aware to keep a proper stroke every single putt. You can also putt from the fringe changing the SW to a putter, took a few months for me to learn that one. Bottom line, tough game, but awesome to play. Take care.
Wow, I didn't see that coming! Definitely surprised. Could you do us one small favor and try to intentionally mishit, go out to in, etc to see if it picks it up? Thanks for your review!
Hey David. just a note for ya mate , when you click the sensor to ajust the aim you don't need to move the sensor itself you just rotate the club and it will move you're aim point
Really interesting for those of us that don’t have the space to swing real clubs, looking forward to seeing how it compares to Skytrak etc What courses and apps are included for free, and what do you need to pay for? Thanks
This is so cool! Thanks for the review Dave. I was looking at this a while ago for me and my son, plus friends and family when they pop round. It does look good, and glad to hear you say it is accurate 👍
Kinda blows my mind with how accurate it is.. the graphics could be better but for 500 bucks it looks to be worth it to me.. i mean the e6 software is what 2500 per year? Might look into getting myself one of these for these cold below 0 winter months..
This isn’t new. I’ve owned it for almost a year. I use it with E6, & it’s fun & useful for basic swing training. I use it with Rokid Max & Xreal Air AR glasses, casted via AirPlay from my iPad or iPhone. The E6 subscription is $80USD/year. It always assumes optimal club head-to-face alignment. You should try Golf+ on the Meta Quest 3 VR headset. Get the 512GB version, & Deadeye club sticks. Your dialogue audio in this video is panned completely to the left channel, FYI.
@@davidmaxfieldgolf - I’m aware it’s the Phigolf 2. I own two of them. ;> Just letting you know about the audio. I like the Phigolf 2 & am glad you reviewed it. I also think you would be interested in Golf+ on the Quest 3 VR headset, with Deadeye VR golf sticks.
@@davidmaxfieldgolf I just got aphigolf2 today. Using it an apple iPhone 11. Trying to set out up and load courses but the software is not optimized for iPhone 11. The image extends past the borders making it impossible to see the info and select the correct item. Anyone have a solution?
I can't figure out how to get the face angle right on the swing trainer club. As soon as I pop the sensor on a real club, there are no issues with accuracy. With the swing trainer club I can only seem to hook the ball like crazy. Thinking of returning for that reason.
This would be perfect as I don’t have the space to hit a golf ball but have the space for a full golf swing. How does it compare when using proper clubs to a proper sim where you hit a ball. Does the club path, ball speed data etc all match up pretty well? Club path and attack angle is what I need to work on would it help?
Can I attach the sensor to the end of my real clubs and swing them instead? If you have the room and swing your club will the data be accurate? If so then this will be a perfect replacement for a simulator.
Just curious of the weight. Is it pretty close to a real clubweight? The golf club attachment for GOLF+ (VR) is really light and after playing that for an hour or so, makes your real clubs feel like they weigh 10lbs each.
I understand how it can estimate a ball flight based on the swing speed and swing path and face angle, but how does it figure out the impact point? How does it know which swings would be thin or fat?
Does anyone know how to get the Club Path to not be so negative? I’m hitting huge slices with this thing and it’s the path that I cannot get correct. Im not a slicer on the course so this is really frustrating. Thanks.
I have the PhiGolf2 and that comes with what you saw here as standard and also in my first video with the courses. You can add subscriptions like WGT and e6 which is priced by the respective apps 😊
@@incmplteGORILLA My experience only, Phigolf alone has all the courses one would want to play. I think but not sure, they have 7 to 9 courses that are very different and challenging. In the settings, you can choose what tee to play from, how many mulligans desired, and the speed of the greens. Any more than all that seems a bit much, that's just me. Being a competitor, it is truly all one needs, the competition is tough. Take care all.
Hey David, saw both your videos on this and I had one ordered on Amazon.

@@davidmaxfieldgolf ya thats what I was looking at. Just can't find a menu option for lefties. Was really looking forward to trying it but $399CDN is more than I'm willing to gamble with
@@davidmaxfieldgolf Tech support says that it should auto detect a left hand player. Curious if that needs to be done in the tutorial section where it has you swing that crude little 3D avatar
Next comment. I bought the WHT model for $250 and can play like 38000 courses. This incl my home courses and my brothers in GA and whatever course the PGA or LPGA are playing each week.
@@davidmaxfieldgolf it’s certainly lacks stuff but it meets my needs and budget and it’s lots of fun. We currently have 6’ of snow the last 4 days and I’m really liking this to run away to
Graphics blow rapsodo and garmin away. Definitely a fun device to play some golf at home. It would be nice to see some shot shaping and put the sensor on the end of a club and hit some real balls against some other launch monitors.
Buy a Quest 3 with Golf+. If that's too much money, buy a Quest 2 with one. Way better than this and very accurate as well since the new physics 2.0 version.
Had the phigolf 1 and one day after not too much use it just stopped working, tried contacting their support and that was worthless, so buyer beware the quality of the dongle was trash as well as the support of the product.
I don’t get it…What are you practicing with that? You don’t have the same weight in your hands like you have it with your real clubs. You don’t have ground contact. So your back will move way more down in the down swing. You don’t have a ball contact. No club face direction. So you don’t feel how to grip it. It looks to me like someone never playing Golf invented some electronic game stuff. I would totally not recommend to practice with this device. Better buy a hitting mat and practice swings and ground contacts without a ball but with your real clubs.
It supposed to be for fun and a golf sim that you can use in your home with low ceilings, not only that, if you want to put the sensor in your own clubs and hit balls, you can do that also
So what are you staring on the ground? Hmm...i am afraid this sim..may mess up my real game...what i like about this thingnis..you can attch it to your real club for the feel of it.
Sorry David I disagree completely its not good for your future development at all, miles longer than my drives pretty close with shorter irons, everything massive slice which I don't do at all any more but the biggest pile of poo on top of the dung pile is the putting part of the app it goes longer than my drives it's very poor. My only resolution is that you must be a very good player for it to be accurate enough I've had it a day its already on its way back very disappointed pal
Sorry to hear that mate. The slice will happen if the alignment isn’t correct. So the arrow in the top needs to be aligned because that’s what it’s basing the face to path off. In the next video I’ll have it up against a Skytrak and we will see the accuracy 😁
This is absolute junk. I bought one just to have a driving range experience. Even when I purposely tried pull hooks, the Sim registered slices. The putting lengths were way off too. Trying a 2 foot putt showed the ball rolling 15 feet or more. What a waste of $250.
@@JeffPassageCPA the sensor relies on club path so in the downswing if you’re coming a little over the top it will register a slice even if in real life you close the face to hit a slight fade
@davidmaxfieldgolf I tried every possible swing path and it always registered a slice. I just want people to know it's not the perfect product for indoor golf training.
So I'm curious. I'd like to get the premium tour packages but I cannot find a way to purchase them. No links, nothing on the website. How does that work?
So there is phigolf2, which I purchased. And there is phigolf world tour edition. Which is NOT phigolf2. It appears to include a whole new club and sensor. There does not seem to be a way to simply add the world tour courses to phigolf2. Confusing.

Few people have mentioned that. Would be keen to try them out
Why is your tv screen computer generated, not actual ?
Just for camera views. With the normal tv screen it can flicker so just for viewership I overlay it with the screen recording 👍🏼

Just curious of the weight. Is it pretty close to a real clubweight? The golf club attachment for GOLF+ (VR) is really light and after playing that for an hour or so, makes your real clubs feel like they weigh 10lbs each.
Yeah it is. That’s where the ball at the end comes in 😊 not sure what the exact weight is but it’s close
How can you tell if you’re topping it or chunking it? Or can’t it tell that and everything is hit cleanly (other than the direction and distance)?
I’m not sure. That’s been a common question. But it was close to GC3

Hi David what’s the difference on the new one compared to old one and can i use this as a training tool thanks
I believe like most things is just better and more improved. It could be used as a training tool if you plug the sensor into the end of your clubs
Do you need to be standing facing the tv or could you hit to an ipad and the picture transfered to the tv?
I guess you could sit 😊
How is the weight of the club compared to a real club? Is it significantly lighter? Does it feel a lot different?
Weight is much the same but I’ll answer that in the next video
Does anyone know how to get the Club Path to not be so negative? I’m hitting huge slices with this thing and it’s the path that I cannot get correct. Im not a slicer on the course so this is really frustrating. Thanks.
It’s relying on the club path so a loop in the backswing should fix it, but also make sure the arrow is aligned otherwise it will show a slice

The weight in the stock that it comes with helps with that
Good video, but the audio being panned all left is incredibly frustrating..
Editing mistake, sorry about that
Next comment. I bought the WHT model for $250 and can play like 38000 courses. This incl my home courses and my brothers in GA and whatever course the PGA or LPGA are playing each week.
That’s awesome! 👏 you must love that
@@davidmaxfieldgolf it’s certainly lacks stuff but it meets my needs and budget and it’s lots of fun. We currently have 6’ of snow the last 4 days and I’m really liking this to run away to
Graphics blow rapsodo and garmin away. Definitely a fun device to play some golf at home. It would be nice to see some shot shaping and put the sensor on the end of a club and hit some real balls against some other launch monitors.
Yes agree would love to do that with an actual club and see what a launch monitor says with a side by side comparison
Way too many reviews saying the product broke, or wouldn't charge, etc etc and the company didn't give a satisfactory response.
Mine is still working perfectly
Buy a Quest 3 with Golf+. If that's too much money, buy a Quest 2 with one. Way better than this and very accurate as well since the new physics 2.0 version.
Will try check them out.
Gotta be honest, I thought you were going to smash the TV every swing.
@@mdstrobe 😂😂
Will it work for left hand golfers and could it be put into yards and feet?
Also do the golf course simulation and swing analysis come with it free?
Answer is Yes to all of those 😁👍🏼
Had the phigolf 1 and one day after not too much use it just stopped working, tried contacting their support and that was worthless, so buyer beware the quality of the dongle was trash as well as the support of the product.
Sorry to hear that, I haven’t had that experience but sorry to hear you have
So it "works" with a normal club according to the website. But $500? No......
I have the Manley Assisted Golf Aid... $100
This also connects to e6 and WGT golf
Does it work with a golf club? Useless otherwise.
Yes it does
I wish it had a molded grip trainer for proper hand positioning
You could simply clip one on
Couldn’t hear any audio.
Sorry it’s panned to the left ear. Editing mistake.
Thanks, that's what I get for only listening with one earbud.
@@MG-th9sl I should have clicked “duel mono” my bad
Some constructive criticism - please center your audio channels! Your voice is left channel only, and your sfx are stereo. hard to listen to.
Yes was an editing mistake. Doesn’t normally happen
I don’t get it…What are you practicing with that? You don’t have the same weight in your hands like you have it with your real clubs. You don’t have ground contact. So your back will move way more down in the down swing. You don’t have a ball contact. No club face direction. So you don’t feel how to grip it. It looks to me like someone never playing Golf invented some electronic game stuff. I would totally not recommend to practice with this device. Better buy a hitting mat and practice swings and ground contacts without a ball but with your real clubs.
It supposed to be for fun and a golf sim that you can use in your home with low ceilings, not only that, if you want to put the sensor in your own clubs and hit balls, you can do that also
Is it just me or is your volume muted
The audio unfortunately went to the left ear. My mistake. Will fix on the next one
So what are you staring on the ground? Hmm...i am afraid this sim..may mess up my real game...what i like about this thingnis..you can attch it to your real club for the feel of it.
Just put the sensor in your real club and use it 😁
....lil bit of a dip there bud
Yeah I’ve got a terrible dip in my swing. Been trying to get rid of it for ages
What’s the name of the company you had it upside down when you showed it in the box
phigolf2
How many fail video's will we see when people lose the club into the tv?
Haha hopefully the wrist strap stops that
@davidmaxfieldgolf OH it has one, I didn't see it. 👍
@@Kenny_Mars all good 😊
Sorry David I disagree completely its not good for your future development at all, miles longer than my drives pretty close with shorter irons, everything massive slice which I don't do at all any more but the biggest pile of poo on top of the dung pile is the putting part of the app it goes longer than my drives it's very poor. My only resolution is that you must be a very good player for it to be accurate enough I've had it a day its already on its way back very disappointed pal
Sorry to hear that mate. The slice will happen if the alignment isn’t correct. So the arrow in the top needs to be aligned because that’s what it’s basing the face to path off. In the next video I’ll have it up against a Skytrak and we will see the accuracy 😁
Wii Golf anyone?
Better than that
WiGolf
Haven’t tried that one yet
This is absolute junk. I bought one just to have a driving range experience. Even when I purposely tried pull hooks, the Sim registered slices. The putting lengths were way off too. Trying a 2 foot putt showed the ball rolling 15 feet or more. What a waste of $250.
I’ve found mine perfect. You do have to make sure the sensor is aligned otherwise you’ll get those slices
@davidmaxfieldgolf I did everything with the sensor to prevent registering nothing but slices. Never worked. Glad it works for you. I felt cheated.
@@JeffPassageCPA the sensor relies on club path so in the downswing if you’re coming a little over the top it will register a slice even if in real life you close the face to hit a slight fade
@davidmaxfieldgolf I tried every possible swing path and it always registered a slice. I just want people to know it's not the perfect product for indoor golf training.
@@JeffPassageCPA thanks for your feedback. Was this the PhiGolf2 or the original PhiGolf?
Try hitting a bad shot.
Watch the latest video 😁
The end of the club makes zero sense. No clue why they didn't shape it like a club head. For that reason, I'm out.
Because they needed the weight to balance. A club head wouldn’t do that
Nearly all swing trainers have a similar head.
Otherwise, it's just a club!
Next you'll be moaning that flight simulators don't have wings!!!
So you can swing against any type of floor surface
It's a bad product.
He said you can put the sensor in your own clubs
Mind blown!!! 😂 this thing is a joke. Might as well play PlayStation.
Watch the other videos where I test it with Gc3
Sorry. This thing doesnt have proper club face recognition and always assumes you hit center of the face
Thanks 😁 great bit of tech
You don't say. A club without a club face doesn't have club race recognition?? That freakin' blows my mind.
It’s recognising the clubface as to whether it’s square or not based off the alignment from the sensor. It has an arrow that lines everything up
Aweseom video! I have one myself and enjoy it. And Phi Golf is pronounced like Fye. At least that's how the official videos pronounce it.
I was super impressed. And will correct the name in the next Vid 😁
This looks good heck yeah. My ceiling is 7ft interesting. Ceiling fan haven't hit it i was watching for the smack lol.
It’s good 😊
Wow way to long over repeats himself got real bored listening to him say the same thing over and over
Feel free to watch other reviews 👍🏼
So I'm curious. I'd like to get the premium tour packages but I cannot find a way to purchase them. No links, nothing on the website. How does that work?
There’s links in the description
So there is phigolf2, which I purchased. And there is phigolf world tour edition. Which is NOT phigolf2. It appears to include a whole new club and sensor. There does not seem to be a way to simply add the world tour courses to phigolf2. Confusing.
Looks super fun. But I would have liked to see if you intentionally had a bad hit if it'd read it
Watch the latest video 😁
