Full Swing KIT review
This is premium radar for golfers who practice outdoors a lot and have a deep garage. Owners say it tracks close to a fixed Trackman range; indoors it wants space.

My take on the Full Swing KIT
Full Swing's KIT is a radar unit with an OLED screen and 4K swing video, and owners who've used it next to a Trackman range say the numbers line up closely. Build quality and the app get consistent praise.
It's outdoor-first. Full Swing's own space guide puts the KIT 8–10 ft behind the ball with 8–10 ft of ball flight, and calls 18 ft of depth the minimum indoors. Some owners say short chips aren't read, and one who compared it with a GC3 saw indoor carries a few yards short.
Software is the other consideration: Full Swing's own simulator software is $500 a year and tied to Studio packages, so most owners use GSPro. If your practice is mostly on the range and you have the depth at home, it's a great unit. Otherwise a camera unit is easier indoors.
What I'd check before buying
- About 18 ft of depth indoors
- GSPro rather than Full Swing's own $500/yr software
- Screen glare in direct sun
How I put this review together: I haven't had this unit in my own bay. It's built from Full Swing Golf's own pages, retailer listings, published reviews and owner reports, each linked below. My research method.
The real cost of the Full Swing KIT
I saw it at $4,999.00. App Premium is optional ($99.99/yr). Full Swing's own sim software is $500/yr; most owners use GSPro ($250/yr).
| Plan or add-on | Per year | Required? | What it unlocks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Swing Golf app (free tier) | $0 | Optional | All 16 metrics, video |
| Full Swing app Premium | $99.99 | Optional | Full historical data, unlimited video storage, improvement analysis, data sharing (30-day free trial) |
| Full Swing Golf for KIT (simulator software) | $500.00 | Optional | Full Swing's own courses; only with KIT Studio PC packages (from $11,500 per Full Swing; ~$9,500-12,000 per reviews). $500/yr figure from Breaking Eighty; Full Swing site says subscription required but lists no price. |
| GSPro license (third party) | $250.00 | Optional | GSPro on PC |
- Year one
- $5,249
- Three years
- $5,749
- Five years
- $6,249
My math: price + the yearly plan a typical owner needs to play full courses ($250.00/yr). Excludes net, mat, screen and projector. Compare every plan.

The room it needs
The Full Swing KIT is a radar unit (behind ball). Radar units read the ball's flight, so they need space behind you for the unit and enough distance in front for the ball to fly before the screen.
| Unit behind the ball | 8 ft |
|---|---|
| Ball to screen (minimum) | 8 ft |
| Room depth (minimum) | 16 ft |
| Room width (minimum) | Not published |
| Ceiling (minimum) | Not published |
| Indoor / outdoor | Indoor + Outdoor |
| Special balls or stickers | No stickers; RCT balls recommended indoors. |
Full Swing: indoors 8-10 ft behind ball and 8-10 ft ball flight to screen; outdoors 10 ft behind ball. PlayBetter: 16 ft room depth minimum, 18 ft preferred. Shop Indoor Golf: 10 ft behind tee, room 9 x 13 x 21 ft.

What it measures (and what it estimates)
Makers rarely label which numbers are measured and which are calculated. Where the sources split them, I show it. A calculated value isn't useless, but it's more likely to drift indoors.
Measured
- ball speed
- launch angle
- horizontal launch angle
- spin rate
- spin axis
- club speed
- club path
- face angle
- attack angle
Calculated / estimated
- smash factor
- face-to-path
- carry distance
- total distance
- apex height
- side carry
- side total
Full Swing lists 16 'measured' metrics. Radar tracks full flight outdoors; indoors it only sees the first few feet, so flight is modeled (Breaking Eighty). Full Swing recommends Titleist RCT balls indoors (PlayBetter).

What published reviews found
These outlets published their own reviews. I summarize their headline verdict; read the full review for their testing details.
9.0/10: doesn't have everything, but may have enough; best outdoors.
Highly accurate outdoors, good enough indoors with caveats; costly and space-hungry.
