Testing the new Full Swing KIT launch monitor
When Tiger Woods posted a swing video to social media on November 21, GolfWRXers eyes were keenly trained on a piece of equipment — and it wasn’t the club in Woods’ hands. Rather, it was the launch monitor positioned behind the 15-time major champion.
The sleek, compact unit bore the logo of Full Swing, with whom Woods has had a partnership since 2015, but we didn’t have much more information about the device.
Fast forward three weeks, and not only are we able to present the backstory and technical details of the Full Swing KIT launch monitor — but GolfWRX’s Brian Knudson had a chance to demo the unit.
You can check out BK’s testing session below with the full story on Full Swing’s new launch monitor after the jump.
CEO Ryan Dotters, SVP of Sales and Marketing, Jason Fierro chatted with GolfWRX about the new KIT launch monitor. We knew “Tiger Woods helped develop it and continues to use it as his launch monitor” is a pretty powerful marketing gambit — and all the more impressive when considering the unit retails for $3,999 — but we were keen to learn more.
Four years ago, the Full Swing team set out to create an easy-to-use radar-based launch monitor that delivered the full complement of data as units that cost four times as much. In addition to being easy to use and set up, Full Swing wanted the KIT to feature a full-color display on the unit.
In terms of what is actually being displayed, the Full Swing KIT features 16 data points: carry distance, total distance, spin rate, spin axis, face angle, face to path, attack angle, launch angle, ball speed, club speed, smash factor, club path, horizontal angle, apex height, side carry distance, side total distance. Four of your choosing can be displayed on the unit itself with the rest visible within the app.
Additionally, users are able to select the data points are shown on the KIT display, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, or even spoken aloud/via headphones. The unit also records 4K video and displays in 1080P on the device of a user’s choosing.
Dotters and Fierro told GolfWRX in 2017, the company saw an opportunity for a UI/UX-focused product at a price point far lower than competitor offerings. It was important for the device to be compact, intuitive, easy to use, and for it to look like a high-tech product — and one that didn’t rely on a secondary device.
After three years of development and being told the sub-$5,000 price wasn’t achievable with the data and display features the team wanted, Full Swing finally arrived at the KIT launch monitor — and the KIT launch monitor arrived on Tiger Woods’ Instagram.
For consumers, the Full Swing KIT offers an easy to set up and use, significantly more affordable, fully loaded radar launch monitor (with an indoor mode coming in Q1 2022). For teachers, it brings down the barrier to entry to be able to offer students comprehensive launch monitor data. And for tour pros, well, let’s just say we expect we’ll see quite a few units on PGA Tour ranges once the West Coast swing is underway.
More product details on the $3,999 ($195/month with financing) Full Swing KIT on the company website.
This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.
Joel Thelen
Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.
First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.
Mitchell Meissner
Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.
Bud Cauley had >14 clubs in his bag when photographed prior to the Memorial Tournament.

- macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”

“And for tour pros, well, let’s just say we expect we’ll see quite a few units on PGA Tour ranges once the West Coast swing is underway.”
The lie detector test confirmed that was a lie.

Mevo+ accomplished this feat a little more than a year ago….and for cheaper. Full Swing wants to nickel and dime you to death.

I bought the mevo+ and hated it. This may suck too who knows. I would recommend the GC3 for 7.

Androids worldwide market share is 70 percent of the market, try getting out occasionally and learning something.

Put it against a Trackman and GCQuad to see how accurate it is. That would be the obvious test. But I imagine Full Swing doesn’t want that out there.

Dec 15, 2021 at 2:36 am
It’s OK, it’s known quite well in the industry that Trackman and the Quad aren’t that accurate either
Nonsense
Dec 19, 2021 at 11:42 am
If by widely accepted you mean used to track metrics during the pga tour telecasts and trusted by almost every single pga tour player on the range. You either have no clue what you’re talking about or work for fullswing.

Why do you assume trackman and gc quad are so accurate? My neighbor works for one of the major golf OEMs and we take his trackman and my Mevo and compare them …. The Mevo is almost dead nuts on with the trackman
