He called us out. In public. So we invited him.

Fair. Bring your own TrackMan, pick the course, film everything. We'll publish it uncut.
He came. He brought his own TrackMan.

I said I'd eat my words. Carry numbers were within 2 yards of my TrackMan all afternoon, on my unit, on my course. I still can't fully explain the price. But the data is the data.
The receipts
Same shots. Side by side. Here's the data.
7-iron, 20 shots, Steve's TrackMan. Raw averages — nothing cherry-picked.
| Metric | A-ONE | TrackMan | Δ |
| Ball speed | 118.4 mph | 119.1 mph | 0.6% |
| Carry | 168 yds | 171 yds | 1.8% |
| Club speed | 86.2 mph | 86.9 mph | 0.8% |
| Smash factor | 1.37 | 1.37 | 0.0% |

The question everyone asks
Why £169? Because we couldn't afford £15,000 either.
We're brothers who grew up on a municipal course, obsessed with our numbers and priced out of ever seeing them. So we asked a simple question: what does £15,000 actually pay for?
Mostly, things that aren't the radar. Doppler radar is mature, proven technology. What you pay TrackMan for is two decades of legacy R&D, tour sponsorships, sales teams and retail margin. We kept the physics and cut the rest.

⚖ What we don't do — honestly
No spin axis, no shot shape, no simulator mode. If you want to play Pebble Beach in your garage, buy the R10 — it's a good unit. If you want dead-accurate speed and carry numbers in your bag for a third of the price, that's us. We'd rather you buy the right thing.

"Numbers were within a yard or two of the TrackMan at my club fitting. For the price it's genuinely absurd."

"Use it in my garage net every evening. Gapped my whole bag in a week — I finally know my real carry numbers."

"Docked a star because I'd love spin data, but for speed and carry it's been spot on for 3 months. Battery easily lasts a full range session."

There is no way a £169 unit matches a TrackMan. The test is edited or the numbers are cherry-picked. Happy to be proven wrong but I won't be.
