Full Swing KIT Review: What Tiger's Garage Uses (And Whether You Should Care)

Let's Talk About Tiger

Yes, Tiger Woods has a Full Swing KIT. So does Jon Rahm, Brooks Koepka, and a long list of other PGA Tour professionals. This is a fact that Full Swing's marketing team has not let anyone forget.

Here's the thing though: it's actually relevant. Full Swing has been making commercial simulator systems — the kind you find in hotel suites, corporate entertainment spaces, and high-end golf facilities — for decades. The KIT is their portable consumer unit built on that same commercial technology foundation. The Tiger endorsement isn't a vanity deal; it reflects a genuine performance relationship that started before the KIT became a consumer product.

So yes, Tiger uses one. More importantly: it's actually good enough that he chooses to.

Dual Radar: What It Actually Means

Most radar launch monitors track the ball. The Full Swing KIT uses dual radar to simultaneously track both the ball and the club. This is what separates it from single-radar units like the FlightScope Mevo+ or Garmin R10.

Dual radar gives you something you can't calculate from ball data alone: real-time club data. Club speed, face angle, attack angle, path, and closure rate are all measured directly from the club head in motion, not inferred from where the ball went. This matters for fitting work, for understanding swing tendencies, and for making genuine equipment-based decisions.

In practice, the club data from the KIT feels complete in a way that single-radar units can't match. You're getting the full picture of what happened at impact from both sides of the equation.

Outdoor Performance: The Real Differentiator

Camera-based systems photograph the ball at impact. They need consistent, controlled lighting to do it accurately. Put a camera system under direct afternoon sun, with shadows moving across your hitting area, and data quality suffers noticeably.

Radar doesn't care about any of that. It's sending out radio waves and reading the reflections. Sun, clouds, shadows, ambient brightness — none of it matters. The Full Swing KIT works in full afternoon daylight the same way it works in a climate-controlled simulator room.

If you want to set this up outdoors — backyard, practice net on the patio, covered range bay — the KIT is in a different category from camera systems. This is the defining use case where it wins decisively.

Portability: "Portable" in Context

The KIT is marketed as portable, which is true in the sense that it uses a tripod mount and goes in a carrying case. It's not portable the way a Garmin R10 is portable — that thing goes in your golf bag. The KIT is more "relocatable" — setup takes a few minutes, and you can move it between locations without a truck, but it's not something you casually throw in the car for a range trip.

For a permanent setup at home with occasional moves, that's fine. For genuine travel portability, the Mevo+ or R10 serve better.

Full Swing Software

Full Swing's own software platform is included with the KIT — no subscription required for core features. The software is polished and professional in a way that reflects the company's commercial background. The interface is clean, the shot visualization is high quality, and the course library is solid.

Where it falls short relative to E6 Connect or TGC2 is breadth. E6 Connect has 100,000+ course holes; Full Swing's library is more curated but smaller. For most golfers, the available courses are more than enough. But if course variety is paramount, you'll eventually notice the gap.

The included software is legitimately good, which is part of what justifies the price. You're not paying $6,999 and then needing another $200/year before it becomes a simulator.

Accuracy vs. the GC3

At the same price point as the Foresight GC3, the inevitable comparison matters. For indoor ball tracking accuracy — particularly spin data on short game shots — the GC3's three-camera system is more precise. Cameras measuring actual ball rotation beat radar calculating spin from flight.

For club data and outdoor performance, the dual-radar KIT wins. It's measuring the club directly; the GC3 is inferring it from camera angles.

The honest answer is that they're different tools for different priorities. If you're building a pure indoor setup optimized for ball flight accuracy, the GC3 is the better choice. If outdoor use or dual-use matters at all, the KIT wins by a wide margin.

Weaknesses

• Indoor spin accuracy vs. camera systems — dual radar is excellent, but still radar. Wedge spin rates aren't as precise as GC3 camera measurements.
• Software ecosystem is narrower — Full Swing's platform is good but not as broad as E6 Connect. Third-party integrations are more limited than SkyTrak+.
• Price-to-accuracy ratio for pure indoor use — at $6,999 for indoor-only use, the GC3 is a stronger value argument.
• True portability is limited — tripod setup, not bag-and-go.

Who Should Buy the Full Swing KIT

Golfers with outdoor practice areas who want professional-grade data. Anyone setting up in a covered range bay or backyard hitting area. Players who want a system that works equally well inside and outside and are willing to pay the premium for that dual capability. Brand-conscious buyers who want the assurance of a company with real professional credentials.

Also: anyone who specifically wants complete dual-radar club data. The KIT's club tracking is genuinely the best in this price tier.

Who Should Skip It

Pure indoor users — the GC3 beats it on ball accuracy for that use case at the same price. Anyone whose total system budget is under $10,000 (the launch monitor alone is $7,000, leaving little for the rest). And anyone who needs genuine travel portability.
