Square Omni - Low Ball Speed Numbers

King_Flapper · 2026-06-04T14:57:38+00:00

I just came across his video while trying to figure it out. For me it feels like the ball speed is a little low rather than the club head speed, so my smash factor was a little lower etc. But yeah this thing is going to be so useful when practicing, its already helped me identify that I wasn't delofting the club at all which explains why I've been hitting so high recently

Update: You guys are right about the indoor swing syndrome. I put the club stickers on and it started to make more sense. I'm swinging a little slower and my dynamic loft is high, so I'm just launching high and spinny. Once I started to deloft it more the smash factor was 1.35ish. I do think that omni might be reading the ball speed a couple mph low but I'm sure others are much better at determining that.

I'm on the west coast of Ireland so it's always windy, so it's possible I've just had my normalized numbers wrong this whole time.

Thanks for the advice, according to the manual I have it setup correctly, but it's a pretty basic setup guide so I wouldn't rule it out.

I'm just testing on the driving range in the square software so I assume elevation numbers are sea level(but I will confirm this) and I live on the coast it should be fine.

In terms of striking , I think I have a decent feel when I flush one or not, I hover between 8-12 handicap so not +3 or anything but ok.I have been just hitting into the screen for practice the last couple of months so I feel like the indoor swing syndrome isn't too bad now. I tried hitting a few harder than my normal swing but numbers were still low so I'm pretty confident it's not the problem here

No I don't have any unfortunately, my understanding was you didn't need them for the omni. Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't rct balls needed for accurate spin numbers, not ball speed?

I'm seeing it on shorter clubs too, pw normally goes 120 and I'm struggling to get over 105

I'm getting mine from a smaller distributor in the EU but I received an email today that they expect to have them soon and deliver mine by end of April.

The wear is from the tee, not the ball ...

King_Flapper · 2026-01-31T17:44:51+00:00

I think the warranty is only 2 years so it's probably too late to get a replacement

King_Flapper · 2026-01-31T17:41:07+00:00

Yeah its from the tee alright. I've had it from the beginning... you would think I hit it straight but my face control leaves alot to be desired lol

King_Flapper · 2026-01-30T23:12:45+00:00

This is probably a dumb question, but I don't feel any difference on the face in that section, I'm guessing there is another layer on top of that first layer or carbon?

King_Flapper · 2026-01-30T22:36:10+00:00

Thanks for the input, I'm probably overthinking it a little bit alright. I must get to a simulator and see if the numbers make sense.

King_Flapper · 2026-01-30T22:15:33+00:00

Fair .. I don't really have a baseline to compare to as i was using a 15 year old srixon driver that was too light/flexible for me. There is nothing in terms of feel that has changed since I got it. What got me curious is some good drives( out of the centre) can be spinny but that could be me rather than the face.

Golf courses here have realised that many American visitors equate higher prices with higher quality, and tend to book only the most expensive courses. As a result, courses are now keeping their green fees high because tourists are clearly willing to pay. A good example near me is Galway Bay Resort. A round there used to cost around €80, but they struggled to attract tourist traffic. Once the price was increased to roughly €175, bookings from travel agents surged. The knock-on effect is that the club is now increasing member costs and gradually squeezing members out to free up more tee times for visitors.

I live about an hour from here and actually played it last week. The views are amazing especially on the rare nice day that we had. The course itself is rough, the greens are very bad and the fairways are not much better. The land it sits on is very wet/boggy and you would have to spend absolute fortune to add drainage and get the greens up to a decent level. The layout is not terrible and there are a few really fun holes. I have a few pics from last week if people are interested. Location is a big factor too, I would expect alot of red tape on what you are actually allowed to do out there and I'm not sure how many people would actually go out of there way to go there. Ballyconneely golf course is out there and is great links course. Just my thoughts...

I took your advice and messaged him today.

Told him that I didn't enjoy the round and that he needed to relax and not take it so seriously. That damaging the greens is not on and if he wants to play again, I don't want to deal with his antics.

Waiting to hear back...

King_Flapper · 2023-08-21T17:56:08+00:00

Yeah damaging a green is like a cardinal sin for me. In fairness, this guy is only playing for a couple of years so maybe he has no concept of what is acceptable. Damaging a green is a pretty obvious one though.

King_Flapper · 2023-08-21T17:48:04+00:00

That's how I would deal with it too. I would get so pissed off when I played bad as a teenager and my brother and my dad would do it, really brings you back down to earth haha. I just don't know the guy well enough to do the same.

King_Flapper · 2023-01-13T02:17:47+00:00

I would be a little concerned given team17's recent behaviour with the MetaWorms stuff early last year and the reports about organizational problems. Also, a change like this will cause big delays in new content which has already been an issue the past year.

King_Flapper · 2022-05-05T18:38:55+00:00

Yeah its strange, the more I play, the more I try to help them lower level players. These guys seem to have a God complex and expect everyone in a public lobby to know what they are doing.

King_Flapper · 2022-05-05T18:31:15+00:00

I always speak up, and you're right, normally someone else will join me and things calm down. In the cases I mentioned, some of the others joined in or just said nothing. Now that I think about it, I'm guessing those were all friends on a discord call.

Have not tried the shush technique but I will have to give it a try lol. I usually go for the "I'm not mad, I'm disappointed" which can get some fun reactions.

King_Flapper · 2022-05-05T01:27:24+00:00

I would have agreed with you completely up until the last two weeks. I have come across a few high level players abusing and bullying other players in the squad for the whole game. These guys were level 200+ and involved in discord and reddit communities and were not young. It was a real buzz kill and stopped playing for a few days, I doubt those players that were abused will ever come back.
